Abstract

Nowadays there are a number of surveys and theoretical works devoted to the Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov dimension, however most of them are devoted to infinite dimensional systems or rely on special ergodic properties of the system. At the same time the provided illustrative examples are often finite dimensional systems and the rigorous proof of their ergodic properties can be a difficult task. Also the Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov dimension have become so widespread and common that they are often used without references to the rigorous definitions or pioneering works. The survey is devoted to the finite dimensional dynamical systems in Euclidean space and its aim is to explain, in a simple but rigorous way, the connection between the key works in the area: by Kaplan and Yorke (the concept of Lyapunov dimension, 1979), Douady and Oesterle (estimation of Hausdorff dimension via the Lyapunov dimension of maps, 1980), Constantin, Eden, Foias, and Temam (estimation of Hausdorff dimension via the Lyapunov exponents and dimension of dynamical systems, 1985-90), Leonov (estimation of the Lyapunov dimension via the direct Lyapunov method, 1991), and numerical methods for the computation of Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov dimension. In this survey a concise overview of the classical results is presented, various definitions of Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov dimension are discussed. An effective analytical method for the estimation of Lyapunov dimension is presented, its application to the self-excited and hidden attractors of well-known dynamical systems is demonstrated, and analytical formulas of exact Lyapunov dimension are obtained.

Asymmetry of a class of Mellin transforms

We introduce the quantity $μ_η$, defined for every complex $s$ in the critical strip, as a transformation of the Mellin transform associated to the functions $η$. We establish a sufficient condition on $η$ under which $μ_η(s)$ and $μ_η(1-s)$ cannot both vanish outside the critical line. An application is given to the case in which $η$ is the fractional part function, and the zeros of $μ_η$ coincide with the zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

Infinite Set of Resonances in the Linear Damped Oscillator Subject to Harmonic Forcing with Non-standard Frequency Modulation

It is shown that harmonic signals incorporating a type of weak non-standard frequency modulation (wNSFM) have interesting spectral properties, namely, time-dependent bandwidths that become increasingly broader with increasing time. As such, they represent a class of signals with frequency-time coupling in their spectra. Specifically, the weakly damped oscillator exhibits always two transient resonance captures involving two distinct harmonics possessing relatively high amplitudes over finite time intervals, while the overall response decays as $~t^{-1/2}$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$. Considering the undamped oscillator, it possesses two types of resonances, referred to as simple and non-simple resonances. Simple resonances correspond to finite-amplitude steady-state responses caused by two sustained resonance captures, in the form of two distinct modulated quasi-periodic responses, which, however are "activated" at different time instances. The necessary and sufficient conditions for non-simple resonances are given in the form of a theorem which predicts the existence of resonant harmonics and specifies the special phase conditions that the resonant harmonics must satisfy for constructive interference; the resulting undamped non-simple resonance grows unboundedly as $~t^{-1/2}$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$, in contrast to the classical resonance growth of the linear resonator with unmodulated harmonic excitation whose response grows as $~t$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$. These resonant responses are persistent to changes in the parameters of the wNSFM. Our results reveal interesting infinite sets of resonances in linear SDOF resonators under frequency-modulated excitations.
