A general mechanism of diffusion in hamiltonian systems: qualitative results
Gidea, Marian; Llave Canosa, Rafael de la; Martínez-Seara Alonso, M. Teresa (2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessWe present a general mechanism to establish the existence of diffusing orbits in a large class of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. Our approach is based on following the “outer dynamics” along homoclinic orbits to a ... -
A general mechanism of instability in Hamiltonian systems: skipping along a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold
Gidea, Marian; Llave Canosa, Rafael de la; Martínez-Seara Alonso, M. Teresa (2020)
Article
Open AccessWe describe a recent method to show instability in Hamiltonian systems. The main hypothesis of the method is that some explicit transversality conditions – which can be verified in concrete systems by finite calculations ... -
A geometric approach to phase response curves and its numerical computation through the parameterization method
Pérez Cervera, Alberto; Martínez-Seara Alonso, M. Teresa; Huguet Casades, Gemma (2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe phase response curve (PRC) is a tool used in neuroscience that measures the phase shift experienced by an oscillator due to a perturbation applied at different phases of the limit cycle. In this paper, we present a new ... -
A geometric approach to the existence of orbits with unbounded energy in generic periodic perturbations by a potential of generic geodesic flows of T<sup>2</sup>

A geometric mechanism for diffusion in Hamiltonian systems overcoming the large gap problem: heuristics and rigorous verification on a model.
Delshams Valdés, Amadeu; Llave Canosa, Rafael de la; Martínez-Seara Alonso, M. Teresa (2003)
Article
Open AccessWe introduce a geometric mechanism for di?usion in a priori unstable nearly integrable dynamical systems. It is based on the observation that resonances, besides destroying the primary KAM tori, create secondary tori and ... -
A geometric mechanism for diffusion in Hamiltonian systems overcoming the large gap problem: Announcement of results
Delshams Valdés, Amadeu; Llave Canosa, Rafael de la; Martínez-Seara Alonso, M. Teresa (2003)
Article
Open AccessWe present a geometric mechanism for diffusion in Hamiltonian systems. We also present tools that allow to verify it in a concrete model. In particular, we verify it in a system which presents the large gap problem. -
A unified approach to explain contrary effects of hysteresis and smoothing in nonsmooth systems
Bonet Revés, Carles; Martínez-Seara Alonso, M. Teresa; Fossas Colet, Enric; Jeffrey, Mike R. (2017-09-01)
Article
Open AccessPiecewise smooth dynamical systems make use of discontinuities to model switching between regions of smooth evolution. This introduces an ambiguity in prescribing dynamics at the discontinuity: should the dynamics be given ... -
Adiabatic invariant of the harmonic oscillator, complex matching and resurgence
Bonet Revés, Carles; Sauzin, D.; Martínez-Seara Alonso, M. Teresa; València Guitart, Marta (1997)
Article
Open AccessThe linear oscillator equation with a frequency depending slowly on time is used to test a method to compute exponentially small quantities. This work present the matching method in the complex plane as a tool to obtain ... -

Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper, we analytically consider sliding bifurcations of periodic orbits in the dry-friction oscillator. The system depends on two parameters: F, which corresponds to the intensity of the friction, and ω, the ... -
