Prevalence of Delay Embeddings with a Fixed Observation Function

Raymundo Navarrete, Divakar Viswanath

Let , , be a dynamical system with being a diffeomorphism. Although the state vector is often unobservable, the dynamics can b…

Delay Embedding of Periodic Orbits Using a Fixed Observation Function

Raymundo Navarrete, Divakar Viswanath

Delay coordinates are a widely used technique to pass from observations of a dynamical system to a representation of the dynamical system as an embedding in Euclidean space. Curren…

Prediction of Dynamical time Series Using Kernel Based Regression and Smooth Splines

Raymundo Navarrete, Divakar Viswanath

Prediction of dynamical time series with additive noise using support vector machines or kernel based regression has been proved to be consistent for certain classes of discrete dy…

Error Analysis of Finite Differences and the Mapping Parameter in Spectral Differentiation

Divakar Viswanath

The Chebyshev points are commonly used for spectral differentiation in non-periodic domains. The rounding error in the Chebyshev approximation to the -the derivative increases a…

Intermittency at Fine Scales and Complex Singularities of Turbulent Couette Flow

Andre Souza, Divakar Viswanath

Fine scales of turbulent velocity fields, beyond the inertial range and well into the dissipative range, are highly intermittent. It has been hypothesized that complex plane singul…

Complex Singularities and the Lorenz Attractor

Divakar Viswanath, Sonmez Sahutoglu

The Lorenz attractor is one of the best known examples of applied mathematics. However, much of what is known about it is a result of numerical calculations and not of mathematical…

Exact and Asymptotic Conditions on Traveling Wave Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations

Y. Charles Li, Divakar Viswanath

We derive necessary conditions that traveling wave solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations must satisfy in the pipe, Couette, and channel flow geometries. Some conditions are exac…

Heteroclinic connections in plane Couette flow

Jonathan Halcrow, John F. Gibson, Predrag Cvitanović +1

Plane Couette flow transitions to turbulence for Re~325 even though the laminar solution with a linear profile is linearly stable for all Re (Reynolds number). One starting point f…
