RESUMEN
This work presents a study of the dynamics in the vicinity of the stable L2 halo orbits in the Earth-Moon system of the circular restricted three-body problem. These solutions include partially elliptic, partially hyperbolic, and elliptic quasi-halo orbits. The first two types of orbits are 2-dimensional quasi-periodic tori, whereas the elliptic orbits are 3-dimensional quasi-periodic tori. Motivated by the Lunar Gateway, this work computes these orbits to explore the 3-parameter family of solutions lying in the vicinity of the stable halo orbits. An algorithm is presented to quantify the size of the invariant surfaces which gives perspective on the size of the orbits. A stability bifurcation is detected where the partially elliptic tori become partially hyperbolic. A nonlinear behavior of the Jacobi constant is observed which differs from the behavior of the quasi-halo orbits emanating from the unstable halo orbits which makeup the majority of the quasi-halo family. Uses of the orbits in the vicinity of the stable L2 halo orbits are identified, and the results highlight characteristics and structure of the family to broaden the understanding of the dynamical structure of the circular restricted three-body problem.
RESUMEN
Recent work shows that recurrent solutions of the equations governing fluid flow play an important role in structuring the dynamics of turbulence. Here, an improved version of an earlier method (Krygier et al. 2021 J. Fluid. Mech. 923, A7 and Crowley et al. 2022 Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 119, e2120665119) is used for detecting and analyzing intervals of time when turbulence 'shadows' (spatially and temporally mimics) recurrent solutions in both numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. We find that all the recurrent solutions shadowed in numerics are also shadowed in experiment, and the corresponding statistics of shadowing agree. Our results set the stage for experimentally grounded dynamical descriptions of turbulence in a variety of wall-bounded shear flows, enabling applications to forecasting and control. This article is part of the theme issue 'Taylor-Couette and related flows on the centennial of Taylor's seminal Philosophical Transactions paper (part 1)'.
RESUMEN
In chaotic entanglement, pairs of interacting classically-chaotic systems are induced into a state of mutual stabilization that can be maintained without external controls and that exhibits several properties consistent with quantum entanglement. In such a state, the chaotic behavior of each system is stabilized onto one of the system's many unstable periodic orbits (generally located densely on the associated attractor), and the ensuing periodicity of each system is sustained by the symbolic dynamics of its partner system, and vice versa. Notably, chaotic entanglement is an entropy-reversing event: the entropy of each member of an entangled pair decreases to zero when each system collapses onto a given period orbit. In this paper, we discuss the role that entropy plays in chaotic entanglement. We also describe the geometry that arises when pairs of entangled chaotic systems organize into coherent structures that range in complexity from simple tripartite lattices to more involved patterns. We conclude with a discussion of future research directions.
RESUMEN
Quantum scars refer to an enhanced localization of the probability density of states in the spectral region with a high energy level density. Scars are discussed for a number of confined pure and impurity-doped electronic systems. Here, we studied the role of spin on quantum scarring for a generic system, namely a semiconductor-heterostructure-based two-dimensional electron gas subjected to a confining potential, an external magnetic field, and a Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling. Calculating the high energy spectrum for each spin channel and corresponding states, as well as employing statistical methods known for the spinless case, we showed that spin-dependent scarring occurs in a spin-coupled electronic system. Scars can be spin mixed or spin polarized and may be detected via transport measurements or spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy.
RESUMEN
The circular restricted three-body model is widely used for astrodynamical studies in systems where two major bodies are present. However, this model relies on many simplifications, such as point-mass gravity and planar, circular orbits of the bodies, and limiting its accuracy. In an effort to achieve higher-fidelity results while maintaining the autonomous simplicity of the classic model, we employ zonal harmonic perturbations since they are symmetric about the z-axis, thus bearing no time-dependent terms. In this study, we focus on how these perturbations affect the dynamic environment near the secondary body in real systems. Concise, easily implementable equations for gravitational potential, particle motion, and modified Jacobi constant in the perturbed model are presented. These perturbations cause a change in the normalized mean motion, and two different formulations are addressed for assigning this new value. The shifting of collinear equilibrium points in many real systems due to J 2 of each body is reported, and we study how families of common periodic orbits-Lyapunov, vertical, and southern halo-shift and distort when J 2 , J 4 , and J 6 of the primary and J 2 of the secondary body are accounted for in the Jupiter-Europa and Saturn-Enceladus systems. It is found that these families of periodic orbits change shape, position, and energy, which can lead to dramatically different dynamical behavior in some cases. The primary focus is on moons of the outer planets, many of which have very small odd zonal harmonic terms, or no measured value at all, so while the developed equations are meant for any and all zonal harmonic terms, only even terms are considered in the simulations. Early utilization of this refined CR3BP model in mission design will result in a more smooth transition to full ephemeris model.
RESUMEN
In evolutionary game theory, it is customary to be partial to the dynamical models possessing fixed points so that they may be understood as the attainment of evolutionary stability, and hence, Nash equilibrium. Any show of periodic or chaotic solution is many a time perceived as a shortcoming of the corresponding game dynamic because (Nash) equilibrium play is supposed to be robust and persistent behaviour, and any other behaviour in nature is deemed transient. Consequently, there is a lack of attempt to connect the non-fixed point solutions with the game theoretic concepts. Here we provide a way to render game theoretic meaning to periodic solutions. To this end, we consider a replicator map that models Darwinian selection mechanism in unstructured infinite-sized population whose individuals reproduce asexually forming non-overlapping generations. This is one of the simplest evolutionary game dynamic that exhibits periodic solutions giving way to chaotic solutions (as parameters related to reproductive fitness change) and also obeys the folk theorems connecting fixed point solutions with Nash equilibrium. Interestingly, we find that a modified Darwinian fitness-termed heterogeneity payoff-in the corresponding population game must be put forward as (conventional) fitness times the probability that two arbitrarily chosen individuals of the population adopt two different strategies. The evolutionary dynamics proceeds as if the individuals optimize the heterogeneity payoff to reach an evolutionarily stable orbit, should it exist. We rigorously prove that a locally asymptotically stable period orbit must be heterogeneity stable orbit-a generalization of evolutionarily stable state.

