We prove that spiral sinks (stable foci of vector fields) can be transformed into strange attractors exhibiting sustained, observable chaos if subjected to periodic pulsatile forcing. We show that this phenomenon occurs in the context of…
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…
A generalization of the Lorenz equations is proposed where the variables take values in a Lie algebra. The finite dimensionality of the representation encodes the quantum fluctuations, while the non-linear nature of the equations can…
We propose an example of smooth autonomous system governed by differential delay equation manifesting chaotic dynamics apparently associated with hyperbolic attractor of Smale - Williams type. The general idea is to depart from a system…
In this paper we analyze local structure of several chaotic attractors recently suggested in literature as pseudohyperbolic. The absence of tangencies and thus the presence of the pseudohyperbolicity is verified using the method of angles…
The notion of sectional-hyperbolicity is a weakened form of hyperbolicity introduced for vector fields in order to understand the dynamical behavior of certain higher-dimensional systems such as the multidimensional Lorenz attractor. In…
A doubly nonlinear parabolic equation of the form $\alpha(u_t)-\Delta u+W'(u)= f$, complemented with initial and either Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions, is addressed. The two nonlinearities are given by the maximal…
Let $\Phi$ be a quasi-periodically forced quadratic map, where the rotation constant $\omega$ is a Diophantine irrational. A strange non-chaotic attractor (SNA) is an invariant (under $\Phi$) attracting graph of a nowhere continuous…
This article studies the rotational dynamics of three identical coupled pendulums. There exist two parameter areas where the in-phase rotational motion is unstable and out-of-phase rotations are realized. Asymptotic theory is developed that…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of quasi-semi hyperbolic pseudo-orbits and prove that quasi-semi hyperbolicity implies quasi hyperbolicity provided the error magnitude are sufficiently small. We also have successively demonstrated…
We prove that a pair of heterodimensional cycles can be born at the bifurcations of a pair of Shilnikov loops (homoclinic loops to a saddle-focus equilibrium) having a one-dimensional unstable manifold in a volume-hyperbolic flow with a…
We present a multidimensional flow exhibiting a Rovella-like attractor: a transitive invariant set with a non-Lorenz-like singularity accumulated by regular orbits and a multidimensional non-uniformly expanding invariant direction.…
We introduce random towers to study almost sure rates of correlation decay for random partially hyperbolic attractors. Using this framework, we obtain abstract results on almost sure exponential, stretched exponential and polynomial…
Non-conformal attractor behavior is studied by solving non-conformal second order viscous hydrodynamics with respect to boost-invariant plasmas. Numerical solutions of the relative decay rate of the enthalpy density, the inverse shear and…
It is known that volume hyperbolicity (partial hyperbolicity and uniform expansion or contraction of the volume in the extremal bundles) is a necessary condition for robust transitivity or robust chain recurrence hence for tameness. In this…
The generalized Floquet exponent and the attractiveness portrait (or A-portrait for short) of the attractor and of the smallest invariant closed set are suggested to be used for the study of dynamical systems. Based on the A-portrait, some…
The destruction of a chaotic attractor leading to rough changes in the dynamics of a dynamical system is studied. Local bifurcations are characterised by a single or a pair of characteristic exponents crossing the imaginary axis. The…
In this tutorial, we discuss self-excited and hidden attractors for systems of differential equations. We considered the example of a Lorenz-like system derived from the well-known Glukhovsky--Dolghansky and Rabinovich systems, to…
There are few explicit examples in the literature of vector fields exhibiting complex dynamics that may be proved analytically. This paper reports numerical experiments performed for an explicit two-parameter family of vector fields…
We present a slightly modified version of the well known "geometric Lorenz attractor". It consists in a C1 open set O of vector fields in R3 having an attracting region U containing: (1) a unique singular saddle point sigma; (2) a unique…
