Abstract

Nonlinear controlled plants with Bogdanov-Takens singularity may experience surprising changes in their number of equilibria, limit cycles and/or their stability types when the controllers slightly vary in the vicinity of critical parameter varieties. Each such a change is called a local bifurcation. We derive novel results with regards to truncated parametric normal form classification of the generalized cusp plants. Then, we suggest effective nonlinear bifurcation control law designs for precisely locating and accurately controlling many different types of bifurcations for two measurable plants from this family. The first is a general quadratic plant with a possible multi-input linear controller while the second is a Z_2-equivariant general plant with possible multi-input linear (Z_2-symmetry preserving) and quadratic (symmetry-breaking) controllers. The bifurcations include from primary to quinary bifurcations of either of the following types: saddle-node, transcritical and pitchfork of equilibria, Z_2-equivariant bifurcations of multiple limit cycles through Hopf, homoclinic, heteroclinic, saddle-node, and saddle-connection, and finally their one-parameter symmetry breaking bifurcations. Using our parametric normal form analysis, we propose a new approach for efficient treatment of tracking and regulating engineering problems with smooth manoeuvering possiblities. Due to the nonlinearity of a ship maneuvering characteristic, there is a need for a controller design in a ship steering system so that the ship follows a desired sea route. The results in bifurcation control analysis are applied to two nonlinear ship course models for such controller designs. Symbolic implementations in Maple and numerical simulations in MATLAB confirm our theoretical results and accurate predictions.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
