We reveal the escape mechanism of orbits in a Hamiltonian system with four exit channels composed of two-dimensional perturbed harmonic oscillators. We distinguish between trapped chaotic, non-escaping regular and escaping orbits by…

Recently a non-empirical stochastic walker algorithm has been developed to search for the minimum-energy escape paths (MEP) from the minima of the potential surface [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 87, 063801 (2018)]. This algorithm is novel in that it…

In four-dimensional symplectic maps complex instability of periodic orbits is possible, which cannot occur in the two-dimensional case. We investigate the transition from stable to complex unstable dynamics of a fixed point under parameter…

Droplets moving in a microfluidic loop device exhibit both periodic and chaotic behaviors based on the inlet droplet spacing. We propose that the periodic behavior is an outcome of a dispersed phase conservation principle. This conservation…
