We show that work done by the non conservative forces along a stable limit cycle attractor of a dissipative dynamical system is always equal to zero. Thus, mechanical energy is preserved on average along periodic orbits. This balance…

Nonlinear isolated and coupled oscillators are extensively studied as prototypical nonlinear dynamics models. Much attention has been devoted to oscillator synchronization or the lack thereof. Here, we study the synchronization and…
We investigate the resonant states for the parabolic potential barrier known also as inverted or reversed oscillator. They correspond to the poles of meromorphic continuation of the resolvent operator to the complex energy plane. As a…
The effects of a distributed 'weak generic kernel' delay on cyclically coupled limit cycle and chaotic oscillators are considered. For coupled Van der Pol oscillators (and in fact, other oscillators as well) the delay can produce…
Oscillatory systems with time-delayed pulsatile feedback appear in various applied and theoretical research areas, and received a growing interest in the last years. For such systems, we report a remarkable scenario of destabilization of a…
