This paper examines numerically the complex classical trajectories of the kicked rotor and the double pendulum. Both of these systems exhibit a transition to chaos, and this feature is studied in complex phase space. Additionally, it is…
We examine the dynamics of a particle in a general rotating quadratic potential, not necessarily stable or isotropic, using a general complex mode formalism. The problem is equivalent to that of a charged particle in a quadratic potential…
Since the discovery of the figure-8 orbit for the three-body problem [Moore 1993] a large number of periodic orbits of the n-body problem with equal masses and beautiful symmetries have been discovered. However, most of those that have…
We consider the Lorenz equations, a system of three dimensional ordinary differential equations modeling atmospheric convection. These equations are chaotic and hard to study even numerically, and so a simpler "geometric model" has been…
In various fields of natural science, the chaotic systems of differential equations are considered more than 50 years. The correct prediction of the behaviour of solutions of dynamical model equations is important in understanding of…
The efficient detection of chaotic behavior in orbits of a complex dynamical system is an active domain of research. Several indicators have been proposed in the past, and new ones have recently been developed in view of improving the…
Complications arising from the non-compact nature of the phase space of N-body systems prevent any asymptotic characterization of chaotic behaviour (since no equilibrium final states can exist). This leads us to revisit some of the old…
We study systems with periodically oscillating parameters that can give way to complex periodic or non periodic orbits. Performing the long time limit, we can define ergodic averages such as Lyapunov exponents, where a negative maximal…
Here we present an initial look at the dynamics and stability of 178 multiplanetary systems which are already confirmed and listed in the NASA Exoplanet Archive. To distinguish between the chaotic and regular nature of a system, the value…
While there have been many studies examining the stability of hierarchical triple systems, the meaning of ``stability'' is somewhat vague and has been interpreted differently in previous literatures. The present paper focuses on ``Lagrange…
Linear time-periodic (LTP) dynamical systems frequently appear in the modeling of phenomena related to fluid dynamics, electronic circuits, and structural mechanics via linearization centered around known periodic orbits of nonlinear…
Celestial bodies approximated with rigid triaxial ellipsoids in a two-body system can rotate chaotically due to the time-varying gravitational torque from the central mass. At small orbital eccentricity values, rotation is short-term…
By means of a novel variational approach we study ergodic properties of a model of a multi lane traffic flow, considered as a (deterministic) wandering of interacting particles on an infinite lattice. For a class of initial configurations…

We consider a system of nonlocal equations driven by a perturbed periodic potential. We construct multibump solutions that connect one integer point to another one in a prescribed way. In particular, heteroclinc, homoclinic and chaotic…
We study the three-timescale dynamics of a model that describes the El Ni\~no Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, which was proposed in [A. Roberts, J. Guckenheimer, E. Widiasih, A. Timmermann, and C. K. Jones, Mixed-mode oscillations…
Currently, the fifteen new periodic solutions of Newtonian three-body problem with equal mass were reported by \v{S}uvakov and Dmitra\v{s}inovi\'{c} (PRL, 2013) [1]. However, using a reliable numerical approach (namely the Clean Numerical…

Pluto and Charon are a dwarf binary system with a high mass ratio $\mu$, preventing Trojan companions. This instability creates ideal intersections for low-energy pathways that spacecraft can traverse and serves as an important test case…
