Description / Table of Contents:
Sommario Si considera l'applicazione di metodi topologici (basati sulle teorie dei nodi, delle trecce e di Nielsen-Thurston) allo studio delle orbite transitorie, piuttosto che stazionarie, di oscillatori nonlineari forzati periodicamente. Tali applicazioni sono ristrette a sistemi aventi spazio delle fasi tridimensionale.
Notes:
Abstract We consider the application of topological methods (such as knot, braid and Nielsen-Thurston theory) to transient, rather than periodic, orbits of periodically-forced nonlinear oscillators. The methods are restricted to systems with a three-dimensional phase space.
