The aim of this paper is to introduce the tippedisk to the theoretical mechanics community as a new mechanical-mathematical archetype for friction induced instability phenomena. We discuss the modeling and simulation of the tippedisk, which is an inhomogeneous disk showing an inversion phenomenon similar but more complicated than the tippetop. In particular, several models with different levels of

Confinement Strategies in a Simple SIR Model Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-12-07 Gilberto Nakamura, Basil Grammaticos, Mathilde Badoual
We propose a simple deterministic, differential equation-based, SIR model in order to investigate the impact of various confinement strategies on a most virulent epidemic. Our approach is motivated by the current COVID-19 pandemic. The main hypothesis is the existence of two populations of susceptible persons, one which obeys confinement and for which the infection rate does not exceed 1, and a population

Dynamics of the Tippe Top on a Vibrating Base Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-12-07 Alexey V. Borisov, Alexander P. Ivanov
This paper studies the conditions under which the tippe top inverts in the presence of vibrations of the base along the vertical. A vibrational potential is constructed by averaging and it is shown that, when this potential is added to the system, the Jellett integral is preserved. This makes it possible to apply the modified Routh method and to find the effective potential to whose critical points

Shape-invariant Neighborhoods of Nonsaddle Sets Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-12-07 Martin Shoptrajanov, Nikita Shekutkovski
Asymptotically stable attractors are only a particular case of a large family of invariant compacta whose global topological structure is regular. We devote this paper to investigating the shape properties of this class of compacta, the nonsaddle sets. Stable attractors and unstable attractors having only internal explosions are examples of nonsaddle sets. The main aim of this paper is to generalize

This paper deals with the analysis of Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations in three-degree-of-freedom systems, for which the frequencies of the linearization of the corresponding Hamiltonians are in \(\omega:3:6\) resonance (\(\omega=1\) or \(2\)). We obtain the truncated second-order normal form that is not integrable and expressed in terms of the invariants of the reduced phase space. The truncated first-order

In this paper, we study gradient-like flows without heteroclinic intersections on an \(n\)-sphere up to topological conjugacy. We prove that such a flow is completely defined by a bicolor tree corresponding to a skeleton formed by codimension one separatrices. Moreover, we show that such a tree is a complete invariant for these flows with respect to the topological equivalence also. This result implies

Rheonomic Systems with Nonlinear Nonholonomic Constraints: The Voronec Equations Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-12-07 Federico Talamucci
One of the earliest formulations of dynamics of nonholonomic systems traces back to 1895 and is due to Chaplygin, who developed his analysis under the assumption that a certain number of the generalized coordinates do not occur either in the kinematic constraints or in the Lagrange function. A few years later Voronec derived equations of motion for nonholonomic systems removing the restrictions demanded

The motion of a spherical robot with periodically changing moments of inertia, internal rotors and a displaced center of mass is considered. It is shown that, under some restrictions on the displacement of the center of mass, the system of interest features chaotic dynamics due to separatrix splitting. A stability analysis is made of the upper equilibrium point of the ball and of the periodic solution

The present work is devoted to the detailed quantification of the transition from spiral waves to spiral wave chimeras in a network of self-sustained oscillators with two-dimensional geometry. The basic elements of the network under consideration are the van der Pol oscillator or the FitzHugh – Nagumo neuron. Both of the models are in the regime of relaxation oscillations. We analyze the regime by

A nonlinear fourth-order differential equation with arbitrary refractive index for description of the pulse propagation in an optical fiber is considered. The Cauchy problem for this equation cannot be solved by the inverse scattering transform and we look for solutions of the equation using the traveling wave reduction. We present a novel method for finding soliton solutions of nonlinear evolution

A tangential trapezoid, also called a circumscribed trapezoid, is a trapezoid whose four sides are all tangent to a circle within the trapezoid: the in-circle or inscribed circle. In this paper we classify all planar four-body central configurations, where the four bodies are at the vertices of a tangential trapezoid.

