Tubes in dynamical systems

Important concepts concerning tubes in dynamical systems are defined in details. In the cases of a homoclinic tube and a heteroclinically tubular cycle in autonomous systems, existence of tubular chaos is established. The main goal of this article is to stress the importance of tubes in high dimensional dynamical systems.     

Transversal connecting orbits from shadowing

A rigorous numerical method for establishing the existence of a transversal connecting orbit from one hyperbolic periodic orbit to another of a differential equation in is presented. As the first component of this method, a general shadowing theorem that guarantees the existence of such a connecting orbit near a suitable pseudo connection orbit given the invertibility of a certain operator is proved. The second component consists of a refinement procedure for numerically computing a pseudo connecting orbit between two pseudo periodic orbits with sufficiently small local errors so as to satisfy the hypothesis of the theorem. The third component consists of a numerical procedure to verify the invertibility of the operator and obtain a rigorous upper bound for the norm of its inverse. Using this method, existence of chaos is demonstrated on examples with transversal homoclinic orbits, and with cycles of transversal heteroclinic orbits.     

Heteroclinic cycles in lattice dynamical systems

A criterion of spatial chaos occurring in lattice dynamical systems—heteroclinic cycle—is discussed It is proved that if the system has asymptotically stable heteroclinic cycle, then it has asymptotically stable homoclinic point which implies spatial chaos.

The density of the transversal homoclinic points in the Henon-like strange attractors

We consider the Henon-like strange attractors Λ in a family which is a nonsingular perturbation of a d-modal family. The existence of the Henon-like strange attractors in this family was proved by Diaz et al. [Inventions Math. 125 (1996) 37]. We prove that the transversal homoclinic points are dense in Λ, and that hyperbolic periodic points are dense in Λ. Moreover, the hyperbolic periodic points that are heteroclinically related to the primary periodic point (transversal intersection of stable and unstable manifolds) are dense in Λ.     

On the Shadowing Property and Shadowable Point of Set-valued Dynamical Systems

In this article, the authors introduce the concept of shadowable points for set-valued dynamical systems, the pointwise version of the shadowing property, and prove that a set-valued dynamical system has the shadowing property iff every point in the phase space is shadowable; every chain transitive set-valued dynamical system has either the shadowing property or no shadowable points; and for a set-valued dynamical system there exists a shadowable point iff there exists a minimal shadowable point. In the end, it is proved that a set-valued dynamical system with the shadowing property is totally transitive iff it is mixing and iff it has the specification property.

Generic points for dynamical systems with average shadowing

We study the Besicovitch pseudometric \(D_B\) for compact dynamical systems. The set of generic points of ergodic measures turns out to be closed with respect to \(D_B\). It is proved that the weak specification property implies the average asymptotic shadowing property and the latter property does not imply the former one nor the almost specification property. Furthermore an example of a proximal system with the average shadowing property is constructed. It is proved that to every invariant measure \(\mu \) of a compact dynamical system one can associate a certain asymptotic pseudo orbit such that any point asymptotically tracing in average that pseudo orbit is generic for \(\mu \). A simple consequence of the theory presented is that every invariant measure has a generic point in a system with the asymptotic average shadowing property.

Rigorous computational shadowing of orbits of ordinary differential equations

Summary. The existence of a true orbit near a numerically computed approximate orbit -- shadowing -- of autonomous system of ordinary differential equations is investigated. A general shadowing theorem for finite time, which guarantees the existence of shadowing in ordinary differential equations and provides error bounds for the distance between the true and the approximate orbit in terms of computable quantities, is proved. The practical use and the effectiveness of this theorem is demonstrated in the numerical computations of chaotic orbits of the Lorenz equations. Received December 15, 1993     

Effects of Hard Limits on Bifurcation, Chaos and Stability

An SMIB model in the power systems,especially that concering the effects of hard limits onbifurcations,chaos and stability is studied.Parameter conditions for bifurcations and chaos in the absence ofhard limits are compared with those in the presence of hard limits.It has been proved that hard limits can affectsystem stability.We find that (1) hard limits can change unstable equilibrium into stable one;(2) hard limits canchange stability of limit cycles induced by Hopf bifurcation;(3) persistence of hard limits can stabilize divergenttrajectory to a stable equilibrium or limit cycle;(4) Hopf bifurcation occurs before SN bifurcation,so the systemcollapse can be controlled before Hopf bifurcation occurs.We also find that suitable limiting values of hard limitscan enlarge the feasibility region.These results are based on theoretical analysis and numerical simulations,such as condition for SNB and Hopf bifurcation,bifurcation diagram,trajectories,Lyapunov exponent,Floquetmultipliers,dimension of attractor and so on.     

