Abstract

The paper develops a weakly nonlinear theory of Poincare waves. The nondegeneracy of the Poincare wave dispersion law leads to the presence of resonant interactions in perturbation theory. A study of the dispersion relation of Poincare waves showed that three-wave interactions are absent in the quadratic nonlinear approximation. In this paper, a linear equation of the envelope is derived. A qualitative study of the dispersion law showed the existence of four-wave interactions of Poincare waves. Equations of nonlinear interactions of four waves for the amplitudes of Poincare waves are derived. The Manley-Rowe equations are obtained, which determine the distribution of energy and its transfer between interacting waves. The nonlinear dynamics of interacting waves is investigated. The saturation effect of Poincare waves, which is important for geophysical hydrodynamics, has been predicted. An analytical solution is obtained that describes the saturation effect of Poincare waves in time.

Routes to chaos in a mass-conserving two-species reaction-diffusion model

Mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems with two species correspond to a seemingly simple case where pattern formation occurs under the influence of a conservation law. Here, we first revisit their linear stability behavior and point out that generically two instabilities can occur: a stationary large-scale mass-conserving (Cahn-Hilliard) instability and an instability that combines features of a stationary large-scale non-mass-conserving (Allen-Cahn) instability and a oscillatory large-scale mass-conserving (conserved-Hopf) instability. We term it an Allen-Cahn-Hopf instability. Second, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics for a specific model related to the formation of cell polarization where only a Cahn-Hilliard instability can occur, i.e., all primary bifurcations are stationary. We analyze how secondary and further bifurcations subsequently give rise to various oscillatory states. The emerging rich spectrum of spatiotemporal behavior includes several period-doubling cascades related to different forms of spatial and temporal symmetry breaking. Beside regular states, three types of low-dimensional spatiotemporal chaos occur and involve transitions like fusion and an outer crises. Our results demonstrate the importance of nonlinear interactions in the dynamics of mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems, and show that even a simple two-species system with primary bifurcations of Cahn-Hilliard type can show complex spatiotemporal behavior.

Duck hunting with quantum mechanics

We bridge two sides of singular perturbation theory: the classical theory of slow-fast systems and the semi-classical approach to quantum mechanical systems. For a specific but physically important class of dynamical systems, we show that purely classical and exotic objects, so-called canard solutions, are shadows of instantons in the corresponding quantum system. We demonstrate that canard solutions exist in a domain of parameter space whose boundaries are determined by an instanton action. We illustrate our statements analytically for the relevant example, the overdamped Josephson junction, and confirm them numerically. For the Josephson junction, the canard window is the exponentially narrow gap between consecutive Shapiro steps.
