Factor complexity of S-adic words generated by the Arnoux–Rauzy–Poincaré algorithm

The Arnoux–Rauzy–Poincaré multidimensional continued fraction algorithm is obtained by combining the Arnoux–Rauzy and Poincaré algorithms. It is a generalized Euclidean algorithm. Its three-dimensional linear version consists in subtracting the sum of the two smallest entries from the largest if possible (Arnoux–Rauzy step), and otherwise, in subtracting the smallest entry from the median and the median from the largest (the Poincaré step), and by performing when possible Arnoux–Rauzy steps in priority. After renormalization it provides a piecewise fractional map of the standard 2-simplex. We study here the factor complexity of its associated symbolic dynamical system, defined as an S-adic system. It is made of infinite words generated by the composition of sequences of finitely many substitutions, together with some restrictions concerning the allowed sequences of substitutions expressed in terms of a regular language. Here, the substitutions are provided by the matrices of the linear version of the algorithm. We give an upper bound for the linear growth of the factor complexity. We then deduce the convergence of the associated algorithm by unique ergodicity.     

Hamiltonian nilpotent saddles of linear plus cubic homogeneous polynomial vector fields

Universal Abelian covers of rational surface singularities and multi-index filtrations

In previous papers, the authors computed the Poincaré series of some (multi-index) filtrations on the ring of germs of functions on a rational surface singularity. These Poincaré series were expressed as the integer parts of certain fractional power series, whose interpretation was not given. In this paper, we show that, up to a simple change of variables, these fractional power series are reductions of the equivariant Poincaré series for filtrations on the ring of germs of functions on the universal Abelian cover of the surface. We compute these equivariant Poincaré series.     

Wandering sets for a class of borel isomorphisms of [0,1)

A wandering set for a map ϕ is a set containing precisely one element from each orbit of ϕ. We study the existence of Borel wandering sets for piecewise linear isomorphisms. Such sets need not exist even when the parameters involved are rational, but they do exist if in addition all the slopes are powers of 2. For ϕ having at most one discontinuity, the existence of a Borel wandering set is equivalent to rationality of the Poincaré rotation number. We compute the rotation numbers for a special class of such functions. The main result provides a concrete method of connecting certain pairs of wavelet sets.     

Asyptotics for linear difference equations I:basic theory

We present here a unified treatment of asymptotic theory of linear difference equations. This is based on anadapted theory of discrete dichotomy. The obtained results narrow the gap between Poincarés Theorem and (the discrete analoue of) Levinson's Theorem.     

Statistics of Poincaré recurrences in local and global approaches

The basic statistical characteristics of the Poincaré recurrence sequence are obtained numerically for the logistic map in the chaotic regime. The mean values, variance and recurrence distribution density are calculated and their dependence on the return region size is analyzed. It is verified that the Afraimovich–Pesin dimension may be evaluated by the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy. The peculiarities of the influence of noise on the recurrence statistics are studied in local and global approaches. It is shown that the obtained numerical data are in complete agreement with the theoretical results. It is demonstrated that the Poincaré recurrence theory can be applied to diagnose effects of stochastic resonance and chaos synchronization and to calculate the fractal dimension of a chaotic attractor.     

Existence of limit cycles in general planar piecewise linear systems of saddle–saddle dynamics

The existence and number of limit cycles in a class of general planar piecewise linear systems constituted by two linear subsystems with saddle–saddle dynamics are investigated. Using the Liénard-like canonical form with seven parameters, the parametric regions of the existence of limit cycles are given by constructing proper Poincaré maps. In particular, the existence of at least two limit cycles is proved and some parameter regions where two nested limit cycles exist are given.     

Applications of the odd symplectic group in Hamiltonian systems

In this paper we give two applications of the odd symplectic group to the study of the linear Poincaré maps of a periodic orbits of a Hamiltonian vector field, which cannot be obtained using the standard symplectic theory. First we look at the geodesic flow. We show that the period of the geodesic is a noneigenvalue modulus of the conjugacy class in the odd symplectic group of the linear Poincaré map. Second, we study an example of a family of periodic orbits, which forms a folded Robinson cylinder. The stability of this family uses the fact that the unipotent odd symplectic Poincaré map at the fold has a noneigenvalue modulus.

On degenerate resonances and “vortex pairs”

Hamiltonian systems with 3/2 degrees of freedom close to non-linear autonomous are studied. For unperturbed equations with a nonlinearity in the form of a polynomial of the fourth or fifth degree, their coefficients are specified for which the period on closed phase curves is not a monotone function of the energy and has extreme values of the maximal order. When the perturbation is periodic in time, this non-monotonicity leads to the existence of degenerate resonances. The numerical study of the Poincaré map was carried out and bifurcations related to the formation of the vortex pairs within the resonance zones were found. For systems of a general form at arbitrarily small perturbations the absence of vortex pairs is proved. An explanation of the appearance of these structures for the Poincaré map is presented.      

