Periodic orbits and chain-transitive sets of C1-diffeomorphisms

Sylvain Crovisier (2006)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Similarity:

We prove that the chain-transitive sets of C-generic diffeomorphisms are approximated in the Hausdorff topology by periodic orbits. This implies that the homoclinic classes are dense among the chain-recurrence classes. This result is a consequence of a global connecting lemma, which allows to build by a C-perturbation an orbit connecting several prescribed points. One deduces a weak shadowing property satisfied by C-generic diffeomorphisms: any pseudo-orbit is approximated in the Hausdorff...

Invariant tori for periodically perturbed oscillators.

Carmen Chicone (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

The response of an oscillator to a small amplitude periodic excitation is discussed. In particular, sufficient conditions are formulated for the perturbed oscillator to have an invariant torus in the phase cylinder. When such an invariant torus exists, some perturbed solutions are in the basin of attraction of this torus and are thus entrained to the dynamical behavior of the perturbed system on the torus. In particular, the perturbed solutions in the basin of attraction of the invariant...

Devil's staircase route to chaos in a forced relaxation oscillator

Lluis Alsedà, Antonio Falcó (1994)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We use one-dimensional techniques to characterize the Devil’s staircase route to chaos in a relaxation oscillator of the van der Pol type with periodic forcing term. In particular, by using symbolic dynamics, we give the behaviour for certain range of parameter values of a Cantor set of solutions having a certain rotation set associated to a rational number. Finally, we explain the phenomena observed experimentally in the system by Kennedy, Krieg and Chua (in [10]) related with the appearance...

Periodic billiard orbits in right triangles

Serge Troubetzkoy (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

There is an open set of right triangles such that for each irrational triangle in this set (i) periodic billiards orbits are dense in the phase space, (ii) there is a unique nonsingular perpendicular billiard orbit which is not periodic, and (iii) the perpendicular periodic orbits fill the corresponding invariant surface.
