In 1908 Henri Poincar\'e gave a series of 'forgotten lectures' on wireless telegraphy in which he demonstrated the existence of a stable limit cycle in the phase plane. In 1929 Aleksandr Andronov published a short note in the Comptes Rendus…
The concept of "limit cycle" was introduced by Henri Poincar\'e in his second memoir "On curves defined by a differential equation" in 1882. From the point of view of physics, a stable limit cycle (or attractive) is the representation of…
In 1893, the "physicist-engineer" Andr\'e Blondel invents the oscilloscope for displaying voltage and current variables. With this powerful means of investigation, he first studies the phenomena of the arc then used for the coastal and…
Henri Poincare Saint Louis lecture, delivered on 24 September 1904 at the International Congress of Arts and Science, occupies a distinctive place in the pre history of twentieth century theoretical physics. In this text, Poincare…
From 28 to 30 January 1933 was held at the Institut Henri Poincar\'{e} (Paris) the first International Conference of Nonlinear Oscillations organized at the initiative of the Dutch physicist Balthazar Van der Pol and of the Russian…
On January 4, 2012, the centenary of Henri Poincar\'e's death, a colloquium was held in Nancy, France the subject of which was "Vers une biographie d'Henri Poincar\'e". Scholars discussed several approaches for writing a biography of…
This paper reviews a paper from 1906 by J. Henri Poincar\'e on statistical mechanics with a background in his earlier work and notable connections to J. Willard Gibbs. Poincar\'e's paper presents important ideas that are still relevant for…
Before 1905, Poincar\'e stressed the importance of the method of clocks and their synchronization, but unlike Einstein, magnet and conductor (asymmetries in Lorentz's theory regarding the explanation of Faraday's induction) or chasing a…
Dynamics of a randomly-perturbed quantum system with 3/2-degrees of freedom is considered. We introduce a transfer operator being the quantum analogue of the specific Poincar\'e map. This map was proposed in (Makarov, Uleysky, J. Phys. A:…
On the basis of a mathematical model, we continue the study of the metabolic Krebs cycle (or the tricarboxilic acid cycle). For the first time, we consider its consistency and stability, which depend on the dissipation of a transmembrane…
On April 30th 2008, the journal Nature announced that the missing circuit element, postulated thirty-seven years before by Professor Leon O. Chua has been found. Thus, after the capacitor, the resistor and the inductor, the existence of a…
This thesis considers three models which describe a multihop ad-hoc telecommunication system. These systems consist of users sending messages, which can jump to other users to reach the target user. The first two models have already been…
We study two models of connected pendulum clocks synchronizing their oscillations, a phenomenon originally observed by Huygens. The oscillation angles are assumed to be small so that the pendulums are modeled by harmonic oscillators, clock…
This is the material for two lectures given at Ecole Polytechnique in May 2011 for the math teachers of "classes pr\'eparatoires"(parallel to the undergraduate classes in universities). The introduction is a personal overview on Fourier…
A system of autonomous differential equations with a stable limit cycle and perturbed by small white noise is analyzed in this work. In the vicinity of the limit cycle of the unperturbed deterministic system, we define, construct, and…
We consider the problem of stabilizing an undisturbed, scalar, linear system over a "timing" channel, namely a channel where information is communicated through the timestamps of the transmitted symbols. Each symbol transmitted from a…
Hundred twenty years after the fundamental work of Poincar\'e, the statistics of Poincar\'e recurrences in Hamiltonian systems with a few degrees of freedom is studied by numerical simulations. The obtained results show that in a regime,…
In this work, our primary goal is to study the Poincare map and the existence of limit cycles for Welander's model that describes ocean convection. Welander developed two versions of his model, one with a smooth transition between…
Wireless communication technology has progressed dramatically over the past 25 years, in terms of societal adoption as well as technical sophistication. In 1998, mobile phones were still in the process of becoming compact and affordable…
Let $P_e\in C^0(R^n,R^n)$ be the Poincare-Andronov operator over period $T>0$ of the $T$-periodically perturbed autonomous system $x'=f(x)+e g(t,x,e),$ where $e>0$ is small. Assuming that for $e=0$ this system has a $T$-periodic limit cycle…
