Homoclinic orbits in a two-patch predator-prey model with Preisach hysteresis operator

Alexander Pimenov, Dmitrii Rachinskii (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

Systems of operator-differential equations with hysteresis operators can have unstable equilibrium points with an open basin of attraction. Such equilibria can have homoclinic orbits attached to them, and these orbits are robust. In this paper a population dynamics model with hysteretic response of the prey to variations of the predator is introduced. In this model the prey moves between two patches, and the derivative of the Preisach operator is used to describe the hysteretic flow between the...

Homogeneous polynomial vector fields of degree 2 on the 2-dimensional sphere.

Jaume Llibre, Claudio Pessoa (2006)

Extracta Mathematicae

Let X be a homogeneous polynomial vector field of degree 2 on S2 having finitely many invariant circles. Then, we prove that each invariant circle is a great circle of S2, and at most there are two invariant circles. We characterize the global phase portrait of these vector fields. Moreover, we show that if X has at least an invariant circle then it does not have limit cycles.

Homology of origamis with symmetries

Carlos Matheus, Jean-Christophe Yoccoz, David Zmiaikou (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Given an origami (square-tiled surface) M with automorphism group Γ , we compute the decomposition of the first homology group of M into isotypic Γ -submodules. Through the action of the affine group of M on the homology group, we deduce some consequences for the multiplicities of the Lyapunov exponents of the Kontsevich-Zorich cocycle. We also construct and study several families of interesting origamis illustrating our results.

Homotopical dynamics of gradient flows

Octavian Cornea (1998)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we will be interested in results surrounding the following basic question: what are the homotopy properties that one can extract from a gradient flow? We approach this question by decomposing it into three parts: 1. Identify what are the homotopical objects that are provided by the flow (e.g. critical points, Conley indexes). 2. Discover what are the relations that have to be satisfied by these objects (e.g. Morse inequalities, Lusternik-Schnirelmann type inequalities). 3. (The Realizability...

Homotopy and dynamics for homeomorphisms of solenoids and Knaster continua

Jarosław Kwapisz (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We describe the homotopy classes of self-homeomorphisms of solenoids and Knaster continua. In particular, we demonstrate that homeomorphisms within one homotopy class have the same (explicitly given) topological entropy and that they are actually semi-conjugate to an algebraic homeomorphism in the case when the entropy is positive.
