Simulations of chaotic systems can only produce high-fidelity trajectories if the initial and boundary conditions are well specified. When these conditions are unknown but measurements are available, variational state estimation can…
For a given a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold, whose stable and unstable manifolds intersect transversally, we consider several tools and techniques to detect trajectories with prescribed itineraries: the scattering map, the…
In this work, we uncover a layered organization of the state space in the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with periodic boundary conditions, in which multiple invariant sets coexist at fixed system parameters and are selected by the initial…
In this paper we study high order expansions of chart maps for local finite dimensional unstable manifolds of hyperbolic equilibrium solutions of scalar parabolic partial differential equations. Our approach is based on studying an…
In Hamiltonian systems subjected to periodic perturbations the stable and unstable manifolds of the unstable periodic orbits provide the dynamical "skeleton" that drives the mixing process and bounds the chaotic regions of the phase space.…
We provide numerical evidence that a finite-dimensional inertial manifold on which the dynamics of a chaotic dissipative dynamical system lives can be constructed solely from the knowledge of a set of unstable periodic orbits. In…
Systems such as fluid flows in channels and pipes or the complex Ginzburg-Landau system, defined over periodic domains, exhibit both continuous symmetries, translational and rotational, as well as discrete symmetries under spatial…
We undertake a systematic exploration of recurrent patterns in a 1-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky system. For a small, but already rather turbulent system, the long-time dynamics takes place on a low-dimensional invariant manifold. A set…
We introduce a class of orbits which may have $0$ Lyapunov exponents, but still demonstrate some sensitivity to initial conditions. We construct a countable Markov partition with a finite-to-one almost everywhere induced coding, and which…
A variational principle for determining unstable periodic orbits of flows as well as unstable spatio-temporally periodic solutions of extended systems is proposed and implemented. An initial loop approximating a periodic solution is evolved…
We present numerical results and computer assisted proofs of the existence of periodic orbits for the Kuramoto-Sivashinky equation. These two results are based on writing down the existence of periodic orbits as zeros of functionals. This…
We study the stability and dynamics of traveling-front solutions of a modified Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation arising in the modeling of nanoscale ripple patterns that form when a nominally flat solid surface is bombarded with a broad ion…
Metric entropies along a hierarchy of unstable foliations are investigated for $C^1$ diffeomorphisms with dominated splitting. The analogues of Ruelle's inequality and Pesin's formula, which relate the metric entropy and Lyapunov exponents…
This paper presents the first optimal-rate $p$-th order methods with $p\geq 1$ for finding first and second-order stationary points of non-convex smooth objective functions over Riemannian manifolds. In contrast to the geodesically convex…
We present a new topological method for the study of the dynamics of dissipative PDE's. The method is based on the concept of the self-consistent apriori bounds, which allows to justify rigorously the Galerkin projection. As a result we…
Modern dynamical systems theory has previously had little to say about finite difference and finite element approximations of partial differential equations (Archilla, 1998). However, recently I have shown one way that centre manifold…
A noisy stabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation is analyzed by stochastic decomposition. For values of control parameter for which periodic stationary patterns exist, the dynamics can be decomposed into diffusive and transverse parts which…
We present and implement an algorithm for computing the invariant circle and the corresponding stable manifolds for 2-dimensional maps. The algorithm is based on the parameterization method, and it is backed up by an a-posteriori theorem…
