Abstract

The instanton-noninstanton (I-NI) transition in the tunneling process, which has been numerically observed in classically nonintegrable quantum maps, can be described by a perturbation theory based on an integrable Hamiltonian renormalized so as to incorporate the integrable part of the map. The renormalized perturbation theory is successfully applied to the two quantum maps, the Hénon and standard maps. In spite of different nature of tunneling in the two systems, the I-NI transition exhibits very common characteristics. In particular, the manifestation of I-NI transition is obviously explained by a remarkable quenching of the renormalized transition matrix element. The enhancement of tunneling probability after the transition can be understood as a sudden change of the tunneling mechanism from the instanton to quite a different mechanism supported by classical flows just outside of the stable-unstable manifolds of the saddle on the top of the potential barrier.

Linear Response Predicts Cusp-Pair Births in Networks with a Localized Cubic

Linear response is cheap to measure; the bistability boundaries it organizes are not. For a passive network with one localized cubic, the driving-point receptance $G$ fixes the period-one cusp set at fundamental-harmonic order: cusps lie on a fixed phase contour of $G$, a tangency of that contour under parameter variation creates a pair, and its curvature separates a gap opening from an isolated loop. For a two-mode absorber the linear prediction locates a benchmark birth coupling to $0.3\%$, and to $0.03\%$ once a third-harmonic correction of scale $|G(3\Omega)/G(\Omega)|$ is included.

Dynamics Creation through Neural Dynamical Transfer Learning

Data-driven machine learning has established a robust foundation for reconstructing nonlinear dynamical systems from observations, primarily for the purposes of forecasting and control. However, most existing efforts focus on recovering specific observed dynamics rather than the generative synthesis of new ones. Inspired by image fusion and style transfer, we introduce a neural network framework termed Neural Dynamical Transfer Learning (NDTL) to create new systems with prescribed dynamics from pairs of parent nonlinear dynamical systems. By computing fundamental dynamical signatures, including the intrinsic dimension, the Kaplan-Yorke dimension, the invariant measure statistics, and the Lyapunov spectrum, we demonstrate that NDTL preserves key features inherited from the parent models while simultaneously generating novel dynamics. Beyond these validation examples, NDTL induces a criterion for dynamics classification, creates stable oscillatory coexistence in the Hastings-Powell food chain model, produces interpretable epidemiological models, and provides a chaotic source for image encryption.

The Spectral Skeleton of Chaos: Koopman Wave Packets on Poincar\'e Sections

A Poincar\'e section replaces a flow by a return map, but for a chaotic system this map is usually known only from sampled crossings. We show that coarse transport can be read directly from Koopman spectral data, without fitting the map. Measure-preserving EDMD retains the isometric structure; riggedDMD then approximates spectral measures and constructs finite regularized wave packets. Packet phase supplies a finite-resolution transport coordinate; low modulus marks a singular skeleton where the phase becomes ill-conditioned. We demonstrate the idea on the R\"ossler system, a 32-mode Kuramoto--Sivashinsky Galerkin system, and the forced Duffing oscillator. The packets yield coarse symbolic models on sections ranging from an almost one-dimensional curve to a visibly thick set. Their graphs organize observed low-period orbits and guide targeted searches for others. In Duffing Regime~II, a seven-region rule accounts for $91\%$--$94\%$ of filtered one-step transitions, while failures in the lowest retained modulus decile occur at $5.08$--$5.20$ times the overall rate. The packets are not Koopman eigenfunctions, nor are the regions exact Markov partitions. Together these computations show how spectral information beyond isolated eigenpairs can expose chaotic transport directly from trajectories.
