Abstract

We study measure-theoretical aspects of torus piecewise isometries. Not much is known about this type of dynamical systems, except for the special case of one-dimensional interval exchange mappings. The last case is fundamentally different from the general situation in the presence of an invariant measure (Lebesgue measure), which helps a lot in the analysis. Due to the absence of good methods of analysis of general systems with discontinuities, even the existence of invariant measures of the torus piecewise isometries was an open question. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence/absence of invariant measures for this class of systems. Technically, our results are based on the approximation of the maps under study by weakly periodic ones.

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.
