Abstract

We study a scalar DDE with two delayed feedback terms that depend linearly on the state. The associated constant-delay DDE, obtained by freezing the state dependence, is linear and without recurrent dynamics. With state dependent delay terms, on the other hand, the DDE shows very complicated dynamics. To investigate this, we perform a bifurcation analysis of the system and present its bifurcation diagram in the plane of the two feedback strengths. It is organized by Hopf-Hopf bifurcation points that give rise to curves of torus bifurcation and associated two-frequency dynamics in the form of invariant tori and resonance tongues. We numerically determine the type of the Hopf-Hopf bifurcation points by computing the normal form on the center manifold; this requires the expansion of the functional defining the state-dependent DDE in a power series whose terms up to order three only contain constant delays. We implemented this expansion and the computation of the normal form coefficients in Matlab using symbolic differentiation. Numerical continuation of the torus bifurcation curves confirms the correctness of our normal form calculations. Moreover, it enables us to compute the curves of torus bifurcations more globally, and to find associated curves of saddle-node bifurcations of periodic orbits that bound the resonance tongues. The tori themselves are computed and visualized in a three-dimensional projection, as well as the planar trace of a suitable Poincar\'e section. In particular, we compute periodic orbits on locked tori and their associated unstable manifolds. This allows us to study transitions through resonance tongues and the breakup of a 1:4 locked torus. The work presented here demonstrates that state dependence alone is capable of generating a wealth of dynamical phenomena.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
