Wave transmission in nonlinear lattices

D Hennig, GP Tsironis - Physics Reports, 1999 - Elsevier
The interplay of nonlinearity with lattice discreteness leads to phenomena and propagation
properties quite distinct from those appearing in continuous nonlinear systems. For a large …

Birkhoff averages and the breakdown of invariant tori in volume-preserving maps

JD Meiss, E Sander - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2021 - Elsevier
In this paper, we develop numerical methods based on the weighted Birkhoff average for
studying two-dimensional invariant tori for volume-preserving maps. The methods do not …

Critical invariant circles in asymmetric and multiharmonic generalized standard maps

AM Fox, JD Meiss - Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical …, 2014 - Elsevier
Invariant circles play an important role as barriers to transport in the dynamics of area-
preserving maps. KAM theory guarantees the persistence of some circles for near-integrable …

Connecting Anti-integrability to Attractors for Three-Dimensional Quadratic Diffeomorphisms

AE Hampton, JD Meiss - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2024 - SIAM
We previously showed that three-dimensional quadratic diffeomorphisms have anti-
integrable (AI) limits that correspond to a quadratic correspondence, a pair of one …

Spatial properties of integrable and nonintegrable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations

D Hennig, NG Sun, H Gabriel, GP Tsironis - Physical Review E, 1995 - APS
We study the spatial properties of a nonlinear discrete Schrödinger equation introduced by
Cai, Bishop, and Gro/nbech-Jensen [Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 591 (1994)] that interpolates …

Cantori for multiharmonic maps

C Baesens, RS MacKay - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 1993 - Elsevier
We compute all the cantori and their gap and turnstile structures, for area-preserving twist
maps near non-degenerate anti-integrable limits with arbitrarily many wells per period. The …

Invariant manifolds for analytic difference equations

R de la Llave, HE Lomeli - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2012 - SIAM
We use a modification of the parameterization method to study invariant manifolds for
difference equations. We establish existence, regularity, and smooth dependence on …

Heteroclinic bifurcations and chaotic transport in the two-harmonic standard map

HE Lomelí, R Calleja - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear …, 2006 - pubs.aip.org
We study a two-parameter family of standard maps: the so-called two-harmonic family. In
particular, we study the areas of lobes formed by the stable and unstable manifolds …

Isochronous bifurcations in a two-parameter twist map

M Mugnaine, BB Leal, IL Caldas, AMO de Almeida… - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Isochronous islands in phase space emerge in twist Hamiltonian systems as a response to
multiple resonant perturbations. According to the Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem, the number of …

Green bundles and related topics

MC Arnaud - Proceedings of the International Congress of …, 2010 - World Scientific
For twist maps of the annulus and Tonelli Hamiltonians, two linear bundles, the Green
bundles, are defined along the minimizing orbits. The link between these Green bundles …
