We investigate the resonance spectrum of the Henon-Heiles potential up to twice the barrier energy. The quantum spectrum is obtained by the method of complex coordinate rotation. We use periodic orbit theory to approximate the oscillating part of the resonance spectrum semiclassically and Strutinsky smoothing to obtain its smooth part. Although the system in this energy range is almost chaotic, it still contains stable periodic orbits. Using Gutzwillers trace formula, complemented by a uniform approximation for a codimension-two bifurcation scenario, we are able to reproduce the coarse-grained quantum-mechanical density of states very accurately, including only a few stable and unstable orbits.
We discuss the coarse-grained level density of the Henon-Heiles system above the barrier energy, where the system is nearly chaotic. We use periodic orbit theory to approximate its oscillating part semiclassically via Gutzwillers semiclassical trace formula (extended by uniform approximations for the contributions of bifurcating orbits). Including only a few stable and unstable orbits, we reproduce the quantum-mechanical density of states very accurately. We also present a perturbative calculation of the stabilities of two infinite series of orbits (R$_n$ and L$_m$), emanating from the shortest librating straight-line orbit (A) in a bifurcation cascade just below the barrier, which at the barrier have two common asymptotic Lyapunov exponents $chi_{rm R}$ and $chi_{rm L}$.
Recently, there has been provided two chaotic models based on the twist-deformation of classical Henon-Heiles system. First of them has been constructed on the well-known, canonical space-time noncommutativity, while the second one on the Lie-algebraically type of quantum space, with two spatial directions commuting to classical time. In this article, we find the direct link between mentioned above systems, by synchronization both of them in the framework of active control method. Particularly, we derive at the canonical phase-space level the corresponding active controllers as well as we perform (as an example) the numerical synchronization of analyzed models.
We investigate the stability of a one-parameter family of periodic solutions of the four-vortex problem known as `leapfrogging orbits. These solutions, which consist of two pairs of identical yet oppositely-signed vortices, were known to W. Grobli (1877) and A. E. H. Love (1883), and can be parameterized by a dimensionless parameter $alpha$ related to the geometry of the initial configuration. Simulations by Acheson (2000) and numerical Floquet analysis by Toph{o}j and Aref (2012) both indicate, to many digits, that the bifurcation occurs when $1/alpha=phi^2$, where $phi$ is the golden ratio. This study aims to explain the origin of this remarkable value. Using a trick from the gravitational two-body problem, we change variables to render the Floquet problem in an explicit form that is more amenable to analysis. We then implement G. W. Hills method of harmonic balance to high order using computer algebra to construct a rapidly-converging sequence of asymptotic approximations to the bifurcation value, confirming the value found earlier.
The inner structure of the attractor appearing when the Varley-Gradwell-Hassell population model bifurcates from regular to chaotic behaviour is studied. By algebraic and geometric arguments the coexistence of a continuum of neutrally stable limit cycles with different periods in the attractor is explained.