Chaos in PDEs and Lax Pairs of Euler Equations

Recently, the author and collaborators have developed a systematic program for proving the existence of homoclinic orbits in partial differential equations. Two typical forms of homoclinic orbits thus obtained are: (1) transversal homoclinic orbits, (2) Silnikov homoclinic orbits. Around the transversal homoclinic orbits in infinite-dimensional autonomous systems, the author was able to prove the existence of chaos through a shadowing lemma. Around the Silnikov homoclinic orbits, the author was able to prove the existence of chaos through a horseshoe construction.Very recently, there has been a breakthrough by the author in finding Lax pairs for Euler equations of incompressible inviscid fluids. Further results have been obtained by the author and collaborators.     

Study on chaos induced by turbulent maps in noncompact sets

This paper is concerned with chaos induced by strictly turbulent maps in noncompact sets of complete metric spaces. Two criteria of chaos for such types of maps are established, and then a criterion of chaos, characterized by snap-back repellers in complete metric spaces, is obtained. All the maps presented in this paper are proved to be chaotic either in the sense of both Li–Yorke and Wiggins or in the sense of both Li–Yorke and Devaney. The results weaken the assumptions in some existing criteria of chaos. Several illustrative examples are provided with computer simulation.

Chaos control of fractional order Rabinovich–Fabrikant system and synchronization between chaotic and chaos controlled fractional order Rabinovich–Fabrikant system

In this article the local stability of the Rabinovich–Fabrikant (R–F) chaotic system with fractional order time derivative is analyzed using fractional Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion. Feedback control method is used to control chaos in the considered fractional order system and after controlling the chaos the authors have introduced the synchronization between fractional order non-chaotic R–F system and the chaotic R–F system at various equilibrium points. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. Numerical simulation results which are carried out using Adams–Boshforth–Moulton method show that the method is effective and reliable for synchronizing the systems.     

The existences of transverse homoclinic solutions and chaos for parabolic equations

By using Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and exponential dichotomies, the persistence of homoclinic orbit is considered for parabolic equations with small perturbations. Bifurcation functions are obtained, where d is the dimension of the intersection of the stable and unstable manifolds. The zeros of H correspond to the existence of the homoclinic orbit for the perturbed systems. Some applicable conditions are given to ensure that the functions are solvable. Moreover the homoclinic solution for the perturbed system is transversal under the applicable conditions and hence the perturbed system exhibits chaos. The basic tools are shadowing lemma which was obtained by Blazquez (see [C.M. Blazquez, Transverse homoclinic orbits in periodically perturbed parabolic equations, Nonlinear Anal. 10 (1986) 1277-1291]).     

On certain properties of Rademacher chaos

We study the properties of Rademacher chaos related to its “lacunarity.” It is proved that Rademacher chaos of arbitrary order d is a 2^?d -uniqueness system as well as a system of strict convergence in the wide (not narrow) sense.     

Chaos induced by snap-back repellers in non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems

This paper focuses on chaos induced by snap-back repellers in non-autonomous discrete systems. A new concept of snap-back repeller for non-autonomous discrete systems is introduced and several new criteria of chaos induced by snap-back repellers in non-autonomous discrete systems are established. In addition, it is proved that a regular and nondegenerate snap-back repeller in non-autonomous discrete systems implies chaos in the (strong) sense of Li–Yorke. Two illustrative examples are proved.     

Chaos behavior in the discrete Fitzhugh nerve system

The discrete Fitzhugh nerve systems obtained by the Euler method is investigated and it is proved that there exist chaotic phenomena in the sense of Marotto’s definition of chaos. And numerical simulations not only show the consistence with the theoretical analysis but also exhibit the complex dynarnical behaviors, including the ten-periodic orbit, a cascade of period-doubling bifurcation, quasiperiodic orbits and the chaotic orbits and intermittent chaos. The computations of Lyapunov exponents confirm the chaos behaviors. Moreover we also find a strange attractor having the self-similar ohit structure as that of Henon attractor.
