Basin entropy: a new tool to analyze uncertainty in dynamical systems

A Daza, A Wagemakers, B Georgeot, D Guéry-Odelin… - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
In nonlinear dynamics, basins of attraction link a given set of initial conditions to its
corresponding final states. This notion appears in a broad range of applications where …

An overview of the escape dynamics in the Hénon–Heiles Hamiltonian system

EE Zotos - Meccanica, 2017 - Springer
The aim of this work is to revise but also explore even further the escape dynamics in the
Hénon–Heiles system. In particular, we conduct a thorough and systematic numerical …

Classifying orbits in the classical Hénon–Heiles Hamiltonian system

EE Zotos - Nonlinear Dynamics, 2015 - Springer
The Hénon–Heiles potential is undoubtedly one of the most simple, classical and
characteristic Hamiltonian systems. The aim of this work was to reveal the influence of the …

Ascertaining when a basin is Wada: the merging method

A Daza, A Wagemakers, MAF Sanjuán - Scientific Reports, 2018 - nature.com
Trying to imagine three regions separated by a unique boundary seems a difficult task.
However, this is exactly what happens in many dynamical systems showing Wada basins …

Measuring the transition between nonhyperbolic and hyperbolic regimes in open Hamiltonian systems

AR Nieto, EE Zotos, JM Seoane, MAF Sanjuán - Nonlinear Dynamics, 2020 - Springer
We show that the presence of KAM islands in nonhyperbolic chaotic scattering has deep
implications on the unpredictability of open Hamiltonian systems. When the energy of the …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamical analysis of bounded and unbounded orbits in a generalized Hénon–Heiles system

FL Dubeibe, A Riaño-Doncel, EE Zotos - Physics Letters A, 2018 - Elsevier
The Hénon–Heiles potential was first proposed as a simplified version of the gravitational
potential experimented by a star in the presence of a galactic center. Currently, this system is …

Basin entropy, a measure of final state unpredictability and its application to the chaotic scattering of cold atoms

A Daza, A Wagemakers, B Georgeot… - Chaotic, fractional, and …, 2018 - Springer
Basins of attraction take its name from hydrology, and in dynamical systems they refer to the
set of initial conditions that lead to a particular final state. When different final states are …

Fractal structures in the parameter space of nontwist area-preserving maps

AC Mathias, M Mugnaine, MS Santos, JD Szezech Jr… - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
Fractal structures are very common in the phase space of nonlinear dynamical systems, both
dissipative and conservative, and can be related to the final state uncertainty with respect to …

Distribution of stable islands within chaotic areas in the non-hyperbolic and hyperbolic regimes in the Hénon–Heiles system

R Barrio, D Wilczak - Nonlinear Dynamics, 2020 - Springer
We provide rigorous computer-assisted proofs of the existence of different dynamical
objects, like stable families of periodic orbits, bifurcations and stable invariant tori around …
