Van der Corput sets in d

Vitaly Bergelson, Emmanuel Lesigne (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In this partly expository paper we study van der Corput sets in d , with a focus on connections with harmonic analysis and recurrence properties of measure preserving dynamical systems. We prove multidimensional versions of some classical results obtained for d = 1 by Kamae and M. Mendès France and by Ruzsa, establish new characterizations, introduce and discuss some modifications of van der Corput sets which correspond to various notions of recurrence, provide numerous examples and formulate some...

Variational characterization of equations of motion in bundles of embeddings.

Hernán Cendra, Ernesto A. Lacomba (1989)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this paper we study variational principles for a general situation which includes free boundary problems with surface tension. Following [2], our main result concerns a variational principle in a infinite dimensional principal bundle of embeddings of a compact region D in a manifold M having the same dimension as D. By considering arbitrary variations, free boundary problems are included, while variations parallel to the boundary permit to consider fluid motion or flow of Hamiltonian vector fields...

Variational construction of homoclinics and chaos in presence of a saddle-saddle equilibrium

Massimiliano Berti, Philippe Bolle (1998)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We consider autonomous Lagrangian systems possessing two homoclinic orbits to an hyperbolic equilibrium of saddle-saddle type with two different characteristic exponents. Under a nondegeneracy assumption on the homoclinics and under suitable conditions on the geometric behaviour of these homoclinics near the equilibrium we show, by variational methods, that they give rise to an infinite family of multibump homoclinic solutions. We relax the nondegeneracy assumption when the two characteristic exponents...
