Unstable periodic orbits analysis in the Qi system

We use the variational method to extract the short periodic orbits of the Qi system within a certain topological length.The chaotic dynamical behaviors of the Qi system with five equilibria are analyzed by the means of phase portraits,Lyapunov exponents,and Poincarémaps.Based on several periodic orbits with different sizes and shapes,they are encoded systematically with two letters or four letters for two different sets of parameters.The periodic orbits outside the attractor with complex topology are discovered by accident.In addition,the bifurcations of cycles and the bifurcations of equilibria in the Qi system are explored by different methods respectively.In this process,the rule of orbital period changing with parameters is also investigated.The calculation and classification method of periodic orbits in this study can be widely used in other similar low-dimensional dissipative systems.

PERSISTENCE AND PERIODIC ORBITS FOR TWO-SPECIES NON-AUTONOMOUS DIFFUSION LOTKA-VOLTERRA MODELS

A non-autonomous competing system is investigated in this paper,where the species x can diffuse between two patches of a heterogeneous environment with barriers between patches,but for species y,the diffusion does not involve a barrier between patches,further it is assumed that all the parameters are time dependent.It is shown that the system can be made persistent under some appropriate conditions.Moreover,sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of a unique positive periodic orbit which is globally asymptotic stable are derived.

Application of periodic orbit theory in chaos-based security analysis

Chaos-based encryption schemes have been studied extensively, while the security analysis methods for them are still problems to be resolved. Based on the periodic orbit theory, this paper proposes a novel security analysis method. The periodic orbits theory indicates that the fundamental frequency of the spiraling orbits is the natural frequency of associated linearized system, which is decided by the parameters of the chaotic system. Thus, it is possible to recover the plaintext of secure communication systems based on chaotic shift keying by getting the average time on the spiraling orbits. Analysis and simulation results show that the security analysis method can break chaos shift keying secure communication systems, which use the parameters as keys.

A review of periodic orbits in the circular restricted three-body problem

This review article aims to give a comprehensive review of periodic orbits in the circular restricted three-body problem(CRTBP),which is a standard ideal model for the Earth-Moon system and is closest to the practical mechanical model.It focuses the attention on periodic orbits in the Earth-Moon system.This work is primarily motivated by a series of missions and plans that take advantages of the three-body periodic orbits near the libration points or around two gravitational celestial bodies.Firstly,simple periodic orbits and their classification that is usually considered to be early work before 1970 are summarized,and periodic orbits around Lagrange points,either planar or three-dimensional,are intensively studied during past decades.Subsequently,stability index of a periodic orbit and bifurcation analysis are presented,which demonstrate a guideline to find more periodic orbits inspired by bifurcation signals.Then,the practical techniques for computing a wide range of periodic orbits and associated quasi-periodic orbits,as well as constructing database of periodic orbits by numerical searching techniques are also presented.For those unstable periodic orbits,the station keeping maneuvers are reviewed.Finally,the applications of periodic orbits are presented,including those in practical missions,under consideration,and still in conceptual design stage.This review article has the function of bridging between engineers and researchers,so as to make it more convenient and faster for engineers to understand the complex restricted three-body problem(RTBP).At the same time,it can also provide some technical thinking for general researchers.

Noise destroys the coexistence of periodic orbits of a piecewise linear map

The effects of Gaussian white noise and Gaussian colored noise on the periodic orbits of period-5（P-5） and period-6（P-6） in their coexisting domain of a piecewise linear map are investigated numerically.The probability densities of some orbits are calculated.When the noise intensity is D = 0.0001,only the orbits of P-5 exist,and the coexisting phenomenon is destroyed.On the other hand,the self-correlation time τ of the colored noise also affects the coexisting phenomenon.When τc〈τ〈τc,only the orbits of P-5 appear,and the stability of the orbits of P-5 is enhanced.However,when τ〉τc（τc and τc are critical values）,only the orbits of P-6 exist,and the stability of the P-6 orbits is enhanced greatly.When τ〈τc,the orbits of P-5 and P-6 coexist,but the stability of the P-5 orbits is enhanced and that of P-6 is weakened with τ increasing.

