چکیده

We study a 4-fold symmetric kicked-oscillator map with sawtooth kick function. For the values of the kick amplitude λ = 2 cos(2πp/q) with rational p/q, the dynamics is known to be pseudochaotic, with no stochastic web of non-zero Lebesgue measure. We show that this system can be represented as a piecewise affine map of the unit square —the so-called local map— driving a lattice map. We develop a framework for the study of long-time behaviour of the orbits, in the case in which the local map features exact scaling. We apply this method to several quadratic irrational values of λ, for which the local map possesses a full Legesgue measure of periodic orbits; these are promoted to either periodic orbits or accelerator modes of the kickedoscillator map. By constrast, the aperiodic orbits of the local map can generate various asymptotic behaviours. For some parameter values the orbits remain bounded, while others have excursions which grow logarithmically or as a power of the time. In the power-law case, we derive rigorous criteria for asymptotic scaling, governed by the largest eigenvalue of a recursion matrix. We illustrate the various behaviours by performing exact calculations with algebraic numbers; the hierarchical nature of the symbolic dynamics allows us to sample extremely long orbits with high efficiency, i.e., uniformly on a logarithmic time scale.

Chaos in Cuspy Triaxial Galaxies with a Supermassive Black Hole: a Simple Toy Model

This paper summarises an investigation of chaos in a toy potential which mimics much of the behaviour observed for the more realistic triaxial generalisations of the Dehnen potentials, which have been used to model cuspy triaxial galaxies both with and without a supermassive black hole. The potential is the sum of an anisotropic harmonic oscillator potential, Vo = 12 (a 2x2 + b2y2 + c2z2), and ...

A New Dynamical Parameter for the Study of Sticky Orbits in a 3d Galactic Model

A 3D dynamical model is used to study the motion in the central parts of an elliptical galaxy, hosting a massive and dense nucleus. Our aim is to investigate the regular or chaotic character of the motion, with emphasis in the different chaotic components, as well as the sticky regions of the dynamical system. In order to define the character of the motion in the 2D system, we use the classical...

Squeezed state dynamics of kicked quantum systems

We study kicked quantum systems by using the squeezed state approach. Taking the kicked quantum harmonic oscillator as an example, we demonstrate that chaos in an underlying classical system can be enhanced as well as suppressed by quantum fluctuations. Three different energy diffusions are observed in the kicked quantum harmonic oscillator, namely, localization, linear diffusion, and quadratic...

Quantized orbits and resonant transport

A tight-binding representation of the kicked Harper model is used to obtain an integrable semiclassical Hamiltonian consisting of "quantized" bands of orbits. New bands appear when renormalized Harper parameters exceed integer multiples of pi/2. Orbits with frequencies commensurate with the kicking frequency are shown to correlate with classical accelerator modes in the original kicked problem....

A Kicked oscillator as a Model of a Pulsed MEMS System

Received (Day Month Year) Revised (Day Month Year) In this paper, we study the behaviour of a MEMS oscillator by applying methods of nonlin-ear dynamics. We model the system as a kicked damped oscillator and obtain the iterative maps that describe the MEMS system. The dynamics of the maps are studied numerically: we present a study of limit cycles and their rotation numbers and show how the con...
