Isochronous islands in the two-harmonic standard map

General Physics 2025-04-30 v1

Abstract

Isochronous islands are regular solutions related to different chains of elliptic points but with the same winding number. These isochronous islands emerge in phase space as a response to multiple resonant perturbations and can be simulated using a simple discrete model called the two-harmonic standard map. We observed three types of isochronous transitions, which can be formed through saddle-node and pitchfork bifurcations.