Bifurcations of Periodic Orbits for a Four-Dimensional System

Consider a four-dimensional system having a two-dimensional invariant surface. By analyzing the solutions of bifurcation equations, this paper studied the bifurcation phenomena of a k multiple closed orbit in the invariant surface. Sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic orbits generated by the k multiple closed orbit were given.

Periodic Orbits in Rotating Second Degree and Order Gravity Fields

Periodic orbits in an arbitrary 2nd degree and order uniformly rotating gravity field are studied. We investigate the four equilibrium points in this gravity field. We see that close relation exists between the stability of these equilibria and the existence and stability of their nearby periodic orbits. We check the periodic orbits with non-zero periods. In our searching procedure for these periodic orbits, we remove the two unity eigenvalues from the state transition matrix to find a robust, non-singular linear map to solve for the periodic orbits. The algorithm converges well, especially for stable periodic orbits. Using the searching procedure, which is relatively automatic, we find five basic families of periodic orbits in the rotating second degree and order gravity field for planar motion, and discuss their existence and stability at different central body rotation rates.

Periodic orbits around areostationary points in the Martian gravity field

This study investigates the problem of areostationary orbits around Mars in three-dimensional space. Areostationary orbits are expected to be used to establish a future telecommunication network for the exploration of Mars. However, no artificial satellites have been placed in these orbits thus far. The characteristics of the Martian gravity field are presented, and areostationary points and their linear stability are cal- culated. By taking linearized solutions in the planar case as the initial guesses and utilizing the Levenberg-Marquardt method, families of periodic orbits around areo- stationary points are shown to exist. Short-period orbits and long-period orbits are found around linearly stable areostationary points, but only short-period orbits are found around unstable areostationary points. Vertical periodic orbits around both lin- early stable and unstable areostationary points are also examined. Satellites in these periodic orbits could depart from areostationary points by a few degrees in longitude, which would facilitate observation of the Martian topography. Based on the eigenval- ues of the monodromy matrix, the evolution of the stability index of periodic orbits is determined. Finally, heteroclinic orbits connecting the two unstable areostationary points are found, providing the possibility for orbital transfer with minimal energy consumption.

ORBITAL STABILITY OF PERIODIC TRAVELING WAVE SOLUTIONS TO THE GENERALIZED ZAKHAROV EQUATIONS

This paper investigates the orbital stability of periodic traveling wave solutions to the generalized Zakharov equations {iu ＋uxx = uv ＋ ｜u｜^2u, vtt-vxx=（｜u｜^2）xx.First, we prove the existence of a smooth curve of positive traveling wave solutions of dnoidal type with a fixed fundamental period L for the generalized Zakharov equations. Then, by using the classical method proposed by Benjamin, Bona et al., we show that this solution is orbitally stable by perturbations with period L. The results on the orbital stability of periodic traveling wave solutions for the generalized Zakharov equations in this paper can be regarded as a perfect extension of the results of [15, 16, 19].

POSITIVE HOMOCLINIC ORBITS FOR A CLASS OF ASYMPTOTICALLY PERIODIC SECOND ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

This note studies the existence of positive homoclinic orbits of the second order equation-u″+α(x)u=β(x)u q+γ(x)u p, x∈R,where 1<q<p.Assume that the coefficient functions α(x),β(x) and γ(x) are asymptotically periodic and satisfy0<a≤α(x), 0<γ(x)≤B, -M≤β(x)≤M.A positive homoclinic orbit of the equation is obtained by means of variational methods.

