Abstract

Bolted joints can exhibit nonsmooth and significantly nonlinear dynamics. Finite Element Models (FEMs) of this phenomenon require fine spatial discretizations, inclusion of nonlinear contact and friction laws, as well as geometric nonlinearity. Owing to the nonlinearity and high dimensionality of such models, full-order dynamic simulations are computationally expensive. In this work, we use the theory of Spectral Submanifolds (SSMs) to construct a data-driven, smoothed reduced model for a 187,920-dimensional FEM model of a broadly studied Tribomechadynamics benchmark structure with bolted joints. We train the 4-dimensional reduced model using only a few transient trajectories of the full unforced FEM model. We show that this smooth model accurately predicts the experimentally observed nonlinear forced response of the full nonsmooth benchmark problem.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
