The topological characteristics of the bifurcation and chaos in the motion of combustion fronts in solids.

We investigate the geometric features in the bifurcation and chaos of a partial differential equation describing the unsteady combustion of solid propellants. Driven by the interaction of the unsteady combustion at the surface and the diffusion inside solids, the motion of the combustion fronts can be steady, harmonically oscillatory, and become more complicated to chaos through a series of bifurcations. We examined the dynamics in both free and forced oscillations. In the free oscillation, by varying a parameter related to the solid property, the intrinsic instability of the combustion is discovered. We find the typical period-doubling to chaos route and verify it via both qualitative and quantitative universalities. In the forced oscillation case, the system is perturbed by an external pressure excitation, leading to a more complicated bifurcation diagram with richer dynamics. Concentrating on the topological characteristics of the periodic orbits, we discover two new types of bifurcation other than the period-doubling bifurcation. In present work, we extract a series subtle topological structures from an infinite-dimensional dynamical systems governed by a partial differential equation with free boundary. We find the results provide an explanation for the period-3 orbits in the experimental data of a full-scale motor.

Polynomial dynamical systems associated with the KdV hierarchy

In 1974, S.P. Novikov introduced the stationary n-equations of the Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy, namely the n-Novikov equations. These are associated with integrable polynomial dynamical systems, with polynomial 2n integrals, in ℂ3n. In this paper, we construct an infinite-dimensional polynomial dynamical system that is universal for all dynamical systems corresponding to the n-Novikov equations. Thus, we solve the well-known problem of the relationship between the n-Novikov equations for different n.

Yosida distance and existence of invariant manifolds in the infinite-dimensional dynamical systems

We consider the existence of invariant manifolds to evolution equations u ′ ( t ) = A u ( t ) u’(t)=Au(t) , A : D ( A ) ⊂ X → X A:D(A)\subset \mathbb {X}\to \mathbb {X} near its equilibrium A ( 0 ) = 0 A(0)=0 under the assumption that its proto-derivative ∂ A ( x ) \partial A(x) exists and is continuous in x ∈ D ( A ) x\in D(A) in the sense of Yosida distance. Yosida distance between two (unbounded) linear operators U U and V V in a Banach space X \mathbb {X} is defined as d Y ( U , V ) ≔ lim sup μ → + ∞ ‖ U μ − V μ ‖ d_Y(U,V)≔\limsup _{\mu \to +\infty } \| U_\mu -V_\mu \| , where U μ U_\mu and V μ V_\mu are the Yosida approximations of U U and V V , respectively. We show that the above-mentioned equation has local stable and unstable invariant manifolds near an exponentially dichotomous equilibrium if the proto-derivative of ∂ A \partial A is continuous in the sense of Yosida distance. The Yosida distance approach allows us to generalize the well-known results with possible applications to larger classes of partial differential equations and functional differential equations. The obtained results seem to be new.

Port-Hamiltonian discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods

Abstract A port-Hamiltonian (pH) system formulation is a geometrical notion used to formulate conservation laws for various physical systems. The distributed parameter port-Hamiltonian formulation models infinite dimensional Hamiltonian dynamical systems that have a nonzero energy flow through the boundaries. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations of pH-systems. Linking DG methods with pH-systems gives rise to compatible structure preserving semidiscrete finite element discretizations along with flexibility in terms of geometry and function spaces of the variables involved. Moreover, the port-Hamiltonian formulation makes boundary ports explicit, which makes the choice of structure and power preserving numerical fluxes easier. We state the Discontinuous Finite Element Stokes–Dirac structure with a power preserving coupling between elements, which provides the mathematical framework for a large class of pH discontinuous Galerkin discretizations. We also provide an a priori error analysis for the port-Hamiltonian discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method (pH-DGFEM). The port-Hamiltonian discontinuous Galerkin finite element method is demonstrated for the scalar wave equation showing optimal rates of convergence.

