We study the dynamics of a single polymer subject to thermal fluctuations in a linear shear flow. The polymer is modeled as a finitely extendable nonlinear elastic FENE dumbbell. Both orientation and elongation dynamics are investigated numerically as a function of the shear strength, by means of a …
Random contractions (sub-unitary random matrices) appear naturally when considering quantized chaotic maps within a general theory of open linear stationary systems with discrete time. We analyze statistical properties of complex eigenvalues of generic $N\times N$ random matrices $\hat{A}$ of such a…
Using periodic-orbit theory beyond the diagonal approximation we investigate the form factor, $K(τ)$, of a generic quantum graph with mixing classical dynamics and time-reversal symmetry. We calculate the contribution from pairs of self-intersecting orbits that differ from each other only in the or…
The presence of saddle-node bifurcation cascade in the logistic equation is associated with an intermittency cascade; in a similar way as a saddle-node bifurcation is associated with an intermittency. We merge the concepts of bifurcation cascade and intermittency. The mathematical tools necessary fo…
Using standard definitions of chaos (as positive Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy) and diffusion (that multiple time distribution functions are Gaussian), we show numerically that both chaotic and nonchaotic systems exhibit diffusion, and hence that there is no direct logical connection between the two prop…
Difference control schemes for controlling unstable fixed points become important if the exact position of the fixed point is unavailable or moving due to drifting parameters. We propose a memory difference control method for stabilization of a priori unknown unstable fixed points by introducing a m…
