In this paper, we study infinite dimensional holomorphic vector fields on sequence spaces, having a fixed point at $0$. Under suitable hypotheses we prove the existence of analytic invariant submanifolds passing through the fixed point. The…
We define a family B(t) of compact subsets of the unit interval which generalizes the sets of numbers whose continued fraction expansion has bounded digits. We study how the set B(t) changes as one moves the parameter t, and see that the…
In topology, one averages over local geometrical details to reveal robust global features. This approach proves crucial for understanding quantized bulk transport and exotic boundary effects of linear wave propagation in (meta-)materials.…
Oscillatory dynamics are ubiquitous in biological networks. Possible sources of oscillations are well understood in low-dimensional systems, but have not been fully explored in high-dimensional networks. Here we study large networks…
Here we shall consider the topology and dynamics associated to a wide class of matchbox manifolds, including a large selection of tiling spaces and all minimal matchbox manifolds of dimension one. For such spaces we introduce topological…
We introduce the notion of equilibrium index for statically isolated invariant sets of the system $u_t+A u=f_\lambda(u)$ on Banach space $X$ (where $A$ is a sectorial operator with compact resolvent) and present a reduction theorem and an…
Invariant manifolds facilitate the understanding of nonlinear stochastic dynamics. When an invariant manifold is represented approximately by a graph for example, the whole stochastic dynamical system may be reduced or restricted to this…
Aeroelastic flutter represents a critical nonlinear instability arising from the coupling between structural elasticity and unsteady aerodynamics. In deterministic settings, flutter onset is associated with bifurcations of invariant sets…
We investigate perturbed monomial dynamical system over $\mathbb{F}_p$ given by iterations of $x\mapsto x^n+c\bmod{p}$, where $c\in \mathbb{F}_p$. Instead of study the systems one at a time we study all of them at the same time. The complex…
We propose a notion of critical set for two-dimensional surface diffeomorphisms as an intrinsically defined object designed to play a role analogous to that of critical points in one-dimensional dynamics.
The limiting slow dynamics of slow-fast, piecewise-linear, continuous systems of ODEs occurs on critical manifolds that are piecewise-linear. At points of non-differentiability, such manifolds are not normally hyperbolic and so the…
In this paper, we consider chaotic dynamics and variational structures of area-preserving maps. There is a lot of study on dynamics of their maps and the works of Poincare and Birkhoff are well-known. To consider variational structures of…
Bifurcations can cause dynamical systems with slowly varying parameters to transition to far-away attractors. The terms ``critical transition'' or ``tipping point'' have been used to describe this situation. Critical transitions have been…
Inspecting a $p$-dimensional parameter space by means of $(p-1)$-dimensional slices, changes can be detected that are only determined by the geometry of the manifolds that compose the bifurcation set. We refer to these changes as geometric…
We consider the evolution of the unstable periodic orbit structure of coupled chaotic systems. This involves the creation of a complicated set outside of the synchronization manifold (the emergent set). We quantitatively identify a critical…
The set of points that escape to infinity under iteration of a cosine map, that is, of the form $C_{a,b} \colon z \mapsto ae^z+be^{-z}$ for $a,b\in \mathbb{C}^\ast$, consists of a collection of injective curves, called dynamic rays. If a…
The Kowalevski gyrostat in two constant fields is known as the unique example of an integrable Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom not reducible to a family of systems in fewer dimensions and still having the clear mechanical…
We study a dynamical counterpart of bifurcation to invariant torus for a system of interconnected fast phase variables and slowly varying parameters. We show that in such a system, due to the slow evolution of parameters, there arise…
We define a simpler notion of symmetric topological complexity more ad hoc to the motion planning problem which was the original motivation for the definition of topological complexity. This is a homotopy invariant that we call…
We present a framework for analyzing collections of interacting hysterons through the lens of catastrophe theory. By modeling hysteron dynamics as a gradient system, we show how to construct hysteron transition graphs by characterizing the…
