We study the periodic solutions of the delay equation $\dot{x}(t)=f(x(t),x(t-1))$, where $f$ scalar is strictly monotone in the delayed component and has even-odd symmetry. We completely describe the global bifurcation structure of periodic…
In this paper, we develop the notions of weak/directional monotonicity (developed by Sesma-Sara et al. in terms of the \emph{Kulisch-Miranker order}) and the notion of $ G $-monotonicity (introduced by Santiago et al. for $ [0,\!1]$) for…
We describe a time-dependent functional involving the relative entropy and the $\dot{H}^1$ seminorm, which decreases along solutions to the spatially homogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb potential. The study of this monotone functionial…
The classical criterion for compactness in Banach spaces of functions can be reformulated into a simple tightness condition in the time-frequency domain. This description preserves more explicitly the symmetry between time and frequency…
We numerically study in the one-dimensional case the validity of the functional calculated by Graham and coworkers as a Lyapunov potential for the Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. In non-chaotic regions of parameter space the functional…
Recently A.R.Chouikha gave a new characterization of isochronicity of center at the origin for the equation $x"+g(x)=0$, where $g$ is a real smooth function defined in some neighborhood of $0 \in \R$. We describe another proof of his…
For an attracting periodic orbit (limit cycle) of a deterministic dynamical system, one defines the isochron for each point of the orbit as the cross-section with fixed return time under the flow. Equivalently, isochrons can be…
We review the current status of one dimensional periodic potentials and also present several new results. It is shown that using the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, one can considerably enlarge the limited class of…
We study the problem of subharmonic bifurcations for analytic systems in the plane with perturbations depending periodically on time, in the case in which we only assume that the subharmonic Melnikov function has at least one zero. If the…
In this work the existence of periodic solutions is studied for the Hamiltonian functions (Formula presented.) where the first term consist of a harmonic oscillator and the second term are homogeneous polynomials of degree 5 defined by two…
We study the transition to the continuum of an initially bound quantum particle in $\RR^d$, $d=1,2,3$, subjected, for $t\ge 0$, to a time periodic forcing of arbitrary magnitude. The analysis is carried out for compactly supported…
In this paper we provide an axiomatic characterization of the idempotent discrete uninorms by means of three conditions only: conservativeness, symmetry, and nondecreasing monotonicity. We also provide an alternative characterization…
Consider a difference equation which takes the k-th largest output of m functions of the previous m terms of the sequence. If the functions are also allowed to change periodically as the difference equation evolves this is analogous to a…
In this paper we provide conditions to ensure the existence, for $e>0$ sufficiently small, of periodic solutions of given period $T>0$ in a prescribed domain $U$ for a class of singularly perturbed first order differential systems. Here…
We present a new method of analysis of measure-preserving dynamical systems, based on frequency analysis and ergodic theory, which extends our earlier work [1]. Our method employs the novel concept of harmonic time average [2], and is…
Using the electrostatic potential $u$ due to a uniformly charged body $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$, we introduce a family of monotone quantities associated with the level set flow of $u$. The derived monotonicity formulas are…
The probabilistic analysis of condition numbers has traditionally been approached from different angles; one is based on Smale's program in complexity theory and features integral geometry, while the other is motivated by geometric…
We study strongly isochronous Hamiltonians that generate periodic time evolution with the same basic period for a dense set of initial values. We explain that all such Hamiltonians are maximally superintegrable, and show that if the system…
In this paper, we discuss a systematic and self consistent procedure to factorize a rather general class of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), namely coupled quadratic and mixed Li\'enard type equations, which include…
In this paper we propose some continuation theorems for the periodic problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \, x_{i}' = g_{i}(t,x_{i+1}), &i=1,\ldots,n-1, \\ \, x_{n}' = h(t,x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}), \\ \, x_{i}(0)=x_{i}(T), &i=1,\ldots,n,…
