The paper deals with surface gradient-like diffeomorphisms. The closures of the invariant manifolds of saddle points of such systems contain nodal points in their closure. In the case when there is only one such point, the closure of the invariant manifold is a closed curve that is homeomorphic to the circle. In a general case the conjugating homeomorphism changes the homotopy type of the closed curve, while the diffeomorphisms themselves may remain in the same isotopic class. This means that in the space of diffeomorphisms two such systems are connected by an arc, but every such arc necessarily undergoes bifurcations. In this paper, we describe a scenario for changing the homotopy type of the closure of the invariant saddle manifold. Moreover, the constructed arc is stable in the space of diffeomorphisms.

Invariant manifolds provide important information about the structure of flows. When basins of attraction are present, the stable invariant manifold serves as the boundary between these basins. Thus, in experimental applications such as vibrations problems, knowledge of these manifolds is essential to understanding the evolution of phase space trajectories. Most existing methods for identifying invariant manifolds of a flow rely on knowledge of the flow field. However, in experimental applications only knowledge of phase space trajectories is available. We provide modifications to several existing invariant manifold detection methods which enables them to deal with trajectory only data, as well as introduce a new method based on the concept of phase space warping. The method of Stochastic Interrogation applied to the damped, driven Duffing equation is used to generate our data set. The result is a set of trajectory data which randomly populates a phase space. Manifolds are detected from this data set using several different methods. First is a variation on manifold “growing,” and is based on distance of closest approach to a hyperbolic trajectory with “saddle like behavior.” Second, three stretching based schemes are considered. One considers the divergence of trajectory pairs, another quantifies the deformation of a nearest neighbor cloud, and the last uses flow fields calculated from the trajectory data. Finally, the new phase space warping method is introduced. This method takes advantage of the shifting (warping) experienced by a phase space as the parameters of the system are slightly varied. This results in a shift of the invariant manifolds. The region spanned by this shift, provides a means to identify the invariant manifolds. Results show that this method gives superior detection and is robust with respect to the amount of data.

In this paper we will find continuous periodic orbits passing near infinity for a class of polynomial vector fields in ℝ3. We consider polynomial vector fields that are invariant under a symmetry with respect to a plane Σ and that possess a "generalized heteroclinic loop" formed by two singular points e+ and e- at infinity and their invariant manifolds Γ and Λ. Γ is an invariant manifold of dimension 1 formed by an orbit going from e- to e+, Γ is contained in ℝ3 and is transversal to Σ. Λ is an invariant manifold of dimension 2 at infinity. In fact, Λ is the two-dimensional sphere at infinity in the Poincaré compactification minus the singular points e+ and e-. The main tool for proving the existence of such periodic orbits is the construction of a Poincaré map along the generalized heteroclinic loop together with the symmetry with respect to Σ.

Abstract A numerical method for constructing nonlinear normal modes for piecewise linear autonomous systems is presented. Based on the concept of invariant manifolds, a Galerkin based approach is applied here to obtain nonlinear normal modes numerically. The accuracy of the constructed nonlinear modes is checked by the comparison of the motion on the invariant manifold to the exact solution, in both time and frequency domains. It is found that the Galerkin based construction approach can represent the invariant manifold accurately over strong nonlinearity regions. Several interesting dynamic characteristics of the nonlinear modal motion are found and compared to those of linear modes. The stability of the nonlinear normal modes of a two-degree of freedom system is investigated using characteristic multipliers and Poincaré maps, and a flip bifurcation is found for both nonlinear modes.

The invariant manifold approach is used to explore the dynamics of a non-linear rotor, by determining the non-linear normal modes, constructing a reduced order model and evaluating its performance in the case of response to an initial condition. The procedure to determine the approximation of the invariant manifolds is discussed and a strategy to retain the speed dependent effects on the manifolds without solving the eigenvalue problem for each spin speed is presented. The performance of the reduced system is analysed in function of the spin speed.

We study the effect of slow flow dynamics and slow invariant manifolds on the energy transfer and dissipation of a dissipative system of two linear oscillators coupled with an essential nonlinear oscillator with a mass much smaller than the masses of the linear oscillators. We calculate the slow flow of the system, the slow invariant manifold, the total energy of the system, and the energy that is stored in the nonlinear oscillator for different sets of the parameters and show that the bifurcations of the SIM and the dynamics of the slow flow play an important role in the energy transfer from the linear to the nonlinear oscillator and the rate of dissipation of the total energy of the initial system.

We analyze the motions of a conservative pendulum-oscillator system in the context of invariant manifolds of motion. Using the singular perturbation methodology, we show that whenever the natural frequency of the oscillator is sufficiently larger than that of the pendulum, there exists a global invariant manifold passing through all static equilibrium states and tangent to the linear eigenspaces at these equilibrium states. The invariant manifold, called slow, carries a continuum of slow periodic motions, both oscillatory and rotational. Computations to various orders of approximation to the slow invariant manifold allow analysis of motions on the slow manifold, which are verified with numerical experiments. Motion on the slow invariant manifold is identified with a slow nonlinear normal mode.

In this paper, vortex shedding and suppression are numerically investigated as autonomous and non-autonomous dynamical systems respectively. Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) are used as a numerical tool to analyze these systems. These structures are ridges of Finite time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) which act as material surfaces that are transport barriers within the flow. Initially, the utility of LCSs is explored for revealing the coherent structures of these systems. Finally, an active flow control method, steady rotation is applied to the non-autonomous dynamical system with different speed ratios to mitigate vortex shedding magnitude. This will eventually turn the system into an autonomous system. Fixed saddle points, separation profiles essentially as unstable time variant manifolds attached to cylinder wall and evolution of other unstable manifolds with variant speed ratios are analyzed with reference to LCSs. It is revealed that speed ratio of 2.1 fully suppresses the von Karman vortex street at Reynolds number of 100 and system turns into an autonomous dynamical system with fixed saddle points and time-invariant manifolds.

We study a structure of four-dimensional phase space decomposition on trajectories of Morse-Smale flows admitting heteroclinical intersections. More precisely, we consider a class G(S4) of Morse-Smale flows on the sphere S4 such that for any flow f∈G(S4) its non-wandering set consists of exactly four equilibria: source, sink and two saddles. Wandering set of such flows contains finite number of heteroclinical curves that belong to intersection of invariant manifolds of saddle equilibria. We describe a topology of embedding of saddle equilibria’s invariant manifolds; that is the first step in the solution of topological classification problem. In particular, we prove that the closures of invariant manifolds of saddle equlibria that do not contain heteroclinical curves are locally flat 2-sphere and closed curve. These manifolds are attractor and repeller of the flow. In set of orbits that belong to the basin of attraction or repulsion we construct a section that is homeomoprhic to the direct product S2×S1. We study a topology of intersection of saddle equlibria’s invariant manifolds with this section.

SynopsisBased on Fenichel's geometric idea, invariant manifold theory is applied to singular perturbation problems. This approach clarifies the nature of outer and inner solutions. A specific condition is given to ensure the existence of heteroclinic connections between normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. A method to approximate the connections is also presented.