Existence of periodic orbits and chaos in a class of three-dimensional piecewise linear systems with two virtual stable node-foci

In this paper, we consider a new class of piecewise linear (PWL) systems with two virtual stable node-foci (the meaning of “virtual” is from Bernardo et al. (2008)) which exhibits periodic orbits and chaos. This fact that PWL systems have no unstable equilibria but has chaos will unavoidably make the exploration of this chaos more complicated. Particular values for bifurcation diagram are provided. Based on mathematical analysis and Poincaré map, periodic orbits of this kind of system without unstable equilibrium points are derived, the corresponding existence theorems are given, and the obtained results are applied to specific examples.     

Degenerate Orbit Flip Homoclinic Bifurcations with Higher Dimensions

Bifurcations of a degenerate homoclinic orbit with orbit flip in high dimensional system are studied. By establishing a local coordinate system and a Poincaré map near the homoclinic orbit, the existence and uniqueness of 1–homoclinic orbit and 1–periodic orbit are given. Also considered is the existence of 2–homoclinic orbit and 2–periodic orbit. In additon, the corresponding bifurcation surfaces are given.

Weak Poincaré Inequalities, Decay of Markov Semigroups and Concentration of Measures

For a reasonable class of weak Poincaré inequalities, the decay of the corresponding Markov semigroups obtained earlier by Röckner and the first named author is improved by removing an extra L ²–norm. Next, a concentration estimate of the reference measure is presented for the weak Poincaré inequality, which is sharp as illustrated by some examples of one–dimensional diffusion processes.     

Integral representations and the generalized Poincaré inequality on Carnot groups

We give some integral representations of the form f(x) = P(f)+K(?f) on two-step Carnot groups, where P(f) is a polynomial and K is an integral operator with a specific singularity. We then obtain the weak Poincaré inequality and coercive estimates as well as the generalized Poincaré inequality on the general Carnot groups.     

Vanishing theorems for ach Kähler manifolds and harmonic maps

We discuss a class of complete Kähler manifolds which are asymptotically complex hyperbolic near infinity. The main result is vanishing theorems for the second L ² cohomology of such manifolds when it has positive spectrum. We also generalize the result to the weighted Poincaré inequality case and establish a vanishing theorem provided that the weighted function ρ is of sub-quadratic growth of the distance function. We also obtain a vanishing theorem of harmonic maps on manifolds which satisfies the weighted Poincaré inequality.     

Constructing an automorphic form from the orbit of a transformation

We consider the Fuchsian groups of linear-fractional transformations. We propose a new method for presenting automorphic forms as gap series over an appropriate subset of transformations of the group which is not a subgroup. Comparative analysis of the Poincaré theta-series and gap series demonstrates that the use of gap series requires less transformations and parameters that the summands of series depend on.     

Asymptotics for solutions of periodic difference systemsSupported in part by Fondecyt 1030535, 1080034, DGI-MATH UNAP 2008 and Diufro 120521.

Using dichotomies and periodic conditions, we obtain asymptotic formulas for solutions of a difference system of Poincaré type with periodic coefficients. Some results about the theory of existence of periodic solutions for linear difference systems are presented. At the end, an open problem on the asymptotic spectral representation is proposed.     

Continuous and Discrete Clebsch Variational Principles

The Clebsch method provides a unifying approach for deriving variational principles for continuous and discrete dynamical systems where elements of a vector space are used to control dynamics on the cotangent bundle of a Lie group via a velocity map. This paper proves a reduction theorem which states that the canonical variables on the Lie group can be eliminated, if and only if the velocity map is a Lie algebra action, thereby producing the Euler–Poincaré (EP) equation for the vector space variables. In this case, the map from the canonical variables on the Lie group to the vector space is the standard momentum map defined using the diamond operator. We apply the Clebsch method in examples of the rotating rigid body and the incompressible Euler equations. Along the way, we explain how singular solutions of the EP equation for the diffeomorphism group (EPDiff) arise as momentum maps in the Clebsch approach. In the case of finite-dimensional Lie groups, the Clebsch variational principle is discretized to produce a variational integrator for the dynamical system. We obtain a discrete map from which the variables on the cotangent bundle of a Lie group may be eliminated to produce a discrete EP equation for elements of the vector space. We give an integrator for the rotating rigid body as an example. We also briefly discuss how to discretize infinite-dimensional Clebsch systems, so as to produce conservative numerical methods for fluid dynamics.
