We propose a subgradient algorithm for the computation of contraction metrics for systems with an exponentially stable equilibrium. We show that for sufficiently smooth systems our method is always able to compute a contraction metric on any forward-invariant compact neighbourhood of the equilibrium, which is a subset its basin of attraction.

By introducing an auxiliary degree of freedom we create a dynamical system with improved stability, reducing oscillatory modes and accelerating convergence to minima. The resulting algorithms are simple to implement, and convergence can be shown directly by Lyapunov's second method.Although this framework, which we refer to as friction-adaptive descent (FAD), is fairly general, we focus most of our attention on a specific variant: kinetic energy stabilization (which can be viewed as a zero-temperature Nosé–Hoover scheme with added dissipation in both physical and auxiliary variables), termed KFAD (kinetic FAD). To illustrate the flexibility of the FAD framework we consider several other methods. In certain asymptotic limits, these methods can be viewed as introducing cubic damping in various forms; they can be more efficient than linearly dissipated Hamiltonian dynamics (LDHD).We present details of the numerical methods and show convergence for both the continuous and discretized dynamics in the convex setting by constructing Lyapunov functions. The methods are tested using a toy model (the Rosenbrock function). We also demonstrate the methods for structural optimization for atomic clusters in Lennard–Jones and Morse potentials. The experiments show the relative efficiency and robustness of FAD in comparison to LDHD.","PeriodicalId":37526,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Dynamics","volume":"242 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136257203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that curves of secondary begin{document}$ n $end{document} -homoclinic bifurcations accumulate on a curve of a heteroclinic bifurcation involving infinity. We present an adaptation of the technique known as Lin's method that enables us to compute such connecting orbits to infinity. We first perform a weighted directional compactification of begin{document}$ mathbb{R}^3 $end{document} with a subsequent blow-up of a non-hyperbolic saddle at infinity. We then set up boundary-value problems for two orbit segments from and to a common two-dimensional section: the first is to a finite saddle in the regular coordinates, and the second is from the vicinity of the saddle at infinity in the blown-up chart. The so-called Lin gap along a fixed one-dimensional direction in the section is then brought to zero by continuation. Once a connecting orbit has been found in this way, its locus can be traced out as a curve in a parameter plane.","PeriodicalId":37526,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Dynamics","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87250152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If this distance is contracting, then trajectories have the same long-term behavior. The main advantage of this analysis is that it is independent of the solutions under consideration. Using an appropriate metric, with respect to which the distance is contracting, one can show convergence to a unique equilibrium or, if attraction only occurs in certain directions, to a periodic orbit.Contraction analysis was originally considered for ordinary differential equations, but has been extended to discrete-time systems, control systems, delay equations and many other types of systems. Moreover, similar techniques can be applied for the estimation of the dimension of attractors and for the estimation of different notions of entropy (including topological entropy).This review attempts to link the references in both the mathematical and the engineering literature and, furthermore, point out the recent developments and algorithms in the computation of contraction metrics.","PeriodicalId":37526,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Dynamics","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74668366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
