Abstract

Lagrangian Descriptors (LDs) are scalar quantities able to reveal separatrices, manifolds of hyperbolic saddles, and chaotic seas of dynamical systems. A popular version of the LDs consists in computing the arc-length of trajectories over a calibrated time-window. Herein we introduce and exploit an intrinsic geometrical parametrisation of LDs, free of the time variable, for 1 degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems. The parametrisation depends solely on the energy of the system and on the geometry of the associated level curve. We discuss applications of this framework on classical problems on the plane and cylinder, including the cat's eye, 8-shaped and fish-tail separatrices. The developed apparatus allows to characterise semi-analytically the rate at which the derivatives of the geometrical LDs become singular when approaching the separatrix. For the problems considered, the same power laws of divergence are found irrespective from the dynamical system. Some of our results are connected with existing estimates obtained with the temporal LDs under approximations. The geometrical formalism provides alternative insights of the mechanisms driving this dynamical indicator.

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.
