On the topological structure of singular attractors of nonlinear systems of differential equations (Q2429696)

The article deals with some attractors of nonlinear dissipative systems of differential equations. As the author writes, he uses ``the notion of a rotor-type singular point of a nonautonomous two-dimensional system of differential equations to obtain a representation of the boundary of the separatrix surface of a singular cycle of an arbitrary autonomous nonlinear dissipative system in the form of a infinitely-sheeted (folded) two-dimensional heteroclinic separatrix manifold spanned by Möbius bands joining various cycles from the Feigenbaum period dubling cascade.'' Moreover, he shows ``how cycles are arranged on that manifold in the subharmonic and homoclinic order in the case of sufficiently strong dissipations, explain[s] such an arrangement, and find[s] out why this order is violated in systems with small dissipation, in systems with high rotation frequency of the trajectory on the original singular cycle, and in conservative and Hamiltonian systems.'' However, the article is written in a strange (non ``mathematical'') manner, it contains no theorems or other exact statements, there is no strict reasoning and no a strict description of systems studied in the article. Really, in this article one can find only some examples of nonlinear systems with complicated behaviour; in particular, the author considers the following systems \[ \begin{cases} \dot u = (2(\mu - b)u + (2bq - \omega/2)v - v^2, \\ \dot v = (2bq + \omega/2)u + (2(\mu - b) - 2bp)v, \\ \dot p = - \nu q, \\ \dot q = \omega p;\end{cases} \] \[ \begin{cases} \dot x = - \omega y - \omega xz/2 - ((\mu - b)x + b)(1 - x^2 - y^2), \\ \dot y = \omega x + 2(b - \omega y/4)z - (\mu - b)y(1 - x^2 - y^2), \\ \dot z = 2(\mu - b - bx)z - (by + \omega/4)(1 - x^2 - y^2);\end{cases} \] \[ \begin{cases} \dot x = y, \\ \dot y = -(\delta + z)x - x^3, \\ \dot z = r, \\ \dot r = -z - x^2/2 - u^2/2, \\ \dot u = v, \\ \dot v = -(\gamma + z)u - u^3.\end{cases} \] References presents 11 items, amongst them 10 are written by the author.
