This paper proves that shadowing solutions can be almost surely nonphysical. This finding invalidates the argument that small perturbations in a chaotic system can only have a small impact on its statistical behavior. This theoretical…
We report the observation of a novel and non-trivial synchronization state in a system consisting of three oscillators coupled in a linear chain. For certain ranges of coupling strength the weakly coupled oscillator pair exhibits phase…
We discuss a variation of Takagi curves based, however, more on algebraic than geometric principles. Namely, we construct functions of loops in a special binary representation. The graph of these functions usually has chaotic and fractal…
We consider a simple motivating example of a non-Hamiltonian dynamical system with time-dependent constraints obtained by imposing rheonomic non-integrable Bilimovich's constraint on a freely rotating rigid body. Dynamics of this…
Hidden Markov chains are widely applied statistical models of stochastic processes, from fundamental physics and chemistry to finance, health, and artificial intelligence. The hidden Markov processes they generate are notoriously…
We describe the phase space structures related to the semi-major axis of Molniya-like satellites subject to tesseral and lunisolar resonances. In particular, the questions answered in this contribution are: (i) we study the indirect…
We explore a two-body system with superexponential interactions that serves as a fundamental building block for a route to complexity. While being of striking simplicity this highly nonlinear interaction yields a plethora of intriguing…
This paper focuses on the escape problem of a harmonically-forced classical particle from a purely-quartic truncated potential well. The latter corresponds to various engineering systems that involve purely cubic restoring force and absence…
The notion of primitive chaos was proposed [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 79}, 15002 (2010)] as a notion closely related to the fundamental problems of physics itself such as determinism, causality, free will, predictability, and irreversibility.…
Optomechanical systems are known to exhibit a rich set of complex dynamical features including various types of chaotic behavior and multi-stability. Although this exotic behavior has attracted an intense research interest, the utilization…
Propagation of rays in 2D and 3D corrugated waveguides is performed in the general framework of stability indicators. The analysis of stability is based on the Lyapunov and Reversibility error. It is found that the error growth follows a…
The study of non-linear oscillator chains in classical many-body dynamics has a storied history going back to the seminal work of Fermi, Pasta, Ulam and Tsingou (FPUT). We introduce a new family of such systems which consist of chains of…
Billiards in ellipses have a confocal ellipse or hyperbola as caustic. The goal of this paper is to prove that for each billiard of one type there exists an isometric counterpart of the other type. Isometry means here that the lengths of…
The Bose--Hubbard dimer model is a celebrated fundamental quantum mechanical model that accounts for the dynamics of bosons at two interacting sites. It has been realized experimentally by two coupled, driven and lossy photonic crystal…
We analyze the chaotic dynamics of a one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. This nonintegrable model, ubiquitous in several fields of physics, describes the behavior of an array of coupled complex oscillators with a…
We report the numerical observation of scarring, that is enhancement of probability density around unstable periodic orbits of a chaotic system, in the eigenfunctions of the classical Perron-Frobenius operator of noisy Anosov ("cat") maps,…
Covariant Lyapunov vectors or CLVs span the expanding and contracting directions of perturbations along trajectories in a chaotic dynamical system. Due to efficient algorithms to compute them that only utilize trajectory information, they…
We study the chaotic behavior of multidimensional Hamiltonian systems in the presence of nonlinearity and disorder. It is known that any localized initial excitation in a large enough linear disordered system spreads for a finite amount of…
Many multi-agent systems in nature are comprised of agents that interact with, and respond to, the dynamics of their environment. In this paper, we approach the study of such agent-environment interactions through the study of passively…
The boundary of the lemon billiards is defined by the intersection of two circles of equal unit radius with the distance $2B$ between their centers, as introduced by Heller and Tomsovic in Phys. Today {\bf 46} 38 (1993). This paper is a…
