AbstractA method is considered for locating oscillating, nonrotating solutions for the parametrically-excited pendulum by inferring that a particular horseshoe exists in the stable and unstable manifolds of the local saddles. In particular, odd-periodic solutions are determined which are difficult to locate by alternative numerical techniques. A pseudo-Anosov braid is also located which implies the existence of a countable infinity of periodic orbits without the horseshoe assumption being necessary.

We establish an equivalence between infinitely many asymptotically stable periodic solutions and subsumed homoclinic connections for [Formula: see text]-dimensional piecewise-linear continuous maps. These features arise as a codimension-three phenomenon. The periodic solutions are single-round: they each involve one excursion away from a central saddle-type periodic solution. The homoclinic connection is subsumed in the sense that one branch of the unstable manifold of the saddle solution is contained entirely within its stable manifold. The results are proved by using exact expressions for the periodic solutions and components of the stable and unstable manifolds which are available because the maps are piecewise-linear. We also describe a practical approach for finding this phenomenon in the parameter space of a map and illustrate the results with the three-dimensional border-collision normal form.

A numerical study of an interior crisis of a large-amplitude Alfvén wave described by the driven-dissipative derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation, in the low-dimensional limit, is reported. An example of Alfvén interior crisis is characterized using the unstable periodic orbits and their associated invariant stable and unstable manifolds in the Poincaré plane. We suggest that this type of chaotic transition can be observed in space and laboratory plasmas.

The border-collision normal form is a piecewise-linear continuous map on ℝN that describes the dynamics near border-collision bifurcations of nonsmooth maps. This paper studies a codimension-three scenario at which the border-collision normal form with N = 2 exhibits infinitely many attracting periodic solutions. In this scenario there is a saddle-type periodic solution with branches of stable and unstable manifolds that are coincident, and an infinite sequence of attracting periodic solutions that converges to an orbit homoclinic to the saddle-type solution. Several important features of the scenario are shown to be universal, and three examples are given. For one of these examples, infinite coexistence is proved directly by explicitly computing periodic solutions in the infinite sequence.

We present a method for finding symbolic dynamics for a planar diffeomorphism with a homoclinic tangle. The method only requires a finite piece of tangle, which can be computed with available numerical techniques. The symbol space is naturally given by components of the complement of the stable and unstable manifolds. The shift map defining the dynamics is a factor of a subshift of finite type, and is obtained from a graph related to the tangle. The entropy of this shift map is a lower bound for the topological entropy of the planar diffeomorphism. We give examples arising from the Hénon family.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate the escape dynamics in a Hamiltonian system describing the motion of stars in a galaxy with two exit channels through the analysis of the successive intersections of the stable and unstable manifolds to the main unstable periodic orbits with an adequate surface of section. We describe in detail the origin of the spirals shapes of the windows through which stars escape.

According to the theory of stable and unstable manifolds of an equilibrium point, we firstly find out some geometrical properties of orbits on the stable and unstable manifolds of a saddle point under some brief conditions of nonlinear terms composed of polynomials for [Formula: see text]-dimensional time continuous system. These properties show that the orbits on stable and unstable manifolds of the saddle point will stay on the corresponding stable and unstable subspaces in the [Formula: see text]-neighborhood of the saddle point. Furthermore, the necessary conditions of existence for orbit homoclinic to a saddle point are exposed. Some examples including homoclinic bifurcation are given to indicate the application of the results. Finally, the conclusions are presented.

We prove several new versions of the Hadamard–Perron theorem, which relates infinitesimal dynamics to local dynamics for a sequence of local diffeomorphisms, and in particular establishes the existence of local stable and unstable manifolds. Our results imply the classical Hadamard–Perron theorem in both its uniform and non-uniform versions, but also apply much more generally. We introduce a notion of ‘effective hyperbolicity’ and show that if the rate of effective hyperbolicity is asymptotically positive, then the local manifolds are well behaved with positive asymptotic frequency. By applying effective hyperbolicity to finite-orbit segments, we prove a closing lemma whose conditions can be verified with a finite amount of information.

A New Technique

We consider a class of parametrically driven nonlinear oscillators: x¨ + k1x + k2f(x,x˙)P(Ωt) = 0, P(Ωt + 2π) = P(Ωt)(*) which can be used to describe, e.g., a pendulum with vibrating length, or the displacements of colliding particle beams in high energy accelerators. Here we study numerically and analytically the subharmonic periodic solutions of (*), with frequency 1/m ≅ √k1, m = 1, 2, 3,…. In the cases of f(x,x˙) = x3 and f(x,x˙) = x4, with P(Ωt) = cost, all of these so called synchronized periodic orbits are obtained numerically, by a new technique, which we refer to here as the indicatrix method. The theory of generalized averaging is then applied to derive highly accurate expressions for these orbits, valid to the second order in k2. Finally, these analytical results are used, together with the perturbation methods of multiple time scaling, to obtain second order expressions for regions of instability of synchronized periodic orbits in the k1, k2 plane, which agree very well with the results of numerical experiments.
