The n -centre problem of celestial mechanics for large energies

Andreas Knauf (2002)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the classical three-dimensional motion in a potential which is the sum of n attracting or repelling Coulombic potentials. Assuming a non-collinear configuration of the n centres, we find a universal behaviour for all energies E above a positive threshold. Whereas for n = 1 there are no bounded orbits, and for n = 2 there is just one closed orbit, for n 3 the bounded orbits form a Cantor set. We analyze the symbolic dynamics and estimate Hausdorff dimension and topological entropy of this hyperbolic set....

The steepest descent dynamical system with control. Applications to constrained minimization

Alexandre Cabot (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Let H be a real Hilbert space, Φ 1 : H a convex function of class 𝒞 1 that we wish to minimize under the convex constraint S . A classical approach consists in following the trajectories of the generalized steepest descent system (cf. Brézis [5]) applied to the non-smooth function Φ 1 + δ S . Following Antipin [1], it is also possible to use a continuous gradient-projection system. We propose here an alternative method as follows: given a smooth convex function Φ 0 : H whose critical points coincide with S and a control...

Let H be a real Hilbert space, Φ 1 : H a convex function of class 𝒞 1 that we wish to minimize under the convex constraint S.

Time to the convergence of evolution in the space of population states

Iwona Karcz-Dulęba (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Phenotypic evolution of two-element populations with proportional selection and normally distributed mutation is considered. Trajectories of the expected location of the population in the space of population states are investigated. The expected location of the population generates a discrete dynamical system. The study of its fixed points, their stability and time to convergence is presented. Fixed points are located in the vicinity of optima and saddles. For large values of the standard deviation...
