  • Feature Tracking & Visualization in 'Visit'
    FEATURE TRACKING & VISUALIZATION IN ‘VISIT’ By NAVEEN ATMAKURI A thesis submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering written under the direction of Professor Deborah Silver and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2010 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Feature Tracking & Visualization in VisIt by Naveen Atmakuri Thesis Director: Professor Deborah Silver The study and analysis of large experimental or simulation datasets in the field of science and engineering pose a great challenge to the scientists. These complex simulations generate data varying over a period of time. Scientists need to glean large quantities of time-varying data to understand the underlying physical phenomenon. This is where visualization tools can assist scientists in their quest for analysis and understanding of scientific data. Feature Tracking, developed at Visualization & Graphics Lab (Vizlab), Rutgers University, is one such visualization tool. Feature Tracking is an automated process to isolate and analyze certain regions or objects of interest, called ‘features’ and to highlight their underlying physical processes in time-varying 3D datasets. In this thesis, we present a methodology and documentation on how to port ‘Feature Tracking’ into VisIt. VisIt is a freely available open-source visualization software package that has a rich feature set for visualizing and analyzing data. VisIt can successfully handle massive data quantities in the range of tera-scale. The technology covered by this thesis is an improvement over the previous work that focused on Feature Tracking in VisIt.

  • STRONG REGULARITY 3 Ergodic Theorem Produces Lyapunov Exponents (W.R.T
    STRONG REGULARITY by Pierre Berger and Jean-Christophe Yoccoz 1. Uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems The theory of uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems was constructed in the 1960’s under the dual leadership of Smale in the USA and Anosov and Sinai in the Soviet Union. It is nowadays almost complete. It encompasses various examples [Sma67]: expanding maps, horseshoes, solenoid maps, Plykin attractors, Anosov maps and DA, all of which are basic pieces. We recall standard definitions. Let f be a C1-diffeomorphism f of a finite dimen- sional manifold M. A compact f-invariant subset Λ ⊂ M is uniformly hyperbolic if the restriction to Λ of the tangent bundle TM splits into two continuous invariant subbundles TM|Λ= Es ⊕ Eu, Es being uniformly contracted and Eu being uniformly expanded. Then for every z ∈ Λ, the sets W s(z)= {z′ ∈ M : lim d(f n(z),f n(z′))=0}, n→+∞ W u(z)= {z′ ∈ M : lim d(f n(z),f n(z′))=0} n→−∞ are called the stable and unstable manifolds of z. They are immersed manifolds tangent at z to respectively Es(z) and Eu(z). s arXiv:1901.09430v1 [math.DS] 27 Jan 2019 The ǫ-local stable manifold Wǫ (z) of z is the connected component of z in the intersection of W s(z) with a ǫ-neighborhood of z. The ǫ-local unstable manifold u Wǫ (z) is defined likewise. Definition 1.1. — A basic set is a compact, f-invariant, uniformly hyperbolic set Λ which is transitive and locally maximal: there exists a neighborhood N of Λ such that n Λ= ∩n∈Zf (N).

  • DOUBLE STANDARD MAPS 1. Introduction It Is a Usual
    DOUBLE STANDARD MAPS MICHALMISIUREWICZ AND ANA RODRIGUES Abstract. We investigate the family of double standard maps of the circle onto itself, given by fa,b(x) = 2x + a + (b/π) sin(2πx) (mod 1), where the parameters a, b are real and 0 ≤ b ≤ 1. Similarly to the well known family of (Arnold) standard maps of the circle, Aa,b(x) = x + a + (b/(2π)) sin(2πx) (mod 1), any such map has at most one attracting periodic orbit and the set of parameters (a, b) for which such orbit exists is divided into tongues. However, unlike the classical Arnold tongues, that begin at the level b = 0, for double standard maps the tongues begin at higher levels, depending on the tongue. Moreover, the order of the tongues is different. For the standard maps it is governed by the continued fraction expansions of rational numbers; for the double standard maps it is governed by their binary expansions. We investigate closer two families of tongues with different behavior. 1. Introduction It is a usual procedure that in order to understand the behavior of a system in higher dimension one investigates first a one-dimensional system that is somewhat similar. The classical example is the H´enonmap and similar systems, where a serious progress occurred only after unimodal interval maps have been thoroughly understood. Another example of this type was investigation by V. Arnold of the family of standard maps of the circle, given by the formula b (1.1) A (x) = x + a + sin(2πx) (mod 1) a,b 2π (when we write “mod 1,” we mean that both the arguments and the values are taken modulo 1).

