ABSTRACT
Dynamical systems are used to model a variety of time-dependent systems. Visualizations of dynamical systems can display a large amount of information in a single image, but generating these images requires both mathematical and programming expertise. dsmodels is a domain-specific language (DSL) for visualizing two-dimensional dynamical systems. dsmodels speeds up the process of visualizing a dynamical system by providing primitives to capture models, encapsulate features, and depict the overall behavior of the system. dsmodels can also simulate dynamical systems to compute attractors and their basis of attraction, allowing for rapid prototyping or informal analysis. We present dsmodels using a case study of population models.

Dynamics in spectral solutions of Burgers equation
For low values of the viscosity coefficient, Burgers equation can develop sharp discontinuities, which are difficult to simulate in a computer. Oscillations can occur by discretization through spectral collocation methods, due to Gibbs phenomena. Under ...
The Numerical Computation of Homoclinic Orbits for Maps
Transversal homoclinic orbits of maps are known to generate shift dynamics on a set with Cantor-like structure. In this paper a numerical method is developed for computation of the corresponding homoclinic orbits. They are approximated by finite-orbit ...
On manifolds of connecting orbits in discretizations of dynamical systems
It is shown that one-step methods, when applied to a one-parametric dynamical system with a homoclinic orbit, exhibit a closed loop of discrete homoclinic orbits. On this loop, the parameter varies periodically while the orbit shifts its index after one ...