WHAT HAS BIOLOGY DONE FOR MATHEMATICS: SUCCESS STORIES

Abstract. The long-time dynamics of ODE-PDE coupling models is a fascinating subject area. It is at very heart of understanding many important problems arising in the natural sciences. Heuristically, it is clear that the dynamics such coupled systems should depend drastically on the monotonicity properties of the ODE component. In the case, where this ODE component is "monotone", that is cannot produce internal stability (and all of the instability is driven by the coupling with the PDE component), one expects asymptotic compactness and the existence of finite-dimensional global attractor using the methods of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. In contrast to that, in the case when ODE component is "nonmonotone", the ODE instability may produce asymptotic discontinuities and even may destroy the initially smooth spatial profile. Thus, in that case, the smoothing effect from the PDE component is not strong enough to suppress the development of discontinuities provided by the internal instabilities of the ODE component and as a result spatial discontinuities and extremely complicated spatial structures may appear.

Pullback Exponential Attractors with Explicit Fractal Dimensions for Non-Autonomous Partial Functional Differential Equations

The aim of this paper is to propose a new method to construct pullback exponential attractors with explicit fractal dimensions for non-autonomous infinite-dimensional dynamical systems in Banach spaces. The approach is established by combining the squeezing properties and the covering of finite subspace of Banach spaces, which generalize the method established for autonomous systems in Hilbert spaces (Eden A, Foias C, Nicolaenko B, and Temam R Exponential attractors for dissipative evolution equations, Wiley, New York, 1994). The method is especially effective for non-autonomous partial functional differential equations for which phase space decomposition based on the exponential dichotomy of the linear part or variation techniques are available for proving squeezing property. The theoretical results are illustrated by applications to several specific non-autonomous partial functional differential equations, including a retarded reaction–diffusion equation, a retarded 2D Navier–Stokes equation and a retarded semilinear wave equation. The constructed exponential attractors possess explicit fractal dimensions which do not depend on the entropy number but only on some inner characteristics of the studied equations including the spectra of the linear part and the Lipschitz constants of the nonlinear terms and hence do not require the smooth embedding between two spaces in the previous work.

A dynamic-mode-decomposition-based acceleration method for unsteady adjoint equations at low Reynolds numbers

The computational cost of unsteady adjoint equations remains high in adjoint-based unsteady aerodynamic optimization. In this letter, the solution of unsteady adjoint equations is accelerated by dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). The pseudo-time marching of every real-time step is approximated as an infinite-dimensional linear dynamical system. Thereafter, DMD is utilized to analyze the adjoint vectors sampled from these pseudo-time marching. First-order zero frequency mode is selected to accelerate the pseudo-time marching of unsteady adjoint equations in every real-time step. Through flow past a stationary circular cylinder and an unsteady aerodynamic shape optimization example, the efficiency of solving unsteady adjoint equations is significantly improved. Results show that one hundred adjoint vectors contains enough information about the pseudo-time dynamics, and the adjoint dominant mode can be precisely predicted only by five snapshots produced from the adjoint vectors, which indicates DMD analysis for pseudo-time marching of unsteady adjoint equations is efficient.

Regularity of the attractor for a fractional Klein‐Gordon‐Schrödinger system with cubic nonlinearities

We study the long time behavior of the solutions for a weakly damped forced nonlinear fractional Klein‐Gordon‐Schrödinger system for a given considered in the whole space . We prove that this system provides an infinite dimensional dynamical system in that possesses a global attractor in the same space and more particularly that this attractor is in fact a compact set of .

On periodically modulated rolls in the generalized Swift–Hohenberg equation: Galerkin’ approximations

We study in this paper the existence of periodically modulated in one variable and localized in another variable solutions to the cubic Swift–Hohenberg equation on the plane R2. In the first part we try to apply the method by Kirschgässner–Mielke to reduce the problem to the search of finite dimensional submanifolds with periodic orbits on them in some formal infinite-dimensional dynamical system generated by the stationary SH equation. It turns out that it cannot be done immediately due to properties of the spectrum for the linearized system at the localized roll (a one-dimensional pulse). In the second part we change roles of variables and formulate the problem as funding homoclinic orbits to an equilibrium of the formal infinite-dimensional system in the space of periodic functions in variable y. Staying apart the proof of the exact theorem on the existence of related center manifold, we exploit the Bubnov–Galerkin method to derive the Hamiltonian finite-dimensional ODEs with four or six degrees of freedom having the saddle type equilibrium whose homoclinic orbits correspond to approximate solution on needed type. The search for homoclinic orbits is performed by means of numerical methods.

