Periodic Orbits for Some Systems of Delay Differential Equations

We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic orbits of some systems of delay differential equations with a unique delay. We extend Kaplan-Yorke＇s method for finding periodic orbits from a delay differential equation with several delays to a system of delay differential equations with a unique delay.     

Numerical Continuation of Hamiltonian Relative Periodic Orbits

The bifurcation theory and numerics of periodic orbits of general dynamical systems is well developed, and in recent years, there has been rapid progress in the development of a bifurcation theory for dynamical systems with structure, such as symmetry or symplecticity. But as yet, there are few results on the numerical computation of those bifurcations. The methods we present in this paper are a first step toward a systematic numerical analysis of generic bifurcations of Hamiltonian symmetric periodic orbits and relative periodic orbits (RPOs). First, we show how to numerically exploit spatio-temporal symmetries of Hamiltonian periodic orbits. Then we describe a general method for the numerical computation of RPOs persisting from periodic orbits in a symmetry breaking bifurcation. Finally, we present an algorithm for the numerical continuation of non-degenerate Hamiltonian relative periodic orbits with regular drift-momentum pair. Our path following algorithm is based on a multiple shooting algorithm for the numerical computation of periodic orbits via an adaptive Poincaré section and a tangential continuation method with implicit reparametrization. We apply our methods to continue the famous figure eight choreography of the three-body system. We find a relative period doubling bifurcation of the planar rotating eight family and compute the rotating choreographies bifurcating from it.      

Existence of infinitely many homoclinic orbits in discrete Hamiltonian systems

By using the Symmetric Mountain Pass Theorem, we establish some existence criteria to guarantee the second-order self-adjoint discrete Hamiltonian system Δ[p(n)Δu(n−1)]−L(n)u(n)+∇W(n,u(n))=0 has infinitely many homoclinic orbits, where n∈Z, u∈RN, p,L:Z→RN×N and W:Z×RN→R are no periodic in n. Our conditions on the potential W(n,x) are rather relaxed.     

Homoclinic orbits for Hamiltonian systems induced by impulses

In this paper, we consider a class of impulsive Hamiltonian systems with a p‐Laplacian operator. Under certain conditions, we establish the existence of homoclinic orbits by means of the mountain pass theorem and an approximation technique. In some special cases, the homoclinic orbits are induced by the impulses in the sense that the associated non‐impulsive systems admit no non‐trivial homoclinic orbits.

Multiple periodic orbits of asymptotically linear autonomous convex Hamiltonian systems

Existence of even homoclinic orbits for second-order Hamiltonian systems

Some existence theorems for even homoclinic orbits are obtained for a class of second-order nonautonomous Hamiltonian systems with symmetric potentials under a class of new superquadratic conditions. A homoclinic orbit is obtained as a limit of solutions of a certain sequence of nil-boundary-value problems which are obtained by the minimax methods.     

Continuation of relative periodic orbits in a class of triatomic Hamiltonian systems

We study relative periodic orbits (i.e. time-periodic orbits in a frame rotating at constant velocity) in a class of triatomic Euclidean-invariant (planar) Hamiltonian systems. The system consists of two identical heavy atoms and a light one, and the atomic mass ratio is treated as a continuation parameter. Under some nondegeneracy conditions, we show that a given family of relative periodic orbits existing at infinite mass ratio (and parametrized by phase, rotational degree of freedom and period) persists for sufficiently large mass ratio and for nearby angular velocities (this result is valid for small angular velocities). The proof is based on a method initially introduced by Sepulchre and MacKay [J.-A. Sepulchre, R.S. MacKay, Localized oscillations in conservative or dissipative networks of weakly coupled autonomous oscillators, Nonlinearity 10 (1997) 679–713] and further developed by Muñoz-Almaraz et al. [F.J. Muñoz-Almaraz, et al., Continuation of periodic orbits in conservative and Hamiltonian systems, Physica D 181 (2003) 1–38] for the continuation of normal periodic orbits in Hamiltonian systems. Our results provide several types of relative periodic orbits, which extend from small amplitude relative normal modes [J.-P. Ortega, Relative normal modes for nonlinear Hamiltonian systems, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A 133 (2003) 665–704] up to large amplitude solutions which are not restrained to a small neighborhood of a stable relative equilibrium. In particular, we show the existence of large amplitude motions of inversion, where the light atom periodically crosses the segment between heavy atoms. This analysis is completed by numerical results on the stability and bifurcations of some inversion orbits as their angular velocity is varied.

A sixth order diagonally implicit symmetric and symplectic Runge-Kutta method for solving Hamiltonian systems

The paper is concerned with construction of symmetric and symplectic Runge-Kutta methods for Hamiltonian systems. Based on the symplectic and symmetrical properties, a sixth-order diagonally implicit symmetric and symplectic Runge-Kutta method with seven stages is presented, the proposed method proved to be P-stable. Numerical experiments with some Hamiltonian oscillatory problems are presented to show the proposed method is as competitive as the existing Runge-Kutta methods in scientic literature.
