Phase Space Structure of Nonautonomous One-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian Systems with Nontrivial Time Dependence
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been recently argued that near-integrable nonautonomous one-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems are constrained by KAM theory even when the time-dependent (nonintegrable) part of the Hamiltonian is given in the form of a superposition of time-periodic functions with incommensurate frequencies. Furthermore, such systems are constrained by one fewer integral of motion than is required to render the system completely integrable. As a consequence, the phase space in systems of this type is expected to be partitioned into nonintersecting regular and chaotic regions. In this note we provide numerical evidence of the existence of such a characteristic mixed phase space structure. This is done by considering the problem of acoustic ray dynamics in deep ocean environments, which is naturally described as a nonautonomous one-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system with a multiply periodic Hamiltonian in the independent (time-like) variable. Also, we discuss the implications of a mixed phase space for the dynamics of that geophysical system and another one which describes Lagrangian motion in the ocean. The latter is also naturally described as a nonautonomous one-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system with a multiply time-periodic Hamiltonian.

Free Vibration Analysis of a Six-degree-of-freedom Mass-spring System Suitable for Dynamic Vibration Absorbing of Space Frames
This study is concentrated on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a simple three-member space frame coupled with a dynamic vibration absorber.

For the first time, the free vibration of an elastic structure with a six-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system is found. Each member of the space frame has un...
متن کاملA Geometrical Model for Stagnant Motions in Hamiltonian Systems with Many Degrees of Freedom
We introduce a model of Poincaré mappings which represents hierarchical structure of phase spaces for systems with many degrees of freedom. The model yields residence time distribution of power type, hence temporal correlation remains long. The power law behavior is enhanced as the system size increases. Introduction In many Hamiltonian systems 1/f (0 < ν < 2) power spectra and long time tail h...
متن کاملQuasiperiodic Motion in the Hamiltonian Systems of the Billiard Type
It is shown that two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems of the billiard type are equivalent to adiabatically varying one-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems for solutions staying near the boundary. Under some nondegeneracy conditions such systems possess a large set of quasiperiodic solutions filling out two-dimensional invariant tori. The latter separate the extended phase space into laye...
متن کاملA Non-Existence Result for Hamiltonian Integrators
We consider the numerical simulation of Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations. Two features of Hamiltonian systems are that energy is conserved along trajectories and phase space volume is preserved by the flow. We want to determine if there are integration schemes that preserve these two properties for all Hamiltonian systems, or at least for all systems in a wide class. This ...

We present a new method of frequency analysis for Hamiltonian Systems of 3 degrees of freedom and more. The method is based on the concept of instantaneous frequency extracted numerically from the continuous wavelet transform of the trajectories. Knowing the time-evolution of the frequencies of a given trajectory, we can define a frequency map, resonances, and diffusion in frequency space as an...
