• #### A characterization of isochronous centres in terms of symmetries ﻿

(2000)
Article
Open Access
We present a description of isochronous centres of planar vector fields $X$ by means of their groups of symmetries. More precisely, given a normalizer $U$ of $X$ (i.e., $[X,U]=\mu X$, where $\mu$ is a scalar function), we ...
• #### A note on the periodic orbits and topological entropy of graph maps ﻿

(2000)
Article
Open Access
This paper deals with the relationship between the periodic orbits of continuous maps on graphs and the topological entropy of the map. We show that the topological entropy of a graph map can be approximated by the entropy ...

• #### A study on the generation of chaos due to the presence of smale horseshoes in dynamical systems with a homoclinic orbit ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07)
Master thesis
Open Access
One of the fundamental problems in dynamical systems is the detection and characterisation of chaotic behaviours. In this work we will focus on chaos induced by what is called the Smale horseshoe. Smale horseshoes frequently ...
• #### An example on Lyapunov stability and linearization ﻿

(2020-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy
The purpose of this paper is to present an example of a (in the Fréchet sense) discrete dynamical system in a infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space for which the origin is an exponentially asymptotically stable ...
• #### An invertible contraction that is not C<sup>1</sup>-linearizable ﻿

(2004)
Article
Open Access
We present an example of a smooth invertible contraction in aninfinite-dimensional Hilbert space that is not locally ${\mathcalC}^{1}$-linearizable near its fixed point.
• #### Analysis of a viscoelastic spring-mass model ﻿

(2003)
Article
Open Access
In this paper we consider a linear wave equation with strong damping and dynamical boundary conditions as an alternative model for the classical spring-mass-damper ODE. Our purpose is to compare analytically these two ...
• #### Analysis of periodic solutions of the system Janus - Epimetheus ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-07)
Bachelor thesis
Open Access
Desenvolupament d'un model 2-dimensional per el sistema coorbital de Janus i Epimetheus al voltant de Saturn, afegint l'aplanament del planeta. Demostracio d'un teorema de simetries sobre les equacions de moviment i analisi ...
• #### Assessment of the depth of anesthesia based on symbolic dynamics of the EEG ﻿

(2010)
Conference lecture
Open Access
Methodologies based on symbolic dynamics have successfully demonstrated to reflect the nonlinear behavior of biological signals. In the present study, symbolic dynamics was applied to the electroencephalogram (EEG) in ...
• #### Astrophysical parameter determination using chaotic orbital regions ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-27)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee:   European Space Research and Technology Centre
The goal of this thesis is to show that chaotic orbits of a dynamical system are advantageous (compared with regularnes) to determine the characteristic parameters of the system, and to give an estimate about the behaviour ...
• #### Asymptotic behaviour of the domain of analyticity of invariant curves of the standard map ﻿

(1999)
Article
Open Access
In this paper we consider the standard map, and we study the invariant curve obtained by analytical continuation, with respect to the perturbative parameter E, of the invariant circle of rotation number the golden mean ...
• #### Axiomatic definition of the topological entropy on the interval ﻿

(2000)
Article
Open Access
Summary. The aim of this paper is to give an axiomatic definition of the topological entropy for continuous interval maps and, in such a way, to shed some more light on the importance of the different properties of the ...
• #### Coarse-grained probabilistic automata mimicking chaotic systems ﻿

(2003-07-24)
Article
Open Access
Discretization of phase space usually nullifies chaos in dynamical systems. We show that if randomness is associated with discretization dynamical chaos may survive and be indistinguishable from that of the original chaotic ...
• #### Communication through coherence in a realistic neuronal model ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07)
Master thesis
Open Access
The Communication Through Coherence (CTC) theory establishes that neural communication is much effective if the underlying oscillatory activity of both populations are phase locked, that is, the input from the emitting ...
• #### Computation of the invariant manifolds of infinity in the restricted circular planar three body problem with the parametrization method ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-05)
Master thesis
Open Access
This work analyses the parabolic stable manifolds of the periodic orbits at infinity for the Restricted Planar Circular Three Body Problem. Using the parametrization method we prove the existence of such manifold and we ...
• #### Computer-Assited Proofs in Dynamics ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-10)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decision
Interval analysis is presented as a solution to obtain rigorous results using computers. We present a methodology of computer-assisted proofs which involves the use of interval computations. In this thesis we introduce the ...
• #### De la mecànica celeste als sistemes dinàmics: un camí d'anar i tornar ﻿

(2006-05-17)
Audiovisual
Open Access
La Mecànica Celeste estudia el moviment dels astres i, en general, tot tema relacionat amb el problema dels N cossos i les seves aplicacions a la ciència espacial. Podem considerar que el seu origen remot és el coneixement ...

(2000)
Article
Open Access
We consider differentiable maps having an invariant torus with normal behavior having a central part. We prove the existence and regularity of pseudostable manifolds and regularity with respect to parameters. Then we ...
