The natural measure in a map with type-III intermittent chaos is used to define critical exponents for the average of a variable from a dynamical system near bifurcation. Numerical experiments were done with maps and verify the analytical…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition, of geometric type, for the uniform decay of energy of solutions of the linear system of magnetoelasticity in a bounded domain with smooth boundary. A Dirichlet-type boundary condition is…
Stabilization is still a somewhat controversial issue concerning its very existence and also the precise conditions for its occurrence. The key quantity to settle these questions is the ionization probability, for which hitherto no…
In a prior paper, the author described an instability in a nonlinear wavefunction model. Proposed in connection with the Measurement Problem, the model contained an external potential creating a ``classical'' instability. However, it is…
To improve our understanding of orbital instabilities in compact planetary systems, we compare suites of $N$-body simulations against numerical integrations of simplified dynamical models. We show that, surprisingly, dynamical models that…
We consider the nonlinear Dirac equation in 1+1 dimension with scalar-scalar self interaction $ \frac{g^2}{\kappa+1} ({\bar \Psi} \Psi)^{\kappa+1}$ and with mass $m$. Using the exact analytic form for rest frame solitary waves of the form…

Coupled Tchebyscheff maps have recently been introduced to explain parameters in the standard model of particle physics, using the stochastic quantisation of Parisi and Wu. This paper studies dynamical properties of these maps, finding…
We establish a criterion for the stability of planetary orbits in stellar binary systems by using Lyapunov exponents and power spectra for the special case of the circular restricted 3-body problem (CR3BP). The centerpiece of our method is…
The presence of the power-law memory is a significant feature of many natural (biological, physical, etc.) and social systems. Continuous and discrete fractional calculus is the instrument to describe the behavior of systems with the…
This study examines the dynamical properties of the Ikeda map, with a focus on bifurcations and chaotic behavior. We investigate how variations in dissipation parameters influence the system, uncovering shrimp-shaped structures that…
We introduce a generalized Ulam method and apply it to symplectic dynamical maps with a divided phase space. Our extensive numerical studies based on the Arnoldi method show that the Ulam approximant of the Perron-Frobenius operator on a…
We generate new hierarchy of many-parameter family of maps of the interval [0,1] with an invariant measure, by composition of the chaotic maps of reference [1]. Using the measure, we calculate Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, or equivalently…
The purpose of this paper is to prove that, for a large class of nonlinear evolution equations known as scalar viscous balance laws, the spectral (linear) instability condition of periodic traveling wave solutions implies their orbital…
Turbulence is a fundamental flow phenomenon, typically anisotropic at large scales and approximately isotropic at small scales. The classical Kolmogorov scaling laws (2/3, -5/3 and 4/5) have been well-established for turbulence without…
We test a crossing orbit stability criterion for eccentric planetary systems, based on Wisdom's criterion of first order mean motion resonance overlap (Wisdom, 1980). We show that this criterion fits the stability regions in real exoplanet…
Given a family of polynomial-like maps of large topological degree, we relate the presence of Misiurewicz parameters to a growth condition of the postcritical volume. This allows us to generalize to this setting the theory of stability and…
The dynamics of systems of two and three planets, initially placed on circular and nearly coplanar orbits, is explored in the proximity of their stability limit. The evolution of a large number of systems is numerically computed and their…
I find conditions under which the "Weak Energy Principle" of Katz, Inagaki and Yahalom (1993) gives necessary and sufficient conditions. My conclusion is that, necessary and sufficient conditions of stability are obtained when we have only…
Celestial bodies approximated with rigid triaxial ellipsoids in a two-body system can rotate chaotically due to the time-varying gravitational torque from the central mass. At small orbital eccentricity values, rotation is short-term…
