It is known that the asymptotic invariant manifolds around an unstable periodic orbit in conservative systems can be represented by convergent series (Cherry 1926, Moser 1956, 1958, Giorgilli 2001). The unstable and stable manifolds…
In this article we present the influence of a Hamiltonian saddle-node bifurcation on the high-dimensional phase space structures that mediate reaction dynamics. To achieve this goal, we identify the phase space invariant manifolds using…
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…
Assuming it preserves an orientation of its stable bundle, any three-dimensional partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism can be used to construct a four-dimensional partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism which is dynamically incoherent. Under the…
For piecewise-linear maps the stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic periodic solutions are themselves piecewise-linear. Hence compact subsets of these manifolds can be represented using polytopes (i.e. polygons, in the case of…
Genetic systems with multiple loci can have complex dynamics. For example, mean fitness need not always increase and stable cycling is possible. Here, we study the dynamics of a genetic system inspired by the molecular biology of…
We investigate a model of high-dimensional dynamical variables with all-to-all interactions that are random and non-reciprocal. We characterize its phase diagram and show that the model can exhibit chaotic dynamics. We show that the…
A recent work by the authors on the existence of a periodic smooth finite-dimensional center manifold near a nonhyperbolic cycle in delay differential equations motivates the derivation of periodic normal forms. In this paper, we prove the…
Symbolic dynamics for homoclinic orbits in the two-dimensional symmetric map, $x_{n+1}+cx_{n}+x_{n-1}=3x_{n}^3$, is discussed. Above a critical $c^{\ast}$, the system exhibits a fully-developed horse-shoe so that its global behavior is…
Invariant manifolds play an important role in organizing global dynamical behaviors. For example, it is found that in multi-well conservative systems where the potential energy wells are connected by index-1 saddles, the motion between…
The dynamics of a general Bianchi IX model with three scale factors is examined. The matter content of the model is assumed to be comoving dust plus a positive cosmological constant. The model presents a critical point of…
In Hamiltonian systems subjected to periodic perturbations the stable and unstable manifolds of the unstable periodic orbits provide the dynamical "skeleton" that drives the mixing process and bounds the chaotic regions of the phase space.…
We consider families of planar polynomial vector fields of degree $n$ and study the cyclicity of a type of unbounded polycycle~$\Gamma$ called hemicycle. Compactified to the Poincar\'e disc,~$\Gamma$ consists of an affine straight line…
This paper presents a mechanism for the coexistence of hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic dynamics arising in a neighbourhood of a conservative Bykov cycle where trajectories turn in opposite directions near the two saddle-foci. We show that…
We study some global aspects of the bifurcation of an equivariant family of volume-contracting vector fields on the three-dimensional sphere. When part of the symmetry is broken, the vector fields exhibit Bykov cycles. Close to the…
We consider stable manifolds of a holomorphic diffeomorphism of a complex manifold. Using a conjugation of the dynamics to a (non-stationary) polynomial normal form, we show that typical stable manifolds are biholomorphic to complex…
We present an unfolding of the codimension-two scenario of the simultaneous occurrence of a discontinuous bifurcation and an Andronov-Hopf bifurcation in a piecewise-smooth, continuous system of autonomous ordinary differential equations in…
This paper studies the distribution of characteristic multipliers, the structure of submanifolds, the phase diagram, bifurcations and chaotic motions in the potential field of rotating highly irregular-shaped celestial bodies (hereafter…
We study bifurcations of homoclinic orbits to hyperbolic saddle equilibria in a class of four-dimensional systems which may be Hamiltonian or not. Only one parameter is enough to treat these types of bifurcations in Hamiltonian systems but…
Chaotic dynamics can be effectively studied by continuation from an anti-integrable limit. We use this limit to assign global symbols to orbits and use continuation from the limit to study their bifurcations. We find a bound on the…
