Interesting Behavior

Dynamical systems with special properties are continually being proposed and studied. Many of these systems are variants of the simple harmonic oscillator with nonlinear damping. This paper characterizes these systems as a hierarchy of increasingly complicated equations with correspondingly interesting behavior, including coexisting attractors, chaos in the absence of equilibria, and strange attractor/repellor pairs.

Special Case

We study the structure of a quantum algebra in which a parity-violating term modifies the standard commutation relation between the creation and annihilation operators of the simple harmonic oscillator. We discuss several useful applications of the modified algebra. We show that the Bernoulli and Euler numbers arise naturally in a special case. We also show a connection with Gaussian and non-Gaussian squeezed states of the simple harmonic oscillator. Such states have been considered in quantum optics. The combinatorial theory of Bernoulli and Euler numbers is developed and used to calculate matrix elements for squeezed states.
