Abstract

The characterization of intermittent, multiscale and transient dynamics using data-driven analysis remains an open challenge. We demonstrate an application of the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) with sparse sampling for the diagnostic analysis of multiscale physics. The DMD method is an ideal spatiotemporal matrix decomposition that correlates spatial features of computational or experimental data to periodic temporal behavior. DMD can be modified into a multiresolution analysis to separate complex dynamics into a hierarchy of multiresolution timescale components, where each level of the hierarchy divides dynamics into distinct background (slow) and foreground (fast) timescales. The multiresolution DMD is capable of characterizing nonlinear dynamical systems in an equation-free manner by recursively decomposing the state of the system into low-rank spatial modes and their temporal Fourier dynamics. Moreover, these multiresolution DMD modes can be used to determined sparse sampling locations which are nearly optimal for dynamic regime classification and full state reconstruction. Specifically, optimized sensors are efficiently chosen using QR column pivots of the DMD library, thus avoiding an NP-hard selection process. We demonstrate the efficacy of the method on several examples, including global sea-surface temperature data, and show that only a small number of sensors are needed for accurate global reconstructions and classification of El Ni\~no events.

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.
