The approach taken in the elastic shape analysis framework is to define such a metric by starting with a reparametrization-invariant Riemannian metric on the space of parametrized shapes and inducing a metric on the quotient by the group of diffeomorphisms. This quotient metric is computed, in practice, by finding a registration of two shapes over the diffeomorphism group. For spaces of Euclidean curves, the initial Riemannian metric is frequently chosen from a two-parameter family of Sobolev metrics, called elastic metrics. Elastic metrics are especially convenient because, for several parameter choices, they are known to be locally isometric to Riemannian metrics for which one is able to solve the geodesic boundary problem explicitly—well-known examples of these local isometries include the complex square root transform of Younes, Michor, Mumford and Shah and square root velocity (SRV) transform of Srivastava, Klassen, Joshi and Jermyn. In this paper, we show that the SRV transform extends to elastic metrics for all choices of parameters, for curves in any dimension, thereby fully generalizing the work of many authors over the past two decades. We give a unified treatment of the elastic metrics: we extend results of Trouvé and Younes, Bruveris as well as Lahiri, Robinson and Klassen on the existence of solutions to the registration problem, we develop algorithms for computing distances and geodesics, and we apply these algorithms to metric learning problems, where we learn optimal elastic metric parameters for statistical shape analysis tasks.\u0000</p>","PeriodicalId":50111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonlinear Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140806816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find a plethora of strong symmetry breaking rhythms, in which the two oscillators exhibit qualitatively different oscillations, and their amplitudes differ by as much as an order of magnitude. Analysis of the folded singularities in the coupled system shows that a key folded node, located off the symmetry axis, is the primary mechanism responsible for the strong symmetry breaking. Passage through the neighborhood of this folded node can result in splitting between the amplitudes of the oscillators, in which one is constrained to remain of small amplitude, while the other makes a large-amplitude oscillation or a mixed-mode oscillation. The analysis also reveals an organizing center in parameter space, where the system undergoes an asymmetric canard explosion, in which one oscillator exhibits a sequence of limit cycle canards, over an interval of parameter values centered at the explosion point, while the other oscillator executes small amplitude oscillations. Other folded singularities can also impact properties of the strong symmetry breaking rhythms. We contrast these strong symmetry breaking rhythms with asymmetric rhythms that are close to symmetric states, such as in-phase or anti-phase oscillations. In addition to the symmetry breaking rhythms, we also find an explosion of anti-phase limit cycle canards, which mediates the transition from small-amplitude, anti-phase oscillations to large-amplitude, anti-phase oscillations.</p>","PeriodicalId":50111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonlinear Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140576021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, focusing on the homoclinic connection present in our PWL-ML, we study the slow passage through this connection when augmenting the original system with a slow dynamics for one of the parameters, thereby establishing a simplified framework for this slow-passage phenomenon. Our results show that our model exhibits equivalent behaviours to its smooth counterpart. In particular, we identify canard solutions that are part of spike-adding transitions.

Our analysis of localized patterns for this two-component reaction–diffusion (RD) model is based, not on the usual limit of a large chemotactic drift coefficient, but instead on the singular limit of an asymptotically small diffusivity <span>(d_2=epsilon ^2ll 1)</span> of the chemoattractant concentration field. In the limit <span>(d_2ll 1)</span>, steady-state and quasi-equilibrium 1D multi-spike patterns are constructed asymptotically. To determine the linear stability of steady-state <i>N</i>-spike patterns, we analyze the spectral properties associated with both the “large” <span>({{mathcal {O}}}(1))</span> and the “small” <i>o</i>(1) eigenvalues associated with the linearization of the Keller–Segel model. By analyzing a nonlocal eigenvalue problem characterizing the large eigenvalues, it is shown that <i>N</i>-spike equilibria can be destabilized by a zero-eigenvalue crossing leading to a competition instability if the cellular diffusion rate <span>(d_1)</span> exceeds a threshold, or from a Hopf bifurcation if a relaxation time constant <span>(tau )</span> is too large.

The risk of extinction in these populations is often influenced by environmental stochasticity, which has a significant impact on birth and mortality rates. In this study, we propose a tri-trophic food chain model that incorporates random disturbances in the environment, represented by a chemostat, which is an ideal mathematical model for simulating diverse ecosystems. In the absence of noise, the model exhibits two types of bistability, indicating that the stochastic system has two distinct paths to extinction: from a stationary state or from an oscillatory state. For each type, we determine the tipping value of environmental stochasticity that leads to the extinction of top predators by constructing confidence regions for the corresponding coexisting attractor. Furthermore, we observe a high skewness and heavy-tailed distribution of extinction times for intermediate and high levels of environmental stochasticity, consistent with empirical data. To analyze extinction times, we employ the Lévy distribution, a statistical model that describes power-law tail distributions. Our findings demonstrate that, for a fixed dilution rate, increasing environmental stochasticity reduces the average extinction time, thereby accelerating species extinction. Additionally, for a certain level of stochasticity, the average extinction time decreases with the magnitude of the dilution rate due to the heavy-tailed nature of the extinction time distribution.</p>","PeriodicalId":50111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonlinear Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140575945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
