To a coarse structure we associate a Grothendieck topology which is determined by coarse covers. A coarse map between coarse spaces gives rise to a morphism of Grothendieck topologies. This way we define sheaves and sheaf cohomology on…
We consider the model of a point-vortex under a periodic perturbation and give sufficient conditions for the existence of generalized quasi-periodic solutions with rotation number. The proof uses Aubry-Mather theory to obtain the existence…
We prove that for any non-trivial perturbation depending on any two independent harmonics of a pendulum and a rotor there is global instability. The proof is based on the geometrical method and relies on the concrete computation of several…
Mishchenko's theorem states that piecewise smooth and Lie algebroid cohomology of a transitive Lie algebroid defined over a combinatorial manifold are isomorphic. In this paper, we describe two applications of that result. The first…
We employ an extension of ergodic theory to the random setting to investigate the existence of random periodic solutions of random dynamical systems. Given that a random dynamical system has a dissipative structure, we proved that a random…
In discrete schemes, weak KAM solutions may be interpreted as approximations of correctors for some Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the periodic setting. It is known that correctors may not exist in the almost periodic setting. We show the…
For two-parameter families of dissipative twist maps, we investigate the dynamics of invariant graphs as well as the thresholds for their existence and breakdown. Our main results are as follows: (1) For arbitrarily small $C^r$…
We prove the holding of chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke for a family of four-dimensional discrete dynamical systems that are naturally associated to ODE systems describing coupled oscillators subject to an external non-conservative force,…
We consider the noise-induced transitions in the randomly perturbed discrete logistic map from a linearly stable periodic orbit consisting of T periodic points. The traditional large deviation theory and asymptotic analysis for small noise…
Inspired by a twist maps theorem of Mather we study recurrent invariant sets that are ordered like rigid rotation under the action of the lift of a bimodal circle map $g$ to the $k$-fold cover. For each irrational in the interior of the…
We study the dynamics of a piecewise map defined on the set of three pairwise nonparallel, nonconcurrent lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The geometric map of study may be analogized to the billiard map with a different reflection rule so that each…
We present and analyze rigorously a quadratically convergent algorithm to compute an invariant circle for 2-dimensional maps along with the corresponding foliation by stable manifolds. We prove that when the algorithm starts from an initial…
We give a mechanical example concerning the fact that some regularity is necessary in KAM theory. We consider the model given by the vertical bouncing motion of a ball on a periodically moving plate. Denoting with $f$ the motion of the…
Finding special orbits (as periodic orbits) of dynamical systems by variational methods and especially by minimization methods is an old method (just think to the geodesic flow). More recently, new results concerning the existence of…
In this paper, we use geometry of numbers to relate two dual Diophantine problems. This allows us to focus on simultaneous approximations rather than small linear forms. As a consequence, we develop a new approach to the perturbation theory…
In nontwist systems, primary shearless curves act as barriers to chaotic transport. Surprisingly, the onset of secondary shearless curves has been reported in a few twist systems. Meanwhile, we found that, in twist systems, the onset of…
In the case of smooth manifolds, we use Forman's discrete Morse theory to realize combinatorially any Thom-Smale complex coming from a smooth Morse function by a couple triangulation-discrete Morse function. As an application, we prove that…
The phase space of an integrable, volume-preserving map with one action and $d$ angles is foliated by a one-parameter family of $d$-dimensional invariant tori. Perturbations of such a system may lead to chaotic dynamics and transport. We…
There exists a variety of physically interesting situations described by continuous maps that are nondifferentiable on some surface in phase space. Such systems exhibit novel types of bifurcations in which multiple coexisting attractors can…
A method for the semiclassical quantization of chaotic maps is proposed, which is based on harmonic inversion. The power of the technique is demonstrated for the baker's map as a prototype example of a chaotic map.
