Chaos in the BMN matrix model
We study classical chaotic motions in the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN)
matrix model. For this purpose, it is convenient to focus upon a reduced system
composed of two-coupled anharmonic oscillators by supposing an ansatz. We
examine three ans\"atze: 1) two pulsating fuzzy spheres, 2) a single
Coulomb-type potential, and 3) integrable fuzzy spheres. For the first two
cases, we show the existence of chaos by computing Poincar\'e sections and a
Lyapunov spectrum. The third case leads to an integrable system. As a result,
the BMN matrix model is not integrable in the sense of Liouville, though there
may be some integrable subsectors.Comment: 23 pages, 15 figures, v2: further clarifications and references adde

Symmetry in Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems
Real-world systems exhibit complex behavior, therefore novel mathematical approaches or modifications of classical ones have to be employed to precisely predict, monitor, and control complicated chaotic and stochastic processes. One of the most basic concepts that has to be taken into account while conducting research in all natural sciences is symmetry, and it is usually used to refer to an object that is invariant under some transformations including translation, reflection, rotation or scaling.The following Special Issue is dedicated to investigations of the concept of dynamical symmetry in the modelling and analysis of dynamic features occurring in various branches of science like physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, with special emphasis on research based on the mathematical models of nonlinear partial and ordinary differential equations. Addressed topics cover theories developed and employed under the concept of invariance of the global/local behavior of the points of spacetime, including temporal/spatiotemporal symmetries
