Marie Kargerová (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to Euclidean space motions with two straight trajectories on two given skew straight lines. It describes all motions from this class which have one more planar trajectory in a plane not parallel to the given lines. In the conclusion it given conditions under which such motions have further planar trajectories in planes not parallel to the given skew straight lines.

Given the plane triangle with vertices (0,0), (0,4) and (4,0) and the transformation F: (x,y) ↦ (x(4-x-y),xy) introduced by A. N. Sharkovskiĭ, we prove the existence of the following objects: a unique invariant curve of spiral type, a periodic trajectory of period 4 (given explicitly) and a periodic trajectory of period 5 (described approximately). Also, we give a decomposition of the triangle which helps to understand the global dynamics of this discrete system which is linked with...
