Abstract

The energy-based dual-phase dynamics identification (EDDI) method is a new data-driven technique for the discovery of equations of motion (EOMs) of strongly nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillators. This research uses the EDDI method to obtain mathematical models for SDOF systems with clearance nonlinearities. The first key aspect of the EDDI method is that it relates the kinetic energy of the system to the dissipated energy and the underlying non-conservative forces acting on the oscillator. The second key aspect is that the EOM is identified with only knowledge of the mass of the oscillator and the transient response. The first phase of the EDDI method constructs the dissipated energy from the kinetic energy, then identifies a mathematical model for the damping based on the dissipated energy. To achieve this, the moments in time when the displacements are zero, where the mechanical and kinetic energies are equal, are used to compute the energy dissipated by the damping of the system. The second phase begins by computing the conservative force acting on the oscillator from either a balance of the other forces in the system or through the Lagrange equation. Finally, the stiffness model is determined by solving a set of linear equations to construct a mathematical model for the conservative (elastic) force. The governing equations are discovered by incorporating both the damping and stiffness terms. The method is demonstrated by employing analytical and real measured responses of nonlinear SDOF systems with different clearances nonlinearities, which shows that the proposed approach is suitable for non-smooth mechanical systems as well as smooth systems.

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.
