Synchronization and suppression of chaos in non-locally coupled map lattices

We considered coupled map lattices with long-range interactions to study the spatiotemporal behaviour of spatially extended dynamical systems. Coupled map lattices have been intensively investigated as models to understand many spatiotemporal phenomena observed in extended system, and consequently spatiotemporal chaos. We used the complex order parameter to quantify chaos synchronization for a one-dimensional chain of coupled logistic maps with a coupling strength which varies with the lattice in a power-law fashion. Depending on the range of the interactions, complete chaos synchronization and chaos suppression may be attained. Furthermore, we also calculated the Lyapunov dimension and the transversal distance to the synchronization manifold.     

Layered Ising models on triangular and honeycomb lattices

We study inhomogeneous Ising models on triangular and honeycomb lattices. The nearest neighbour couplings can have arbitrary strength and sign such that the coupling distribution is translationally invariant in the direction of one lattice axis, i.e. the models have a layered structure. By using a transfer matrix method we derive closed form expressions for the partition functions and free energies. The critical temperatures are calculated. Phase transitions at a finite critical temperature are universally of Ising type. Models with no phase transition may show different behaviour atT=0, which is explicitly shown for fully frustrated models on square, triangular and honeycomb lattices. Finally, generalizations to layered Ising models on more general lattices are discussed.Work performed within the research program of the Sonderforschungsbereich 125 Aachen-Jülich-Köln     

Breaking of Ergodicity in Expanding Systems of Globally Coupled Piecewise Affine Circle Maps

To identify and to explain coupling-induced phase transitions in coupled map lattices (CML) has been a lingering enigma for about two decades. In numerical simulations, this phenomenon has always been observed preceded by a lowering of the Lyapunov dimension, suggesting that the transition might require changes of linear stability. Yet, recent proofs of co-existence of several phases in specially designed models work in the expanding regime where all Lyapunov exponents remain positive. In this paper, we consider a family of CML composed by piecewise expanding individual map, global interaction and finite number $N$ of sites, in the weak coupling regime where the CML is uniformly expanding. We show, mathematically for $N=3$ and numerically for $N\ge 3$ , that a transition in the asymptotic dynamics occurs as the coupling strength increases. The transition breaks the (Milnor) attractor into several chaotic pieces of positive Lebesgue measure, with distinct empiric averages. It goes along with various symmetry breaking, quantified by means of magnetization-type characteristics. Despite that it only addresses finite-dimensional systems, to some extend, this result reconciles the previous ones as it shows that loss of ergodicity/symmetry breaking can occur in basic CML, independently of any decay in the Lyapunov dimension.

The Ising model on random lattices in arbitrary dimensions

We study analytically the Ising model coupled to random lattices in dimension three and higher. The family of random lattices we use is generated by the large N limit of a colored tensor model generalizing the two-matrix model for Ising spins on random surfaces. We show that, in the continuum limit, the spin system does not exhibit a phase transition at finite temperature, in agreement with numerical investigations. Furthermore we outline a general method to study critical behavior in colored tensor models.

Equivalence of random and competing nonrandom bonds for Edwards Anderson spin-glass

We map the Edwards Anderson Hamiltonian onto an effective Hamiltonian for Ising spins with nonrandom competing couplings. A high-temperature series is used to calculate the coupling constants to 20th, 16th, and 12th order for two, three, and four dimensions, respectively. We conclude the lower critical dimension to be close to three and find the correlation-length and susceptibility critical exponents to be twice as large as for thed=3 Ising model.     

Spatiotemporal chaos and noise

Low-dimensional chaotic dynamical systems can exhibit many characteristic properties of stochastic systems, such as broad Fourier spectra. They are distinguishable from stochastic processes through finite values for their dimension, Lyapunov exponents, and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. We discuss how these characteristic observables are modified in spatiotemporal chaotic systems like. coupled map lattices. We analyze with the help of Lyapunov concepts how the stochastic limit is approached and how these properties can be observed directly through local dimension measurements from reconstructed time series. Finally, we discuss the interaction of spatiotemporal attractors with external noise and possible connections to problems of pattern selection and stability.     

