We propose a scheme for obtaining highly-sensitive oscillators in a coupled-resonator system with an exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) and a small instability. The oscillator with the exceptional degeneracy is realized by using two…
This paper investigates a class of non-autonomous highly oscillatory ordinary differential equations characterized by a linear component inversely proportional to a small parameter $\varepsilon$, with purely imaginary eigenvalues, and an…
Singularities arise in diverse disciplines and play a key role in both exploring fundamental laws of physics and making highly-sensitive sensors. Higher-order (>3) singularities, with further improved performance, however, usually require…
In this paper, we describe a novel type of relaxation oscillations occurring in a model of substrate-depletion oscillators. Using geometric singular perturbation theory, with blow-up as a key technical tool, we show that the oscillations in…
The one-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger equation with the singular harmonic oscillator is investigated. The Hermiticity of the operators related to observable physical quantities is used as a criterion to show that the attractive or repulsive…
Boundary equilibria bifurcation (BEB) arises in piecewise-smooth systems when an equilibrium collides with a discontinuity set under parameter variation. Singularly perturbed BEB refers to a bifurcation arising in singular perturbation…
In an overall framework of quantum mechanics of unitary systems a rather sophisticated new version of perturbation theory is developed. What is assumed is, firstly, that the perturbed Hamiltonians $H=H_0+\lambda V$ are non-Hermitian and lie…
The phase transitions and critical properties of two types of inhomogeneous systems are reviewed. In one case, the local critical behaviour results from the particular shape of the system. Here scale-invariant forms like wedges or cones are…
In nonlinear systems analysis, minor fractions of higher-order dynamics are often neglected for simplicity. Here, we show that machine epsilon levels of parasitic higher-order dynamics due to computer roundoff alone can cause divergence of…
We consider the failure of localized control in a nonlinear spatially extended system caused by extremely small amounts of noise. It is shown that this failure occurs as a result of a nonlinear instability. Nonlinear instabilities can occur…
We study a linear cocycle over irrational rotation $\sigma_{\omega}(x) = x + \omega$ of a circle $\mathbb{T}^{1}$. It is supposed the cocycle is generated by a $C^{1}$-map $A_{\varepsilon}: \mathbb{T}^{1} \to SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ which…
We discuss a model for phase transitions in which a double-well potential is singularly perturbed by possibly several terms involving different, arbitrarily high orders of derivation. We study by $\Gamma$-convergence the asymptotic…
A nonlinear two-dimensional system is studied by making use of both the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formalisms. The present model is obtained as a two-dimensional version of a one-dimensional oscillator previously studied at the…
Stationary whirling of slender and homogeneous (continuous) elastic shafts rotating around their axis, with pin-pin boundary condition at the ends, is revisited by considering the complete deformations in the cross section of the shaft. The…
Convergence of the solutions of nonhomogeneous linear singularly perturbed systems to that of the corresponding reduced singular system on the half-line [0, $\infty $) is considered. To include the situation on a neighborhood of initial…
We study a very general class of first-order linear hyperbolic systems that both become weakly hyperbolic and contain lower-order coefficients that blow up at a single time $t = 0$. In "critical" weakly hyperbolic settings, it is well-known…
Singularities in macroscopic systems at discontinuous phase transitions are replaced in finite systems by sharp but continuous changes. Both the energy differences between metastable and stable phases and the energy barriers separating…
We consider an autonomous system in R^n having a limit cycle x_0 of period T>0 which is nondegenerate in a suitable sense. We then consider the perturbed system obtained by adding to the autonomous system a T-periodic, not necessarily…
Li\'{e}nard equations, $\ddot{x}+\epsilon f(x)\dot{x}+x=0$, with $f(x)$ an even continuous function are considered. In the weakly nonlinear regime ($\epsilon\to 0$), the number and an order zero in $\epsilon$ approximation of the amplitude…
The planar visible fold is a simple singularity in piecewise smooth systems. In this paper, we consider singularly perturbed systems that limit to this piecewise smooth bifurcation as the singular perturbation parameter $\epsilon\rightarrow…