Reactivity measures the transient response of a system following a perturbation from a stable state. For steady states, the theory of reactivity is well developed and frequently applied. However, we find that reactivity depends critically on the scaling used in the equations. We therefore caution that calculations of reactivity from nondimensionalized models may be misleading. The attempt to extend reactivity theory to stable periodic orbits is very recent. We study reactivity of periodically forced and intrinsically generated periodic orbits. For periodically forced systems, we contribute a number of observations and examples that had previously received less attention. In particular, we systematically explore how reactivity depends on the timing of the perturbation. We then suggest ways to extend the theory to intrinsically generated periodic orbits. We investigate several possible global measures of reactivity of a periodic orbit and show that there likely is no single quantity to consistently measure the transient response of a system near a periodic orbit.

ÓrbitaRESUMEN
We investigate the coevolution of cannibalistic predators and timid prey, which seek refuge upon detecting a predator. To understand how the species affect each other's evolution, we derived the ecological model from individual-level processes using ordinary differential equations. The ecological dynamics exhibit bistability between equilibrium and periodic attractors, which may disappear through catastrophic bifurcations. Using the critical function analysis of adaptive dynamics, we classify general trade-offs between cannibalism and prey capture that produce different evolutionary outcomes. The evolutionary analysis reveals several ways in which cannibalism emerges as a response to timidity of the prey. The long-term coevolution either attains a singularity, or becomes cyclic through two mechanisms: genetical cycles through Hopf bifurcation of the singularity, or ecogenetical cycles involving abrupt switching between ecological attractors. Further diversification of cannibalism occurs through evolutionary branching, which is predicted to be delayed when simultaneous prey evolution is necessary for the singularity's attainability. We conclude that predator-prey coevolution produces a variety of outcomes, in which evolutionary cycles are commonplace.

