Book of Abstracts National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Institute of Mathematics International Conference DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Kyiv, Ukraine June 22 – 26, 2015 Abstracts Kyiv – 2015 DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Kyiv, Ukraine June 22 – 26, 2015 International Conference on Dynamical Systems and Their Appli- cations is organized by the Institute of Mathematics, National Acad- emy of Sciences of Ukraine. Dynamical systems theory, being one of the rapidly developing ar- eas of modern mathematics, provides powerful theoretical base for exploring a variety of models that arise in natural and social sciences, engineering and technology. The combination of the internal wealth and beauty of results with the exceptional practical importance moti- vates a growing number of specialists to study into dynamical systems. Beginning with the 60s, the Institute of Mathematics held con- ferences and schools on various fields of mathematics, in particular, on dynamical systems. This has had a profound effect on the devel- opment not only of dynamical systems theory but also of the overall nonlinear dynamics. Not so long, the Institute of Mathematics de- cided to arrange International Conference “Dynamical Systems and Their Applications” (ICDSA), aimed to promote transnational coop- eration and share good practice in the field of dynamical systems theory. The first conference hosted in Kyiv in 2012. The second edi- tion of ICDSA takes place in Kyiv again, it considers a wide range of issues of the modern theory of dynamical systems.

Unfolding the system of difference equations, we obtain the two-dimensional dynamical system in the plane given by F (x; y) = (x(4 − x − y); xy): The interest of such system was stated by A. Sharkovsk˘ıias an open problem and proposing some questions. The most interesting dynamics of the system is developed inside an invariant plane tri- angle, where hyperbolic periodic points of almost all period appear, there are subsets of transitivity and invariant curves of spiral form around the unique inside fixed point. In this talk we will present some results concerning the behavior of all points outside the triangle, completing the known dynamics of the system. In fact we have obtained that outside the triangle, the orbits of all points are unbounded. Some of them go to infinite in an oscillating way occupying the second and third quadrant of the plane and others are going in a monotone way to infinite. Outside the triangle there are no periodic points. Such new results has an interesting interpretation in terms of the physics of the problem. Additionally we will answer some of the questions stated by Sharkovsk˘ıi concerning the inside of the mentioned triangle. We will also present graphycal analysis of such evolutions and also the visualization

When this the author of this book and ask him to name the happens, there is a negative charge left behind by single most important concept in brain science, he the K+ ions immediately leaving the cell. This would say it is the concept of a neuron[16].” build-up of negative charge is actually enough to, in a sense, catch the K+ ions in the act of leaving By no means are the concepts forwarded in his and momentarily halt the flow of charge across the book restricted to brain science.

Carroll U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, District of Columbia 20375, USA (Received 8 January 2015; accepted 18 March 2015; published online 16 April 2015) We review some of the history and early work in the area of synchronization in chaotic systems. We start with our own discovery of the phenomenon, but go on to establish the historical timeline of this topic back to the earliest known paper. The topic of synchronization of chaotic systems has always been intriguing, since chaotic systems are known to resist synchronization because of their positive Lyapunov exponents. The convergence of the two systems to identical trajectories is a surprise. We show how people originally thought about this process and how the concept of synchronization changed over the years to a more geometric view using synchronization manifolds.

  • WHAT IS a CHAOTIC ATTRACTOR? 1. Introduction J. Yorke Coined the Word 'Chaos' As Applied to Deterministic Systems. R. Devane
    WHAT IS A CHAOTIC ATTRACTOR? CLARK ROBINSON Abstract. Devaney gave a mathematical definition of the term chaos, which had earlier been introduced by Yorke. We discuss issues involved in choosing the properties that characterize chaos. We also discuss how this term can be combined with the definition of an attractor. 1. Introduction J. Yorke coined the word `chaos' as applied to deterministic systems. R. Devaney gave the first mathematical definition for a map to be chaotic on the whole space where a map is defined. Since that time, there have been several different definitions of chaos which emphasize different aspects of the map. Some of these are more computable and others are more mathematical. See [9] a comparison of many of these definitions. There is probably no one best or correct definition of chaos. In this paper, we discuss what we feel is one of better mathematical definition. (It may not be as computable as some of the other definitions, e.g., the one by Alligood, Sauer, and Yorke.) Our definition is very similar to the one given by Martelli in [8] and [9]. We also combine the concepts of chaos and attractors and discuss chaotic attractors. 2. Basic definitions We start by giving the basic definitions needed to define a chaotic attractor. We give the definitions for a diffeomorphism (or map), but those for a system of differential equations are similar. The orbit of a point x∗ by F is the set O(x∗; F) = f Fi(x∗) : i 2 Z g. An invariant set for a diffeomorphism F is an set A in the domain such that F(A) = A.

