We consider the motion of an electron in an atom subjected to a strong linearly polarized laser field. We identify the invariant structures organizing a very specific subset of trajectories, namely recollisions. Recollisions are trajectories which first escape the ionic core (i.e., ionize) and later return to this ionic core, for instance, to transfer the energy gained during the large excursion away from the core to bound electrons. We consider the role played by the directions transverse to the polarization direction in the recollision process. We compute the family of two-dimensional invariant tori associated with a specific hyperbolic-elliptic periodic orbit and their stable and unstable manifolds. We show that these manifolds organize recollisions in phase space.

We propose to compute approximations to general invariant sets in dynamical systems by minimizing the distance between an appropriately selected finite set of points and its image under the dynamics. We demonstrate, through computational experiments that this approach can successfully converge to approximations of (maximal) invariant sets of arbitrary topology, dimension and stability as, e.g., saddle type invariant sets with complicated dynamics. We further propose to extend this approach by adding a Lennard-Jones type potential term to the objective function which yields more evenly distributed approximating finite point sets and perform corresponding numerical experiments.
Two classes of time-periodic systems of ordinary differential equations with a small nonnegative parameter, those with fast and slow time, are studied. Right-hand sides of these systems are three times continuously differentiable with respect to phase variables and the parameter, the corresponding unperturbed systems are autonomous, conservative and have nine equilibrium points. For the perturbed systems, which do not depend on the parameter explicitly, we obtain the conditions yielding that the initial system has a certain number of two-dimensional invariant surfaces homeomorphic to a torus for each sufficiently small values of parameter and the formulas of such surfaces. A class of systems with seven invariant surfaces enclosing different configurations of equilibrium points is studied as an example of applications of our method.
Invariant manifolds are of fundamental importance to the qualitative understanding of dynamical systems. In this work, we explore and extend MacKays converse KAM condition to obtain a sufficient condition for the nonexistence of invariant surfaces that are transverse to a chosen 1D foliation. We show how useful foliations can be constructed from approximate integrals of the system. This theory is implemented numerically for two models, a particle in a two-wave potential and a Beltrami flow studied by Zaslavsky (Q-flows). These are both 3D volume-preserving flows, and they exemplify the dynamics seen in time-dependent Hamiltonian systems and incompressible fluids, respectively. Through both numerical and theoretical considerations, it is revealed how to choose foliations that capture the nonexistence of invariant tori with varying homologies.
Increasing ellipticity usually suppresses the recollision probability drastically. In contrast, we report on a recollision channel with large return energy and a substantial probability, regardless of the ellipticity. The laser envelope plays a dominant role in the energy gained by the electron, and in the conditions under which the electron comes back to the core. We show that this recollision channel eciently triggers multiple ionization with an elliptically polarized pulse.
For the study of chaotic dynamics and dimension of attractors the concepts of the Lyapunov exponents was found useful and became widely spread. Such characteristics of chaotic behavior, as the Lyapunov dimension and the entropy rate, can be estimated via the Lyapunov exponents. In this work an analytical approach to the study of the Lyapunov dimension, convergency and entropy for a dynamical model of Chua memristor circuit is demonstrated.
