Book Renormalization And Geometry In One dimensional And Complex Dynamics

Download or read book Renormalization And Geometry In One dimensional And Complex Dynamics written by Yunping Jiang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996-09-20 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About one and a half decades ago, Feigenbaum observed that bifurcations, from simple dynamics to complicated ones, in a family of folding mappings like quadratic polynomials follow a universal rule (Coullet and Tresser did some similar observation independently). This observation opened a new way to understanding transition from nonchaotic systems to chaotic or turbulent system in fluid dynamics and many other areas. The renormalization was used to explain this observed universality. This research monograph is intended to bring the reader to the frontier of this active research area which is concerned with renormalization and rigidity in real and complex one-dimensional dynamics. The research work of the author in the past several years will be included in this book. Most recent results and techniques developed by Sullivan and others for an understanding of this universality as well as the most basic and important techniques in the study of real and complex one-dimensional dynamics will also be included here.

Book Julia Sets and Complex Singularities of Free Energies

Download or read book Julia Sets and Complex Singularities of Free Energies written by Jianyong Qiao and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author studies a family of renormalization transformations of generalized diamond hierarchical Potts models through complex dynamical systems. He proves that the Julia set (unstable set) of a renormalization transformation, when it is treated as a complex dynamical system, is the set of complex singularities of the free energy in statistical mechanics. He gives a sufficient and necessary condition for the Julia sets to be disconnected. Furthermore, he proves that all Fatou components (components of the stable sets) of this family of renormalization transformations are Jordan domains with at most one exception which is completely invariant. In view of the problem in physics about the distribution of these complex singularities, the author proves here a new type of distribution: the set of these complex singularities in the real temperature domain could contain an interval. Finally, the author studies the boundary behavior of the first derivative and second derivative of the free energy on the Fatou component containing the infinity. He also gives an explicit value of the second order critical exponent of the free energy for almost every boundary point.

Book Dynamics  Games and Science

Download or read book Dynamics Games and Science written by Jean-Pierre Bourguignon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this volume is research carried out as part of the program Mathematics of Planet Earth, which provides a platform to showcase the essential role of mathematics in addressing problems of an economic and social nature and creating a context for mathematicians and applied scientists to foster mathematical and interdisciplinary developments that will be necessary to tackle a myriad of issues and meet future global economic and social challenges. Earth is a planet with dynamic processes in its mantle, oceans and atmosphere creating climate, causing natural disasters and influencing fundamental aspects of life and life-supporting systems. In addition to these natural processes, human activity has developed highly complex systems, including economic and financial systems; the World Wide Web; frameworks for resource management, transportation, energy production and utilization; health care delivery, and social organizations. This development has increased to the point where it impacts the stability and equilibrium in human societies. Issues such as financial and economic crisis, sustainability, management of resources, risk analysis, and global integration have come to the fore. Written by some of the world’s leading specialists, this book presents the proceedings of the International Conference and Advanced School Planet Earth, Dynamics, Games and Science II, held in Lisbon, Portugal, 28 August -6 September 2013, which was organized by the International Center of Mathematics (CIM) as a partner institution of the international program Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013. The book describes the state of the art in advanced research and ultimate techniques in modeling natural, economic and social phenomena. It constitutes a tool and a framework for researchers and graduate students, both in mathematics and applied sciences, focusing mainly on dynamical systems, game theory and applied sciences.

Book Combinatorial Dynamics And Entropy In Dimension One  2nd Edition

Download or read book Combinatorial Dynamics And Entropy In Dimension One 2nd Edition written by Luis Alseda and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2000-10-31 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to the two main directions of one-dimensional dynamics. The first has its roots in the Sharkovskii theorem, which describes the possible sets of periods of all cycles (periodic orbits) of a continuous map of an interval into itself. The whole theory, which was developed based on this theorem, deals mainly with combinatorial objects, permutations, graphs, etc.; it is called combinatorial dynamics. The second direction has its main objective in measuring the complexity of a system, or the degree of “chaos” present in it; for that the topological entropy is used. The book analyzes the combinatorial dynamics and topological entropy for the continuous maps of either an interval or the circle into itself.

