We define a class of quantum systems called regular quantum graphs. Although their dynamics is chaotic in the classical limit with positive topological entropy, the spectrum of regular quantum graphs is explicitly computable analytically…

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…

The motion of three interacting point vortices in the plane can be thought of as the motion of three geometrical points endowed with a dynamics. This motion can therefore be re-formulated in terms of dynamically evolving geometric…

We investigate the motion of a massless body interacting with the Maxwell relative equilibrium, which consists of n bodies of equal mass at the vertices of a regular polygon that rotates around a central mass. The massless body has three…

We report on figure-eight choreographic solutions to a system of three identical particles interacting through a potential of Lennard-Jones type, $1/r^{12}-1/r^6$ where $r$ is a distance between the particles. By numerical search, we found…

We give a method to determine relative periodic orbits in point vortex systems: it consists mainly into perform a symplectic reduction on a fixed point submanifold in order to obtain a two-dimensional reduced phase space. The method is…

In this short exposition, we describe equilibria and periodic orbits in terms of the flow map, {\Phi}, and discuss the essentials of the Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov (JFNK) method that can be used to find them. This method requires little…
