Synchronization of reconstructed dynamical systems

The problem of constructing synchronizing systems to observed signals is approached from a data driven perspective, in which it is assumed that neither the drive nor the response systems are known explicitly but have to be derived from the observations. The response systems are modeled by utilizing standard methods of nonlinear time series analysis applied to sections of the driving signals. As a result, synchronization is more robust than what might be expected, given that the reconstructed systems are only approximations of the unknown true systems. Successful synchronization also may be accomplished in cases where the driving signals result from nonlinearly transformed chaotic states. The method is readily extended and applied to limited real-time predictions of chaotic signals.     

低维非线性系统的一般多线性变量分离方法和局域激发模式

基于Bcklund变换的多线性变量分离方法(BT-MLVSA)是求解非线性系统的一种非常有效的方法. 一般多线性变量分离方法(GMLVSA)是该方法的推广. 实现GMLVSA主要有四种途径，一是先把场量按照多个任意函数(通常考虑两个函数的情形)展开得到关于多个函数的多线性方程，另一种途径是推广变量分离的假设，第三类是基于Darboux变换的多线性变量分离方法(DT-MLVSA)，第四类是导数相关泛函变量分离法. 利用第一类GMLVSA，可以得到(2+1)维mNNV系统和sine-Gordon系统的一般多线性变量分离解. 把第一类GMLVSA推广到二维非线性系统，这些系统是通过对称约化(2+1)维sine-Gordon.系统得到的. 也就是说，一般多线性变量分离可解性在对称约化下从高维系统到低维系统得到了保持. 这也提供了一条从高维非线性系统导出可GMLVSA求解的低维非线性系统的有效途径. 关键词： Bcklund变换 多线性变量分离 sine-Gordon系统 对称约化     

Wavelength modulation absorption spectrometry from optically pumped collision broadened atoms and molecules

A theoretical investigation of the influence of optical pumping on wavelength modulation absorption spectrometry (WMAS) signals from collision broadened atoms and molecules is presented. General expressions for the nf-WMAS signal from atomic and molecular systems, modeled as three-level systems that can accommodate both optical saturation and optical pumping, are derived by the use of a previously developed Fourier series-based formalism in combination with rate equations solved under steady-state conditions. The expressions are similar to those describing the nf-WMAS signal from two-level systems that can accommodate optical saturation [Schmidt FM, Foltynowicz A, Gustafsson J, Axner O, WMAS from optically saturated collision-broadened transitions. JQSRT 2005;94:225-54], the difference being the value of the saturation flux, wherefore the general parametric dependence of WMAS signals from optically pumped systems is the same as that from optically saturated systems. The additional effect of optical pumping on the WMAS signal is investigated for three typical cases: molecules or atoms in an ordinary atmosphere, atoms in an inert atmosphere, and atoms or molecules possessing metastable states. The possibility to describe any of these systems with a two-level model is investigated.     

Multimode lasers as analogs of complex biological systems (a survey)

Simulating the activity of complex biological systems, in particular, the human brain, is a topical problem the solution of which is necessary both for understanding their functioning and for developing new classes of computational system based on operating principles of the brain. Some features and analogies that can be found in the operation of laser systems and brain and used for developing new generation computational systems are discussed. The appropriateness of such analogies is justified by the fact that both laser systems and the brain are open (interacting with the environment) dissipative spatially distributed nonlinear systems. Therefore, laser optical systems and, in particular, systems with dissipative optical solitons offer an opportunity to experimentally and theoretically model some important cognitive brain functions. One of particularities of the brain operation is the ability to manipulate images. Proceeding from this, in this work, problems related to generation and amplification with laser of spatial structures (images), as well as to amplification of signals coming to it from outside are discussed.     

Hyperchaos--chaos--Hyperchaos Transition in a Class of On--Off Intermittent Systems Driven by a Family of Generalized Lorenz Systems

Blowout bifurcation in nonlinear systems occurs when a chaotic attractor lying in some symmetric subspace becomes transversely unstable. A class of five-dimensional continuous autonomous systems is considered, in which a two-dimensional subsystem is driven by a family of generalized Lorenz systems. The systems have some common dynamical characters. As the coupling parameter changes, blowout bifurcations occur in these systems and brings on change of the systems＇ dynamics. After the bifurcation the phenomenon of on-off intermittency appears. It is observed that the systems undergo a symmetric hyperchaos-chaos-hyperchaos transition via or after blowout bifurcations. An example of the systems is given, in which the drive system is the Chen system. We investigate the dynamical behaviour before and after the blowout bifurcation in the systems and make an analysis of the transition process. It is shown that in such coupled chaotic continuous systems, blowout bifurcation leads to a transition from chaos to hyperchaos for the whole systems, which provides a route to hyperchaos.     

Generalized analytical solutions for certain coupled simple chaotic systems

We present a generalized analytical solution to the normalized state equations of a class of coupled simple secondorder non-autonomous circuit systems. The analytical solutions thus obtained are used to study the synchronization dynamics of two different types of circuit systems, differing only by their constituting nonlinear element. The synchronization dynamics of the coupled systems is studied through two-parameter bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits, and time-series plots obtained from the explicit analytical solutions. Experimental figures are presented to substantiate the analytical results. The generalization of the analytical solution for other types of coupled simple chaotic systems is discussed. The synchronization dynamics of the coupled chaotic systems studied through two-parameter bifurcation diagrams obtained from the explicit analytical solutions is reported for the first time.     

