Dynamics of a neuron model in different two-dimensional parameter-spaces

We report some two-dimensional parameter-space diagrams numerically obtained for the multi-parameter Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model. Several different parameter planes are considered, and we show that regardless of the combination of parameters, a typical scenario is preserved: for all choice of two parameters, the parameter-space presents a comb-shaped chaotic region immersed in a large periodic region. We also show that exist regions close these chaotic region, separated by the comb teeth, organized themselves in period-adding bifurcation cascades.     

Ergodicity breaking induced by external coupled spatial-time noise processes

We report on the dynamics in a parameter plane of a continuous-time damped system driven by a periodic forcing. The dynamics is characterized by considering the Lyapunov exponents spectrum and conventional bifurcation diagrams, to discriminate periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic behaviors for each point in this parameter plane, according two parameters are simultaneously varied. Periodic structures born in a quasiperiodic region and embedded in a chaotic region, the so-called Arnold tongues, are observed. We show that the Arnold tongues periodic distribution is highly organized in a mixed set of two period-adding sequences. Other three typical periodic structures born and embedded in a chaotic region were observed, also individually organized in a mixed set of two period-adding sequences.     

耦合电路中的复杂振荡行为分析

讨论了两个非线性电路适当连接后的耦合系统随耦合强度变化的演化过程.给出了两子系统各自的分岔行为及通向混沌的过程,指出原子系统均为周期运动时,耦合系统依然会由倍周期分岔进入混沌,同时在混沌区域中存在有周期急剧增加及周期增加分岔等现象.而当周期运动和混沌振荡相互作用时,在弱耦合条件下,受混沌子系统的影响,原周期子系统会在其原先的轨道邻域内作微幅振荡,其振荡幅值随耦合强度的增加而增大,混沌的特征越加明显,相反,周期子系统不仅可以导致混沌子系统的失稳,也会引起混沌吸引子结构的变化. 关键词： 非线性电路 耦合强度 分岔 混沌

Border collision bifurcations in a two-dimensional piecewise smooth map from a simple switching circuit

In recent years, the study of chaotic and complex phenomena in electronic circuits has been widely developed due to the increasing number of applications. In these studies, associated with the use of chaotic sequences, chaos is required to be robust (not occurring only in a set of zero measure and persistent to perturbations of the system). These properties are not easy to be proved, and numerical simulations are often used. In this work, we consider a simple electronic switching circuit, proposed as chaos generator. The object of our study is to determine the ranges of the parameters at which the dynamics are chaotic, rigorously proving that chaos is robust. This is obtained showing that the model can be studied via a two-dimensional piecewise smooth map in triangular form and associated with a one-dimensional piecewise linear map. The bifurcations in the parameter space are determined analytically. These are the border collision bifurcation curves, the degenerate flip bifurcations, which only are allowed to occur to destabilize the stable cycles, and the homoclinic bifurcations occurring in cyclical chaotic regions leading to chaos in 1-piece.     

Nonlinear dynamics investigation in parameter planes of a periodically forced compound KdV-Burgers equation

Parameter plane plots related to a periodically forced compound Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers system, which is modeled by a third-order partial differential equation, are reported. It is shown that typical periodic structures embedded in a chaotic region in these parameter planes, organize themselves in different ways. There are bifurcation sequences whose periods have a well-defined law of formation, that may be written in a closed form, and there are bifurcation sequences self-organized in period-adding cascades.

Period-adding bifurcations and chaos in a bubble column

We obtained period-adding bifurcations in a bubble formation experiment. Using the air flow rate as the control parameter in this experiment, the bubble emission from the nozzle in a viscous fluid undergoes from single bubbling to a sequence of periodic bifurcations of k to k+1 periods, occasionally interspersed with some chaotic regions. Our main assumption is that this period-adding bifurcation in bubble formation depends on flow rate variations in the chamber under the nozzle. This assumption was experimentally tested by placing a tube between the air reservoir and the chamber under the nozzle in the bubble column experiment. By increasing the tube length, more period-adding bifurcations were observed. We associated two main types of bubble growth to the flow rate fluctuations inside the chamber for different bubbling regimes. We also studied the properties of piecewise nonlinear maps obtained from the experimental reconstructed attractors, and we concluded that this experiment is a spatially extended system.     

Controlling Chaos Probability of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Weak Optical Superlattice

The spatial chaos probability of a Bose-Einstein condensate perturbed by a weak optical superlattice is studied. It is demonstrated that the spatial. chaotic solution appears with a certain probability in a given parameter region under a random boundary condition. The effects of the lattice depths and wave vectors on the chaos probability are illustrated, and different regions associated with different chaos probabilities are found. This suggests a feasible scheme for suppressing and strengthening chaos by adjusting the optical superlattice experimentaJly.     

