Flow Curvature Method

 

In the framework of Differential Geometry the trajectory curve, integral of any n-dimensional dynamical system may be considered as curve in Euclidean n-space having local metrics properties of curvatures.

 

The Flow Curvature Method is based on the idea that if it is generally impossible to have a closed form of trajectory curve it still possible to analytically compute its curvatures since it only involves its time derivatives.

 

The location of the points where the curvature of the trajectory curve vanishes defines a manifold called: flow curvature manifold.

 

 

In Differential Geometry Applied to Dynamical Systems (World Scientific Series on Nonlinear Science, series A) it has been stated that, since such manifold is defined starting from the time derivatives of the velocity vector field and so, contains information about the dynamics of the system, its only knowledge enables to find again the main features of the dynamical system studied. These features may be considered as the foundations of Dynamical Systems Theory. There are four of them: invariant sets, local bifurcations, slow-fast dynamical systems and integrability.

of any n-dimensional dynamical systems may be directly deduced from the flow curvature manifold.

 

Since all the main features of Dynamical Systems Theory may be found again according to the Flow Curvature Method, i.e., starting from the flow curvature manifold both Dynamical Systems Theory and Flow Curvature Method are consistent and so Flow Curvature Method represents an alternative geometric approach for the study of dynamical systems which may be applied to autonomous as well as non-autonomous n-dimensional dynamical systems.

 

Slow Manifold Gallery

 

This gallery proposes slow manifolds of singularly or non-singularly perturbed dynamical systems of dimension 3, 4, 5, 6… and non-autonomous dynamical systems as well as Mathematica Files which have enabled to plot them.

 

 

Dynamical Systems & Differential Geometry

 

In Differential Geometry and Mechanics Applications to Chaotic Dynamical Systems, it had been established that the flow curvature manifold directly provided the slow manifold analytical equation of slow-fast autonomous dynamical systems of dimension two and three, singularly perturbed such as those of Van der Pol and Chua but also non-singularly perturbed such as that of Lorenz.

 

In Slow Invariant Manifolds as Curvature of the Flow of Dynamical Systems, the approach established in Differential Geometry and Mechanics Applications to Chaotic Dynamical Systems, has been generalized to n-dimensional dynamical systems. It has been demonstrated that the curvature of the flow, i.e., the curvature of the trajectory curves directly provides the slow manifold analytical equation of n-dimensional slow-fast autonomous dynamical systems. Thus, the flow curvature method has enabled to obtain slow manifolds of many models singularly perturbed or not of dimension 4, 5 & 6… Moreover, the flow curvature manifold invariance has been demonstrated while using the concept of invariant manifolds introduced by G. Darboux in 1878.

 

 

Population Dynamics & Modelling

 

In Chaos in a three dimensional Volterra-Gause model of predator-prey type, a new model of predator-prey type elaborated from the seminal works of Vito Volterra* and Giorgii F. Gause has lead to chaotic attractor in the shape of a snail (chaotic snail shell).

 

Complex Dynamical Systems

 

In Slow Manifold of a Neuronal Bursting Model, application of the flow curvature method has directly provided the slow manifold analytical equation of a Neuronal Bursting Model (NBM).

 

In Invariant Manifolds of Complex Systems, local invariance of the flow curvature manifold analytical equation has been established in the case of complex systems. Moreover, it has been demonstrated, under certain assumptions, that such manifold is a local first integral.
