A basic requirement for on-off intermittency to occur is that the system possesses an invariant subspace. We address how on-off intermittency manifests itself when a perturbation destroys the invariant subspace. In particular, we distinguish between situations where the threshold for measuring the on-off intermittency in numerical or physical experiments is much larger than or is comparable to ...

We show how Ptak’s duality method leads to short proofs of two extensions of the Jordan canonical form, viz. the normal form for a matrix over an arbitrary (not necessarily algebraically closed) field under similarity and the canonical form for a pair of matrices under contragredient equivalence. The duality method is summarized in the following. Lemma. Let V be a finite-dimensional space over ...

We investigate the bifurcation mechanism for the loss of transverse stability of the chaotic attractor in an invariant subspace in an asymmetric dynamical system. It is found that a direct transition to global riddling occurs through a transcritical contact bifurcation between a periodic saddle embedded in the chaotic attractor on the invariant subspace and a repeller on its basin boundary. Thi...

The Continuation of Invariant Subspaces (CIS) algorithm produces a smoothly varying basis for an invariant subspace R(s) of a parameter-dependent matrix A(s). In the case when A(s) is the Jacobian matrix for a system that comes from a spatial discretization of a partial differential equation, it will typically be large and sparse. Cl matcont is a user-friendly matlab package for the study of dy...

We propose a Newton-like iteration that evolves on the set of fixed dimensional subspaces of Rn and converges locally cubically to the invariant subspaces of a symmetric matrix. This iteration is compared in terms of numerical cost and global behavior with three other methods that display the same property of cubic convergence. Moreover, we consider heuristics that greatly improve the global be...

In this paper, we present an invariant subspace attack against block cipher Midori64 which has recently been proposed by Banik et al. at Asiacrypt 2015 to achieve low energy consumption. We show that when each nibble of the key has the value 0 or 1 and each nibble of the plaintext has the value 8 or 9, each nibble of the ciphertext also has the value 8 or 9 with probability one regardless of th...
