Geometry of Arnold Diffusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to present to non-specialists what is perhaps the simple possible geometrical picture explaining the mechanism of Arnold diffusion. We choose to speak of a specific model – that of geometric rays in a periodic optical medium. This model is equivalent to that of a particle in a periodic potential in R with energy prescribed and to the geodesic flow in a Riemannian metric on R.

Shoulder geometry of tool plays an important role in friction-stir welding because it controls thermal interactions and heat generation. This work is proposed and developed a coupled rigid-viscoplastic numerical modeling based on computational fluid dynamics and finite element calculations aiming to understand these interactions. Model solves mass conservation, momentum, and energy equations in...

The Arnold-Chiari malformation is a congenital abnormality of CNS, characterized by downward displacement the parts of the cerebellum, fourth ventricle, pons and medulla oblongata into the spinal canal. This malformation is one of causative factor of death in neonates and infants. A thorough understanding of the direct and indirect sonographic findings is necessary for diagnosis of Chiari II ma...
متن کاملAn Example of Arnold Diffusion for Near-integrable Hamiltonians
In this paper, using the ideas of Bessi and Mather, we present a simple mechanical system exhibiting Arnold diffusion. This system of a particle in a small periodic potential can be also interpreted as ray propagation in a periodic optical medium with a near-constant index of refraction. Arnold diffusion in this context manifests itself as an arbitrary finite change of direction for nearly cons...
متن کاملArnold Diffusion of the Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
In this article, we prove the existence of Arnold diffusion for an interesting specific system – discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The proof is for the 5-dimensional case with or without resonance. In higher dimensions, the problem is open. Progresses are made by establishing a complete set of Melnikov-Arnold integrals in higher and infinite dimensions. The openness lies at the concrete ...
متن کاملFirst numerical evidence of global Arnold diffusion in quasi–integrable systems
We provide numerical evidence of global diffusion occurring in slightly perturbed integrable Hamiltonian systems and symplectic maps. We show that even if a system is sufficiently close to be integrable, global diffusion occurs on a set with peculiar topology, the so–called Arnold web, and is qualitatively different from Chirikov diffusion, occurring in more perturbed systems.
