Monotone Recurrence Relations, Their Birkhoff Orbits and Topological Entropy.

TLDR
In this paper, a generalization of the class of monotone twistmaps to maps of S sub 1 x R sub n is proposed, and the existence of Birkhoff orbits is studied, and a criterion for positive topological entropy is given.
Abstract
: A generalization of the class of monotone twistmaps to maps of S sub 1 x R sub n is proposed. The existence of Birkhoff orbits is studied, and a criterion for positive topological entropy is given. These results are then specialized to the case of monotone twist maps. Finally it is shown that there is a large class of symplectic maps to which the foregoing discussion applies. Keywords: Dynamical systems; Theorems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce reversible dynamical systems, which generalise classical mechanical systems possessing time-reversal symmetry and are found in ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and diffeomorphisms (mappings) modelling many physical problems.

A numerically accessible criterion for the breakdown of quasi-periodic solutions and its rigorous justification

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerically efficient criterion for the analysis of analyticity breakdown of quasi-periodic solutions in symplectic maps and 1D statistical mechanics models is proposed, based on the blowup of Sobolev norms of the hull functions.

Some remarks on Birkhoff and Mather twist map theorems

TL;DR: A recent result of J. Mather [1] about the existence of quasi-periodic orbits for twist maps is derived from an appropriately modified version of G. D. Birkhoff's classical theorem concerning periodic orbits as mentioned in this paper.

The periodic orbits of an area preserving twist map

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the oscillation properties of periodic orbits of an area-preserving twist map, inspired by the similarity between the gradient flow of the associated action-function, and a scalar parabolic PDE in one space dimension.