Relation between chaos probability and zero-point number of the Melnikov function for a Bose-Einstein condensate

We investigate an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate perturbed by a weak traveling optical superlattice. It is demonstrated that under a stochastic initial set and in a given parameter region solitonic chaos appears with a certain probability that is tightly related to the zero-point number of the Melnikov function; the latter depends on the potential parameters. Effects of the lattice depths and wave vectors on the chaos probability are studied analytically and numerically, and different chaotic regions of the parameter space are found. The results suggest a feasible method for strengthening or weakening chaos by modulating the potential parameters experimentally.

Dynamical phases of the Hindmarsh-Rose neuronal model: studies of the transition from bursting to spiking chaos

The dynamical phases of the Hindmarsh-Rose neuronal model are analyzed in detail by varying the external current I. For increasing current values, the model exhibits a peculiar cascade of nonchaotic and chaotic period-adding bifurcations leading the system from the silent regime to a chaotic state dominated by bursting events. At higher I-values, this phase is substituted by a regime of continuous chaotic spiking and finally via an inverse period doubling cascade the system returns to silence. The analysis is focused on the transition between the two chaotic phases displayed by the model: one dominated by spiking dynamics and the other by bursts. At the transition an abrupt shrinking of the attractor size associated with a sharp peak in the maximal Lyapunov exponent is observable. However, the transition appears to be continuous and smoothed out over a finite current interval, where bursts and spikes coexist. The beginning of the transition (from the bursting side) is signaled from a structural modification in the interspike interval return map. This change in the map shape is associated with the disappearance of the family of solutions responsible for the onset of the bursting chaos. The successive passage from bursting to spiking chaos is associated with a progressive pruning of unstable long-lasting bursts.

Topological invariants in the study of a chaotic food chain system

The study of ecological systems has generated deep interest in exploring the complexity of chaotic food chains. The role of chaos in ecosystems is not entirely understood. One approach to have a better comprehension of ecological chaos is by analyzing it in mathematical models of basic food chains. In this article it is considered a classical chaotic food chain model from the literature. We use the theory of symbolic dynamics to study the topological entropy and the parameter space ordering of kneading sequences associated with one-dimensional maps that reproduce significant aspects of the model dynamics. The topological entropy allows us to distinguish different chaotic states in some realistic system parameter region. Another numerical invariant is introduced in order to characterize isentropic dynamics. Studying a set of maps with the same topological entropy, we exhibit numerical results about the relation between the second topological invariant and each of the control parameters in consideration. This work provides an illustration of how our understanding of ecological models can be enhanced by the theory of symbolic dynamics.

From local to global spatiotemporal chaos in a cardiac tissue model

Two kinds of chaos can occur in cardiac tissue, chaotic meander of a single intact spiral wave and chaotic spiral wave breakup. We studied these behaviors in a model of two-dimensional cardiac tissue based on the Luo-Rudy I action potential model. In the chaotic meander regime, chaos is spatially localized to the core of the spiral wave. When persistent spiral wave breakup occurs, there is a transition from local to global spatiotemporal chaos.     

Generation and control of chaos in a Bose--Einstein condensate

For a Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in a double lattice consisting of two weak laser standing waves we find the Melnikov chaotic solution and chaotic region of parameter space by using the direct perturbation method. In the chaotic region, spatial evolutions of the chaotic solution and the corresponding distribution of particle number density are bounded but unpredictable between their superior and inferior limits. It is illustrated that when the relation k₁\approx k₂ between the two laser wave vectors is kept, the adjustment from k₂1 to k₂\ge k₁ can transform the chaotic region into regular one or the other way round. This suggests a feasible scheme for generating and controlling chaos, which could lead to an experimental observation in the near future.     

Torus destruction via global bifurcations in a piecewise-smooth, continuous map with square-root nonlinearity

It has been shown recently that torus formation in piecewise-smooth maps can occur through a special type of border collision bifurcation in which a pair of complex conjugate Floquet multipliers “jump” from the inside to the outside of the unit circle. It has also been shown that a large class of impacting mechanical systems yield piecewise-smooth maps with square-root singularity. In this Letter we investigate the dynamics of a two-dimensional piecewise-smooth map with square-root type nonlinearity, and describe two new routes to chaos through the destruction of two-frequency torus. In the first scenario, we identify the transition to chaos through the destruction of a loop torus via homoclinic bifurcation. In the other scenario, a change of structure in the torus occurs via heteroclinic saddle connections. Further parameter changes lead to a homoclinic bifurcation resulting in the creation of a chaotic attractor. However, this scenario is much more complex, with the appearance of a sequence of heteroclinic and homoclinic bifurcations.     

Periodicity hub and nested spirals in the phase diagram of a simple resistive circuit

We report the discovery of a remarkable "periodicity hub" inside the chaotic phase of an electronic circuit containing two diodes as a nonlinear resistance. The hub is a focal point from where an infinite hierarchy of nested spirals emanates. By suitably tuning two reactances simultaneously, both current and voltage may have their periodicity increased continuously without bound and without ever crossing the surrounding chaotic phase. Familiar period-adding current and voltage cascades are shown to be just restricted one-parameter slices of an exceptionally intricate and very regular onionlike parameter surface centered at the focal hub which organizes all the dynamics.
