There is a stationary basic state with the fluid at rest and a uniform current J=(0,0,J3). Surprisingly, this basic state proves to be stable and apparently to be the only time-asymptotic state, no matter how strong the applied electric field and irrespective of the other control parameters of the system, namely, the magnetic Prandtl number, the spatial periods L2 and L3 in the x2 and x3 directions, and the mean values B¯2 and B¯3 of the magnetic-field components in these directions.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{FeudelSeehaferGalantietal.1996, author = {Feudel, Fred and Seehafer, Norbert and Galanti, Barak and R{\"u}diger, Sten}, title = {Symmetry breaking bifurcations for the magnetohydrodynamic equations with helical forcing}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14317}, year = {1996}, abstract = {We have studied the bifurcations in a three-dimensional incompressible magnetofluid with periodic boundary conditions and an external forcing of the Arnold-Beltrami-Childress (ABC) type. Bifurcation-analysis techniques have been applied to explore the qualitative behavior of solution branches. Due to the symmetry of the forcing, the equations are equivariant with respect to a group of transformations isomorphic to the octahedral group, and we have paid special attention to symmetry-breaking effects. As the Reynolds number is increased, the primary nonmagnetic steady state, the ABC flow, loses its stability to a periodic magnetic state, showing the appearance of a generic dynamo effect; the critical value of the Reynolds number for the instability of the ABC flow is decreased compared to the purely hydrodynamic case. The bifurcating magnetic branch in turn is subject to secondary, symmetry-breaking bifurcations. We have traced periodic and quasi- periodic branches until they end up in chaotic states. In particular detail we have analyzed the subgroup symmetries of the bifurcating periodic branches, which are closely related to the spatial structure of the magnetic field.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{MaassRieder1996, author = {Maaß, Peter and Rieder, Andreas}, title = {Wavelet-accelerated Tikhonov-Phillips regularization with applications}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14104}, year = {1996}, abstract = {Contents: 1 Introduction 1.1 Tikhanov-Phillips Regularization of Ill-Posed Problems 1.2 A Compact Course to Wavelets 2 A Multilevel Iteration for Tikhonov-Phillips Regularization 2.1 Multilevel Splitting 2.2 The Multilevel Iteration 2.3 Multilevel Approach to Cone Beam Reconstuction 3 The use of approximating operators 3.1 Computing approximating families {Ah}}, language = {en} } @unpublished{BraunFeudel1996, author = {Braun, Robert and Feudel, Fred}, title = {Supertransient chaos in the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14099}, year = {1996}, abstract = {We have shown that the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation exhibits supertransient chaos in a certain parameter range.

Additionally, we use a method of nonlinear dynamics, the recurrence rate, to back up the results. Our findings are not contradictory to the record of solar maxima resp. minima by Eddy [5], but constitute a considerable extension. Hence, it has become possible to look closer at the validity of models. This way, we have tested several models for solar activity, esp. the model of Barnes et al. [1].

Fourier representations of velocity and pressure have been used to approximate the original partial differential equations by a finite-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations, which then has been studied by means of bifurcation-analysis techniques. A special route into chaos observed for increasing Reynolds number or strength of the imposed forcing is described. It includes several steady states, traveling waves, modulated traveling waves, periodic and torus solutions, as well as a period-doubling cascade for a torus solution. Lyapunov exponents and Kaplan-Yorke dimensions have been calculated to characterize the chaotic branch. While studying the dynamics of the system in Fourier space, we also have transformed solutions to real space and examined the relation between the different bifurcations in Fourier space and toplogical changes of the streamline portrait. In particular, the time-dependent solutions, such as, e.g., traveling waves, torus, and chaotic solutions, have been characterized by the associated fluid-particle motion (Lagrangian dynamics).}, language = {en} }
