Distinguished trajectories in time dependent vector fields.

چکیده
We introduce a new definition of distinguished trajectory that generalizes the concepts of fixed point and periodic orbit to aperiodic dynamical systems. This new definition is valid for identifying distinguished trajectories with hyperbolic and nonhyperbolic types of stability. The definition is implemented numerically and the procedure consists of determining a path of limit coordinates. It has been successfully applied to known examples of distinguished trajectories. In the context of highly aperiodic realistic flows our definition characterizes distinguished trajectories in finite time intervals, and states that outside these intervals trajectories are no longer distinguished.

In this paper we give sufficient conditions for the existence of hyperbolic trajectories in aperiodically time dependent vector fields. These conditions do not require the a prior
متن کاملSpace-time Visualization of Dynamics in Lagrangian Coherent Structures of Time-dependent 2D Vector Fields
Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS), apparent as ridges in the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) field, represent a time-dependent alternative to the concept of separatrices in vector field topology. Traditionally, LCS are analyzed and visualized in terms of their geometric shape only, neglecting stretching and compression in tangent directions. These effects are, however, of particular int...
متن کاملDistinguished hyperbolic trajectories in time-dependent fluid flows: analytical and computational approach for velocity fields defined as data sets
In this paper we develop analytical and numerical methods for finding special hyperbolic trajectories that govern geometry of Lagrangian structures in time-dependent vector fields. The vector fields (or velocity fields) may have arbitrary time dependence and be realized only as data sets over finite time intervals, where space and time are discretized. While the notion of a hyperbolic trajector...
متن کاملComputation of stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic trajectories in two-dimensional, aperiodically time-dependent vector fields
In this paper, we develop two accurate and fast algorithms for the computation of the stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic trajectories of two-dimensional, aperiodically time-dependent vector fields. First we develop a benchmark method in which all the trajectories composing the manifold are integrated from the neighborhood of the hyperbolic trajectory. This choice, although very accurat...
متن کاملSome open problems
We discuss some challenging open problems in the geometric control theory and sub-Riemannian geometry. It is getting harder to prove theorems and easier to force other people to prove them when you are sixty. Some colleagues asked me to describe interesting open problems in geometric control and sub-Riemannian geometry. Here I list few really challenging problems; some of them are open for a lo...