  • An Entire Transcendental Family with a Persistent Siegel Disk
    An entire transcendental family with a persistent Siegel disk Rub´en Berenguel, N´uria Fagella March 12, 2009 Abstract We study the class of entire transcendental maps of finite order with one critical point and one asymptotic value, which has exactly one finite pre-image, and having a persistent Siegel disk. After normalization ∗ this is a one parameter family fa with a ∈ C which includes the semi- standard map λzez at a = 1, approaches the exponential map when a → 0 and a quadratic polynomial when a → ∞. We investigate the stable components of the parameter plane (capture components and semi-hyperbolic components) and also some topological properties of the Siegel disk in terms of the parameter. 1 Introduction Given a holomorphic endomorphism f : S → S on a Riemann surface S we consider the dynamical system generated by the iterates of f, denoted by n) n f = f◦ ··· ◦f. The orbit of an initial condition z0 ∈ S is the sequence + n O (z0)= {f (z0)}n N and we are interested in classifying the initial condi- ∈ tions in the phase space or dynamical plane S, according to the asymptotic behaviour of their orbits when n tends to infinity. There is a dynamically natural partition of the phase space S into the Fatou set F (f) (open) where the iterates of f form a normal family and the Julia set J (f)= S\F (f) which is its complement (closed). If S = C = C ∪∞ then f is a rational map. If S = C and f does not extend to the point at infinity, then f is an entire transcendental map, b that is, infinity is an essential singularity.

  • Elliptic Bubbles in Moser's 4D Quadratic Map: the Quadfurcation
    Elliptic Bubbles in Moser's 4DQuadratic Map: the Quadfurcation ∗ Arnd B¨ackery and James D. Meissz Abstract. Moser derived a normal form for the family of four-dimensional, quadratic, symplectic maps in 1994. This six-parameter family generalizes H´enon'subiquitous 2d map and provides a local approximation for the dynamics of more general 4D maps. We show that the bounded dynamics of Moser's family is organized by a codimension-three bifurcation that creates four fixed points|a bifurcation analogous to a doubled, saddle-center|which we call a quadfurcation. In some sectors of parameter space a quadfurcation creates four fixed points from none, and in others it is the collision of a pair of fixed points that re-emerge as two or possibly four. In the simplest case the dynamics is similar to the cross product of a pair of H´enonmaps, but more typically the stability of the created fixed points does not have this simple form. Up to two of the fixed points can be doubly-elliptic and be surrounded by bubbles of invariant two-tori; these dominate the set of bounded orbits. The quadfurcation can also create one or two complex-unstable (Krein) fixed points. Special cases of the quadfurcation correspond to a pair of weakly coupled H´enonmaps near their saddle-center bifurcations. Key words.

  • A Partial Justification of Greene's Criterion For
    A PARTIAL JUSTIFICATION OF GREENE'S CRITERION FOR CONFORMALLY SYMPLECTIC SYSTEMS RENATO C. CALLEJA, ALESSANDRA CELLETTI, CORRADO FALCOLINI, AND RAFAEL DE LA LLAVE Abstract. Greene's criterion for twist mappings asserts the existence of smooth in- variant circles with preassigned rotation number if and only if the periodic trajectories with frequency approaching that of the quasi-periodic orbit are linearly stable. We formulate an extension of this criterion for conformally symplectic systems in any dimension and prove one direction of the implication, namely that if there is a smooth invariant attractor, we can predict the eigenvalues of the periodic orbits whose frequencies approximate that of the tori. The proof of this result is very different from the proof in the area preserving case, since in the conformally symplectic case the existence of periodic orbits requires adjusting parameters. Also, as shown in [13], in the conformally symplectic case there are no Birkhoff invariants giving obstructions to linearization near an invariant torus. As a byproduct of the techniques developed here, we obtain quantitative information on the existence of periodic orbits in the neighborhood of quasi-periodic tori and we provide upper and lower bounds on the width of the Arnold tongues in n-degrees of freedom conformally symplectic systems.

  • Boundary Values of the Thurston Pullback Map
    Boundary Values of the Thurston Pullback Map Russell Lodge Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana [email protected] July 3, 2012 Abstract The Thurston characterization and rigidity theorem gives a beauti- ful description of when a postcritically finite topological branched cover mapping the 2-sphere to itself is Thurston equivalent to a rational func- tion. Thurston equivalence remains mysterious, but great strides were taken when Bartholdi and Nekrashevych used iterated monodromy groups to solve the \Twisted Rabbit Problem" which sought to identify the Thurston class of the rabbit polynomial composed with an arbi- trary Dehn twist. Selinger showed that the Thurston pullback map on Teichm¨ullerspace can be extended to the Weil-Petersson boundary. We compute these boundary values for the pullback map associated to 3z2 f(z) = 2z3+1 and demonstrate how the dynamical properties of this map on the boundary can be used as an invariant to solve the twisting problem for f.

