In this article, we study a one-dimensional nonlocal quasilinear problem of the form $u_t=a(\Vert u_x\Vert^2)u_{xx}+\nu f(u)$, with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the interval $[0,\pi]$, where $0<m\leq a(s)\leq M$ for all $s\in…
Finite-time Lyapunov exponents and vectors are used to define and diagnose boundary-layer type, two-timescale behavior in the tangent linear dynamics and to determine the associated manifold structure in the flow of a finite-dimensional…
We analytically link three properties of nonlinear dynamical systems, namely sensitivity to initial conditions, entropy production, and escape rate, in $z$-logistic maps for both positive and zero Lyapunov exponents. We unify these…
We study the effects of IID random perturbations of amplitude $\epsilon > 0$ on the asymptotic dynamics of one-parameter families $\{f_a : S^1 \to S^1, a \in [0,1]\}$ of smooth multimodal maps which "predominantly expanding", i.e., $|f'_a|…
The deterministic equations describing the dynamics of the atmosphere (and of the climate system) are known to display the property of sensitivity to initial conditions. In the ergodic theory of chaos this property is usually quantified by…
We provide Lyapunov-like characterizations of boundedness and convergence of non-trivial solutions for a class of systems with unstable invariant sets. Examples of systems to which the results may apply include interconnections of stable…
This study investigates the influence of initial conditions on the evolution and properties of linear quasi-normal modes (QNMs). Using a toy model in which the quasi-normal mode can be unambiguously identified, we highlight an aspect of…
For a strongly dissipative H\'enon-like map at the first bifurcation parameter at which the uniform hyperbolicity is destroyed by the formation of tangencies inside the limit set, we effect a multifractal analysis, i.e., decompose the set…
We consider some general classes of random dynamical systems and show that a priori very weak nonuniform hyperbolicity conditions actually imply uniform hyperbolicity.
In this study, using q-generalized bit cumulants (q is the nonextensivity parameter of the recently introduced Tsallis statistics), we investigate the asymmetric unimodal maps. The study of the q-generalized second cumulant of these maps…
We show that a meaningful statistical description is possible in conservative and mixing systems with zero Lyapunov exponent in which the dynamical instability is only linear in time. More specifically, (i) the sensitivity to initial…
We provide several characterizations of convergence to unstable equilibria in nonlinear systems. Our current contribution is three-fold. First we present simple algebraic conditions for establishing local convergence of non-trivial…
Feigenbaum universality is shown to occur in subcritical shear flows. Our testing ground is the counter-rotation regime of the Taylor-Couette flow, where numerical calculations are performed within a small periodic domain. The accurate…
The non extensive statistics proposed by C. Tsallis has found wide applicability, being present even in the description of experimental data from high energy collisions. A system with a fractal structure in its energy-momentum space, named…
Decay to asymptotic steady state in one-dimensional logistic-like mappings is characterized by considering a phenomenological description supported by numerical simulations and confirmed by a theoretical description. As the control…
We obtain estimates relating the phase space and the parameter space of analytic families of unimodal maps. Using those estimates, we show that typical analytic unimodal maps admit a quasiquadratic renormalization. This reduces the study of…
For a dynamical system, we study the set of points $\cal W$ whose orbit approximates any chosen point at certain specified rates. Our basic setting is that of left shift acting on topological Markov chains endowed with a local weak Gibbs…
We investigate prethermalization by studying the statistical properties of the time-dependent largest Lyapunov exponent $\Lambda(t)$ for unitary-circuit maps upon approaching integrability. We follow the evolution of trajectories for…
First, we analyze trajectories inside the Feigenbaum attractor and obtain the atypical weak sensitivity to initial conditions and loss of information associated to their dynamics. We identify the Mori singularities in its Lyapunov spectrum…
We apply to bidimensional chaotic maps the numerical method proposed by Ginelli et al. to approximate the associated Oseledets splitting, i.e. the set of linear subspaces spanned by the so called covariant Lyapunov vectors (CLV) and…
