Bifurcation at nonsemisimple 1: - 1 resonance

In this paper a description is given of the bifurcation of periodic solutions occurring when a Hamiltonian system of two degrees of freedom passes through nonsemisimple 1–1 resonance at an equilibrium. A bifurcation like this is found in the planar circular restricted problem of three bodies at the Lagrange equilibriumL 4 when the mass parameter passes through the critical value of Routh. Gegenstand dieses Artikels ist die Verzweigung periodischer Lösungen in Hamilton''schen Systemen mit zwei Freiheitsgraden beim Durchgang durch eine nicht-einfache 1–1-Resonanz an einem Gleichgewicht. Ein Beispiel ist das ebene restringierte Dreikörperproblem am Lagrange-PunktL 4, wenn die Masse durch den kritischen Wert von Routh hindurchgeht

Spontaneous Ratchet Effect in a Granular Gas

The spontaneous clustering of a vibrofluidized granular gas is employed to generate directed transport in two different compartmentalized systems: a "granular fountain" in which the transport takes the form of convection rolls, and a "granular ratchet" with a spontaneous particle current perpendicular to the direction of energy input. In both instances, transport is not due to any system-intrinsic anisotropy, but arises as a spontaneous collective symmetry breaking effect of many interacting granular particles. The experimental and numerical results are quantitatively accounted for within a flux model.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; Fig. 4 has been reduced in size and qualit

Poincar\'{e} cycle of a multibox Ehrenfest urn model with directed transport

We propose a generalized Ehrenfest urn model of many urns arranged periodically along a circle. The evolution of the urn model system is governed by a directed stochastic operation. Method for solving an $N$-ball, $M$-urn problem of this model is presented. The evolution of the system is studied in detail. We find that the average number of balls in a certain urn oscillates several times before it reaches a stationary value. This behavior seems to be a peculiar feature of this directed urn model. We also calculate the Poincar\'{e} cycle, i.e., the average time interval required for the system to return to its initial configuration. The result can be easily understood by counting the total number of all possible microstates of the system.Comment: 10 pages revtex file with 7 eps figure
