The dynamics of a 1-parameter family of cluster maps $\varphi_r$ associated to mutation-periodic quivers in dimension 4, is studied in detail. The use of presymplectic reduction leads to a globally periodic symplectic map, and this enables…

Although the discovery of the chaotic motion of the inner planets in the solar system dates back to more than thirty years ago, the secular chaos of their orbits still dares more analytical analyses. Apart from the high-dimensional…

We show the existence of Shilnikov-type dynamics and bifurcation behaviour in general discrete three-dimensional piecewise smooth maps and give analytical results for the occurence of such dynamical behaviour. Our main example in fact shows…

The Kepler map was derived by Petrosky (1986) and Chirikov and Vecheslavov (1986) as a tool for description of the long-term chaotic orbital behaviour of the comets in nearly parabolic motion. It is a two-dimensional area-preserving map,…

In this article, we have studied a 1D map, which is formed by combining the two well-known maps i.e. the tent and the logistic maps in the unit interval i.e. [0, 1]. The proposed map can behave as the piecewise smooth or non-smooth maps…

This work develops a symplectic framework for quantum computing to be applied to classical Hamiltonian systems, exploiting the intrinsic geometric compatibility between unitary quantum evolution and symplectic phase-space dynamics in a…

Comets are the most pristine planetesimals left from the formation of the Solar System. They carry unique information on the materials and the physical processes which led to the presence of planets and moons. Many important questions about…
