In this paper, we construct a homeomorphism on the unit closed disk to show that an invertible mapping on a compact metric space is Li-Yorke chaotic does not imply its inverse being Li-Yorke chaotic.

We provide a classification of minimal sets of homeomorphisms of the two-torus, in terms of the structure of their complement. We show that this structure is exactly one of the following types: (1) a disjoint union of topological disks, or…

We give a hierarchy of many-parameter families of maps of the interval [0,1] with an invariant measure and using the measure, we calculate Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy of these maps analytically. In contrary to the usual one-dimensional maps…

For any $C^1$ diffeomorphism on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold that admits an ergodic measure with positive entropy, a lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension for the local stable and unstable sets is given in terms of the…

Chaotic dynamics can be quite heterogeneous in the sense that in some regions the dynamics are unstable in more directions than in other regions. When trajectories wander between these regions, the dynamics is complicated. We say a chaotic…

We study the topology of orbits of dynamical systems defined by finite-dimensional representations of nilpotent Lie groups. Thus, the following dichotomy is established: either the interior of the set of regular points is dense in the…

Considering the fluctuations of spectral functions, we prove that if chaotic systems fulfill the Bohigas-Gianonni-Schmit (BGS) conjecture, which relates their spectral statistics to that of random matrices, therefore by virtue of Gutzwiller…

Despite more and more observational data, stellar acoustic oscillation modes are not well understood as soon as rotation cannot be treated perturbatively. In a way similar to semiclassical theory in quantum physics, we use acoustic ray…

For the family of Lozi maps $L_{a,b}$, we consider parameter pairs for which the f\mbox{}ixed point $X$ has no homoclinic points and the period-two orbit $\{P,P'\}$ is attracting. For such parameters, let $\ell$ be the set of accumulation…

We study the asymptotic stability properties of nonlinear switched systems under the assumption of the existence of a common weak Lyapunov function. We consider the class of nonchaotic inputs, which generalize the different notions of…

We have found various families of two-dimensional spatiotemporal solitons in quadratically nonlinear waveguide arrays. The families of unstaggered odd, even and twisted stationary solutions are thoroughly characterized and their stability…

Instabilities in 1D spatially extended systems are studied with the aid of both temporal and spatial Lyapunov exponents. A suitable representation of the spectra allows a compact description of all the possible disturbances in tangent…

Numerical integrations of the Solar System reveal a remarkable stability of the orbits of the inner planets over billions of years, in spite of their chaotic variations characterized by a Lyapunov time of only 5 million years and the lack…

We investigate the geodesic structure of realistic static and spherically symmetric spacetimes embedding neutron stars in metric $f(R)$ gravity, focusing on the quadratic Starobinsky model $f(R)=aR^2$ with $a<0$. Neutron-star solutions are…

We study proximal random dynamical systems of homeomorphisms of the circle without a common fixed point. We prove the existence of two random points that govern the behavior of the forward and backward orbits of the system. Assuming the…

Adopting the measure of quantum complexity, the quantum logical depth, previously introduced by the author the automorphisms of the noncommutative torus are classified among the (chaotic and non-chaotic) shallow ones and the non-chaotic…

We present here a new method which applies well ordered symbolic dynamics to find unstable periodic and non-periodic orbits in a chaotic system. The method is simple and efficient and has been successfully applied to a number of different…

In this work the Melnikov method for perturbed Hamiltonian wave equations is considered in order to determine possible chaotic behaviour in the systems. The backbone of the analysis is the multi-symplectic formulation of the unperturbed PDE…

Consider a symplectic surface $\Sigma$ with two properly embedded Hamiltonian isotopic curves $L$ and $L'$. Suppose $g \in Ham (\Sigma)$ is a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism which sends $L$ to $L'$. Which dynamical properties of $g$ can be…

Chaotic instability in many-body systems is commonly quantified by the largest Lyapunov exponent, yet general constraints on its magnitude in classical interacting systems remain poorly understood. Here we establish explicit,…