  • NL3238 the Standard Map 1 NL3238 the Standard Map
    NL3238 The Standard Map 1 NL3238 The Standard Map Derivation The standard or Taylor-Chirikov map is a family of area-preserving maps, z0 = f(z) with z = (x, y), given by k x0 = x + y − sin(2πx) 2π k y0 = y − sin(2πx) . (1) 2π Here x is a periodic configuration variable, and is usually computed “mod 1,” and y ∈ R is the momentum variable. The map has a single parameter k which represents the strength of the nonlinear kick. This map was first proposed by Bryan Taylor and then independently obtained by Boris Chirikov to describe the dynamics of magnetic field lines. The standard map and H´enon’sarea-preserving quadratic map provide extensively studied paradigms for chaotic Hamiltonian dynamics. The standard map is an exact symplectic map of the cylinder. Since x0(x, y) is a monotone function of y for each x, it is also an example of a monotone twist map (see Aubry–Mather theory). Every twist map has a Lagrangian generating function; the 0 1 0 2 k standard map is generated by F (x, x ) = 2 (x − x) + 4π2 cos(2πx), so that y = −∂F/∂x and y0 = ∂F/∂x0. The map can also be obtained from a discrete Lagrangian variational principle: define the discrete action for any configuration sequence . , xt−1, xt, xt+1,... as the formal sum X A[. , xt−1, xt, xt+1,...] = F (xt, xt+1) . (2) t Then an orbit is a sequence which is a critical point of A; this gives the discrete Euler- Lagrange equation k x − 2x + x = − sin(2πx ) .

  • Pseudo-Random Number Generator Based on Logistic Chaotic System
    entropy Article Pseudo-Random Number Generator Based on Logistic Chaotic System Luyao Wang and Hai Cheng * Electronic Engineering College, Heilongjiang University, Harbin 150080, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 August 2019; Accepted: 27 September 2019; Published: 30 September 2019 Abstract: In recent years, a chaotic system is considered as an important pseudo-random source to pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). This paper proposes a PRNG based on a modified logistic chaotic system. This chaotic system with fixed system parameters is convergent and its chaotic behavior is analyzed and proved. In order to improve the complexity and randomness of modified PRNGs, the chaotic system parameter denoted by floating point numbers generated by the chaotic system is confused and rearranged to increase its key space and reduce the possibility of an exhaustive attack. It is hard to speculate on the pseudo-random number by chaotic behavior because there is no statistical characteristics and infer the pseudo-random number generated by chaotic behavior. The system parameters of the next chaotic system are related to the chaotic values generated by the previous ones, which makes the PRNG generate enough results. By confusing and rearranging the output sequence, the system parameters of the previous time cannot be gotten from the next time which ensures the security. The analysis shows that the pseudo-random sequence generated by this method has perfect randomness, cryptographic properties and can pass the statistical tests. Keywords: logistic chaotic system; PRNG; Pseudo-random number sequence 1. Introduction With the rapid development of communication technology and the wide use of the Internet and mobile networks, people pay more and more attention to information security.

  • On Stochastic Sea of the Standard Map
    ON STOCHASTIC SEA OF THE STANDARD MAP ANTON GORODETSKI Abstract. Consider a generic one-parameter unfolding of a homoclinic tangency of an area pre- serving surface diffeomorphism. We show that for many parameters (residual subset in an open set approaching the critical value) the corresponding diffeomorphism has a transitive invariant set Ω of full Hausdorff dimension. The set Ω is a topological limit of hyperbolic sets and is accumulated by elliptic islands. As an application we prove that stochastic sea of the standard map has full Hausdorff dimension for sufficiently large topologically generic parameters. Keywords: standard map, conservative dynamics, hyperbolic set, Newhouse phenomena, persistent tangencies, Hausdorff dimension, homoclinic picture, homoclinic class, stochastic layer. MSC 2000: 37E30, 37D45, 37J45, 37J20. 1. Introduction and Main Results Here we prove that stochastic sea of the Taylor-Chirikov standard map (i.e. the set of orbits with non-zero Lyapunov exponents) has full Hausdorff dimension for large topologically generic parameters. In order to do so we show that a perturbation of an area preserving diffeomorphism with a homoclinic tangency has hyperbolic invariant sets of almost full Hausdorff dimension. 1.1. Standard map. The simplest and most famous symplectic system with highly non-trivial dy- namics is the Taylor-Chirikov standard map of the two{dimensional torus T2, given by 2 (1) fk(x; y) = (x + y + k sin(2πx); y + k sin(2πx)) mod Z : This family is related to numerous physical problems, see for example [C], [I], [SS]. For k = 0 the map f0(x; y) = (x+y; y) is completely integrable, and leaves the circles y = const invariant.