Book Conformal Dynamics and Hyperbolic Geometry

Download or read book Conformal Dynamics and Hyperbolic Geometry written by Francis Bonahon and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the Conference on Conformal Dynamics and Hyperbolic Geometry, held October 21-23, 2010, in honor of Linda Keen's 70th birthday. This volume provides a valuable introduction to problems in conformal and hyperbolic geometry and one dimensional, conformal dynamics. It includes a classic expository article by John Milnor on the structure of hyperbolic components of the parameter space for dynamical systems arising from the iteration of polynomial maps in the complex plane. In addition there are foundational results concerning Teichmuller theory, the geometry of Fuchsian and Kleinian groups, domain convergence properties for the Poincare metric, elaboration of the theory of the universal solenoid, the geometry of dynamical systems acting on a circle, and realization of Thompson's group as a mapping class group for a uniformly asymptotically affine circle endomorphism. The portion of the volume dealing with complex dynamics will appeal to a diverse group of mathematicians. Recently many researchers working in a wide range of topics, including topology, algebraic geometry, complex analysis, and dynamical systems, have become involved in aspects of this field.

Book Progress in Holomorphic Dynamics

Download or read book Progress in Holomorphic Dynamics written by Hartje Kriete and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-05-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, complex dynamical systems have received widespread public attention and emerged as one of the most active fields of mathematical research. Starting where other monographs in the subject end, Progress in Holomorphic Dynamics advances the theoretical aspects and recent results in complex dynamical systems, with particular emphasis on Siegel discs. Organized into four parts, the papers in this volume grew out of three workshops: two hosted by the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and one at the "Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach." Part I addresses linearization. The authors review Yoccoz's proof that the Brjuno condition is the optimal condition for linearizability of indifferent fixed points and offer a treatment of Perez-Marco's refinement of Yoccoz's work. Part II discusses the conditions necessary for the boundary of a Siegel disc to contain a critical point, builds upon Herman's work, and offers a survey of the state-of-the-art regarding the boundaries of Siegel discs. Part III deals with the topology of Julia sets with Siegel discs and contains a remarkable highlight: C.L. Petersen establishes the existence of Siegel discs of quadratic polynomials with a locally connected boundary. Keller, taking a different approach, explains the relations between locally connected "real Julia sets" with Siegel discs and the abstract concepts of kneading sequences and itineraries. Part IV closes the volume with four papers that review the different directions of present research in iteration theory. It includes discussions on the relations between commuting rational functions and their Julia sets, interactions between the iteration of polynomials and the iteration theory of entire transcendental functions, a deep analysis of the topology of the limbs of the Mandelbrot set, and an overview of complex dynamics in higher dimensions.

Book Methods In Equivariant Bifurcations And Dynamical Systems

Download or read book Methods In Equivariant Bifurcations And Dynamical Systems written by Pascal Chossat and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2000-02-28 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable book presents a comprehensive introduction to bifurcation theory in the presence of symmetry, an applied mathematical topic which has developed considerably over the past twenty years and has been very successful in analysing and predicting pattern formation and other critical phenomena in most areas of science where nonlinear models are involved, like fluid flow instabilities, chemical waves, elasticity and population dynamics.The book has two aims. One is to expound the mathematical methods of equivariant bifurcation theory. Beyond the classical bifurcation tools, such as center manifold and normal form reductions, the presence of symmetry requires the introduction of the algebraic and geometric formalism of Lie group theory and transformation group methods. For the first time, all these methods in equivariant bifurcations are presented in a coherent and self-consistent way in a book.The other aim is to present the most recent ideas and results in this theory, in relation to applications. This includes bifurcations of relative equilibria and relative periodic orbits for compact and noncompact group actions, heteroclinic cycles and forced symmetry-breaking perturbations. Although not all recent contributions could be included and a choice had to be made, a rather complete description of these new developments is provided. At the end of every chapter, exercises are offered to the reader.

