Existence of periodic orbits for high-dimensional autonomous systems

We give a result on existence of periodic orbits for autonomous differential systems with arbitrary finite dimension. It is based on a Poincaré-Bendixson property enjoyed by a new class of monotone systems introduced in [L.A. Sanchez, Cones of rank 2 and the Poincaré-Bendixson property for a new class of monotone systems, J. Differential Equations 216 (2009) 1170-1190]. A concrete application is done to a scalar differential equation of order 4.     

Dynamics of Kolmogorov systems of competitive type under the telegraph noise

This paper studies the dynamics of Kolmogorov systems of competitive type under the telegraph noise. The telegraph noise switches at random two Kolmogorov competition-type deterministic models. The aim of this work is to describe the omega-limit set of the system and investigates properties of stationary density.     

Rank deficiency and superstability of hybrid systems

The objectives of this paper are to study the rank properties of flows of hybrid systems, show that they are fundamentally different from those of smooth dynamical systems, and to consider applications that emphasize the importance of these differences. It is well known that the flow of a smooth dynamical system has rank equal to the space on which it evolves. We prove that, in contrast, the rank of a solution to a hybrid system, a hybrid execution, is always less than the dimension of the space on which it evolves and in fact falls within possibly distinct upper and lower bounds that can be computed explicitly. The main contribution of this work is the derivation of conditions for when an execution fails to have maximal rank, i.e., when it is rank deficient. Given the importance of periodic behavior in many hybrid systems applications, for example in bipedal robots, these conditions are applied to the special case of periodic hybrid executions. Finally, we use the rank deficiency conditions to derive superstability conditions describing when periodic executions have rank equal to 0, that is, we determine when the execution is completely insensitive to perturbations in initial conditions. The results of this paper are illustrated on three separate applications, two of which are models of bipedal walking robots: the classical single-domain planar compass biped and the two-domain planar kneed biped.     

The Falkner-Skan Equation II: Dynamics and the Bifurcations of P- and Q-Orbits

The Falkner-Skan equation is a reversible three-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations with two distinguished straight-line trajectories which form a heteroclinic loop between fixed points at infinity. We showed in the previous paper (1995, J. Differential Equations119, 336-394) that at positive integer values of the parameter λ there are bifurcations creating large sets of periodic and other interesting trajectories. Here we show that all but two of these trajectories are destroyed in another sequence of bifurcations as λ→∞, and by considering topological invariants and orderings on certain manifolds we obtain unusually detailed information about the sequences of bifurcations which can occur.     

Random periodic solutions of random dynamical systems

In this paper, we give the definition of the random periodic solutions of random dynamical systems. We prove the existence of such periodic solutions for a C¹ perfect cocycle on a cylinder using a random invariant set, the Lyapunov exponents and the pullback of the cocycle.     

Convexity of the carrying simplex for discrete-time planar competitive Kolmogorov systems

We consider the geometry of carrying simplices of discrete-time competitive Kolmogorov systems. An existence theorem for the carrying simplex based upon the Hadamard graph transform is developed, and conditions for when the transform yields a sequence of convex or concave graphs are determined. As an application it is shown that the planar Leslie–Gower model has a carrying simplex that is convex or concave.     

Kolmogorov condition near hyperbolic singularities of integrable Hamiltonian systems

In this paper we show that, if an integrable Hamiltonian system admits a nondegenerate hyperbolic singularity then it will satisfy the Kolmogorov condegeneracy condition near that singularity (under a mild additional condition, which is trivial if the singularity contains a fixed point).      

Stabilizing periodic orbits of fractional order chaotic systems via linear feedback theory

In this paper stabilizing unstable periodic orbits (UPO) in a chaotic fractional order system is studied. Firstly, a technique for finding unstable periodic orbits in chaotic fractional order systems is stated. Then by applying this technique to the fractional van der Pol and fractional Duffing systems as two demonstrative examples, their unstable periodic orbits are found. After that, a method is presented for stabilization of the discovered UPOs based on the theories of stability of linear integer order and fractional order systems. Finally, based on the proposed idea a linear feedback controller is applied to the systems and simulations are done for demonstration of controller performance.     

Dynamics analysis of a class of planar systems with time-varying delays

This paper formulates and studies a model of planar systems. The model can well describe many practical architectures of delayed neural networks, which is generalization of some existing neural networks under a time-varying environment. Without assuming the smoothness, monotonicity and boundedness of the activation functions, the existence and global exponential stability of its periodic solutions are investigated. Some explicit and conclusive results are established. Our approach is based on the continuation theorem of the coincidence degree, a priori estimates, and differential inequalities.     

On the notion of persistence of excitation for linear switched systems

The paper formulates the concept of persistence of excitation for discrete-time linear switched systems, and provides sufficient conditions for an input signal to be persistently exciting. Persistence of excitation is formulated as a property of the input signal, and it is not tied to any specific identification algorithm. The results of the paper rely on realization theory and on the notion of Markov-parameters for linear switched systems.     

Existence of periodic weak solutions to the three-dimensional nonlinear viscoelastic system

In this paper, we discuss the time-periodic solutions to a general three-dimensional nonlinear viscoelastic system with Dirichlet boundary condition. Employing the singularity of the integral kernel, we obtain the energy estimates in Sobolev spaces with fractional index and then show the existence of time-periodic solutions to the problem for viscoelastic solid and liquid models, respectively.     

Local Darboux first integrals of analytic differential systems

We discuss local and formal Darboux first integrals of analytic differential systems, using the theory of Poincaré–Dulac normal forms, and we study the effect of local Darboux integrability on analytic normalization. Moreover we determine local restrictions on classical Darboux integrability of polynomial systems.     

Poincaré Series of the Weyl Groups of the Elliptic Root Systems A 1 (1,1), A 1 (1,1)* and A 2 (1,1)

We calculate the Poincaré series of the elliptic Weyl group W(A ₂ ^(1,1)), which is the Weyl group of the elliptic root system of type A ₂ ^(1,1). The generators and relations of W(A ₂ ^(1,1)) have been already given by K. Saito and the author.     

Existence of periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with super-linear and sign-changing nonlinearities

In this paper, we consider the existence of periodic solutions for the super quadratic second order Hamiltonian system, and primitive functions of nonlinearities are allowed to be sign-changing. By using some weaker conditions, our result extends and improves some existed results in the literature.     

非自治Kolmogorov竞争系统的严格正解

In this paper, the existence of strictly positive solutions for N species normutonomous Kolmogorov competition systems is studied. By applying the Schauder‘s flxed pointtheorem some new sufficient conditions are established. In particular, for the almost periodicsystem, tile existence of strictly positive almost periodic solutiorts is obtained, Some previousresults are improved and generalized.     

Construction of form factors of composite systems by a generalized Wigner-Eckart theorem for the Poincaré group

We generalize the previously developed relativistic approach for electroweak properties of two-particle composite systems to the case of nonzero spin. This approach is based on the instant form of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics. We use a special mathematical technique to parameterize matrix elements of electroweak current operators in terms of form factors. The parameterization is a realization of the generalized Wigner-Eckart theorem for the Poincaré group, used when considering composite-system form factors as distributions corresponding to reduced matrix elements. The electroweak-current matrix element satisfies the relativistic covariance conditions and also automatically satisfies the conservation law in the case of an electromagnetic current.__________Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 143, No. 2, pp. 258–277, May, 2005.