Strong and Weak Chaos in Weakly Nonintegrable Many-Body Hamiltonian Systems

We study properties of chaos in generic one-dimensional nonlinear Hamiltonian lattices comprised of weakly coupled nonlinear oscillators by numerical simulations of continuous-time systems and symplectic maps. For small coupling, the measure of chaos is found to be proportional to the coupling strength and lattice length, with the typical maximal Lyapunov exponent being proportional to the square root of coupling. This strong chaos appears as a result of triplet resonances between nearby modes. In addition to strong chaos we observe a weakly chaotic component having much smaller Lyapunov exponent, the measure of which drops approximately as a square of the coupling strength down to smallest couplings we were able to reach. We argue that this weak chaos is linked to the regime of fast Arnold diffusion discussed by Chirikov and Vecheslavov. In disordered lattices of large size we find a subdiffusive spreading of initially localized wave packets over larger and larger number of modes. The relations between the exponent of this spreading and the exponent in the dependence of the fast Arnold diffusion on coupling strength are analyzed. We also trace parallels between the slow spreading of chaos and deterministic rheology.     

Equilibrium Phase Transitions in Coupled Map Lattices: A Pedestrian Approach

A class of piecewise linear coupled map lattices with simple symbolic dynamics is constructed. It can be solved analytically in terms of the statistical mechanics of spin lattices. The corresponding Hamiltonian is written down explicitly in terms of the parameters of the map. The approach follows the line of recent mathematical investigations. But the presentation is kept elementary so that phase transitions in the dynamical model can be studied in detail. Although the method works only for map lattices with repelling invariant sets some of the conclusions, i.e., the role of local curvature of the single site map and properties of the nearest neighbour coupling might play an important role for phase transitions in general dynamical systems.     

Dynamical behavior of the multiplicative diffusion coupled map lattices

We report a dynamical study of multiplicative diffusion coupled map lattices with the coupling between the elements only through the bifurcation parameter of the mapping function. We discuss the diffusive process of the lattice from an initially random distribution state to a homogeneous one as well as the stable range of the diffusive homogeneous attractor. For various coupling strengths we find that there are several types of spatiotemporal structures. In addition, the evolution of the lattice into chaos is studied. A largest Lyapunov exponent and a spatial correlation function have been used to characterize the dynamical behavior. (c) 1996 American Institute of Physics.     

The spatial logistic map as a simple prototype for spatiotemporal chaos

A spatial extension of the logistic map-termed spatial logistic map-is found to display the same basic universality classes as the commonly studied diffusively coupled logistic lattice despite being vastly simpler. By analyzing the escape rates and the Lyapunov spectra it is shown that the main attractors of the spatial logistic map are stable and hence that it is a good candidate for serving as a prototype for the class of coupled map lattices which it is a part of. The spatial logistic map is then employed to provide an analytical derivation for the recently discovered linear scaling of the wavelength under increasing coupling ranges.     

Entropy of coupled map lattices

The entropy of coupled map lattices with respect to the group of space-time translations is considered. We use the notion of generalized Lyapunov spectra to prove the analogue of the Ruelle inequality and the Pesin formula.     

Collective phase chaos in the dynamics of interacting oscillator ensembles

We study the chaotic behavior of order parameters in two coupled ensembles of self-sustained oscillators. Coupling within each of these ensembles is switched on and off alternately, while the mutual interaction between these two subsystems is arranged through quadratic nonlinear coupling. We show numerically that in the course of alternating Kuramoto transitions to synchrony and back to asynchrony, the exchange of excitations between two subpopulations proceeds in such a way that their collective phases are governed by an expanding circle map similar to the Bernoulli map. We perform the Lyapunov analysis of the dynamics and discuss finite-size effects.     

Critical behavior in a model of correlated percolation

We study the critical behavior of certain two-parameter families of correlated percolation models related to the Ising model on the triangular and square lattices, respectively. These percolation models can be considered as interpolating between the percolation model given by the + and – clusters and the Fortuin-Kasteleyn correlated percolation model associated to the Ising model. We find numerically on both lattices a two-dimensional critical region in which the expected cluster size diverges, yet there is no percolation.

Evaluating the dynamical coupling between spatiotemporally chaotic signals via an information theory approach

An information-theoretic measure is introduced for evaluating the dynamical coupling of spatiotemporally chaotic signals produced by extended systems. The measure of the one-way coupled map lattices and the one-dimensional, homogeneous, diffusively coupled map lattices is computed with the symbolic analysis method. The numerical results show that the information measure is applicable to determining the dynamical coupling between two directly coupled or indirectly coupled chaotic signals.

Metastability and functional integration in anisotropically coupled map lattices

Metastability is a property of systems composed of many interacting parts wherein the parts exhibit simultaneously a tendency to function autonomously (local segregation) and a tendency to cooperate (global integration). We study anisotropically coupled map lattices and discover that for specific values of the coupling control parameters the entire system transits to a metastable regime. We show that this regime manifests a quasi-stable state in which the system can flexibly switch to another such state. We briefly discuss the relevance of our findings for information processing, functional integration, metastability in the brain, and phase transitions in complex systems.
