Localized defects in classical one-dimensional models

Several aspects of localized defects in the Frenkel-Kontorova, classicalXY chain and analogous models with a finite range of interactions are discussed from a general point of view. Precise definitions are given for defect phase shifts (charges) and for creation, pinning, and interaction energies. Corresponding definitions are also provided for interfaces (localized regions separating two phases). For the nearest-neighbor Frenkel-Kontorova model, the various defect energies are related to areas enclosed by contours joining heteroclinic points of the area-preserving map generated by the conditions of mechanical equilibrium.     

Dynamics of oscillators with periodic dichotomous noise

The dynamics of bistable oscillators driven by periodic dichotomous noise is described. The stochastic differential equation governing the flow implies smooth trajectories between noise switching events. The dynamics of the two-branched map induced by this flow is a Markov process. Harmonic and quartic models of the bistable potential are studied in the overdamped limit. In the linear (harmonic) case the dynamics can be reduced to a stochastic one-dimensional map with two branches. The moments decay exponentially in this case, although the invariant measure may be multifractal. For strong damping, relaxation induces a cascade leading to a Cantor set and anomalous decay of the density in this case is modeled by a Markov chain. For the physically more realistic case of a quartic potential many additional features arise since the contraction factor is distance dependent. By tuning the barrier-height parameter in the quartic potential, noise-induced transition rates with the characteristics of intermittency are found.

Local convergence of some iterative methods for generalized equations

We study generalized equations of the following form:

(render)

0f(x)+g(x)+F(x),

where f is Fréchet differentiable in a neighborhood of a solution x^* of (*) and g is Fréchet differentiable at x^* and where F is a set-valued map acting in Banach spaces. We prove the existence of a sequence (x_k) satisfying

which is super-linearly convergent to a solution of (*). We also present other versions of this iterative procedure that have superlinear and quadratic convergence, respectively.     

序列覆盖的闭映射保持可度量性

设f:X→Y是连续的满映射. f称为序列覆盖映射,若{y})是Y中的收敛序列,则存在X中的收敛序列{xn},使得每一xn∈f-1(yn);f称为1序列覆盖映射,若对于每-y∈Y,存在x∈f-1(y),使得如果{yn}是Y中收敛于点y的序列,则有X中收敛于点x的序列{xn},使得每一xn∈f-1(yn).本文研究度量空间序列覆盖的闭映射之构造,否定地回答了Topology and its Applications上提出的一个问题.     

Approximate fixed point sequences and convergence theorems for Lipschitz pseudocontractive maps

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Banach space and be a Lipschitz pseudocontractive self-map of with . An iterative sequence is constructed for which as . If, in addition, is assumed to be bounded, this conclusion still holds without the requirement that Moreover, if, in addition, has a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm and is such that every closed bounded convex subset of has the fixed point property for nonexpansive self-mappings, then the sequence converges strongly to a fixed point of . Our iteration method is of independent interest.

     

The loss of tightness of time distributions for homeomorphisms of the circle

For a minimal circle homeomorphism we study convergence in law of rescaled hitting time point process of an interval of length 0$">. Although the point process in the natural time scale never converges in law, we study all possible limits under a subsequence. The new feature is the fact that, for rotation numbers of unbounded type, there is a sequence going to zero exhibiting coexistence of two non-trivial asymptotic limit point processes depending on the choice of time scales used when rescaling the point process. The phenomenon of loss of tightness of the first hitting time distribution is an indication of this coexistence behaviour. Moreover, tightness occurs if and only if the rotation number is of bounded type. Therefore tightness of time distributions is an intrinsic property of badly approximable irrational rotation numbers.

     

Asymptotic properties of two interacting maps

In this paper we consider a system whose state x changes to (x) if a perturbation occurs at the time t, for . Moreover, the state x changes to the new state (x) at time t, for . It is assumed that the number of perturbations in an interval (0, t) is a Poisson process. Here and are measurable maps from a measure space into itself. We give conditions for the existence of a stationary distribution of the system when the maps and commute, and we prove that any stationary distribution is an invariant measure of these maps.
