Bursting phenomena as well as the bifurcation mechanism in controlled Lorenz oscillator with two time scales

A controlled Lorenz model with fast-slow effect has been established, in which there exist order gap between the variables associated with the controller and the original Lorenz oscillator, respectively. The conditions of fold bifurcation as well as Hopf bifurcation for the fast subsystem are derived to investigate the mechanism of the behaviors of the whole system. Two cases in which the equilibrium points of the fast subsystem behave in different characteristics have been considered, leading to different dynamical evolutions with the change of coupling strength. Several types of bursting phenomena, such as fold/fold burster, fold/Hopf burster, near-fold/Hopf burster, fold/near-Hopf buster have been observed. Theoretical analysis shows that the bifurcations points which connect the quiescent state and the repetitive spiking state agree well with the turning points of the trajectories of the bursters. Furthermore, the mechanism of the period-adding bifurcations, resulting in the rapid change of the period of the movements, is presented.     

Routes to bursting in a periodically driven oscillator

The dynamical behaviors of a periodic excited oscillator with multiple time scales in the form that order gap exists between the frequency of the excitation and the natural frequency, are investigated in this Letter. By regarding the whole excitation term as a parameter, bifurcation sets are derived, which divide the generalized parameter space into several regions corresponding to different kinds of dynamics. Different types of bursting phenomena, such as fold/Hopf bursting, fold/Hopf/homoclinic bursting and Hopf/homoclinic bursting, are presented, the mechanism of which is obtained based on the bifurcations of the generalized autonomous system as well as the introduction of the so-called transformed phase portraits. Furthermore, the evolution of the bursting is discussed in details, in which one may find that when the two limit cycles caused by the Hopf bifurcations of the two related equilibrium points interact with each other, homoclinic bifurcation may occur, leading to the merge of the two cycles to form a large amplitude cycle. The homoclinic bifurcation may cause the two asymmetric bursters to merge into a symmetric enlarged burster, in which the large amplitude of the spiking state agrees well with the amplitude of the cycle caused by the homoclinic bifurcation.

Non-smooth bursting analysis of a Filippov-type system with multiple-frequency excitations

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the patterns of the bursting oscillations and the non-smooth dynamical behaviours in a Filippov-type system which possesses parametric and external periodic excitations. We take a coupled system consisting of Duffing and Van der Pol oscillators as an example. Owing to the existence of an order gap between the exciting frequency and the natural one, we can regard a single periodic excitation as a slow-varying parameter, and the other periodic excitations can be transformed as functions of the slow-varying parameter when the exciting frequency is far less than the natural one. By analysing the subsystems, we derive equilibrium branches and related bifurcations with the variation of the slow-varying parameter. Even though the equilibrium branches with two different frequencies of the parametric excitation have a similar structure, the tortuousness of the equilibrium branches is diverse, and the number of extreme points is changed from 6 to 10. Overlying the equilibrium branches with the transformed phase portrait and employing the evolutionary process of the limit cycle induced by the Hopf bifurcation, the critical conditions of the homoclinic bifurcation and multisliding bifurcation are derived. Numerical simulation verifies the results well.     

Different types of bursting in Chay neuronal model

Based on actual neuronal firing activities, bursting in the Chay neuronal model is considered, in which V _K, reversal potentials for K⁺, V _C, reversal potentials for Ca²⁺, time kinetic constant λ _n and an additional depolarized current I are considered as dynamical parameters. According to the number of the Hopf bifurcation points on the upper branch of the bifurcation curve of fast subsystem, which is associated with the stable limit cycle corresponding to spiking states, different types of bursting and their respective dynamical behavior are surveyed by means of fast-slow dynamical bifurcation analysis.

Defect chaos and bursts: hexagonal rotating convection and the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

We employ numerical computations of the full Navier-Stokes equations to investigate non-Boussinesq convection in a rotating system using water as the working fluid. We identify two regimes. For weak non-Boussinesq effects the Hopf bifurcation from steady to oscillating (whirling) hexagons is supercritical and typical states exhibit defect chaos that is systematically described by the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. For stronger non-Boussinesq effects the Hopf bifurcation becomes subcritical and the oscillations exhibit localized chaotic bursting, which is modeled by a quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.     

Non-smooth bifurcations in a double-scroll circuit with periodic excitation

The fast-slow effect can be observed in a typical non-smooth electric circuit with order gap between the natural frequency and the excitation frequency. Numerical simulations are employed to show complicated behaviours, especially different types of busting phenomena. The bifurcation mechanism for the bursting solutions is analysed by assuming the forms of the solutions and introducing the generalized Jacobian matrix at the non-smooth boundaries, which can also be used to account for the evolution of the complicated structures of the phase portraits with the variation of the parameter. Period-adding bifurcation has been explored through the computation of the eigenvalues related to the solutions. At the non-smooth boundaries the so-called `single crossing bifurcation' can occur, corresponding to the case where the eigenvalues jump only once across the imaginary axis, which leads the periodic burster to have a quasi-periodic oscillation.

