We show that heterodimensional cycles can be born at the bifurcations of a pair of homoclinic loops to a saddle-focus equilibrium for flows in dimension 4 and higher. In addition to the classical heterodimensional connection between two periodic orbits, we found, in intermediate steps, two new types of heterodimensional connections: one is a heteroclinic between a homoclinic loop and a periodic...

The existence of periodic orbit bunches is proven for the diamagnetic Kepler problem. Members of each bunch are reconnected differently at self-encounters in phase space but have nearly equal classical action and stability parameters. Orbits can be grouped already on the level of the symbolic dynamics by application of appropriate reconnection rules to the symbolic code in the ternary alphabet....

A chemostat with two organisms competing for a single growthlimiting nutrient controlled by feedback-mediated dilution rate is analyzed. A specific feedback function is constructed which yields circular and elliptical periodic orbits for the limiting system. A theorem on the stabilization of periodic orbits in conservative systems is developed and for a given elliptical orbit, the result is use...

A general technique for the periodic orbit quantization of systems with near-integrable to mixed regular chaotic dynamics is introduced. A small set of periodic orbits is sufficient for the construction of the semiclassical recurrence function up to, in principle, infinite length. As in our recent work the recurrence signal is inverted by means of a high resolution spectral analyzer (harmonic i...

In the mathematical framework of a restricted, slightly dissipative spin– orbit model, we prove the existence of periodic orbits for astronomical parameter values corresponding to all satellites of the Solar System observed in exact spin–orbit resonance.

Densities of states weighted with the diagonal matrix elements of two operators A and B, i.e., rho(A,B)(E)= summation operator(n)delta(E-E(n)), cannot, in general, be written as a trace formula, and therefore no simple extension of semiclassical trace formulas is known for this case. However, from the high resolution analysis of quantum spectra in the semiclassical regime we find stro...

We give explicit differential equations for a symmetric Hamiltonian vector field near a relative periodic orbit. These decompose the dynamics into periodically forced motion in a Poincaré section transversal to the relative periodic orbit, which in turn forces motion along the group orbit. The structure of the differential equations inherited from the symplectic structure and symmetry propertie...

We consider how the period of an oscillator is affected by white noise, with special attention given to the cases of additive noise and parameter fluctuations. Our treatment is based upon the concepts of isochrons, which extend the notion of the phase of a stable periodic orbit to the basin of attraction of the periodic orbit, and phase response curves, which can be used to understand the geome...

We study the effect of dynamical tunneling on emission from ray-chaotic microcavities by introducing a suitably designed deformed disk cavity. We focus on its high quality factor modes strongly localized along a stable periodic ray orbit confined by total internal reflection. It is shown that dominant emission originates from the tunneling from the periodic ray orbit to chaotic ones; the latter...

Quantum graphs have recently been introduced as model systems to study the spectral statistics of linear wave problems with chaotic classical limits. It is proposed here to generalise this approach by considering arbitrary, directed graphs with unitary transfer matrices. An exponentially increasing contribution to the form factor is identified when performing a diagonal summation over periodic ...
