Context. Detecting regular dips in the light curve of a star is an easy way to detect the presence of an orbiting planet. COROT is a Franco-European mission launched at the end of 2006, and one of its main objectives is to detect planetary…
In this paper decomposition of periodic orbits in bifurcation diagrams are derived in unidimensional dynamics system $x_{n+1}=f(x_{n};r)$, being $f$ an unimodal function. We proof a theorem which states the necessary and sufficient…
We prove the existence of periodic orbits of the two fixed centers problem bifurcating from the Kepler problem. We provide the analytical expressions of these periodic orbits when the mass parameter of the system is sufficiently small.
We provide an analytical proof of the existence of a stable periodic orbit contained in the region of coexistence of the three species of a tritrophic chain. The method used consists in analyzing a triple Hopf bifurcation. For some values…
Contraction analysis uses a local criterion to prove the long-term behaviour of a dynamical system. A contraction metric is a Riemannian metric with respect to which the distance between adjacent solutions contracts. If adjacent solutions…
Nowadays, many extrasolar planetary systems possessing at least one planet on a highly eccentric orbit have been discovered. In this work, we study the possible long-term stability of such systems. We consider the general three body problem…
Short-period super-Earths and mini-Neptunes encircle more than $\sim50\%$ of Sun-like stars and are relatively amenable to direct observational characterization. Despite this, environments in which these planets accrete are difficult to…
Among the numerous discoveries resulting from the {\it Kepler} mission are a plethora of compact planetary systems that provide deep insights into planet formation theories. The architecture of such compact systems also produces unique…
We study almost periodic orbits of quantum systems and prove that for periodic time-dependent Hamiltonians an orbit is almost periodic if, and only if, it is precompact. In the case of quasiperiodic time-dependence we present an example of…

We explore the problem of stabilization of unstable periodic orbits in discrete nonlinear dynamical systems. This work proposes the generalization of predictive control method for resolving the stabilization problem. Our method embodies the…
We present the first quantum system where Anderson localization is completely described within periodic-orbit theory. The model is a quantum graph analogous to an a-periodic Kronig-Penney model in one dimension. The exact expression for the…

Tobasco et al. [Physics Letters A, 382:382-386, 2018; see https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physleta.2017.12.023] recently suggested that trajectories of ODE systems that optimize the infinite-time average of a certain observable can be localized…
We study relations between transitivity, mixing and periodic points on dendrites. We prove that when there is a point with dense orbit which is not an endpoint, then periodic points are dense and there is a terminal periodic decomposition…

Vertical thermal convection system exhibits weak turbulence and spatio-temporally chaotic behaviour. In this system, we report seven equilibria and 26 periodic orbits, all new and linearly unstable. These orbits, together with four…
Periodic orbits and cycles, respectively, play a significant role in discrete- and continuous-time dynamical systems (i.e. maps and flows). To succinctly describe their shifts when the system is applied perturbation, the notions of…
