Invariant manifold growth formula in cylindrical coordinates and its application for magnetically confined fusion

For three-dimensional vector fields, the governing formula of invariant manifolds grown from a hyperbolic cycle is given in cylindrical coordinates. The initial growth directions depend on the Jacobians of Poincaré map on that cycle, for which an evolution formula is deduced to reveal the relationship among Jacobians of different Poincaré sections. The evolution formula also applies to cycles in arbitrary finite n-dimensional autonomous continuous-time dynamical systems. Non-Möbiusian/Möbiusian saddle cycles and a dummy X-cycle are constructed analytically as demonstration. A real-world numeric example of analyzing a magnetic field timeslice on EAST is presented.