相位噪声诱发神经放电的单次或两次相干共振

神经元电活动可以从静息通过Hopf分岔到放电,放电频率有固定周期;也可以从静息通过鞍-结分岔到放电,放电频率接近零.在具有周期性的相位噪声作用下的Hopf分岔和鞍-结分岔点附近,都会产生相干共振.噪声的周期小于Hopf分岔点附近的放电的周期时,相位噪声可以引起神经系统产生一次相干共振,位于系统内在的固有频率附近;噪声的周期大于系统的固有周期时,相位噪声可以引起双共振,对应低噪声强度的共振产生在噪声频率附近,对应高噪声强度的共振产生在系统的固有频率附近;并对双共振的产生原因进行了解释.在鞍-结分岔点附近,无论噪声的周期是大是小,都只会引起一次共振,研究结果不仅揭示了相位噪声作用下平衡点分岔点相干共振的动力学特性和对应于两类分岔的两类神经兴奋性的差别,还对近期的相位噪声诱发产生单或双共振的不同研究结果给出了解释.     

Nearly Vertical Hopf Bifurcation for a Passively Q-Switched Microchip Laser

Passively Q-switched microchip lasers generate strongly pulsating intensity oscillations that emerge from a Hopf bifurcation point. We show that this bifurcation is nearly vertical and explain why strongly pulsating oscillations are immediately observed as we pass the Hopf bifurcation point. The laser dynamical problem is mathematically a singular perturbation problem which we investigate. The leading order problem is conservative and corresponds to Lotka–Volterra equations.     

Bursting oscillations as well as the bifurcation mechanism in a non-smooth chaotic geomagnetic field model

Based on the chaotic geomagnetic field model, a non-smooth factor is introduced to explore complex dynamical behaviors of a system with multiple time scales. By regarding the whole excitation term as a parameter, bifurcation sets are derived, which divide the generalized parameter space into several regions corresponding to different kinds of dynamic behaviors. Due to the existence of non-smooth factors, different types of bifurcations are presented in spiking states, such as grazing-sliding bifurcation and across-sliding bifurcation. In addition, the non-smooth fold bifurcation may lead to the appearance of a special quiescent state in the interface as well as a non-smooth homoclinic bifurcation phenomenon. Due to these bifurcation behaviors, a special transition between spiking and quiescent state can also occur.     

Coherence resonance and stochastic synchronization in a nonlinear circuit near a subcritical Hopf bifurcation

We analyze noise-induced phenomena in nonlinear dynamical systems near a subcritical Hopf bifurcation. We investigate qualitative changes of probability distributions (stochastic bifurcations), coherence resonance, and stochastic synchronization. These effects are studied in dynamical systems for which a subcritical Hopf bifurcation occurs. We perform analytical calculations, numerical simulations and experiments on an electronic circuit. For the generalized Van der Pol model we uncover the similarities between the behavior of a self-sustained oscillator characterized by a subcritical Hopf bifurcation and an excitable system. The analogy is manifested through coherence resonance and stochastic synchronization. In particular, we show both experimentally and numerically that stochastic oscillations that appear due to noise in a system with hard excitation, can be partially synchronized even outside the oscillatory regime of the deterministic system.     

Symmetric bursting behaviour in non-smooth Chua’s circuit

<正>The dynamics of a non-smooth electric circuit with an order gap between its parameters is investigated in this paper.Different types of symmetric bursting phenomena can be observed in numerical simulations.Their dynamical behaviours are discussed by means of slow-fast analysis.Furthermore,the generalized Jacobian matrix at the non-smooth boundaries is introduced to explore the bifurcation mechanism for the bursting solutions,which can also be used to account for the evolution of the complicated structures of the phase portraits.With the variation of the parameter,the periodic symmetric bursting can evolve into chaotic symmetric bursting via period-doubling bifurcation.     

Bifurcation Analysis and Transition Mechanism in a Modified Model of Ca~(2+) Oscillations

Some new elements are introduced into a mathematical model of intracellular calcium oscillations, which make it particularly suitable for the study of bifurcation. In addition to generating regular oscillations, such a modified model can be used to reproduce the burst discharges similar to those recorded in experiments and to describe two new types of oscillatory phenomena. By means of a fast/slow dynamical analysis, we explore the bifurcation and transition mechanisms associated with two types of bursters due to changes in the interaction of two slow variables with different timescales.
