Almost periodically forced circle flows

We study general dynamical and topological behaviors of minimal sets in skew-product circle flows in both continuous and discrete settings, with particular attentions paying to almost periodically forced circle flows. When a circle flow is either discrete in time and unforced (i.e., a circle map) or continuous in time but periodically forced, behaviors of minimal sets are completely characterized by classical theory. The general case involving almost periodic forcing is much more complicated due to the presence of multiple forcing frequencies, the topological complexity of the forcing space, and the possible loss of mean motion property. On one hand, we will show that to some extent behaviors of minimal sets in an almost periodically forced circle flow resemble those of Denjoy sets of circle maps in the sense that they can be almost automorphic, Cantorian, and everywhere non-locally connected. But on the other hand, we will show that almost periodic forcing can lead to significant topological and dynamical complexities on minimal sets which exceed the contents of Denjoy theory. For instance, an almost periodically forced circle flow can be positively transitive and its minimal sets can be Li-Yorke chaotic and non-almost automorphic. As an application of our results, we will give a complete classification of minimal sets for the projective bundle flow of an almost periodic, sl(2,R)-valued, continuous or discrete cocycle.Continuous almost periodically forced circle flows are among the simplest non-monotone, multi-frequency dynamical systems. They can be generated from almost periodically forced nonlinear oscillators through integral manifolds reduction in the damped cases and through Mather theory in the damping-free cases. They also naturally arise in 2D almost periodic Floquet theory as well as in climate models. Discrete almost periodically forced circle flows arise in the discretization of nonlinear oscillators and discrete counterparts of linear Schrödinger equations with almost periodic potentials. They have been widely used as models for studying strange, non-chaotic attractors and intermittency phenomena during the transition from order to chaos. Hence the study of these flows is of fundamental importance to the understanding of multi-frequency-driven dynamical irregularities and complexities in non-monotone dynamical systems.     

Population models in almost periodic environments

We establish the basic theory of almost periodic sequences on ?₊. Dichotomy techniques are then utilized to find sufficient conditions for the existence of a globally attracting almost periodic solution of a semilinear system of difference equations. These existence results are, subsequently, applied to discretely reproducing populations with and without overlapping generations. Furthermore, we access evidence for attenuance and resonance in almost periodically forced population models.     

Generalization of the second Bogolyubov's theorem for non-almost periodic systems

The article is devoted to the generalization of the second Bogolyubov's theorem to non-almost periodic dynamical systems. We prove the analog of the second Bogolyubov's theorem for recurrent or pseudorecurrent dynamical systems in Banach spaces. Namely, we obtain the relation between a recurrent dynamical system and its averaged dynamical system. We also study existence of recurrent and pseudorecurrent motions (including special cases of periodic, quasi-periodic and almost periodic motions) in related nonautonomous systems.     

The Periodic BMAP/PH/c Queue

In queueing theory, most models are based on time-homogeneous arrival processes and service time distributions. However, in communication networks arrival rates and/or the service capacity usually vary periodically in time. In order to reflect this property accurately, one needs to examine periodic rather than homogeneous queues. In the present paper, the periodic BMAP/PH/c queue is analyzed. This queue has a periodic BMAP arrival process, which is defined in this paper, and phase-type service time distributions. As a Markovian queue, it can be analysed like an (inhomogeneous) Markov jump process. The transient distribution is derived by solving the Kolmogorov forward equations. Furthermore, a stability condition in terms of arrival and service rates is proven and for the case of stability, the asymptotic distribution is given explicitly. This turns out to be a periodic family of probability distributions. It is sketched how to analyze the periodic BMAP/M _t /c queue with periodically varying service rates by the same method.     

Existence and Exponential Stability of Almost Periodic Solution for Hopfield Neural Network Equations with Almost Periodic Imput

By constructing Liapunov functions and building a new inequality, we obtain two kinds of sufficient conditions for the existence and global exponential stability of almost periodic solution for a Hopfield-type neural networks subject to almost periodic external stimuli. In this paper, we assume that the network parameters vary almost periodically with time and we incorporate variable delays in the processing part of the network architectures.     

Periodic and almost periodic solutions of conservation laws: Global existence and decay

In this paper we survey recent results on the decay of periodic and almost periodic solutions of conservation laws. We also recall some recent results on the global existence of periodic solutions of conservation laws systems which lie inBV _loc and are constructed through Glimm scheme. The latter motivates a discussion on a possible strategy for solving the open problem of the global existence of periodic solutions of the Euler equations for nonisentropic gas dynamics. We base our decay analysis on a general result about space-time functions which are almost periodic in the space variable, established here for the first time. This result is an abstract version of Theorem 2.1 in [31], which in turn is an extention of the combined result given by Theorems 3.1–3.2 in [9].     

Existence and Attractivity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-Pseudo Almost Automorphic Sequence Solution of a Model of Bidirectional Neural Networks

In this paper we discuss the existence and global attractivity of k-pseudo almost automorphic sequence solution of a model of bidirectional cellular neural networks. We consider the corresponding difference equation analogue of the model system using suitable discretization method and obtain certain conditions for the existence of solution. The k-pseudo almost automorphic sequence solutions generalize the results of pseudo almost periodic, almost periodic and almost automorphic sequences solutions. Moreover the results proved in this paper are new and compliment the existing one.     

