Abstract

We consider discrete-time dynamical systems generated by the iteration of asymptotically autonomous maps, whose asymptotic behavior may be either conservative or dissipative. These systems are of particular interest in the modeling of complex phenomena with time-dependent parameter variation. With an appropriate time compactification, the past and future infinity become normally hyperbolic invariant hyperplanes, and thus the plausible asymptotic states of the system can be determined by considering the appropriate fibers of the stable and unstable foliations or suitable sections of the asymptotic manifolds to their compact invariant subsets. In this context, we explore how tipping induced by a change of phase--namely, how a phase shift affects the evolution of the system--is encoded in the unstable manifolds of compact invariant subsets of the past equation. We further connect the tipping phenomenon to the splitting of invariant manifolds and identify certain system reversibilities able to prevent tipping. The theoretical framework we use clarifies the relationships among the various notions of tipping induced by phase-change introduced in the literature.

ACIM instability of piecewise expanding maps through the lens of metastability

Motivated by Keller's W-shaped maps and its variants, we introduce a general class of families of expanding maps such that the perturbed maps have a shrinking almost invariant neighborhood about a fixed point of the limit map. The unique absolutely continuous invariant measures (ACIM) of the perturbed maps can converge...

On Algebraic-Dynamical Correspondence of Oscillatory Blow-Up Solutions for ODEs

We develop an algebraic-dynamical correspondence for type-I oscillatory blow-up solutions of autonomous ODEs with asymptotically quasi-homogeneous vector fields. Periodic solutions of the balance law arising from asymptotic expansions of blow-ups are related to periodic orbits on the horizon for the desingularized vect...

Dynamic Bifurcation of Nonautonomous Evolution Equations: Invariant Manifold Methods

In this paper, we use the global invariant manifold and the reduced singular cohomology groups method, which is different from those in the literature, to study the dynamic bifurcation from infinity of the nonautonomous evolution equation in terms of invariant sets by applying the Conley index theory (due to Rybakowski...

Synchronization and Averaging in Partially Hyperbolic Systems with Fast and Slow Variables

We consider a family of dynamical systems obtained by coupling an Anosov map on the two-dimensional torus—the chaotic system —with the identity map on the one-dimensional torus—the neutral system —through a dissipative interaction. Firstly, we show that the two systems synchronize: the trajectories evolve towar...

Torus Bifurcation in the Hopf-Langford type system through Averaging Theory

We study the existence of periodic solutions and invariant tori bifurcating from a zero-Hopf equilibrium in a Hopf-Langford type system. Using second-order averaging theory, we establish explicit parameter conditions under which the system admits a periodic solution near the origin, together with its stability. We then...

Wasserstein Contraction of Stochastic Systems on Manifolds: A Differential Approach

Contraction analysis of dynamical systems turns a global convergence problem into a local one. If the variational system is stable in a uniform sense, then all trajectories of the original system converge toward each other. This paper develops a stochastic analogue for continuous-time stochastic systems, where converge...
