Chains of coupled pendula pairs are fundamental in the theoretical physics. In certain asymptotic limits, these chains can be models by parity-time reversal models with Hamiltonian structure. By using energy conservation, global dynamics and stability of oscillations can be analysed by using functional-analytical tools. The goal of this project is to understand nonlinear properties of the parity-time reversal systems.
Impact
The project targets areas of applied and theoretical physics and increases understanding of the PT-symmetric systems and Dirac-type models.
Student Experience
The project involves McMaster PhD student, Alexander Chernyavsky. It also involves a PhD student from Guadeloupe, Eden Destyl.
