We prove that spiral sinks (stable foci of vector fields) can be transformed into strange attractors exhibiting sustained, observable chaos if subjected to periodic pulsatile forcing. We show that this phenomenon occurs in the context of…
We study the dynamics of the periodically-forced May-Leonard system. We extend previous results on the field and we identify different dynamical regimes depending on the strength of attraction $\delta$ of the network and the frequency…
We discuss recent work with E.Floratos (JHEP 1004:036,2010) on Nambu Dynamics of Intersecting Surfaces underlying Dissipative Chaos in $R^{3}$. We present our argument for the well studied Lorenz and R\"{o}ssler strange attractors. We…
We present a mechanism for the emergence of strange attractors (observable chaos) in a two-parameter periodically-perturbed family of differential equations on the plane. The two parameters are independent and act on different ways in the…
In this paper we study homoclinic tangles formed by transversal intersections of the stable and the unstable manifold of a {\it non-resonant, dissipative} homoclinic saddle point in periodically perturbed second order equations. We prove…
We analyze a multiparameter periodically-forced dynamical system inspired in the SIR endemic model. We show that the condition on the \emph{basic reproduction number} $\mathcal{R}_0 < 1$ is not sufficient to guarantee the elimination of…
In this article, we study a two-parameter family of rotating rank-one maps defined on $\textbf{S}^1\times [1, 1+b]\times \textbf{S}^1$, with $b\gtrsim 0$, whose dynamics is characterised by a coupling of a family of planar maps exhibiting…
We extend the framework of Nambu-Hamiltonian Mechanics to include dissipation in $R^{3}$ phase space. We demonstrate that it accommodates the phase space dynamics of low dimensional dissipative systems such as the much studied Lorenz and…
We consider a class of differential equations, $\ddot x + \gamma \dot x + g(x) = f(\omega t)$, with $\omega \in {\bf R}^{d}$, describing one-dimensional dissipative systems subject to a periodic or quasi-periodic (Diophantine) forcing. We…
In this tutorial, we discuss self-excited and hidden attractors for systems of differential equations. We considered the example of a Lorenz-like system derived from the well-known Glukhovsky--Dolghansky and Rabinovich systems, to…
From a theory developed by C. Mehl, et al., a theory of the rank one perturbation of Hamiltonian systems with periodic coefficients is proposed. It is showed that the rank one perturbation of the fundamental solution of Hamiltonian system…
We study the topological dynamics of H\'enon maps. For a parameter set generalizing the Benedicks-Carleson parameters (the Wang-Young parameter set) we obtain the following: The pruning front conjecture (due to Cvitanovi\'c); A kneading…
We show that existence of positive Lyapounov exponents and/or SRB measures are undecidable (in the algorithmic sense) properties within some parametrized families of interesting dynamical systems: quadratic family and H\'enon maps. Because…
A theory of rank $k\ge 2$ perturbation of symplectic matrices and Hamiltonian systems with periodic coefficients using a base of isotropic subspaces, is presented. After showing that the fundamental matrix ${\displaystyle…
The attractors of a dynamical system govern its typical long-term behaviour. The presence of many attractors is significant as it means the behaviour is heavily dependent on the initial conditions. To understand how large numbers of…
The asymmetrically forced, damped Duffing oscillator is introduced as a prototype model for analyzing the homoclinic tangle of symmetric dissipative systems with \textit{symmetry breaking} disturbances. Even a slight fixed asymmetry in the…
This survey is a presentation of the arguments in the proof that Henon-like maps f_a(x,y)=(1-a x^2,0) + R(a,x,y) with |R(a,x,y)|< b have a "strange attractor", with positive Lebesgue probability in the parameter "a", if the perturbation…
Homoclinic snaking is a widespread phenomenon observed in many pattern-forming systems. Demonstrating its occurrence in non-perturbative regimes has proven difficult, although a forcing theory has been developed based on the identification…
As a result of resonance overlap, planetary systems can exhibit chaotic motion. Planetary chaos has been studied extensively in the Hamiltonian framework, however, the presence of chaotic motion in systems where dissipative effects are…
We give a comprehensive study of strong uniform attractors of non-autonomous dissipative systems for the case where the external forces are not translation compact. We introduce several new classes of external forces which are not…
