2 Do or do not, there is no try, Yoda Operating system: GNU/Linux (I don t care about other OS, do you?). Programming language: C. Graphic library: Mizar Giorgilli (1979), fair enough! I will give you the code as is (GPLv3)... enjoy! REMARK: you are supposed to code! Be a man, write your own programs!, Carles Simó. A mathematical formula should never be owned by anybody! Mathematics belong to God., D.E. Knuth. Poincaré section 2

3 Yes, you need to code! Keep in mind: Real Programmers aren t afraid to use GOTOs. Real Programmers don t need comments the code is obvious. Real Programmers don t comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand. The computers in the Space Shuttle were programmed by Real Programmers. No Real Programmer works 9 to 5. (Unless it s the ones at night.)

5 1.1 The rediscovery of chaos: Contopoulos (1960), Hénon and Heiles (1964) H(q,p) = ω 0 2 (p2 0 +q2 0 )+ ω 1 2 (p2 1 +q2 1 )+q2 0 q q3 1. Equations of motion q = H p, ṗ = H q. Problem: study the dynamics of the system. Tool: numerical integrations and Poincaré sections. The idea is to transform the continuous flow induced of an autonomous differential equation in R n into a map Π : Σ Σ, with Σ R n a (n 1)-dimensional surface. Poincaré section 5

6 1.1.1 How to compute the Poincaré section H(q,p) = ω 0 2 (p2 0 +q2 0 )+ ω 1 2 (p2 1 +q2 1 )+q2 0 q q3 1, ω 0,ω 1 > 0. We need a surface transversal to the flow (q 0 = 0). Fix the initial energy E 0 and a point (q 1,p 1 ), and compute p 1 > 0 such that (0,q 1,p 0,p 1 ) Σ. The Poincaré section is the intersection of the orbit with the transversal surface. If E 0 satisfies the Poincaré section is bounded in the region { } ω E 0 E c, E c 3 = min ω2 0ω 1 8, ω3 1 6 ω 1 2 (p2 1 +q 2 1) 1 3 q3 1 E 0., We need an accurate numerical integrator. Random numbers should not be generated with a method chosen at random., D.E. Knuth. (it applies also to integration schemes...) Poincaré section 6

7 1.1.2 Runge-Kutta vs. Leap-Frog (order 2) Runge-Kutta (RK2): ẋ = f(x), dx n+ 1 2 = τ 2 f(x n), x n+1 = x n +τf(x n +dx n+ 1 2 ). Leapfrog (LF2): ẍ = f(x), x n+1 = x n +τẋ n+ 1 2, ẋ n+ 3 2 = ẋ n τf(x n+1). Question: How to choose the good one? Answer: The Hamiltonian flow is symplectic, the leapfrog is symplectic... wanna bet? An algorithm must be seen to be believed., D.E. Knuth. Poincaré section 7

8 1.1.3 Error against time-step RK2 ( ) and LF2 ( ) have the same accuracy. For τ too small, the accumulation of round-off errors is dominant Error against integration time RK2 ( ) shows a linear drift in the error. LF2 ( ) keeps its accuracy! Poincaré section 8

9 1.1.5 Open the box... (error against time-step) The file hh rk2 errstep.c contains the program that produces the data file needed to reproduce the plot error against time-step (RK2). Performs the following operations: read from the file hh rk2 errstep.inp some parameters; compute some rough Poincaré sections; compute the maximum relative error for different time-steps; store the results in hh rk2 errstep.dat The file hh lf2 errstep.c contains the program that produces the data file needed to reproduce the plot error against time-step (LF2). Performs the following operations: read from the file hh lf2 errstep.inp some parameters; compute some rough Poincaré sections; compute the maximum relative error for different time-steps; store the results in hh lf2 errstep.dat The file hh comp errstep.c permits to reproduce the plot error against time-step (RK2 vs. LF2). Poincaré section 9

10 1.1.6 Open the box... (error against integration time) The file hh rk2 errtot.c contains the program that produces the data file needed to reproduce the plot error against integration time (RK2). Performs the following operations: read from the file hh rk2 errtot.inp some parameters; compute some rough Poincaré sections; compute the maximum relative error for different integration times; store the results in hh rk2 errtot.dat The file hh lf2 errtot.c contains the program that produces the data file needed to reproduce the plot error against integration time (LF2). Performs the following operations: read from the file hh lf2 errtot.inp some parameters; compute some rough Poincaré sections; compute the maximum relative error for different integration times; store the results in hh lf2 errtot.dat The file hh comp errtot.c permits to reproduce the plot error against integration time (RK2 vs. LF2). Poincaré section 10

11 1.1.7 Poincaré sections for the Hénon-Heiles (resonant case) H(q,p) = ω 0 2 (p2 0 +q 2 0)+ ω 1 2 (p2 1 +q 2 1)+q 2 0q q3 1, ω 0 = ω 1 = 1. Energies: E = 1/100 (upper left); E = 1/12 (upper right); E = 1/8 (lower left); E = 1/6 (lower right). For low energy the dynamics appears to be completely ordered. The separation into two main regions is due to the 1:1 resonance. At the center of the main regions there are fixed points that correspond to periodic orbits; the surrounding curves represent beat phenomena due to resonance. For increasing energy a chaotic sea apparently filled by an orbit appears. Higher order resonances create ordered islands inside the chaotic sea. Poincaré section 11

12 1.1.8 Poincaré sections for the Hénon-Heiles (non-resonant case) H(q,p) = ω 0 2 (p2 0 +q2 0 )+ ω 1 2 (p2 1 +q2 1 )+q2 1 q q3 2, ω 0 = 1, ω 1 =. 2 E = E = E = E = E = E = Poincaré section 12

13 1.1.9 Poincaré sections for the Hénon-Heiles (frequencies with different sign) H(q,p) = ω 0 2 (p2 0 +q2 0 )+ ω 1 2 (p2 1 +q2 1 )+q2 1 q q3 2, ω 0 = 1, ω 1 =. 2 E = The energy surface is not compact. Many orbits escape to infinity. Successive enlargements of small regions (see the scale on the axes). The phenomenon of boxes into boxes : resonant islands and separatrices creating homoclinic intersections show up at every enlargement. Poincaré section 13

14 Open the box... (Poincaré sections) The file hh section nox.c allows to interactively set all the parameter of the Hénon-Heiles model and to compute the Poincaré section. The program store the points of the Poincaré section in the file hh section nox points.dat and the corresponding relative errors in hh section nox errors.dat. The accuracy of the Poincaré section can be improved changing a parameter in the code. The data file can be easily visualized using Gnuplot ( The file hh section X.c allows to interactively compute the Poincaré section for the Hénon-Heiles model. If the file hh section X.dat is found, it is supposed to be valid and the previous state is loaded. All the operations are stored in hh section X 2.dat. The idea is that after some runs, the good points are stored in a file that can be used as a skelton to produce nice plots. The program uses the Mizar graphics library in interactive mode via Tektronix Graphics (xterm). Active keys: E: change the energy F: change the frequencies R: reset Z: zoom (select a rectangle) B: change the boundary C + n: continue the previous orbit (n sections) <other> + n: compute n sections Poincaré section 14

15 1.2 Proposed exercises Write your own program to compute the Poincaré sections. If the graphics is a problem just save the date in a text file and use Gnuplot! Reproduce the figures reported in this chapter. Open the box and have a look at the code. Modify the programs that compute the Poincaré sections so as to read the input parameters from file. Improve the integration scheme (e.g., RK4, LF4, S BAB ). Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do., D.E. Knuth. Poincaré section 15
