Lyapunov exponents for PDEs

I am aware of a few "applied" papers where this is done: http://pre.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v75/i4/e045203 http://pre.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v85/i4/e046201

Making a system of second-order ODEs chaotic

You can get chaos with a cubic term for $x_1$. In applied dyanmical systems, there has been considerable interest in last decade to study systems of the following form: $\ddot{x_1}=-ax_1^3+\epsilon(x_ …

examples of surface diffeomorphism that exhibit heteroclinic bifurcation?

It cannot happen in a continuous time 2D system, simply due to uniqueness of ODE property. At least (2+1)-D is needed, i.e. this phenomenon can be seen in 2D maps derived from taking time-T sections o …

Knots and Dynamics. Recent breakthroughs?

IF you are willing to extend into "braid theory and dynamics", there is quite a bit of activity in the field of "topological fluid mechanics" in last decade. Some of this work is directed at determi …

Applications of discrete-time dynamics

Many systems are best probed stroboscopically. For e.g. in the design of space mission trajectories, it is customary to use the restricted-three body problem as the model for dynamics of the spacecraf …

Proving period doubling bifurcation

It would be quite hard to give a purely analytical proof for continuous systems, since period doubling analysis (which is typically via Lyapunov-Schmidt bifurcation theory) will need to be carried on …

Restricted Three-Body Problem

The problem of 'optimal path' for going to moon has been studied under the topic of "Circular Restricted three-body problem" and "Planar circular three-body problem (PCR3BP)". Poincare' made major con …

Boundary flux maximizing drift (velocity) vector fields for 2D heat equation

Looking for literature / known results on the following class of problems: Consider the domain bounded, open $\Omega\in \mathbb R^2$ with smooth boundary, divergence free drift $u=u(x,t)$, scalar fie …

Steepest descent/gradient descent as dynamical system

This topic has long history. Here are some references: Bloch, Anthony M. "Steepest descent, linear programming and Hamiltonian flows." Contemp. Math. AMS 114 (1990): 77-88. Brockett, Roger W. Dynami …

Measuring how suboptimal control is

Model predictive control (MPC, aka receding horizon control) is one type of sub-optimal control method that is extremely well studied and popular. The "sub-optimality" of this type of control methods …

Good books on Geometric Theory of Dynamical Systems

I guess "Geometrical Methods in the Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations" by Arnold should be in the list too, although it doesn't satisfy the "purely" topological criteria.

Reference request: Invariant sets of dynamical systems

I am assuming you are interested in multidimensional case $x\in\mathbb R^n$. Let $\Omega$ be the set whose invariance you are interested in estabilishing. There are two types of problems here: A). …
