Abstract

The continuum limit provides a useful tool for analyzing coupled oscillator networks. Recently, Medvedev (Comm. Math. Sci., 17 (2019), no. 4, pp. 883-898) gave a mathematical foundation for such an approach when the networks are defined on single graphs which may be dense or sparse, directed or undirected, and deterministic or random. In this paper, we consider coupled oscillator networks depending on multiple graphs, and extend his results to show that the continuum limit is also valid in this situation. Specifically, we prove that the initial value problem (IVP) of the corresponding continuum limit has a unique solution under general conditions and that the solution becomes the limit of those to the IVP of the networks in some adequate meaning. Moreover, we show that if solutions to the networks are stable or asymptotically stable when the node number is sufficiently large, then so are the corresponding solutions to the continuum limit, and that if solutions to the continuum limit are asymptotically stable, then so are the corresponding solutions to the networks in some weak meaning as the node number tends to infinity. These results can also be applied to coupled oscillator networks with multiple frequencies by regarding the frequencies as a weight matrix of another graph. We illustrate the theory for three variants of the Kuramoto model along with numerical simulations.

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.