We investigate the evolution of timidity in a prey species whose predator has cannibalistic tendencies. The ecological model is derived from individual-level processes, in which the prey seeks refuge after detecting a predator, and the predator cannibalises on the conspecific juveniles. Bifurcation analysis of the model reveals ecological bistability between equilibrium and periodic attractors. Using the framework of adaptive dynamics, we classify ten qualitatively different evolutionary scenarios induced by the ecological bistability. These scenarios include ecological attractor switching through catastrophic bifurcations, which can reverse the direction of evolution. We show that such reversals often result in evolutionary cycling of the level of timidity. In the absence of cannibalism, the model never exhibits ecological bistability nor evolutionary cycling. We conclude that cannibalistic predator behaviour can completely change both the ecological dynamics and the evolution of prey.

Interactions between gene regulatory networks and metabolism produce a diversity of dynamics, including multistability and oscillations. Here, we characterize a regulatory mechanism that drives the emergence of periodic oscillations in metabolic networks subject to genetic feedback regulation by pathway intermediates. We employ a qualitative formalism based on piecewise linear models to systematically analyze the behavior of gene-regulated metabolic pathways. For a pathway with two metabolites and three enzymes, we prove the existence of two co-existing oscillatory behaviors: damped oscillations towards a fixed point or sustained oscillations along a periodic orbit. We show that this mechanism closely resembles the "metabolator", a genetic-metabolic circuit engineered to produce autonomous oscillations in vivo.

We examine the quantum-classical correspondence from a classical perspective by discussing the potential for chaotic systems to support behaviors normally associated with quantum mechanical systems. Our main analytical tool is a chaotic system's set of cupolets, which are highly-accurate stabilizations of its unstable periodic orbits. Our discussion is motivated by the bound or entangled states that we have recently detected between interacting chaotic systems, wherein pairs of cupolets are induced into a state of mutually-sustaining stabilization that can be maintained without external controls. This state is known as chaotic entanglement as it has been shown to exhibit several properties consistent with quantum entanglement. For instance, should the interaction be disturbed, the chaotic entanglement would then be broken. In this paper, we further describe chaotic entanglement and go on to address the capacity for chaotic systems to exhibit other characteristics that are conventionally associated with quantum mechanics, namely analogs to wave function collapse, various entropy definitions, the superposition of states, and the measurement problem. In doing so, we argue that these characteristics need not be regarded exclusively as quantum mechanical. We also discuss several characteristics of quantum systems that are not fully compatible with chaotic entanglement and that make quantum entanglement unique.
RESUMEN
Models coupling behaviour and disease as two unique but interacting contagions have existed since the mid 2000s. In these coupled contagion models, behaviour is typically treated as a 'simple contagion'. However, the means of behaviour spread may in fact be more complex. We develop a family of disease-behaviour coupled contagion compartmental models in order to examine the effect of behavioural contagion type on disease-behaviour dynamics. Coupled contagion models treating behaviour as a simple contagion and a complex contagion are investigated, showing that behavioural contagion type can have a significant impact on dynamics. We find that a simple contagion behaviour leads to simple dynamics, while a complex contagion behaviour supports complex dynamics with the possibility of bistability and periodic orbits.

For structured populations with an annual breeding season, life-stage interactions and behavioral tactics may occur on a faster time scale than that of population dynamics. Motivated by recent field studies of the effect of rising sea surface temperature (SST) on within-breeding-season behaviors in colonial seabirds, we formulate and analyze a general class of discrete-time matrix models designed to account for changes in behavioral tactics within the breeding season and their dynamic consequences at the population level across breeding seasons. As a specific example, we focus on egg cannibalism and the daily reproductive synchrony observed in seabirds. Using the model, we investigate circumstances under which these life history tactics can be beneficial or non-beneficial at the population level in light of the expected continued rise in SST. Using bifurcation theoretic techniques, we study the nature of non-extinction, seasonal cycles as a function of environmental resource availability as they are created upon destabilization of the extinction state. Of particular interest are backward bifurcations in that they typically create strong Allee effects in population models which, in turn, lead to the benefit of possible (initial condition dependent) survival in adverse environments. We find that positive density effects (component Allee effects) due to increased adult survival from cannibalism and the propensity of females to synchronize daily egg laying can produce a strong Allee effect due to a backward bifurcation.

