Dynamics near nonhyperbolic fixed points or nontransverse homoclinic points

2 01 1 Dynamics near nonhyperbolic fixed points or nontransverse homoclinic points Sergey

We study dynamics in a neighborhood of a nonhyperbolic fixed point or an irreducible homoclinic tangent point. General type conditions for the existence of infinite sets of periodic points are obtained. A new method, based on the study of the dynamics of center disks, is introduced. Some results on shadowing near a non-hyperbolic fixed point of a homeomorphism are obtained.

On the Computation of Nonhyperbolic Fixed Points

Structure of stochastic dynamics near fixed points.

We analyze the structure of stochastic dynamics near either a stable or unstable fixed point, where the force can be approximated by linearization. We find that a cost function that determines a Boltzmann-like stationary distribution can always be defined near it. Such a stationary distribution does not need to satisfy the usual detailed balance condition but might have instead a divergence-fre...

Invariant manifolds near hyperbolic fixed points

In these notes we discuss obstructions to the existence of local invariant manifolds in some smoothness class, near hyperbolic fixed points of diffeomorphisms. We present an elementary construction for continuously differentiable invariant manifolds, that are not necessarily normally hyperbolic, near attracting fixed points. The analogous theory for invariant manifolds near hyperbolic equilbria...
