We study periodic solutions of a one-degree of freedom micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) with a parallel-plate capacitor under $T$--periodic electrostatic forcing. We obtain analytical results concerning the existence of $T-$ periodic…

We investigate the local and global dynamics of two 1-Dimensional (1D) Hamiltonian lattices whose inter-particle forces are derived from non-analytic potentials. In particular, we study the dynamics of a model governed by a "graphene-type"…

We consider the integrable (zero perturbation) two--dimensional standard map, in light of current developments on ergodic sums of irrational rotations, and recent numerical evidence that it might possess non-trivial q-Gaussian statistics.…

Arrays of coupled semiconductor lasers are systems possessing radically complex dynamics that makes them useful for numerous applications in beam forming and beam shaping. In this work, we investigate the spatial controllability of…

We perform a detailed study of the dynamics of a nonlinear, one-dimensional oscillator driven by a periodic force under hysteretic damping, whose linear version was originally proposed and analyzed by Bishop in [1]. We first add a small…

A generic photonic coupler with active and lossy parts, gain saturation and asymmetric characteristics is examined. Saturable activity is shown to be able to enhance the overall stability of the steady states, prevent evolution to…

We consider the properties of the small-signal modulation response of symmetry-breaking phase-locked states of twin coupled semiconductor lasers. The extended stability and the varying asymmetry of these modes allows for the introduction of…
