Quasilinear systems with piecewise constant arguments of generalized type are under investigation from the asymptotic point of view. The systems have discontinuous right-hand sides which are identified via a discrete-time map. It is…
The discovery of Pluto's small moons in the last decade brought attention to the dynamics of the dwarf planet's satellites. With such systems in mind, we study a planar $N$-body system in which all the bodies are point masses, except for a…
We consider two stable heteroclinic cycles rotating in opposite directions, coupled via diffusive terms. A complete synchronization in this system is impossible, and numerical exploration shows that chaos is abundant at low levels of…
Semiclassical sum rules, such as the Gutzwiller trace formula, depend on the properties of periodic, closed, or homoclinic (heteroclinic) orbits. The interferences embedded in such orbit sums are governed by classical action functions and…
Homoclinic and unstable periodic orbits in chaotic systems play central roles in various semiclassical sum rules. The interferences between terms are governed by the action functions and Maslov indices. In this article, we identify…
We consider the 3-body problem in relativistic lineal gravity and obtain an exact expression for its Hamiltonian and equations of motion. While general-relativistic effects yield more tightly-bound orbits of higher frequency compared to…
We study an ensemble of identical noisy phase oscillators with a blinking mean-field coupling, where one-cluster and two-cluster synchronous states alternate. In the thermodynamic limit the population is described by a nonlinear…
The three-body problem is arguably the oldest open question in astrophysics, and has resisted a general analytic solution for centuries. Various implementations of perturbation theory provide solutions in portions of parameter space, but…
The abstract hyperbolic sets are introduced. Continuous and differentiable mappings as well as rate of convergence and transversal manifolds are not under discussion, and the symbolic dynamics paradigm is realized in a new way. Our…
We discuss asymptotically hyperbolic manifold with a noncompact boundary which is close to a horosphere in a certain sense. The model case is a horoball or the complement of a horoball in standard hyperbolic space. We show some geometric…
We prove the global classical solvability of initial-boundary problems for semilinear first-order hyperbolic systems subjected to local and nonlocal nonlinear boundary conditions. We also establish lower bounds for the order of nonlinearity…

Dynamic behavior of a weightless rod with a point mass sliding along the rod axis according to periodic law is studied. This is the simplest model of child's swing. Melnikov's analysis is carried out to find bifurcations of homoclinic,…
We use a third-order perturbation theory and Melnikov's method to prove the existence of chaos in spinning circular disks subject to a lateral point load. We show that the emergence of transverse homoclinic and heteroclinic points…
We show that hyperbolicity is a necessary condition for the well posedness of the noncharacteristic Cauchy problem for nonlinear partial differential equations. We give conditions on the initial data which are necessary for the existence of…
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…
