In this paper, we study geometric properties of basins of attraction of monotone systems. Our results are based on a combination of monotone systems theory and spectral operator theory. We exploit the framework of the Koopman operator,…
When a nematic liquid crystal is confined in a porous medium with strong anchoring conditions, topological defects, called disclinations, are stably formed with numerous possible configurations. Since the energy barriers between them are…
Nonautonomous driving of an oscillator has been shown to enlarge the Arnold tongue in parameter space, but little is known about the analogous effect for a network of oscillators. To test the hypothesis that deterministic nonautonomous…
Many exo-solar systems discovered in the last decade consist of planets orbiting in resonant configurations and consequently, their evolution should show long-term stability. However, due to the mutual planetary interactions a multi-planet…
Chaotic dynamics can be quite heterogeneous in the sense that in some regions the dynamics are unstable in more directions than in other regions. When trajectories wander between these regions, the dynamics is complicated. We say a chaotic…
For systems with hidden attractors and unstable equilibria, the property that hidden attractors are not connected with unstable equilibria is now accepted as one of their main characteristics. To the best of our knowledge this property has…
The introduction of a memristor in a chaotic system can significantly modify its dynamical behavior. In this paper, we couple a discrete memristor model with a chaotic map to investigate the memristor's impact on the stability of chaotic…
We analyze a variant of a model proposed by Kuramoto, Shinomoto, and Sakaguchi for a large population of coupled oscillatory and excitable elements. Using the Ott-Antonsen ansatz, we reduce the behavior of the population to a…
Non-equilibrium systems display memory, a dependence not merely on their present environment but on previously applied fields. Multistable systems such as spin glasses, martensites and granular matter have exponentially many microstates…
The question of the stability of unstable states of dynamical systems that do not explicitly contain a small parameter, chaos and bifurcations in them has attracted attention ever since [1-14]. This is due to the fact that this problem…
There have been several existence results for the standing waves of FitzHugh-Nagumo equations. Such waves are the connecting orbits of an autonomous second-order Lagrangian system and the corresponding kinetic energy is an indefinite…
The phase diagram of a simple area-preserving map, which was motivated by the quantum dynamics of cold atoms, is explored analytically and numerically. Periodic orbits of a given winding ratio are found to exist within wedge-shaped regions…
For infinitely large sparse networks of spiking neurons mean field theory shows that a balanced state of highly irregular activity arises under various conditions. Here we analytically investigate the microscopic irregular dynamics in…
We consider kinetic systems and prove their stability working in weighted spaces in which the systems are symmetric. We prove stability for various explicit and implicit semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes. The applications include…
Quantifying the stability of an equilibrium is central in the theory of dynamical systems as well as in engineering and control. A comprehensive picture must include the response to both small and large perturbations, leading to the…
We review the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic mechanisms that tentatively lead to stable or metastable multiquark configurations. An alternative interpretation of the dynamics is the quark interchange between hadrons, as illustrated in…
The dynamics of systems of two and three planets, initially placed on circular and nearly coplanar orbits, is explored in the proximity of their stability limit. The evolution of a large number of systems is numerically computed and their…
Many-body systems relaxing to equilibrium can exhibit complex dynamics even if their steady state is trivial. At low temperatures or high densities their evolution is often dominated by steric hindrances affecting particle motion [1,2,3].…
Multi-planetary systems are prevalent in our Galaxy. The long-term stability of such systems may be disrupted if a distant inclined companion excites the eccentricity and inclination of the inner planets via the eccentric Kozai-Lidov…
Impulsive control is used to suppress the chaotic behavior in an one-dimensional discrete supply and demand dynamical system. By perturbing periodically the state variable with constant impulses, the chaos can be suppressed. It is proved…
