A brief introduction to the Conley index theory is presented. The emphasis is the fundamental ideas of Conley's approach to dynamical systems and how it avoids some of the difficulties inherent in the study of nonlinear systems.
We consider the following Hamiltonian equation on the Hardy space on the circle,where is the Szegő projector. This equation can be seen as a toy model for totally non dispersive evolution equations. We display a Lax pair structure for this equation. We prove that it admits an infinite sequence of conservation laws in involution, and that it can be approximated by a sequence of finite dimensional completely integrable Hamiltonian systems. We establish several instability phenomena illustrating...
The C. Neumann system describes a particle on the sphere S n under the influence of a potential that is a quadratic form. We study the case that the quadratic form has ℓ +1 distinct eigenvalues with multiplicity. Each group of m σ equal eigenvalues gives rise to an O(m σ)-symmetry in configuration space. The combined symmetry group G is a direct product of ℓ + 1 such factors, and its cotangent lift has an Ad*-equivariant momentum mapping. Regular reduction leads to the Rosochatius system on S ℓ,...
Consider a graph directed iterated function system (GIFS) on the line which consists of similarities. Assuming neither any separation conditions, nor any restrictions on the contractions, we compute the almost sure dimension of the attractor. Then we apply our result to give a partial answer to an open problem in the field of fractal image recognition concerning some self-affine graph directed attractors in space.
Let be a two-dimensional complex manifold and a holomorphic map. Let be a curve made of fixed points of , i.e. . We study the dynamics near in case acts as the identity on the normal bundle of the regular part of . Besides results of local nature, we prove that if is a globally and locally irreducible compact curve such that then there exists a point and a holomorphic -invariant curve with on the boundary which is attracted by under the action of . These results are achieved...
We study the dynamics of a map generated via geometric circle inversion. In particular, we define multiple circle inversion and investigate the dynamics of such maps and their corresponding Julia sets.
