Action-gradient-minimizing pseudo-orbits and almost-invariant tori

Construction of Invariant Tori around Closed Orbits

The approach and methods introduced by McGill & Binney and Kaasalainen & Binney (Papers I and III), for the construction of phase-space tori that are approximate invariant tori of a given Hamiltonian, are generalized to include motion`trapped' around general closed orbits. This is accomplished by introducing point transformations that map the connguration space around a closed orbit in the targ...

Shadowing Pseudo-Orbits and Gradient Descent Noise Reduction

Shadowing trajectories are one of the most powerful ideas of modern dynamical systems theory, providing a tool for proving some central theorems and a means to assess the relevance of models and numerically computed trajectories of chaotic systems. Shadowing has also been seen to have a role in state estimation and forecasting of nonlinear systems. Shadowing trajectories are guaranteed to exist...

Pseudo-almost valuation rings

The aim of this paper is to generalize the‎‎notion of pseudo-almost valuation domains to arbitrary‎ ‎commutative rings‎. ‎It is shown that the classes of chained rings‎ ‎and pseudo-valuation rings are properly contained in the class of‎ ‎pseudo-almost valuation rings; also the class of pseudo-almost‎ ‎valuation rings is properly contained in the class of quasi-local‎ ‎rings with linearly ordere...

The Existence of Periodic Orbits and Invariant Tori for Some 3-Dimensional Quadratic Systems

We use the normal form theory, averaging method, and integral manifold theorem to study the existence of limit cycles in Lotka-Volterra systems and the existence of invariant tori in quadratic systems in ℝ(3).
