This paper deals with the derivation and analysis of a seventh-order generalization of the H\'enon-Heiles potential. The new potential has axial and reflection symmetries, and finite escape energy with three channels of escape. Based on…
In this paper we study the evolution of the wave function with the system size in a locally periodic structure. In particular we analyse the dependence of the wave function with the number of unit cells, which also reflects information…
We show that noise enhances the trapping of trajectories in scattering systems. In fully chaotic systems, the decay rate can decrease with increasing noise due to a generic mismatch between the noiseless escape rate and the value predicted…
We elucidate the escape properties of stars moving in the combined gravitational field of a binary system of two interacting dwarf spheroidal galaxies. A galaxy model of three degrees of freedom is adopted for describing the dynamical…
We study finite particle systems on the one-dimensional integer lattice, where each particle performs a continuous-time nearest-neighbour random walk, with jump rates intrinsic to each particle, subject to an exclusion interaction which…
Absorption yields an additional exponential decay in open quantum systems which can be described by shifting the (scattering) energy E along the imaginary axis, E+i\hbar/2\tau_{a}. Using the random matrix approach, we calculate analytically…
The escape dynamics of the stars in a barred galaxy composed of a spherically symmetric central nucleus, a bar, a flat thin disk and a dark matter halo component is investigated by using a realistic three degrees of freedom (3-dof)…
The main properties of a dynamical system can be analyzed by examining the corresponding basins, either attraction basins in dissipative systems or escape basins in open Hamiltonian systems and area-preserving maps. In the latter case, the…
We study the disruption process of hierarchical 3-body systems with bodies of comparable mass. Such systems have long survival times that vary by orders of magnitude depending on the initial conditions. By comparing with 3-body numerical…

We consider a general class of maps of the interval having Lyapunov subexponential instability $|\delta x_{t}|\sim|\delta x_{0}|\exp[\Lambda_{t}(x_{0})\zeta(t)]$, where $\zeta(t)$ grows sublinearly as $t\rightarrow\infty$. We outline here a…
For non-Gaussian stochastic dynamical systems, mean exit time and escape probability are important deterministic quantities, which can be obtained from integro-differential (nonlocal) equations. We develop an efficient and convergent…
The transit method is a promising means to detect exomoons, but few candidates have been identified. For planets close to their stars, the dynamical interaction between a satellite's orbit and the star must be important in their evolution.…
When dealing with an orbit determination problem, uncertainties naturally arise from intrinsic errors related to observation devices and approximation models. Following the least squares method and applying approximation schemes such as the…
We show that in the semiclassical limit, classically chaotic systems have universal spectral statistics. Concentrating on short-time statistics, we identify the pairs of classical periodic orbits determining the small-$\tau$ behavior of the…
This work provides a geometric approach to the study of bifurcation and rate induced transitions in a class of non-autonomous systems referred to herein as $\textit{asymptotically slow-fast systems}$, which may be viewed as 'intermediate'…
Lobe dynamics and escape from a potential well are general frameworks introduced to study phase space transport in chaotic dynamical systems. While the former approach studies how regions of phase space are transported by reducing the flow…
A recent proposal by Hallam et al. suggested using the chaotic properties of the semiclassical equations of motion, obtained by the time dependent variational principle (TDVP), as a characterization of quantum chaos. In this paper, we…
