Billiard-like systems

with  V. Gelfreich, A. Rapoport, K. Shah and   D. Turaev

 

Main motivation and results:    One of the underlying assumptions of statistical mechanics is the Boltzmann ergodic hypothesis which roughly states that the dynamics of a sufficiently large number of small molecules in a box is ergodic. The mathematical investigation of this hypothesis had focused mainly on studying the dynamics of hard spheres, and lead to fundamental developments in the theory of dynamical systems. Studying the motion of n "real" particles, having smooth steep repelling potentials, is a mathematical challenge with important implications to Physics. These are the billiard-like systems.

 

    To this aim we develop methodologies for analyzing Hamiltonian systems with steep repelling potentials by using the singular billiard limit. Mathematically - they allow to study far from integrable systems in arbitrary dimension. Physically - they allow to study when the widely used idealized billiard model works, and, more surprisingly, when it fails. These methodologies are being extended to steep impact systems - here, in the singular limit, particles move under non-trivial potential in the domain interior and reflect from the domain boundary as in the billiards.

 

    In [R15,R17,R21] we establish that in the two dimensional case the smooth steep potentials can indeed ruin ergodicity. These findings lead to an experimental realization of this phenomenon in an atom-optic system (Kaplan et al, PRL, 2001). A similar approach may be utilized to predict and control the form of the chaotic scattering function of various scattering-by-steep-potentials problems [R29].

 

    In [R28], the multi-dimensional analog is analyzed: we proved that elliptic orbits appear in systems with steep smooth potentials that limit to Sinai billiards for arbitrarily large dimension (see figure for effective stability islands in a 20-dimensional phase space). Admittedly, the considered special example cannot be directly linked to the smooth many particles case. Nonetheless, this construction, of stabilizing mechanism in multi-dimensional highly unstable systems, suggests that analogous stabilizing mechanisms may exist in the smooth Boltzmann problem. 


More recently [R34,R38, R44], we study classical particles accelerators: billiards with oscillating boundaries. While it has been already established that 2D accelerators can lead to unbounded growth of the averaged energy of ensembles of particles (i.e. to heating), we are the first to construct accelerators in which this growth is exponential in time. 

 

We have demonstrated that the exponential in time energy growth mechanism may be induced by a billiard with mixed phase space (the Oscillating Mushroom). Moreover, we  derived adiabatic theory for non-ergodic systems from which the exponential growth rate is predicted and is then corroborated numerically [R46].

 

In [R59] we proved that the N repelling particle system in d>1 dimensions is not ergodic even in the high energy limit: we proved that choreographic KAM stable motion exists whenever the billiard table has a non-degenerate elliptic periodic orbit and also that for N particles in a d-dimensional box the motion of particles moving in parallel lines without colliding is KAM stable for some sets of distances between the particles.

Impact-like systems

with M. Kloc, L. Lerman, M. Pnueli, L. Becker, S. Elliott, B. Firester, S. Gonen Cohen, K. Fraczek, M. Pnueli, O. Yaniv

 

Main motivation and results:   By impact like systems (sometimes called generalized billiards) we mean mechanical Hamiltonian systems which have smooth dynamics inside a domain D whereas near the boundary there is a steep, billiard like potential, so that when the steepness paramter goes to zero the system approaches  elastic reflections from the domain boundary.
In [R40] we proposed that such systems provide good models to chemical reactions: the steep potentials appear from the atomic repulsion forces whereas the smooth potential models the attraction forces between the atoms. In particular, we showed that the saddle in the corner system provides insights regarding the validity of transition state theore for co-linear reactions. In [R45] we developed the framework for analyzing general systems of the impact-like type and explained the significance of the Hill's region in their analysis. In [R50,R52,R54] we introduced the Near Integrable Hamiltonian impact-like systems and analyzed their behavior near regular and near tangent tori. In [R57] (submitted in 2020, published in 2024) we introduced the class of pseudointegrable Hamiltonian impact system. In [R53] we analyzed the ergodic properties of a class PIHIS and in [R56] we studied the quantization of such systems.

Multi-dimensional systems, forced NLS and Parabolic Resonances

with N. Paldor, Y. Dvorkin, A. Litvak Hinenzon and E. Shlizerman.

 

Main motivation and results: Near-integrable systems had been extensively studied since the days of Poincaré, yet, the structure of their chaotic solutions is still mostly unknown. A decade ago we discovered a new kind of instability in such systems, the parabolic resonance instability. It was discovered while studying a geophysical application [R9,R11,R12], and then we studied it in the multi-dimensional setting [R19,R20,R22]. More recently, we proposed that the hierarchy of bifurcation framework [RP11,R23] is convenient for identifying the dominant instability mechanisms that appear in specific multi-dimensional models.

 

    Notably, applying this framework to the conservatively forced Non-Linear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, conditions under which a truncated form of this equation has a parabolic resonance instability were derived [R23]. It was then demonstrated that such instabilities do appear in the original PDE model - the forced NLS - and correspond to a new type of solutions of this extensively studied equation [R24]. As a blind search for such solutions is a formidable numerical task, our analysis is pivotal for identifying what are the interesting parameter values and initial conditions for which new types of solutions - like the parabolic resonant ones - appear.

