Time-decaying perturbations of nonlinear oscillatory systems in the plane are considered. It is assumed that the unperturbed systems are non-isochronous and the perturbations oscillate with an asymptotically constant frequency. Resonance…

We study a disordered vibrational model system, where the spring constants k are chosen from a distribution P(k) ~ 1/k above a cut-off value k_min > 0. We can motivate this distribution by the presence of free volume in glassy materials. We…

Arbitrarily long lived modes, called quasi-resonances, are known to exist in the spectrum of massive fields for a number of black-hole backgrounds at some discrete values of mass of the field. Here we show that these modes also exist in the…

Nonlinear dynamical systems possessing reflection symmetry have an invariant subspace in the phase space. The dynamics within the invariant subspace can be random or chaotic. As a system parameter changes, the motion transverse to the…
Non-linear parametric resonances occur frequently in nature. Here we summarize how they can be studied by means of perturbative methods. We show in particular how resonances can affect the motion of a test particle orbiting in the vicinity…

Lattice resonances are collective optical modes supported by periodic arrays of scatterers, arising from their coherent interaction enabled by the underlying periodicity. Owing to their collective nature, these resonances produce optical…