The Exponential Attractor for Partially Dissipative Lattice System of Infinite Dimension

With the wide application of fractional differential equations, the study of dynamic systems of fractional differential equations has become one of the hotspots in the past decade. The attractor theory is one of the research directions of infinite dimensional lattice dynamical system. In paper, Eden et al. Systematically introduced the exponential attractor of deterministic autonomous dynamical system, which is a compact positive invariant set with finite fractal dimension and attracting orbits at exponential rate. The exponential attractor has a finite fractal dimension. Because of the exponential attractiveness, the exponential attractor is more stable under perturbation than the global attractor. Fitzhugh Nagumo equation is a nonlinear partial equation that describes the periodic oscillation of neuronal action potential under constant current stimulation above the threshold. For Fitzhugh Nagumo system, there are many reports on attractors, but few reports on exponential attractors. In this paper, the infinite dimensional lattice Fitzhugh Nagumo system [4] is studied. The specific contents are as follows: In part 1, the background, development and research status of FitzHugh Nagumo lattice system and the main work of this paper are introduced. In part 2, the basic concepts, inequalities and lemmas required in the research of FitzHugh Nagumo lattice system are introduced. In part 3, the initial value problem of FitzHugh Nagumo lattice system is studied. For any initial value ϕ(0), there exists a unique solution ϕ(t) of system (9) and family of mapping S(t) can generate continuous operator semigroup {S(t)} t≥0 on ,. Through lemma 3.2,3.3,3.4, it can be proved that the continuous operator semigroup {S(t)} t≥0 satisfies uniform continuity and is asymptotically compact, thus proving the existence of the exponential attractor of the system.

Stability and local bifurcations of single-mode equilibrium states of the Ginzburg-Landau variational equation

One of the versions of the generalized variational Ginzburg-Landau equation is considered, supplemented by periodic boundary conditions. For such a boundary value problem, the question of existence, stability, and local bifurcations of single-mode equilibrium states is studied. It is shown that in the case of a nearly critical threefold zero eigenvalue, in the problem of stability of single-mode spatially inhomogeneous equilibrium states, subcritical bifurcations of two-dimensional invariant tori filled with spatially inhomogeneous equilibrium states are realized. The analysis of the stated problem is based on such methods of the theory of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems as the theory of invariant manifolds and the apparatus of normal forms. Asymptotic formulas are obtained for the solutions that form invariant tori.

Numerical dynamics of integrodifference equations

Integrodifference equations are versatile models in theoretical ecology for the spatial dispersal of species evolving in non-overlapping generations. The dynamics of these infinite-dimensional discrete dynamical systems is often illustrated using computational simulations. This paper studies the effect of Nyström discretization to the local dynamics of periodic integrodifference equations having Hölder continuous functions over a compact domain as state space. We prove persistence and convergence for hyperbolic periodic solutions and their associated stable and unstable manifolds respecting the convergence order of the quadrature/cubature method.

Boundary Fuzzy Output Tracking Control of Nonlinear Parabolic Infinite-Dimensional Dynamic Systems: Application to Cooling Process in Hot Strip Mills

This paper utilizes a combination of integral control, fuzzy control, and observer-based output feedback control to deal with the issue of nonlinear output tracking control (OTC) design for nonlinear infinite-dimensional dynamic systems. The system dynamics model is represented by a semi-linear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) with boundary control and non-collocated boundary measurement. Initially, a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy parabolic PDE model is constructed to surmount the OTC design difficulty from the infinite-dimensional nonlinear system dynamics. Subsequently, a fuzzy-observer-based OTC law is proposed via the T-S fuzzy PDE model and the integral control approach. Here, the integral control ensures asymptotic output regulation, and the observer-based output feedback control is employed to conquer the stabilizing control design difficulty caused by the non-collocation between control actuation and measurement. It is shown via the Lyapunov technique with variants of vector-valued Poincaré-Wirtinger's inequality that the suggested fuzzy OTC law drives the measurement output to asymptotically track the desired reference signal and ensures the boundedness of the resulting closed-loop system, provided that a sufficient condition given in the form of linear matrix inequalities is fulfilled. Moreover, the proposed fuzzy-model-based OTC design is also revised for the exponential stabilization case. Finally, extensive simulation results for a numerical example and a cooling process in hot strip mills are provided to examine the effectiveness and merit of the proposed fuzzy OTC scheme.