Almost Periodically Distributed Solutions for Diffusion Equations in Duals of Nuclear Spaces

We discuss the problem of the existence of almost periodic in distribution solutions of nuclear space-valued diffusion equations with almost periodic coefficients. Under a dissipativity condition we prove that the translation of the unique mean square bounded solution is almost periodically distributed. Similar results hold in the affine case under mean square stability of the linear part of the equation if the nuclear space is a component of a special compatible family.

Periodic solution and almost periodic solution for a nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra dispersal system with infinite delay

This paper studies a nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra dispersal systems with infinite time delay which models the diffusion of a single species into n patches by discrete dispersal. Our results show that the system is uniformly persistent under an appropriate condition. The sufficient condition for the global asymptotical stability of the system is also given. By using Mawhin continuation theorem of coincidence degree, we prove that the periodic system has at least one positive periodic solution, further, obtain the uniqueness and globally asymptotical stability for periodic system. By using functional hull theory and directly analyzing the right functional of almost periodic system, we show that the almost periodic system has a unique globally asymptotical stable positive almost periodic solution. We also show that the delays have very important effects on the dynamic behaviors of the system.     

Construction of the solutions of the equations of vibration of the classical theory of plates with parameters periodic on one coordinate

The system of classical equations of transverse vibrations of plates that are inhomogeneous on one coordinate and have exponential dependence of the solution on the other coordinate and time are presented in the canonical Hamiltonian form with suitably chosen canonical variables. For periodically varying parameters we use the general properties of periodic Hamiltonian systems to study the structure of the solutions of boundary-value problems for stationary vibrations of plates.

Game-theoretic coupled riccati equations associated to controlled linear differential systems with jump markov perturbations

In this paper we investigate several properties of the stabilizing solution of a class of systems of Riccati type differential equations with indefinite sign associated to controlled systems described by differential equations with Markovian jumping.

We show that the existence of a bounded on R ₊ and stabilizing solution for this class of systems of Riccati type differential equations is equivalent to the solvability of a control-theoretic problem, namely disturbance attenuation problem.

If the coefficients of the considered system are theta;-periodic functions then the stabilizing solution is also theta;-periodic and if the coefficients are asymptotic almost periodic functions, then the stabilizing solution is also asymptotic almost periodic and its almost periodic component is a stabilizing solution for a system of Riccati type differential equations defined on the whole real axis. One proves also that the existence of a stabilizing and bounded on R ₊ solution of a system of Riccati differential equations with indefinite sign is equivalent to the existence of a solution to a corresponding system of matrix inequalities. Finally, a minimality property of the stabilizing solution is derived.     

Periodic solutions of singular radially symmetric systems with superlinear growth

We prove the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions for periodically forced radially symmetric systems of second-order ODE??s, with a singularity of repulsive type, where the nonlinearity has a superlinear growth at infinity. These solutions have periods, which are large integer multiples of the period of the forcing, and rotate exactly once around the origin in their period time, while having a fast oscillating radial component. Analogous results hold in the case of an annular potential well.     

Biasymptotic solutions of perturbed integrable Hamiltonian systems

We prove that small perturbations of a real analytic integrable Hamiltonian system ind degrees of freedom generically have biasymptotic orbits which are obtained as intersections of the stable and unstable manifolds of invariant hyperbolic tori of dimensiond–1. Hence, these solutions will be forward and backward asymptotic to such a torus and not to a periodic solution. The generic condition, which is open and dense, is given by an explicit condition on the averaged perturbation.     

Existence and global attractiveness of a pseudo almost periodic solution in p-th mean sense for stochastic evolution equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion

In this work, we establish a new concept of pseudo almost periodic processes in p-th mean sense using the measure theory. We use the μ-ergodic process to define the spaces of μ-pseudo almost periodic process in the p-th mean sense. We establish many interesting results on the functional space of such processes like completeness and composition theorems. The main objective of this paper is to use those results and some stochastic analysis approaches to study the existence, the uniqueness and the global attractiveness for a μ-pseudo almost periodic mild solution to a class of abstract stochastic evolution equations driven by fractional Brownian motion. We provide an example to illustrate our results.     

Finite-dimensional global attractor for a system modeling the 2D nematic liquid crystal flow

We consider a 2D system that models the nematic liquid crystal flow through the Navier–Stokes equations suitably coupled with a transport-reaction-diffusion equation for the averaged molecular orientations. This system has been proposed as a reasonable approximation of the well-known Ericksen–Leslie system. Taking advantage of previous well-posedness results and proving suitable dissipative estimates, here we show that the system endowed with periodic boundary conditions is a dissipative dynamical system with a smooth global attractor of finite fractal dimension.

We prove that for a uniformly convex Lagrangian system L on a compact manifold M, almost all energy levels contain a periodic orbit. We also prove that below Mañé's critical value of the lift of the Lagrangian to the universal cover, c _u (L), almost all energy levels have conjugate points. We in addition prove that if an energy level is of contact type, projects onto M and $M\ne{\mathbb T}^2We prove that for a uniformly convex Lagrangian system L on a compact manifold M, almost all energy levels contain a periodic orbit.

Optimal cyclic harvesting of renewable resource

The resource grows according to the logistic law, and is harvested by a single harvester periodically moving around the circle.     

Strong and weak orders in averaging for SPDEs

We show an averaging result for a system of stochastic evolution equations of parabolic type with slow and fast time scales. We derive explicit bounds for the approximation error with respect to the small parameter defining the fast time scale. We prove that the slow component of the solution of the system converges towards the solution of the averaged equation with an order of convergence 1/2 in a strong sense–approximation of trajectories–and 1 in a weak sense–approximation of laws. These orders turn out to be the same as for the SDE case.
