Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description The following results have been published so far.
1. We have shown that the violation of ergodicity in the fast dynamics of a slow-fast Hamiltonian system can drive the whole system to equilibrium. This provides a completely new view on the classical ergodicity problem.
2.New type of Feynman-like formulas for solutions of Schroedinger equation has been proposed.
3. The existence of Lorenz attractor has been rigorously established for the Shimizu-Morioka model that serves as a normal form for a large set of bifurcations of codimension 3. The result implies the proof of the existence of persistently chaotic behaviour (with no stability zones) for a a wide spectrum of models from various applications.
4. A new theoretical framework for explaining the numerically discovered phenomenon of the attractor-repeller merger is proposed and the universality of the corresponding "mixed dynamics" phenomenon has been proven. The result constitutes a discovery of a new type of chaotic behaviour typical for non-conservative time-reversible systems and, in general, systems with dissipation and external forcing.
Exploitation Route The results provide novel theoretical framework for the analysis of dynamics for large classes of systems. They were reported at a series of conferences and are published in leading journals in the field. The results can be used both for the theoretical study of dynamical systems and can be directly used in applied problems.
