Does a billiard orbit determine its (polygonal) table?

Jozef Bobok, Serge Troubetzkoy (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We introduce a new equivalence relation on the set of all polygonal billiards. We say that two billiards (or polygons) are order equivalent if each of the billiards has an orbit whose footpoints are dense in the boundary and the two sequences of footpoints of these orbits have the same combinatorial order. We study this equivalence relation under additional regularity conditions on the orbit.

Doubling bifurcation of a closed invariant curve in 3D maps

Laura Gardini, Iryna Sushko (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

The object of the present paper is to give a qualitative description of the bifurcation mechanisms associated with a closed invariant curve in three-dimensional maps, leading to its doubling, not related to a standard doubling of tori. We propose an explanation on how a closed invariant attracting curve, born via Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, can be transformed into a repelling one giving birth to a new attracting closed invariant curve which has doubled...

Dubrovin Type Equations for Completely Integrable Systems Associated with a Polynomial Pencil

Yordanov, Russi (1998)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Dubrovin type equations for the N -gap solution of a completely integrable system associated with a polynomial pencil is constructed and then integrated to a system of functional equations. The approach used to derive those results is a generalization of the familiar process of finding the 1-soliton (1-gap) solution by integrating the ODE obtained from the soliton equation via the substitution u = u(x + λt).
