A primary spectral submanifold (SSM) is the unique smoothest nonlinear continuation of a nonresonant spectral subspace E of a dynamical system linearized at a fixed point. Passing from the full nonlinear dynamics to the flow on an attracting primary SSM provides a mathematically precise reduction of the full system dynamics to a very low-dimensional, smooth model in polynomial form. A limitation of this model reduction approach has been, however, that the spectral subspace yielding the SSM must be spanned by eigenvectors of the same stability type. A further limitation has been that in some problems, the nonlinear behavior of interest may be far away from the smoothest nonlinear continuation of the invariant subspace E. Here, we remove both of these limitations by constructing a significantly extended class of SSMs that also contains invariant manifolds with mixed internal stability types and of lower smoothness class arising from fractional powers in their parametrization. We show on examples how fractional and mixed-mode SSMs extend the power of data-driven SSM reduction to transitions in shear flows, dynamic buckling of beams, and periodically forced nonlinear oscillatory systems. More generally, our results reveal the general function library that should be used beyond integer-powered polynomials in fitting nonlinear reduced-order models to data.
We consider a class of nonlinear partial difference equations with continuous variables. Some oscillation criteria are obtained using an integral transformation and inequalities.