Iteration, orbit. Applica- tions (population dynamics, Newton’s method). A dynamical system is a map f : S S, and the set S is called the state space. Given an initial point x0 S, the orbit of x0 is the sequence x0,x1,x2,x3,... obtained by repeatedly applying f: ∈ → n x1 = f(x0), x2 = f(x1), x3 = f(x2),...,xn = f (x0), ... Basic question of dynamical systems: given x0, what is behaviour of orbit? Or, what is behaviour of most orbits? + + Example Let f : R R be given by f(x)= √x. Let x0 = 2. Then x1 = f(2)= √2 1.4142. And ≈ x = √2 1.1892 and x = √1.1892 1.0905. 2 p → 3 The orbit of≈2 therefore begins {2.0, 1.4142,≈ 1.1892, 1.0905, ...}. The orbit of 3 begins {3.0, 1.7321, 1.3161, 1.1472, ...}. The orbit of 0.5 begins {0.5, 0.7071, 0.8409, .9170, .9576, ...}. All are getting closer to 1. Regular dynamics fixed points, periodic points and orbits. Example f(x)= cos(x). Globally attracting fixed point at x = 0.739085 . ··· Chaotic dynamics Basic idea is unpredictability. There is no “typical’ behaviour. Example f(x)= 4x(1 − x), x [0,1]: Split the interval into two halves: L = [0, 1 ] and R = [ 1 ,1].

Moro, 2, I00185 Rome, Italy An analysis of the different philosophic and scienti®c visions of Henri Poincare and Federigo Enriques relative to qualitative analysis provides us with a complex and interesting image of the ``essential tension'' between ``tradition'' and ``innovation'' within the history of science. In accordance with his scienti®c paradigm, Poincare viewed qualitative analysis as a means for preserving the nucleus of the classical reductionist program, even though it meant ``bending the rules'' somewhat. To Enriques's mind, qualitative analysis represented the af®rmation of a synthetic, geometrical vision that would supplant the analytical/quantitative conception characteristic of 19th-century mathematics and mathematical physics. Here, we examine the two different answers given at the turn of the century to the question of the relationship between geometry and analysis and between mathematics, on the one hand, and mechanics and physics, on the other. 1998 Academic Press Un'analisi delle diverse posizioni ®loso®che e scienti®che di Henri Poincare e Federigo Enriques nei riguardi dell'analisi qualitativa fornisce un'immagine complessa e interessante della ``tensione essenziale'' tra ``tradizione'' e ``innovazione'' nell'ambito della storia della scienza.

  • Writing the History of Dynamical Systems and Chaos

In this paper, we flesh out the historiographical tensions arising from these confrontations: longue-duree´ history and revolution; abstract mathematics and the use of mathematical techniques in various other domains. After reviewing the historiography of dynamical systems theory from Poincar´e to the 1960s, we highlight the pioneering work of a few individuals (Steve Smale, Edward Lorenz, David Ruelle). We then go on to discuss the nature of the chaos phenomenon, which, we argue, was a conceptual reconfiguration as

  • Attractors of Dynamical Systems in Locally Compact Spaces
    Open Math. 2019; 17:465–471 Open Mathematics Research Article Gang Li* and Yuxia Gao Attractors of dynamical systems in locally compact spaces https://doi.org/10.1515/math-2019-0037 Received February 7, 2019; accepted March 4, 2019 Abstract: In this article the properties of attractors of dynamical systems in locally compact metric space are discussed. Existing conditions of attractors and related results are obtained by the near isolating block which we present. Keywords: Flow, attraction neighborhood, near isolating block MSC: 34C35 54H20 1 Introduction The dynamical system theory studies the rules of changes in the state which depends on time. In the investigation of dynamical systems, one of very interesting topics is the study of attractors (see [1 − 4] and the references therein). In [1 − 3], the authors gave some denitions of attractors and also made further investigations about the properties of them. In [5], the limit set of a neighborhood was used in the denition of an attractor, and in [6] Hale and Waterman also emphasized the importance of the limit set of a set in the analysis of the limiting behavior of a dynamical system. In [7 − 9], the authors dened intertwining attractor of dynamical systems in metric space and obtained some existing conditions of intertwining attractor. In [10], the author studied the properties of limit sets of subsets and attractors in a compact metric space. In [11], the author studied a positively bounded dynamical system in the plane, and obtained the conditions of compactness of the set of all bounded solutions. In [12], the uniform attractor was dened as the minimal compact uniformly pullback attracting random set, several existence criteria for uniform attractors were given and the relationship between uniform and co-cycle attractors was carefully studied.

  • Infinitely Renormalizable Quadratic Polynomials 1
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 352, Number 11, Pages 5077{5091 S 0002-9947(00)02514-9 Article electronically published on July 12, 2000 INFINITELY RENORMALIZABLE QUADRATIC POLYNOMIALS YUNPING JIANG Abstract. We prove that the Julia set of a quadratic polynomial which ad- mits an infinite sequence of unbranched, simple renormalizations with complex bounds is locally connected. The method in this study is three-dimensional puzzles. 1. Introduction Let P (z)=z2 + c be a quadratic polynomial where z is a complex variable and c is a complex parameter. The filled-in Julia set K of P is, by definition, the set of points z which remain bounded under iterations of P .TheJulia set J of P is the boundary of K. A central problem in the study of the dynamical system generated by P is to understand the topology of a Julia set J, in particular, the local connectivity for a connected Julia set. A connected set J in the complex plane is said to be locally connected if for every point p in J and every neighborhood U of p there is a neighborhood V ⊆ U such that V \ J is connected. We first give the definition of renormalizability. A quadratic-like map F : U ! V is a holomorphic, proper, degree two branched cover map, whereT U and V are ⊂ 1 −n two domains isomorphic to a disc and U V .ThenKF = n=0 F (U)and JF = @KF are the filled-in Julia set and the Julia set of F , respectively. We only consider those quadratic-like maps whose Julia sets are connected.
