Averaging method for systems with separatrix crossing
The averaging method provides a powerful tool for studying evolution in
near-integrable systems. Existence of separatrices in the phase space of the
underlying integrable system is an obstacle for application of standard results
that justify using of averaging. We establish estimates that allow to use
averaging method when the underlying integrable system is a system with one
rotating phase, and the evolution leads to separatrix crossings.Comment: This is an author-created, un-copyedited version of the article

Bifurcations of phase portraits of pendulum with vibrating suspension point
We consider a simple pendulum whose suspension point undergoes fast
vibrations in the plane of motion of the pendulum. The averaged over the fast
vibrations system is a Hamiltonian system with one degree of freedom depending
on two parameters. We give complete description of bifurcations of phase
portraits of this averaged system
Separatrix crossing in rotation of a body with changing geometry of masses
We consider free rotation of a body whose parts move slowly with respect to
each other under the action of internal forces. This problem can be considered
as a perturbation of the Euler-Poinsot problem. The dynamics has an approximate
conservation law - an adiabatic invariant. This allows to describe the
evolution of rotation in the adiabatic approximation. The evolution leads to an
overturn in the rotation of the body: the vector of angular velocity crosses
the separatrix of the Euler-Poinsot problem. This crossing leads to a
quasi-random scattering in body's dynamics. We obtain formulas for
probabilities of capture into different domains in the phase space at
separatrix crossings.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figure
On passage through resonances in volume-preserving systems
Resonance processes are common phenomena in multiscale (slow-fast) systems.
In the present paper we consider capture into resonance and scattering on
resonance in 3-D volume-preserving slow-fast systems. We propose a general
theory of those processes and apply it to a class of viscous Taylor-Couette
flows between two counter-rotating cylinders. We describe the phenomena during
a single passage through resonance and show that multiple passages lead to the
chaotic advection and mixing. We calculate the width of the mixing domain and
estimate a characteristic time of mixing. We show that the resulting mixing can
be described using a diffusion equation with a diffusion coefficient depending
on the averaged effect of the passages through resonances.Comment: 23 pages and 9 Figure
