Hamiltonian Chaos

Nondissipative or Hamiltonian systems are also capable of chaos as phase space volume is twisted and folded in area-preserving maps like the Standard Map. When nonintegrable terms are added to a potential function, Hamiltonian chaos emerges. The Standard Map (also known as the Chirikov map) for a periodically kicked rigid rotator provides a simple model with which to explore the emergence of Hamiltonian chaos as well as the KAM theory of islands of stability. A periodically kicked harmonic oscillator displays extended chaos in the web map. Hamiltonian classical chaos makes a direct connection to quantum chaos, which is illustrated using the chaotic stadium, for which quantum scars are associated with periodic classical orbits in the stadium.

We consider the standard map, as a paradigm of area preserving map, when the variables are taken as complex. We study how to detect the complex homoclinic points, which cannot dissappear under a homoclinic tangency. This seems a promising tool to understand the stochastic zones of area preserving maps. The paper is mainly phenomenological and includes theoretical support to the observed phenomena. Several conjectures are stated.

Magnetic islands in toroidal heliac stellarator vacuum fields are explored with Hamiltonian chaos theory and the associated area-preserving maps. Magnetic field line island chains are examined first analytically, with perturbation theory, and then numerically to produce Poincaré sections, which are compared with H−1 Heliac stellarator puncture plot diagrams. Rotational transform profiles are chosen to permit the comparison of twist map and nontwist map predictions with field line behaviour computed by a field line tracing computer program and observed experimentally.

In recent years, conservative dynamical systems have become a vivid area of research from the statistical mechanical characterization viewpoint. With this respect, several areapreserving maps have been studied. It has been numerically shown that the probability distribution of the sum of the suitable random variable of these systems can be well approximated by a Gaussian (q-Gaussian) when the initial conditions are randomly selected from the chaotic sea (region of stability islands) in the available phase space. In this study, we will summarize these results and discuss a special case for the standard map, a paradigmatic example of area-preserving maps, for which the map is totally integrable.

The goal is to develop a tourist interactive map "Landmarks of Bohuslav". The methodology. The methodological and theoretical basis of the study is modern geographical and cartographic science in the field of thematic mapping with the involvement of web-mapping technologies. Results. A large-scale tourist web map of the cultural heritage of the Boguslavsky region - “Sights of Boguslavshchina” was created. Scientific novelty. Approbation of the methodology and technology for the development of interactive large-scale web maps of tourism topics involving the Leaflet JavaScript library. Practical value. An interactive tourist web map of the historical and cultural heritage sites “Sights of Bohuslavshchina” will be published on the website of the health-improving institution of sanatorium-type “Chaika”. Convenient using, visualization, prompt receipt of information will help to increase the attractiveness of tourist Boguslavschina routes.

Abstract The paper deals with the performance testing of web mapping services. The paper describes map service tests in which it is possible to determine the performance characteristics of a map service, depending on the location and scale of the map. The implementation of the test is tailored to the Web Map Service specifications provided by the Open Geospatial Consortium. The practical experiment consists of testing the map composition acquired from OpenStreetMap data for the area of southwestern Slovakia. These tests permit checking the performance of services in different positions, verifying the configuration of services, the composition of a map, and the visualization of geodata. The task of this paper is to also highlight the fact that it is not sufficient to only interpret a map service performance with conventional indicators. A map service’s performance should be linked to information about the map’s scale and location.
