In this Letter we show that a bifurcation cascade and fully sustained turbulence can share the phase space of a fluid flow system, resulting in the presence of competing stable attractors. We analyse the toroidal pipe flow, which undergoes…
In this work we consider a general class of $2$-dimensional hybrid systems. Assuming that the system possesses an attracting equilibrium point, we show that, when periodically driven with a square-wave pulse, the system possesses a periodic…
The effect of decaying oscillatory perturbations on autonomous Hamiltonian systems in the plane with a stable equilibrium is investigated. It is assumed that perturbations preserve the equilibrium and satisfy a resonance condition. The…
In topology, one averages over local geometrical details to reveal robust global features. This approach proves crucial for understanding quantized bulk transport and exotic boundary effects of linear wave propagation in (meta-)materials.…
We discuss control of low-dimensional systems which, when uncontrolled, are integrable in the Hamiltonian sense. The controller targets an exact solution of the system in a region where the uncontrolled dynamics has invariant tori. Both…
We obtain a local stable manifold theorem for perturbations of nonautonomous linear difference equations possessing a very general type of nonuniform dichotomy, possibly with different growth rates in the uniform and nonuniform parts. We…
The concept of spectrum for a class of non-linear wave equations is studied. Instead of looking for stability, the key to the spectral structure is found in the instability phenomena (bifurcations). This aspect is best seen in the…
In many non-linear systems, such as plasma oscillation, boson condensation, chemical reaction, and even predatory-prey oscillation, the coarse-grained dynamics are governed by an equation containing anti-symmetric transitions, known as the…
A transition from a smooth torus to a chaotic attractor in quasiperiodically forced dissipative systems may occur after a finite number of torus-doubling bifurcations. In this paper we investigate the underlying bifurcational mechanism…
Nonlinear dynamical systems subjected to a combination of noise and time-varying forcing can exhibit sudden changes, critical transitions or tipping points where large or rapid dynamic effects arise from changes in a parameter that are…
We consider non-colliding Brownian bridges starting from two points and returning to the same position. These positions are chosen such that, in the limit of large number of bridges, the two families of bridges just touch each other forming…
Summary: A system of autonomous ordinary differential equations depending on a small parameter is considered such that the unperturbed system has an invariant manifold of periodic solutions that is not normally hyperbolic but is normally…
In this paper we study the cyclicity of sliding cycles for regularized piecewise smooth visible-invisible two-folds, in the presence of singularities of the Filippov sliding vector field located away from two-folds. We obtain a slow-fast…
In this article, we present an analysis of the effects of singular perturbations on the sliding motion in Filippov systems. We show that singular perturbations may lead to qualitatively distinct topologies of phase space on the switching…
Turbine blades operating in transonic-supersonic regime develop a complex shock wave system at the trailing edge, a phenomenon that leads to unfavorable pressure perturbations downstream and can interact with other turbine stages.…
The classical pitchfork of singularity theory is a twice-degenerate bifurcation that typically occurs in dynamical system models exhibiting Z_2 symmetry. Non-classical pitchfork singularities also occur in many non-symmetric systems, where…
The interplay of synchronization and topological band structures with symmetry protected midgap states under the influence of driving and dissipation is largely unexplored. Here we consider a trimer chain of electron shuttles, each…
We analyze chaos in the well-known nonautonomous Double-Gyre system. A key focus is on folding, which is possibly the less-studied aspect of the "stretching + folding = chaos" mantra of chaotic dynamics. Despite the Double-Gyre not having…
In this article we study topological transitivity of Anosov flows on non-compact 3-manifolds. We provide homological conditions under which the lifts of a transitive Anosov flow to certain infinite covers of the manifold remain transitive.…
The flywheel ball and hexagonal structures in the design of the classical centrifugal governor systems lead to both modeling and analytical difficulties. In the present paper, a new trigonal centrifugal governor is proposed in an attempt to…