NEWS:


1. In [R32], we showed that the parabolic resonance mechanism can even cause spatial decoherence of small amplitude nearly flat initial data.

2. We have classified the structure of the unpertubed energy surfaces of a "generic" class of near-integrable two-degrees of freedom systems [R31] . This classification shows that there are some mechanisms of instability in two-d.o.f. systems that have not been studied yet!

3. In [R36] we developed a framework to study the near integrable PDE structure. This paper  was selected to be in the Nonlinearity Highly downloaded Collection for 2010. 

4. In [R35] we provide a framework for studyng analytically the parabolic resonance instability by using the adiabatic chaos framework. Most importantly, we show that the volume of the chaotic zone depends on the perturbation parameter as a power law, thus it is numerically observable.

Modeling and Medicine: models of the hematopoesis system:

 

with R. Malka, E. Shochat MD/PhD, and Prof. L. Segel (deceased, 2005).

 

 Main motivation and results: Why do G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor) injections help some neutropenic patients (patients with very low counts of this kind of white blood cells) and not others?

 

    In [R27] we employ dynamical systems approach to develop a simple model (not Hamiltonian) that is adequate for describing the natural dynamics of the neutrophils and the G-CSF levels in the blood on a time scale of several days. In [R30] we use a variant of this model to study the response of patients that received chemotherapy and thus became neutropenic to various protocols of G-CSF support.

 

More precisely, in [R30] we built axiomatically a mathematical model that describes the neutrophils’ dynamics. We showed that patients fall into three groups according to their blood counts, and that these groups respond differently to the growth factor therapy. The first group responds well. The current treatment is ineffective for the second group, but our results imply that a change in the administration protocol may help. In the third group, treatment with growth factors alone is insufficient at any dose, and the patients need an alternative therapy. These conclusions stem directly from the mathematical model, which makes it possible to predict outcomes and improve treatment. While the immune system is exceedingly complex, the model is simple, and that’s precisely its strength. We are proposing to test these recommendations in clinical trials. If these succeed, treatment efficiency would increase, and perhaps some lives could be saved.

Chaotic fluid mixing :

with R. Aharon, D. F. Carlson, E. Fredj, H. Gildor, R. Mundel

         A. Poje, A. Leonard and S. Wiggins.

 

Main motivation and results: The field of chaotic advection is concerned with the study of mixing of passive scalars in fluids with specified velocity fields that are time-dependent yet non-turbulent. Since the important paper by Aref in 1984, it attracts a growing community of researchers coming from diverse areas of science and engineering and involves both practical problems and beautiful mathematical questions.

 

    In my Ph.D. studies we considered time periodic planar flows (the OVP model) and introduced several dynamical systems concepts and tools to this field; We identified the unstable manifold and KAM tori as the observed objects in flow visualizations and as controllers of transport, discovered lobe dynamics, and established the direct relation between lobe dynamics and fluid transport [R3,RP1]. These ideas influence theoretical and experimental studies of fluid mixing problems arising in geophysical applications, traditional lab scale experiments and microfluidics (e.g. these findings became the main topic of S. Wiggins popular book "Chaotic Transport in Dynamical systems").

 

    In [R16] we proved that for a large class of two-dimensional time-periodic fluid flows some mixing characteristics have a universal dependence on the flow frequency even in the non-perturbative regime. These results were realized experimentally (see e.g. Horner et al. JFM 02).  In [R36] we show that upper bounds on eddy diffusivity may be found by combining LCS computations from RF data and airial photos of separating lines.

  

      In [41] we show that minute 3d convection can untangle the chaotic tangles of the surface mixing.

      In [47] we show that extreme values of observables provide simple, intuitive,
and computationally cheap diagnostics for fluid mixing; Moreover, they also enable a significant data reduction, since it is possible to extract from their cumulative distribution functions much of the relevant information regarding the existence, location, size and motion of the coherent structures.

Transport theory of periodically forced systems :

with A. Litvak Hinenzon and G.M. Zaslavsky

 

 Main motivation and results: The transport theory of periodically forced Hamiltonian systems is concerned with characterizing the motion of ensembles of initial conditions from one region in phase space to another.

 

    In [R2] we observed that the geometry of the unstable and stable manifolds determines exactly all the transport rates between certain phase space regions for a general class of forced planar flows. This discovery of the popular lobe dynamics lead to a burst of theoretical and even some experimental studies in diverse fields of Physics ([R2] was generalized to various settings and was followed by numerous publications on its role in fluid mixing, chemical reactions, optics, astrophysics, ship stability, electroconvection etc.). In subsequent works I developed perturbational methods for calculating topological characteristics of these manifolds' complex geometry (called homoclinic tangles). These studies lead to analytical estimates of the transport rates for non-trivial time scales, to a lower bound on the topological entropy of homoclinic tangles in open flows [R1,R7,R8], to analytical methods for detecting multi-pulse solutions [R8] and to insights regarding the structure of strange attractors in slightly dissipative system [R10].
