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…
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a binary system that orbits a rotating supermassive black hole. Our approach employs Fermi-Walker transport to construct a local inertial reference frame, and to set up a Newtonian binary…
The aim of this work is to continue the analysis, started in arXiv:2105.02108, of the dynamics of a point-mass particle $P$ moving in a galaxy with an harmonic biaxial core, in whose center sits a Keplerian attractive center (e.g. a Black…
