On non-archimedean dynamical systems

Abstract: A discrete dynamical system is a pair (X, cf;) comprising a non-empty set X and a map cf; : X ---+ X. A study is made of the effect of repeated application of cf; on X, whereby points and subsets of X are classified according to their behaviour under iteration. These subsets include the JULIA and FATOU sets of the map and the sets of periodic and preperiodic points, and many interesting questions arise in the study of their properties. Such questions have been extensively studied in the case of complex dynamics, but much recent work has focussed on non-archimedean dynamical systems, when X is projective space over some field equipped with a non-archimedean metric. This work has uncovered many parallels to complex dynamics alongside more striking differences. In this thesis, various aspects of the theory of non-archimedean dynamics are presented, with particular reference to JULIA and FATOU sets and the relationship between good reduction of a map and the empty JULIA set. We also discuss questions of the finiteness of the sets of periodic points in special contexts. ii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za

New nonlinear mechanisms of midlatitude atmospheric low-frequency variability

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-order model derived from the 2-layer shallow-water equations on a β-plane channel is studied, which is characterised by recurrent non-propagating and temporally persistent flow patterns, with typical spatial and temporal scales of 6000-10,000 km and 10-50 days, respectively.

The dynamics of coherent structures in the wall region of a turbulent boundary layer.

TL;DR: In this article, the wall region of a turbulent boundary layer is modelled by expanding the instantaneous field in so-called empirical eigenfunctions, as permitted by the proper orthogonal decomposition theorem.

Adaptive greedy approximations

TL;DR: A notion of the coherence of a signal with respect to a dictionary is derived from the characterization of the approximation errors of a pursuit from their statistical properties, which can be obtained from the invariant measure of the pursuit.
