    Quasi-periodic attractors, Borel summability and the Bryuno condition for strongly dissipative systems

    Full text link
    We consider a class of ordinary differential equations describing one-dimensional analytic systems with a quasi-periodic forcing term and in the presence of damping. In the limit of large damping, under some generic non-degeneracy condition on the force, there are quasi-periodic solutions which have the same frequency vector as the forcing term. We prove that such solutions are Borel summable at the origin when the frequency vector is either any one-dimensional number or a two-dimensional vector such that the ratio of its components is an irrational number of constant type. In the first case the proof given simplifies that provided in a previous work of ours. We also show that in any dimension dd, for the existence of a quasi-periodic solution with the same frequency vector as the forcing term, the standard Diophantine condition can be weakened into the Bryuno condition. In all cases, under a suitable positivity condition, the quasi-periodic solution is proved to describe a local attractor.Comment: 10 page

    Newton's method and Baker domains

    Full text link
    We show that there exists an entire function f without zeros for which the associated Newton function N(z)=z-f(z)/f'(z) is a transcendental meromorphic functions without Baker domains. We also show that there exists an entire function f with exactly one zero for which the complement of the immediate attracting basin has at least two components and contains no invariant Baker domains of N. The second result answers a question of J. Rueckert and D. Schleicher while the first one gives a partial answer to a question of X. Buff.Comment: 6 page

    Borel summability and Lindstedt series

    Full text link
    Resonant motions of integrable systems subject to perturbations may continue to exist and to cover surfaces with parametric equations admitting a formal power expansion in the strength of the perturbation. Such series may be, sometimes, summed via suitable sum rules defining CC^\infty functions of the perturbation strength: here we find sufficient conditions for the Borel summability of their sums in the case of two-dimensional rotation vectors with Diophantine exponent τ=1\tau=1 (e. g. with ratio of the two independent frequencies equal to the golden mean).Comment: 17 pages, 1 figur

    Y-System and Deformed Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz

    Full text link
    We introduce a new tool, the Deformed TBA (Deformed Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz), to analyze the monodromy problem of the cubic oscillator. The Deformed TBA is a system of five coupled nonlinear integral equations, which in a particular case reduces to the Zamolodchikov TBA equation for the 3-state Potts model. Our method generalizes the Dorey-Tateo analysis of the (monomial) cubic oscillator. We introduce a Y-system corresponding to the Deformed TBA and give it an elegant geometric interpretation.Comment: 12 pages. Minor corrections in Section

    The Schwarzian derivative and the Wiman-Valiron property

    Get PDF
    Consider a transcendental meromorphic function in the plane with finitely many critical values, such that the multiple points have bounded multiplicities and the inverse function has finitely many transcendental singularities. Using the Wiman-Valiron method it is shown that if the Schwarzian derivative is transcendental then the function has infinitely many multiple points, the inverse function does not have a direct transcendental singularity over infinity, and infinity is not a Borel exceptional value. The first of these conclusions was proved by Nevanlinna and Elfving via a fundamentally different method

    On a Watson-like Uniqueness Theorem and Gevrey Expansions

    Get PDF
    We present a maximal class of analytic functions, elements of which are in one-to-one correspondence with their asymptotic expansions. In recent decades it has been realized (B. Malgrange, J. Ecalle, J.-P. Ramis, Y. Sibuya et al.), that the formal power series solutions of a wide range of systems of ordinary (even non-linear) analytic differential equations are in fact the Gevrey expansions for the regular solutions. Watson's uniqueness theorem belongs to the foundations of this new theory. This paper contains a discussion of an extension of Watson's uniqueness theorem for classes of functions which admit a Gevrey expansion in angular regions of the complex plane with opening less than or equal to (\frac \pi k,) where (k) is the order of the Gevrey expansion. We present conditions which ensure uniqueness and which suggest an extension of Watson's representation theorem. These results may be applied for solutions of certain classes of differential equations to obtain the best accuracy estimate for the deviation of a solution from a finite sum of the corresponding Gevrey expansion.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figure

    Meromorphic traveling wave solutions of the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation

    Get PDF
    We look for singlevalued solutions of the squared modulus M of the traveling wave reduction of the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation. Using Clunie's lemma, we first prove that any meromorphic solution M is necessarily elliptic or degenerate elliptic. We then give the two canonical decompositions of the new elliptic solution recently obtained by the subequation method.Comment: 14 pages, no figure, to appear, Acta Applicandae Mathematica

    Polynomial diffeomorphisms of C^2, IV: The measure of maximal entropy and laminar currents

    Full text link
    This paper concerns the dynamics of polynomial automorphisms of C2{\bf C}^2. One can associate to such an automorphism two currents μ±\mu^\pm and the equilibrium measure μ=μ+μ\mu=\mu^+\wedge\mu^-. In this paper we study some geometric and dynamical properties of these objects. First, we characterize μ\mu as the unique measure of maximal entropy. Then we show that the measure μ\mu has a local product structure and that the currents μ±\mu^\pm have a laminar structure. This allows us to deduce information about periodic points and heteroclinic intersections. For example, we prove that the support of μ\mu coincides with the closure of the set of saddle points. The methods used combine the pluripotential theory with the theory of non-uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems

    Multipoint Schur algorithm and orthogonal rational functions: convergence properties, I

    Full text link
    Classical Schur analysis is intimately connected to the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the circle [Simon, 2005]. We investigate here the connection between multipoint Schur analysis and orthogonal rational functions. Specifically, we study the convergence of the Wall rational functions via the development of a rational analogue to the Szeg\H o theory, in the case where the interpolation points may accumulate on the unit circle. This leads us to generalize results from [Khrushchev,2001], [Bultheel et al., 1999], and yields asymptotics of a novel type.Comment: a preliminary version, 39 pages; some changes in the Introduction, Section 5 (Szeg\H o type asymptotics) is extende
