We develop a new theory of maximizing sets in dynamical systems, for the study of ergodic optimization in systems with weak hyperbolicity but where the Ma\~n\'e cohomology lemma does not hold. This leads to new solutions of the Typical…

Periodic orbit theory provides two important functions---the dynamical zeta function and the spectral determinant for the calculation of dynamical averages in a nonlinear system. Their cycle expansions converge rapidly when the system is…

This is an introduction of a book called "strong regularity", to appear at Ast\'erisque, containing: 1) Yoccoz' proof of Jakobson theorem www.college-de-france.fr/media/jean-christophe-yoccoz/UPL7416254474776698194_Jakobson_jcy.pdf 2)…

Chaotic dynamics can be effectively studied by continuation from an anti-integrable limit. Using the Henon map as an example, we obtain a simple analytical bound on the domain of existence of the horseshoe that is equivalent to the…

We investigate random complex dynamics of rational or polynomial maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that regarding random complex dynamics of polynomials, generically, the chaos of the averaged system disappears at any point in the Riemann…

In this article we prove that for a diffeomorphism on a compact Riemannian manifold, if there is a nontrival homoclinic class that is not uniformly hyperbolic or the diffeomorphism is a $C^{1+\alpha}$ and there is a hyperbolic ergodic…

A general technique for the periodic orbit quantization of systems with near-integrable to mixed regular-chaotic dynamics is introduced. A small set of periodic orbits is sufficient for the construction of the semiclassical recurrence…

The theory of uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems was initiated in the 1960's (though its roots stretch far back into the 19th century) by S. Smale, his students and collaborators, in the west, and D. Anosov, Ya. Sinai, V. Arnold, in the…

In the 1960s and 1970s a large part of the theory of dynamical systems concerned the case of uniformly hyperbolic or Axiom A dynamical system and abstract ergodic theory of smooth dynamical systems. However since around 1980 an emphasize…

We prove a generalised Yuan--Hunt--Ma\~n\'e Conjecture: if $\mathcal{F}$ is the Banach space of $\alpha$-H\"older functions, and $\mathcal{T}$ is either a space of Lipschitz expanding maps, or of Anosov diffeomorphisms, or the family of…

In this contribution, the optimal stabilization problem of periodic orbits is studied via invariant manifold theory and symplectic geometry. The stable manifold theory for the optimal point stabilization case is generalized to the case of…

We show that, near periodic orbits, a class of hybrid models can be reduced to or approximated by smooth continuous-time dynamical systems. Specifically, near an exponentially stable periodic orbit undergoing isolated transitions in a…

Given a dynamical system, we say that a performance function has property P if its time averages along orbits are maximized at a periodic orbit. It is conjectured by several authors that for sufficiently hyperbolic dynamical systems,…

Intermittent dynamics is characterized by long periods of different types of dynamical characteristics, for instance almost periodic dynamics alternated by chaotic dynamics. Critical intermittency is intermittent dynamics that can occur in…

We consider Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the Euclidean space, generated by compactly supported time-dependent perturbations of hyperbolic quadratic forms. We prove that, under some natural assumptions, such a diffeomorphism must have…

A well-behaved adjoint sensitivity technique for chaotic dynamical systems is presented. The method arises from the specialisation of established variational techniques to the unstable periodic orbits of the system. On such trajectories,…

This paper generalizes a previously-conceived, continuation-based optimization technique for scalar objective functions on constraint manifolds to cases of periodic and quasiperiodic solutions of delay-differential equations. A Lagrange…

In this paper we obtain an almost sure invariance principle for convergent sequences of either Anosov diffeomorphisms or expanding maps on compact Riemannian manifolds and prove an ergodic stability result for such sequences. The sequences…

We consider a system of nonlocal equations driven by a perturbed periodic potential. We construct multibump solutions that connect one integer point to another one in a prescribed way. In particular, heteroclinc, homoclinic and chaotic…
