On the universality of void density profiles
2014
The massive exploitation of cosmic voids for precision cosmology in the upcoming dark energy experiments, requires a robust understanding of their internal structure, particularly of their density profile. We show that the void density profile is insensitive to the void radius both in a catalogue of observed voids and in voids from a large cosmological simulation. However, the observed and simulated voids display remarkably different profile shapes, with the former having much steeper profiles than the latter. Sparsity can not be the main reason for this discrepancy, as we demonstrate that the profile can be recovered with reasonable accuracy even with very sparse samples of tracers. On the…
Universality classes for wetting in two-dimensional random-bond systems
1991
Interface-unbinding transitions, such as those arising in wetting phenomena, are studied in two-dimensional systems with quenched random impurities and general interactions. Three distinct universality classes or scaling regimes are investigated using scaling arguments and extensive transfer-matrix calculations. Both the critical exponents and the critical amplitudes are determined for the weak- and the strong-fluctuation regime. In the borderline case of the intermediate-fluctuation regime, the asymptotic regime is not accessible to numerical simulations. We also find strong evidence for a nontrivial delocalization transition of an interface that is pinned to a line of defects.
Quasienergy states of trapped ions
2000
The quantum models for a single trapped ion are extended to the description of the collective dynamics for systems of ions confined in quadrupole electromagnetic traps with cylindrical symmetry. A class of quantum Hamiltonians with suitable axial and radial interaction potentials given by homogeneous functions of degree (-2) and invariant under translations and axial rotations are introduced. The considered axial and radial quantum Hamiltonians for the center-of-mass and relative motions are described by collective dynamical systems associated to the symplectic group \(\). Discrete quasienergy spectra are obtained and the corresponding quasienergy states are explicitly realized as \(\) cohe…
The Action Principles in Mechanics
2001
We begin this chapter with the definition of the action functional as time integral over the Lagrangian \(L(q_{i}(t),\dot{q}_{i}(t);t)\) of a dynamical system: $$\displaystyle{ S\left \{[q_{i}(t)];t_{1},t_{2}\right \} =\int _{ t_{1}}^{t_{2} }dt\,L(q_{i}(t),\dot{q}_{i}(t);t)\;. }$$
Hidden Oscillations In The Closed-Loop Aircraft-Pilot System And Their Prevention* *This work was supported by Russian Science Foundation (project 14…
2016
Abstract The paper is devoted to studying and prevention of a special kind of oscillations-the Pilot Involved Oscillations (PIOs) which may appear in man-machine closed-loop dynamical systems. The PIO of categories II and III are defined as essentially non-linear unintended steady fluctuations of the piloted aircraft, generated due to pilot efforts to control the aircraft with a high precision. The main non-linear factor leading to the PIO is, generally, rate limitations of the aircraft control surfaces, resulting in a delay in the response of the aircraft to pilot commands. In many cases, these oscillations indicate presence of hidden, rather than self-excited attractors in the aircraft-pi…
Infinite orbit depth and length of Melnikov functions
2019
Abstract In this paper we study polynomial Hamiltonian systems d F = 0 in the plane and their small perturbations: d F + ϵ ω = 0 . The first nonzero Melnikov function M μ = M μ ( F , γ , ω ) of the Poincare map along a loop γ of d F = 0 is given by an iterated integral [3] . In [7] , we bounded the length of the iterated integral M μ by a geometric number k = k ( F , γ ) which we call orbit depth. We conjectured that the bound is optimal. Here, we give a simple example of a Hamiltonian system F and its orbit γ having infinite orbit depth. If our conjecture is true, for this example there should exist deformations d F + ϵ ω with arbitrary high length first nonzero Melnikov function M μ along…
Blenders near polynomial product maps of $\mathbb C^2$
2021
In this paper we show that if $p$ is a polynomial which bifurcates then the product map $(z,w)\mapsto(p(z),q(w))$ can be approximated by polynomial skew products possessing special dynamical objets called blenders. Moreover, these objets can be chosen to be of two types : repelling or saddle. As a consequence, such product map belongs to the closure of the interior of two different sets : the bifurcation locus of $H_d(\mathbb P^2)$ and the set of endomorphisms having an attracting set of non-empty interior. In an independent part, we use perturbations of H\'enon maps to obtain examples of attracting sets with repelling points and also of quasi-attractors which are not attracting sets.
Pseudo-abelian integrals: Unfolding generic exponential case
2009
The search for bounds on the number of zeroes of Abelian integrals is motivated, for instance, by a weak version of Hilbert's 16th problem (second part). In that case one considers planar polynomial Hamiltonian perturbations of a suitable polynomial Hamiltonian system, having a closed separatrix bounding an area filled by closed orbits and an equilibrium. Abelian integrals arise as the first derivative of the displacement function with respect to the energy level. The existence of a bound on the number of zeroes of these integrals has been obtained by A. N. Varchenko [Funktsional. Anal. i Prilozhen. 18 (1984), no. 2, 14–25 ; and A. G. Khovanskii [Funktsional. Anal. i Prilozhen. 18 (1984), n…
Vanishing Abelian integrals on zero-dimensional cycles
2011
In this paper we study conditions for the vanishing of Abelian integrals on families of zero-dimensional cycles. That is, for any rational function $f(z)$, characterize all rational functions $g(z)$ and zero-sum integers $\{n_i\}$ such that the function $t\mapsto\sum n_ig(z_i(t))$ vanishes identically. Here $z_i(t)$ are continuously depending roots of $f(z)-t$. We introduce a notion of (un)balanced cycles. Our main result is an inductive solution of the problem of vanishing of Abelian integrals when $f,g$ are polynomials on a family of zero-dimensional cycles under the assumption that the family of cycles we consider is unbalanced as well as all the cycles encountered in the inductive proce…
Generalised power series solutions of sub-analytic differential equations
2006
Abstract We show that if a solution y ( x ) of a sub-analytic differential equation admits an asymptotic expansion ∑ i = 1 ∞ c i x μ i , μ i ∈ R + , then the exponents μ i belong to a finitely generated semi-group of R + . We deduce a similar result for the components of non-oscillating trajectories of real analytic vector fields in dimension n. To cite this article: M. Matusinski, J.-P. Rolin, C. R. Acad. Sci.
