High-index saddle dynamics (HiSD) is an effective approach for computing saddle points of a prescribed Morse index and constructing solution landscapes for complex nonlinear systems. However, for problems with ill-conditioned Hessians…

The high-index saddle dynamics (HiSD) method [J. Yin, L. Zhang, and P. Zhang, {\it SIAM J. Sci. Comput., }41 (2019), pp.A3576-A3595] serves as an efficient tool for computing index-$k$ saddle points and constructing solution landscapes.…

Finding constrained saddle points on Riemannian manifolds is significant for analyzing energy landscapes arising in physics and chemistry. Existing works have been limited to special manifolds that admit global regular level-set…

Non-convex optimal control arises from various applications but may contain multiple stationary points. Classical solvers usually perform a ``local'' search near a saddle point or a local minimum, thus rely on good initial guess to reach…

In this paper, the gentlest ascent dynamics (GAD) developed in [W. E and X. Zhou, Nonlinearity, 24 (2011), pp. 1831--1842] is extended to a constrained gentlest ascent dynamics (CGAD) to find constrained saddle points with any specified…

We study the discrete constrained saddle dynamics and their momentum variants for locating saddle points on manifolds. Under the assumption of exact unstable eigenvectors, we establish a local linear convergence of the discrete constrained…

This paper proposes and analyzes an iterative minimization formulation for search- ing index-1 saddle points of an energy function. This formulation differs from other eigenvector-following methods by constructing a new objective function…

We present a mathematical and numerical investigation to the shrinkingdimer saddle dynamics for finding any-index saddle points in the solution landscape. Due to the dimer approximation of Hessian in saddle dynamics, the local Lipschitz…

In this paper we consider the problem of finding an evolution of a dynamical system that originates and terminates in given sets of states. However, if such an evolution exists then it is usually not unique. We investigate this problem and…