This paper presents a systematic algorithm to design time-invariant decentralized feedback controllers to exponentially and robustly stabilize periodic orbits for hybrid dynamical systems against possible uncertainties in discrete-time phases. The algorithm assumes a family of parameterized and decentralized nonlinear controllers to coordinate interconnected hybrid subsystems based on a common phasing variable. The exponential and [Formula: see text] robust stabilization problems of periodic orbits are translated into an iterative sequence of optimization problems involving bilinear and linear matrix inequalities. By investigating the properties of the Poincaré map, some sufficient conditions for the convergence of the iterative algorithm are presented. The power of the algorithm is finally demonstrated through designing a set of robust stabilizing local nonlinear controllers for walking of an underactuated 3D autonomous bipedal robot with 9 degrees of freedom, impact model uncertainties, and a decentralization scheme motivated by amputee locomotion with a transpelvic prosthetic leg.
RESUMEN
We re-examine the prototypical roaming reaction--hydrogen atom roaming in formaldehyde decomposition--from a phase space perspective. Specifically, we address the question "why do trajectories roam, rather than dissociate through the radical channel?" We describe and compute the phase space structures that define and control all possible reactive events for this reaction, as well as provide a dynamically exact description of the roaming region in phase space. Using these phase space constructs, we show that in the roaming region, there is an unstable periodic orbit whose stable and unstable manifolds define a conduit that both encompasses all roaming trajectories exiting the formaldehyde well and shepherds them toward the H2···CO well.
RESUMEN
Period-doubling bifurcation to chaos were discovered in spontaneous firings of Onchidium pacemaker neurons. In this paper, we provide three cases of bifurcation processes related to period-doubling bifurcation cascades to chaos observed in the spontaneous firing patterns recorded from an injured site of rat sciatic nerve as a pacemaker. Period-doubling bifurcation cascades to period-4 (π(2,2)) firstly, and then to chaos, at last to a periodicity, which can be period-5, period-4 (π(4)) and period-3, respectively, in different pacemakers. The three bifurcation processes are labeled as case I, II and III, respectively, manifesting procedures different to those of period-adding bifurcation. Higher-dimensional unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) can be detected in the chaos, built close relationships to the periodic firing patterns. Case III bifurcation process is similar to that discovered in the Onchidium pacemaker neurons and simulated in theoretical model-Chay model. The extra-large Feigenbaum constant manifesting in the period-doubling bifurcation process, induced by quasi-discontinuous characteristics exhibited in the first return maps of both ISI series and slow variable of Chay model, shows that higher-dimensional periodic behaviors appeared difficult within the period-doubling bifurcation cascades. The results not only provide examples of period-doubling bifurcation to chaos and chaos with higher-dimensional UPOs, but also reveal the dynamical features of the period-doubling bifurcation cascades to chaos.
RESUMEN
In this paper we study a class of symmetric polynomial differential systems in R³, which has a set of parallel invariant straight lines, forming degenerate heteroclinic cycles, which have their two singular endpoints at infinity. The global study near infinity is performed using the Poincaré compactification. We prove that for all n Î N there is epsilonn > 0 such that for 0 < epsilon < epsilonn the system has at least n large amplitude periodic orbits bifurcating from the heteroclinic loop formed by the two invariant straight lines closest to the x-axis, one contained in the half-space y > 0 and the other in y < 0.
Neste trabalho estudamos uma classe de campos vetoriais polinomiais com simetria, definidos no R³ e dependendo de um parâmetro real épsilon, que possui um conjunto de retas invariantes paralelas que tendem para dois pontos singulares no infinito, formando ciclos heteroclínicos degenerados. A análise global na vizinhança dos pontos no infinito é desenvolvida utilizando-se a compactificação de Poincaré. Provamos que para todo n Î N existe épsilonn > 0 tal que, para todo 0 < épsilon < épsilonn, o sistema considerado possui pelo menos n órbitas periódicas de grande amplitude, que bifurcam do ciclo heteroclínico formado pelas duas retas invariantes mais próximas do eixo-x, uma contida no semi-espaço y > 0 e a outra contida no semi-espaço y < 0.