This paper addresses the problem of a spherical robot having an axisymmetric pendulum drive and rolling without slipping on a vibrating plane. It is shown that this system admits partial solutions (steady rotations) for which the pendulum rotates about its vertical symmetry axis. Special attention is given to problems of stability and stabilization of these solutions. An analysis of the constraint

The properties of the Gibbs ensembles of Hamiltonian systems describing the motion along geodesics on a compact configuration manifold are discussed. We introduce weakly ergodic systems for which the time average of functions on the configuration space is constant almost everywhere. Usual ergodic systems are, of course, weakly ergodic, but the converse is not true. A range of questions concerning the

Persistence of Hyperbolic-type Degenerate Lower-dimensional Invariant Tori with Prescribed Frequencies in Hamiltonian Systems Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-12-07 Junxiang Xu, Jiangong You
It is known that under Kolmogorov’s nondegeneracy condition, the nondegenerate hyperbolic invariant torus with Diophantine frequencies will persist under small perturbations, meaning that the perturbed system still has an invariant torus with prescribed frequencies. However, the degenerate torus is sensitive to perturbations. In this paper, we prove the persistence of two classes of hyperbolic-type

Energy band rearrangement along a control parameter in isolated molecules is studied through axially symmetric Hamiltonians describing the coupling of two angular momenta \(\mathbf{S}\) and \(\mathbf{L}\) of fixed amplitude. We focus our attention on the case \(S=1\) which, albeit nongeneric, describes the global rearrangement of a system of energy bands between two well-defined limits corresponding

In this study, we analyze how changes in the geometry of a potential energy surface in terms of depth and flatness can affect the reaction dynamics. We formulate depth and flatness in the context of one- and two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) Hamiltonian normal form for the saddle-node bifurcation and quantify their influence on chemical reaction dynamics [1, 2]. In a recent work, García-Garrido et al. [2]

This is a short review of the theory of chaos in Bohmian quantum mechanics based on our series of works in this field. Our first result is the development of a generic theoretical mechanism responsible for the generation of chaos in an arbitrary Bohmian system (in 2 and 3 dimensions). This mechanism allows us to explore the effect of chaos on Bohmian trajectories and study in detail (both analytically

Dynamics and Bifurcations on the Normally Hyperbolic Invariant Manifold of a Periodically Driven System with Rank-1 Saddle Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-09-28 Manuel Kuchelmeister, Johannes Reiff, Jörg Main, Rigoberto Hernandez
In chemical reactions, trajectories typically turn from reactants to products when crossing a dividing surface close to the normally hyperbolic invariant manifold (NHIM) given by the intersection of the stable and unstable manifolds of a rank-1 saddle. Trajectories started exactly on the NHIM in principle never leave this manifold when propagated forward or backward in time. This still holds for driven

Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics, Fractal Phase-Space Distributions, the Cantor Set, and Puzzles Involving Information Dimensions for Two Compressible Baker Maps Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-09-28 William G. Hoover, Carol G. Hoover
Deterministic and time-reversible nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations typically generate “fractal” (fractional-dimensional) phase-space distributions. Because these distributions and their time-reversed twins have zero phase volume, stable attractors “forward in time” and unstable (unobservable) repellors when reversed, these simulations are consistent with the second law of thermodynamics

The problem of rolling a nonholonomic bundle of two bodies is considered: a spherical shell with a rigid body rotating along the axis of symmetry, on which rotors spinning relative to this body are fastened. This problem can be regarded as a distant generalization of the Chaplygin ball problem. The reduced system is studied by analyzing Poincaré maps constructed in Andoyer – Deprit variables. A classification

The stability of linear mechanical systems with finite numbers of degrees of freedom subjected to potential and non-conservative positional forces is considered. The positive semi-definiteness of the potential energy is assumed. Three new stability criteria which are in a simple way related to the properties of the system matrices are derived. These criteria improve previously obtained results of the

A generalization of the classical Kapitza pendulum is considered: an inverted planar mathematical pendulum with a vertically vibrating pivot point in a time-periodic horizontal force field. We study the existence of forced oscillations in the system. It is shown that there always exists a periodic solution along which the rod of the pendulum never becomes horizontal, i. e., the pendulum never falls

This paper numerically addresses optical dromions and domain walls that are monitored by Kundu – Mukherjee – Naskar equation. The Kundu – Mukherjee – Naskar equation is considered because this model describes the propagation of soliton dynamics in optical fiber communication system. The scheme employed in this work is Laplace – Adomian decomposition type. The accuracy of the scheme is \(O(10^{-8})\)

