The paper “Relative Lyapunov center bifurcations“, co-authored by Claudia Wulff and Frank Schilder (Danish Technical University) has appeared online in the SIAM Journal of Applied Dynamical Systems. Relative equilibria (REs) and relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems and occur, for example, in celestial mechanics, molecular dynamics, and rigid body motion. REs […]

The paper “The effects of time-dependent dissipation on the basins of attraction for the pendulum with oscillating support“, co-authored by James Wright, Michele Bartuccelli, and Guido Gentile, has been accepted for publication in the journal Nonlinear Dynamics. The paper considers a pendulum with vertically oscillating support and time-dependent damping coefficient which varies until reaching a finite […]
