The shadowing chain lemma for singular Hamiltonian systems involving strong forces

Marek Izydorek, Joanna Janczewska (2012)

Open Mathematics

We consider a planar autonomous Hamiltonian system :q+∇V(q) = 0, where the potential V: ℝ2 {ζ→ ℝ has a single well of infinite depth at some point ζ and a strict global maximum 0at two distinct points a and b. Under a strong force condition around the singularity ζ we will prove a lemma on the existence and multiplicity of heteroclinic and homoclinic orbits - the shadowing chain lemma - via minimization of action integrals and using simple geometrical arguments.

The size of the chain recurrent set for generic maps on an n-dimensional locally (n-1)-connected compact space

Katsuya Yokoi (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For n ≥ 1, given an n-dimensional locally (n-1)-connected compact space X and a finite Borel measure μ without atoms at isolated points, we prove that for a generic (in the uniform metric) continuous map f:X → X, the set of points which are chain recurrent under f has μ-measure zero. The same is true for n = 0 (skipping the local connectedness assumption).

The squares of the Laplacian-Dirichlet eigenfunctions are generically linearly independent

Yannick Privat, Mario Sigalotti (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The paper deals with the genericity of domain-dependent spectral properties of the Laplacian-Dirichlet operator. In particular we prove that, generically, the squares of the eigenfunctions form a free family. We also show that the spectrum is generically non-resonant. The results are obtained by applying global perturbations of the domains and exploiting analytic perturbation properties. The work is motivated by two applications: an existence result for the problem of maximizing the rate of...

The tiered Aubry set for autonomous Lagrangian functions

Marie-Claude Arnaud (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let L : T M be a Tonelli Lagrangian function (with M compact and connected and dim M 2 ). The tiered Aubry set (resp. Mañé set) 𝒜 T ( L ) (resp. 𝒩 T ( L ) ) is the union of the Aubry sets (resp. Mañé sets) 𝒜 ( L + λ ) (resp. 𝒩 ( L + λ ) ) for λ closed 1-form. Then1.the set 𝒩 T ( L ) is closed, connected and if dim H 1 ( M ) 2 , its intersection with any energy level is connected and chain transitive;2.for L generic in the Mañé sense, the sets 𝒜 T ( L ) ¯ and 𝒩 T ( L ) ¯ have no interior;3.if the interior of 𝒜 T ( L ) ¯ is non empty, it contains a dense subset of periodic points.We then give an example...

Topological conjugacy of cascades generated by gradient flows on the two-dimensional sphere

Andrzej Bielecki (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This article presents a theorem about the topological conjugacy of a gradient dynamical system with a constant time step and the cascade generated by its Euler method. It is shown that on the two-dimensional sphere S² the gradient dynamical flow is, under some natural assumptions, correctly reproduced by the Euler method for a sufficiently small time step. This means that the time-map of the induced dynamical system is globally topologically conjugate to the discrete dynamical system obtained via...