Periodic Orbits in the Photogravitational Restricted Problem When the Primaries Are Triaxial Rigid Bodies

We have studied periodic orbits generated by Lagrangian solutions of the restricted three-body problem when both the primaries are triaxial rigid bodies and source of radiation pressure. We have determined periodic orbits for different values of (h is energy constant;μ is mass ratio of the two primaries;are parameters of triaxial rigid bodies and are radiation parameters). These orbits have been determined by giving displacements along the tangent and normal at the mobile co-ordinates as defined in our papers (Mittal et al. [1]-[3]). These orbits have been drawn by using the predictor-corrector method. We have also studied the effect of triaxial bodies and source of radiation pressure on the periodic orbits by taking fixed value of μ.

Topological classification of periodic orbits in Lorenz system

We systematically investigate the periodic orbits of the Lorenz flow up to certain topological length. As an alternative to Poincar6 section map analysis, we propose a new approach for establishing one-dimensional symbolic dynamics based on the topological structure of the orbit. A newly designed variational method is stable numerically for cycle searching, and two orbital fragments can be used as basic building blocks for initialization. The topological classification based on the entire orbital structure is revealed to be effective. The deformation of periodic orbits with the change of parameters provides a chart to the periods of cycles. The current research may provide a methodology for finding and systematically classifying periodic orbits in other similar chaotic flows.

COEXISTING PERIODIC ORBITS IN VIBRO-IMPACTING DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

A method is presented to seek for coexisting periodic orbits which may be stable or unstable in piecewise-linear vibro-impacting systems. The conditions for coexistence of single impact periodic orbits are derived, and in particular, it is investigated in details how to assure that no other impacts will happen in an evolution period of a single impact periodic motion. Furthermore, some criteria for nonexistence of single impact periodic orbits with specific periods are also established. Finally, the stability of coexisting periodic orbits is discussed, and the corresponding computation formula is given. Examples of numerical simulation are in good agreement with the theoretic analysis.

Existence of periodic orbits and shift-invariant curve sequences near multiple homoclinics

In this paper, the complicated dynamics is studied near a double homoclinic loops with bellows configuration for general systems. For the non-twisted multiple homoclinics, the existence of periodic orbit with the specified route and the existence of shift-invariant curve sequences defined on the cross sections of multiple homoclinics corresponding to any specified one-side infinite sequences are given. In addition, the existence regions are also located.

PERIODIC ORBITS IN PERTURBED GENERALIZED HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS

In this paper, we develop a global perturbation technique for the study of periodic orbits in three-dimensional, time dependent and independent, perturbations of generalized Hamiltonian differential equations defined on three-dimensional Poisson manifolds. We give existence, stability and bifurcation theorems and illustrate our results with a truncated spectral model of the forced, dissipative quasi-geostrophic flow on a cyclic beta-plane.

The Centres of Gravity of Periodic Orbits

Let f ： I → I be a continuous map. If P （n, f） = {x ∈I; fn （x） = x} is a finite set for each n ∈ N, then there exits an anticentered map topologically conjugate to f, which partially answers a question of Kolyada and Snoha. Specially, there exits an anticentered map topologically conjugate to the standard tent map.

Construction of Periodic Orbits and Chaos

In contrast to the main stream of studying the chaotic behavior of a given map, constructing chaotic map has attracted much less attention. In this paper, we propose simple analytical method for constructing one dimensional continuous maps with certain specific periodic points.Further, we obtain results for the existence of chaotic phenomenon in the sense of Li and Yorke. Some examples are also analyzed using the proposed methods.

Detecting Unstable Periodic Orbits in Hyperchaotic Systems Using Subspace Fixed-Point Iteration

We present a numerical method for efficiently detecting unstable periodic orbits(UPO’s)embedded in chaotic attractors of high-dimensional systems.This method,which we refer to as subspace fixed-point iteration, locates fixed points of Poincare maps using a form of fixed-point iteration that splits the phase space into appropriate subspaces.In this paper,among a number of possible implementations,we primarily focus on a subspace method based on the Schmelcher-Diakonos(SD)method that selectively locates UPO’s by varying a stabilizing matrix,and present some applications of the resulting subspace SD method to hyperchaotic attractors where the UPO’s have more than one unstable direction.