Book Rayleigh benard Convection  Structures And Dynamics

Download or read book Rayleigh benard Convection Structures And Dynamics written by Alexander V Getling and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998-03-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable book presents a concise but systematic account of the formation of spatial flow structures in a horizontal fluid layer heated from below. Flows of this type, known as Rayleigh-Bénard convection, show important features of behaviour inherent not only in various hydrodynamic-instability phenomena but also in nonlinear pattern-forming processes in other contexts. The book describes the basic methods of investigating convection patterns, and the types of two- and three-dimensional flows, pattern defects, and sequences of convection-regime changes.The author pays special attention to the question of how various factors (mainly reducible to initial and boundary conditions) determine the shapes and sizes of the structures which develop. In this way, the role of order and disorder in flow patterns, as a factor strongly affecting the character of the evolution of structures, is revealed. The presentation emphasizes the physical picture of these phenomena, without excessive mathematical detail.

Book Geometrical Theory Of Dynamical Systems And Fluid Flows  Revised Edition

Download or read book Geometrical Theory Of Dynamical Systems And Fluid Flows Revised Edition written by Tsutomu (Jixin) Kambe and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2009-12-28 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an introductory textbook on the geometrical theory of dynamical systems, fluid flows and certain integrable systems. The topics are interdisciplinary and extend from mathematics, mechanics and physics to mechanical engineering, and the approach is very fundamental. The main theme of this book is a unified formulation to understand dynamical evolutions of physical systems within mathematical ideas of Riemannian geometry and Lie groups by using well-known examples. Underlying mathematical concepts include transformation invariance, covariant derivative, geodesic equation and curvature tensors on the basis of differential geometry, theory of Lie groups and integrability. These mathematical theories are applied to physical systems such as free rotation of a top, surface wave of shallow water, action principle in mechanics, diffeomorphic flow of fluids, vortex motions and some integrable systems.In the latest edition, a new formulation of fluid flows is also presented in a unified fashion on the basis of the gauge principle of theoretical physics and principle of least action along with new type of Lagrangians. A great deal of effort has been directed toward making the description elementary, clear and concise, to provide beginners easy access to the topics.

Book Integrability and Nonintegrability of Dynamical Systems

Download or read book Integrability and Nonintegrability of Dynamical Systems written by Alain Goriely and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable book examines qualitative and quantitative methods for nonlinear differential equations, as well as integrability and nonintegrability theory. Starting from the idea of a constant of motion for simple systems of differential equations, it investigates the essence of integrability, its geometrical relevance and dynamical consequences. Integrability theory is approached from different perspectives, first in terms of differential algebra, then in terms of complex time singularities and finally from the viewpoint of phase geometry (for both Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian systems). As generic systems of differential equations cannot be exactly solved, the book reviews the different notions of nonintegrability and shows how to prove the nonexistence of exact solutions and/or a constant of motion. Finally, nonintegrability theory is linked to dynamical systems theory by showing how the property of complete integrability, partial integrability or nonintegrability can be related to regular and irregular dynamics in phase space. Contents: Integrability: An Algebraic Approach; Integrability: An Analytic Approach; Polynomial and Quasi-Polynomial Vector Fields; Nonintegrability; Hamiltonian Systems; Nearly Integrable Dynamical Systems; Open Problems. Readership: Mathematical and theoretical physicists and astronomers and engineers interested in dynamical systems.

Book Topics in Nonlinear Time Series Analysis

Download or read book Topics in Nonlinear Time Series Analysis written by Andreas Galka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough review of a class of powerful algorithms for the numerical analysis of complex time series data which were obtained from dynamical systems. These algorithms are based on the concept of state space representations of the underlying dynamics, as introduced by nonlinear dynamics. In particular, current algorithms for state space reconstruction, correlation dimension estimation, testing for determinism and surrogate data testing are presented ? algorithms which have been playing a central role in the investigation of deterministic chaos and related phenomena since 1980. Special emphasis is given to the much-disputed issue whether these algorithms can be successfully employed for the analysis of the human electroencephalogram.
