A recent model of Ariel et al. [1] for explaining the observation of Levy walks in swarming bacteria suggests that self-propelled, elongated particles in a periodic array of regular vortices perform a super-diffusion that is consistent with Levy walks. The equations of motion, which are reversible in time but not volume preserving, demonstrate a new route to Levy walking in chaotic systems. Here, the dynamics of the model is studied both analytically and numerically. It is shown that the apparent super-diffusion is due to sticking of trajectories to elliptic islands, regions of quasi-periodic orbits reminiscent of those seen in conservative systems. However, for certain parameter values, these islands coexist with asymptotically stable periodic trajectories, causing dissipative behavior on very long time scales.

For the case of generic 4D symplectic maps with a mixed phase space we investigate the global organization of regular tori. For this we compute elliptic 1-tori of two coupled standard maps and display them in a 3D phase-space slice. This visualizes how all regular 2-tori are organized around a skeleton of elliptic 1-tori in the 4D phase space. The 1-tori occur in two types of one-parameter families: (a) Lyapunov families emanating from elliptic-elliptic periodic orbits, which are observed to exist even far away from them and beyond major resonance gaps, and (b) families originating from rank-1 resonances. At resonance gaps of both types of families either (i) periodic orbits exist, similar to the Poincare-Birkhoff theorem for 2D maps, or (ii) the family may form large bends. In combination these results allow for describing the hierarchical structure of regular tori in the 4D phase space analogously to the islands-around-islands hierarchy in 2D maps.
We investigate the behavior of the Generalized Alignment Index of order $k$ (GALI$_k$) for regular orbits of multidimensional Hamiltonian systems. The GALI$_k$ is an efficient chaos indicator, which asymptotically attains positive values for regular motion when $2leq k leq N$, with $N$ being the dimension of the torus on which the motion occurs. By considering several regular orbits in the neighborhood of two typical simple, stable periodic orbits of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) $beta$ model for various values of the systems degrees of freedom, we show that the asymptotic GALI$_k$ values decrease when the indexs order $k$ increases and when the orbits energy approaches the periodic orbits destabilization energy where the stability island vanishes, while they increase when the considered regular orbit moves further away from the periodic one for a fixed energy. In addition, performing extensive numerical simulations we show that the indexs behavior does not depend on the choice of the initial deviation vectors needed for its evaluation.
We consider the motion of a particle subjected to the constant gravitational field and scattered inelasticaly by hard boundaries which possess the shape of parabola, wedge, and hyperbola. The billiard itself performs oscillations. The linear dependence of the restitution coefficient on the particle velocity is assumed. We demonstrate that this dynamical system can be either regular or chaotic, which depends on the billiard shape and the oscillation frequency. The trajectory calculations are compared with the experimental data; a good agreement has been achieved. Moreover, the properties of the system has been studied by means of the Lyapunov exponents and the Kaplan-Yorke dimension. Chaotic and nonuniform patterns visible in the experimental data are interpreted as a result of large embedding dimension.
A weak form of the Circle Criterion for Lure systems is stated. The result allows prove global boundedness of all system solutions. Moreover such a result can be employed to enlarge the set of nonlinearities for which the standard Circle Criterion can guarantee absolute stability.
Spatial distributions of heavy particles suspended in an incompressible isotropic and homogeneous turbulent flow are investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. In the dissipative range, it is shown that particles form fractal clusters with properties independent of the Reynolds number. Clustering is there optimal when the particle response time is of the order of the Kolmogorov time scale $tau_eta$. In the inertial range, the particle distribution is no longer scale-invariant. It is however shown that deviations from uniformity depend on a rescaled contraction rate, which is different from the local Stokes number given by dimensional analysis. Particle distribution is characterized by voids spanning all scales of the turbulent flow; their signature in the coarse-grained mass probability distribution is an algebraic behavior at small densities.