A New $$(3+1)$$ -dimensional Hirota Bilinear Equation: Its Bäcklund Transformation and Rational-type Solutions Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-07-30 Kamyar Hosseini; Majid Samavat; Mohammad Mirzazadeh; Wen-Xiu Ma; Zakia Hammouch
The behavior of specific dispersive waves in a new \((3+1)\)-dimensional Hirota bilinear (3D-HB) equation is studied. A Bäcklund transformation and a Hirota bilinear form of the model are first extracted from the truncated Painlevé expansion. Through a series of mathematical analyses, it is then revealed that the new 3D-HB equation possesses a series of rational-type solutions. The interaction of lump-type

Bernoulli Property for Some Hyperbolic Billiards Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-07-30 Rodrigo M.D. Andrade
We prove that hyperbolic billiards constructed by Bussolari and Lenci are Bernoulli systems. These billiards cannot be studied by existing approaches to analysis of billiards that have some focusing boundary components, which require the diameter of the billiard table to be of the same order as the largest curvature radius along the focusing component. Our proof employs a local ergodic theorem which

We study the dynamics of a simple pendulum attached to the center of mass of a satellite in an elliptic orbit. We consider the case where the pendulum lies in the orbital plane of the satellite.

We present some necessary conditions for quasi-homogeneous differential systems to be completely integrable via Kovalevskaya exponents. Then, as an application, we give a new link between the weak-Painlevé property and the algebraical integrability for polynomial differential systems. Additionally, we also formulate stronger theorems in terms of Kovalevskaya exponents for homogeneous Newton systems

We consider the stability of the equilibrium position of a periodic Hamiltonian system with one degree of freedom. It is supposed that the series expansion of the Hamiltonian function, in a small neighborhood of the equilibrium position, does not include terms of second and third degree. Moreover, we focus on a degenerate case, when fourth-degree terms in the Hamiltonian function are not enough to

For the 4-body problem there is the following conjecture: Given arbitrary positive masses, the planar 4-body problem has a unique convex central configuration for each ordering of the masses on its convex hull. Until now this conjecture has remained open. Our aim is to prove that this conjecture cannot be extended to the (ℓ + 2)-body problem with ℓ ⩾ 3. In particular, we prove that the symmetric (2n

Experimental Results Versus Computer Simulations of Noisy Poincaré Maps in an Intermittency Scenario Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-05-31 Ezequiel del Rio; Sergio Elaskar
Intermittency is a route to chaos when transitions between laminar and chaotic dynamics occur. The main attribute of intermittency is the reinjection mechanism, described by the reinjection probability density (RPD), which maps trajectories of the system from the chaotic region into the laminar one. The main results on chaotic intermittency strongly depend on the RPD. Recently a generalized power law

We present a simple model for describing the dynamics of the interaction between a homogeneous population or society, and the natural resources and reserves that the society needs for its survival. The model is formulated in terms of ordinary differential equations, which are subsequently discretised, the discrete system providing a natural integrator for the continuous one. An ultradiscrete, generalised

Simple Flows on Tori with Uncommon Chaos Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2020-04-10 Carles Simó
We consider a family of simple flows in tori that display chaotic behavior in a wide sense. But these flows do not have homoclinic nor heteroclinic orbits. They have only a fixed point which is of parabolic type. However, the dynamics returns infinitely many times near the fixed point due to quasi-periodicity. A preliminary example is given for maps introduced in a paper containing many examples of

This paper examines the motion of a balanced spherical robot under the action of periodically changing moments of inertia and gyrostatic momentum. The system of equations of motion is constructed using the model of the rolling of a rubber body (without slipping and twisting) and is nonconservative. It is shown that in the absence of gyrostatic momentum the equations of motion admit three invariant

The general Jacobi symplectic variables generated by a combinatorial algorithm from the full binary tree T(N) are used to formulate some nonheliocentric gravitational N-body problems in perturbation form. The resulting uncoupled term HU for (N - 1) independent Keplerian motions and the perturbation term UP are both explicitly dependent on the partial ordering induced by the tree T(N). This leads to

The well-known problem of the nonlinear stability of L4 and L5 in the circular spatial restricted three-body problem is revisited. Some new results in the light of the concept of Lie (formal) stability are presented. In particular, we provide stability and asymptotic estimates for three specific values of the mass ratio that remained uncovered. Moreover, in many cases we improve the estimates found

A (multidimensional) spherical periscope is a system of two ideal mirrors that reflect every ray of light emanating from some point back to this point. A spherical periscope defines a local diffeomorphism of the space of rays through this point, and we describe such diffeomorphisms. We also solve a similar problem for (multidimensional) reversed periscopes, the systems of two mirrors that reverse the

