Identification of limit sets of a non-ideal system: spherical pendulum-excitation source

Abstract

We investigate the long-term dynamics of a five-dimensional nonlinear system describing the non-ideal excitation of a spherical pendulum coupled to a limited-power electric motor. By analyzing the phase trajectories y(t) = (y1, y2, y3, y4, y5), we prove several structural theorems regarding the system's limit sets. First, we show that the bilinear combination y1y5 - y2y4 satisfies a closed linear differential equation, which implies its vanishing on every limit set. This leads to a fundamental algebraic identity that holds for all asymptotic states. Furthermore, we establish proportionality relations between the pairs (y1, y4) and (y2, y5) within these sets. We demonstrate that the dynamics restricted to any limit set reduce from the original five-dimensional space to an explicit three-dimensional subsystem parameterized by a single constant K. Finally, for the dissipative regime characterized by C <= -2, we prove the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point y* = (0, 0, -F/E, 0, 0), showing that y1^2 + y2^2 + y4^2 + y5^2 tends to zero. These results provide a rigorous basis for the structural description of limit sets and simplify the further analysis of deterministic chaos in pendulum-motor models.

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.