Pullback exponential attractors for second-order lattice system with nonstandard growth condition

In this paper, we study the existence of pullback attractors and pullback exponential attractors for lattice dynamical system in time-dependent sequence space. First, we introduce a new sequence space with time-dependent variable exponents. Second, two abstract criteria (or sufficient conditions) about the existence of pullback attractors and pullback exponential attractors are established for infinite dimensional lattice dynamical systems on time-dependent spaces of infinite sequences. Finally, for making full use of the above-mentioned abstract criteria, we consider a second order lattice system with nonstandard growth nonlinearity, and then the existence of bi-space pullback attractors and pullback exponential attractors on a time-dependent Musielak–Orlicz space is obtained. In particular, we point out that these criteria and analytical skills can be utilized to deal with other lattice systems satisfying nonstandard growth conditions.

Robustness of exponential attractors for infinite dimensional dynamical systems with small delay and application to 2D nonlocal diffusion delay lattice systems

We first present some sufficient conditions for the construction of a robust family of exponential attractors for infinite dimensional dynamical systems with small time delay perturbation. In particular, we prove that this family of exponential attractors is stable in the sense of the symmetric Hausdorff distance as the delay effects vanish. The abstract result is then applied to two-dimensional nonlocal diffusion lattice systems with small delay.

Quasi-periodic solutions for a class of wave equation system

In this paper, we establish an abstract infinite dimensional KAM theorem. As an application, we use the theorem to study the 1D wave equation system { u 1 tt − u 1 xx + σ u 1 + u 1 u 2 2 = 0 u 2 tt − u 2 xx + μ u 2 + u 1 2 u 2 = 0 under Dirichlet boundary conditions, where 0 < σ ∈ [ σ 1 , σ 2 ] ⊂ [ 0 , 1 ] , 0 < μ ∈ [ μ 1 , μ 2 ] ⊂ [ 0 , 1 ] are real parameters. By establishing a block-diagonal normal form, we obtain the existence of a Whitney smooth family of small amplitude quasi-periodic solutions corresponding to finite dimensional invariant tori of an associated infinite dimensional dynamic system.

Dynamics and regularity for non-autonomous reaction-diffusion equations with anomalous diffusion

This paper is concerned with the long time behavior of solutions for a non-autonomous reaction-diffusion equations with anomalous diffusion. Under suitable assumptions on nonlinearity and external force, the global well-posedness has been studied. Then the pullback attractors in L 2 ( Ω ) and H 0 α ( Ω ) ( 0 &lt; α &lt; 1) have been achieved with a restriction on the growth order of nonlinearity as 2 ⩽ p ⩽ 2 ( n − α ) n − 2 α . The results presented can be seen as the extension for classical theory of infinite dimensional dynamical system to the fractional diffusion equations.

On the Bilinear Second Order Differential Realization of an Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical System: An Approach Based on Extensions to M2-Operators

Considering the case of a continual bundle of controlled dynamic processes, the authors have studied the functional-geometric conditions of existence of non-stationary coefficients-operators from the differential realization of this bundle in the class of non-autonomous bilinear second-order differential equations in the separable Hilbert space. The problem under scrutiny belongs to the type of non-stationary coefficient-operator inverse problems for the bilinear evolution equations in the Hilbert space. The solution is constructed on the basis of usage of the functional Relay-Ritz operator. Under this mathematical problem statement, the case has been studied in detail when the operators to be modeled are burdened with the condition, which provides for entire continuity of the integral representation equations of the model of realization. Proposed is the entropy interpretation of the given problem of mathematical modeling of continual bundle dynamic processes in the context of development of the qualitative theory of differential realization of nonlinear state equations of complex infinite-dimensional behavioristic dynamical system.