The formulation of the dynamics of N-bodies on the surface of an infinite cylinder is considered. We have chosen such a surface to be able to study the impact of the surface’s topology in the particle’s dynamics. For this purpose we need to make a choice of how to generalize the notion of gravitational potential on a general manifold. Following Boatto, Dritschel and Schaefer [5], we define a gravitational

We consider control-linear left-invariant time-optimal problems on step 2 Carnot groups with a strictly convex set of control parameters (in particular, sub-Finsler problems). We describe all Casimirs linear in momenta on the dual of the Lie algebra. In the case of rank 3 Lie groups we describe the symplectic foliation on the dual of the Lie algebra. On this basis we show that extremal controls are

Slow-fast dynamics and resonant phenomena can be found in a wide range of physical systems, including problems of celestial mechanics, fluid mechanics, and charged particle dynamics. Important resonant effects that control transport in the phase space in such systems are resonant scatterings and trappings. For systems with weak diffusive scatterings the transport properties can be described with the

Invariant surfaces play a crucial role in the dynamics of mechanical systems separating regions filled with chaotic behavior. Cases where such surfaces can be found are rare enough. Perhaps the most famous of these is the so-called Hess case in the mechanics of a heavy rigid body with a fixed point.We consider here the motion of a non-autonomous mechanical pendulum-like system with one degree of freedom

We review V. I. Arnold’s 1963 celebrated paper [1] Proof of A. N. Kolmogorov’s Theorem on the Conservation of Conditionally Periodic Motions with a Small Variation in the Hamiltonian, and prove that, optimising Arnold’s scheme, one can get “sharp” asymptotic quantitative conditions (as ε → 0, ε being the strength of the perturbation). All constants involved are explicitly computed.

We consider the roaming mechanism for chemical reactions under the nonholonomic constraint of constant kinetic energy. Our study is carried out in the context of the Hamiltonian isokinetic thermostat applied to Chesnavich’s model for an ion-molecule reaction.

We address the dynamics of near-integrable Hamiltonian systems with 3 degrees of freedom in extended vicinities of unperturbed resonant invariant Liouville tori. The main attention is paid to the case where the unperturbed torus satisfies two independent resonance conditions. In this case the average dynamics is 4-dimensional, reduced to a generalised motion under a conservative force on the 2-torus

We consider the 2D Schrödinger equation with variable potential in the narrow domain diffeomorphic to the wedge with the Dirichlet boundary condition. The corresponding classical problem is the billiard in this domain. In general, the corresponding dynamical system is not integrable.

We consider the possibility of using Dirac’s ideas of the deformation of Poisson brackets in nonholonomic mechanics. As an example, we analyze the composition of external forces that do no work and reaction forces of nonintegrable constraints in the model of a nonholonomic Chaplygin sphere on a plane. We prove that, when a solenoidal field is applied, the general mechanical energy, the invariant measure

Jumps of Energy Near a Homoclinic Set of a Slowly Time Dependent Hamiltonian System Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2019-12-10 Sergey V. Bolotin
We consider a Hamiltonian system depending on a parameter which slowly changes with rate ε ≪ 1. If trajectories of the frozen autonomous system are periodic, then the system has adiabatic invariant which changes much slower than energy. For a system with 1 degree of freedom and a figure 8 separatrix, Anatoly Neishtadt [18] showed that for trajectories crossing the separatrix, the adiabatic invariant

Twisted States in a System of Nonlinearly Coupled Phase Oscillators Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2019-12-10 Dmitry Bolotov; Maxim Bolotov; Lev Smirnov; Grigory Osipov; Arkady Pikovsky
We study the dynamics of the ring of identical phase oscillators with nonlinear nonlocal coupling. Using the Ott–Antonsen approach, the problem is formulated as a system of partial derivative equations for the local complex order parameter. In this framework, we investigate the existence and stability of twisted states. Both fully coherent and partially coherent stable twisted states were found (the

Integrability of the n -dimensional Axially Symmetric Chaplygin Sphere Regul. Chaot. Dyn. (IF 1.285) Pub Date : 2019-10-05 Luis C. García-Naranjo
We consider the n-dimensional Chaplygin sphere under the assumption that the mass distribution of the sphere is axisymmetric. We prove that, for initial conditions whose angular momentum about the contact point is vertical, the dynamics is quasi-periodic. For n = 4 we perform the reduction by the associated SO(3) symmetry and show that the reduced system is integrable by the Euler-Jacobi theorem.
