Equilibria, periodic orbits and computing them

.
(2019)

Abstract

In this short exposition, we describe equilibria and periodic orbits in terms of the flow map, \Phi, and discuss the essentials of the Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov (JFNK) method that can be used to find them. This method requires little more than calls to an existing time stepping code, which \Phi can be considered to represent. Fortran90 / MATLAB code is available to try it out for yourself, where, in the template/example the method is applied to the Lorenz system. This code is problem-independent and can be applied to large systems, having initially been developed to find periodic orbits in simulations of pipe flow.