Dynamical systems and complex systems theory to study unsteady combustion

Reacting flow fields are often subject to unsteadiness due to flow, reaction, diffusion, and acoustics. Further, flames can also exhibit inherent unsteadiness caused by various intrinsic instabilities. Interaction between various unsteady processes across multiple scales often makes combustion dynamics complex. Characterizing such complex dynamics is essential to ensure the safe and reliable operation of high efficiency combustion systems. Tools from nonlinear dynamics and complex systems theory provide new perspectives to analyze and interpret the data from real systems. They could also provide new ways of monitoring and controlling combustion systems. We discuss recent advances in studying unsteady combustion dynamics using the tools from dynamical systems theory and complex systems theory. We cover a range of problems involving unsteady combustion such as thermoacoustic instability, flame blowout, fire propagation, reaction chemistry and flow flame interaction.     

Entanglement reciprocation between qubits and continuous variables

We investigate how entanglement can be transferred between qubits and continuous-variable (CV) systems. We find that one ebit borne in maximally entangled qubits can be fully transferred to two CV systems which are initially prepared in a pure separable Gaussian field with high excitation. We show that it is possible to retrieve the entanglement back to qubits from the entangled CV systems. The deposition of multiple ebits from qubits to the initially separable CV systems is also pointed out. We show that the entanglement transfer and retrieval are done at a quasisteady state.

Recovery of delay time from time series based on the nearest neighbor method

We propose a method for the recovery of delay time from time series of time-delay systems. The method is based on the nearest neighbor analysis. The method allows one to reconstruct delays in various classes of time-delay systems including systems of high order, systems with several coexisting delays, and nonscalar time-delay systems. It can be applied to time series heavily corrupted by additive and dynamical noise.     

A possible human counterpart of the principle of increasing entropy

It is well-known that the principle of increasing entropy holds for isolated natural systems that contain non-adaptive molecules. Here we present, for the first time, an experimental evidence for a possible human counterpart of the principle in an isolated social system that involves adaptive humans. Our work shows that the human counterpart is valid even though interactions among humans in social systems are distinctly different from those among molecules in natural systems. Thus, it becomes possible to understand social systems from this natural principle, at least to some extent.     

Factorizations of one-dimensional classical systems

A class of one-dimensional classical systems is characterized from an algebraic point of view. The Hamiltonians of these systems are factorized in terms of two functions that together with the Hamiltonian itself close a Poisson algebra. These two functions lead directly to two time-dependent integrals of motion from which the phase motions are derived algebraically. The systems so obtained constitute the classical analogues of the well known factorizable one-dimensional quantum mechanical systems.     

Mei symmetry and generalized Hojman conserved quantity for variable mass systems with unilateral holonomic constraints

This paper studies Mei symmetry which leads to a generalized Hojman conserved quantity for variable mass systems with unilateral holonomic constraints. The differential equations of motion for the systems are established, the definition and criterion of the Mei symmetry for the systems are given. The necessary and sufficient condition under which the Mei symmetry is a Lie symmetry for the systems is obtained and a generalized Hojman conserved quantity deduced from the Mei symmetry is got. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Gravitational radiation of isolated systems

The gravitational radiation of isolated systems is studied by introducing a class of reference systems that is the analog of the class of inertial systems in flat space. Expressions for the total energy of these systems and the flux of gravitational radiation are obtained. The fundamental role of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs asymptotic symmetry groups in the general theory of relativity is explained; transformations of the group characterize transitions from one reference system of a given class to another.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 47–54, November, 1973.     

Giant resonances in exotic nuclear systems: What we expect and what we know

The characteristic features of γ-rays resulting from the decay of the Giant Dipole Resonance in very deformed, hot systems and in systems with a large isospin are discussed. For both cases there are recent theoretical predictions but very few if any data. With respect to hot, deformed systems it is argued that the discrepancy which exists between the measured and calculated asymmetry of the GDR γ-rays emitted in the fusion-fission process of hot actinide nuclei, might well be due to γ-emission during the saddle-to-scission stage of the fission process, that is from very deformed hot nuclear systems. The prospect of studying experimentally the behavior of Giant Resonances in systems with large isospin (=large neutron excess) is also discussed. Experiments on the GDR are feasible and will give information on the deformation of the emitting system.     

Fibre optical communications within the United Kingdom

Interest in fibre-optic communication systems was aroused by Kao and Hockham in 1966. This survey endeavours to relate how the concept has grown within the United Kingdom from that inception. The work is reviewed from the standpoint of a systems engineer, but briefly covers the components vital to fibre-optic communication systems and mentions the more fundamental studies on which all other aspects have been based.     

Mixing and Segregation in Multi‐component Liquid Fluidized Beds

The mechanism causing mixing and segregation of multi‐component fluidized systems consisting of both density and size variant particle mixtures is presented. The validity of the model is demonstrated with the experimental results of three‐component (ternary) liquid fluidized systems. Ternary bed fluidized systems separated into different mixed layers and a pure layer of excess component. Location of the stratified mixed layers and pure layer can be predicted from the mixture bulk density evaluation. The volume fractions of solids and fluid corresponding to each mixed layer can be theoretically predicted from the force balance applied to the particles in that layer knowing the systems physical properties.

Transition state theory: A generalization to nonequilibrium systems with power-law distributions

Transition state theory (TST) is generalized to nonequilibrium systems with power-law distributions. The stochastic dynamics that gives rise to the power-law distributions for the reaction coordinate and momentum is modeled by Langevin equations and corresponding Fokker-Planck equations. It is considered that a system far away from equilibrium does not have to relax to a thermal equilibrium state with Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution, but asymptotically approaches a nonequilibrium stationary state with a power-law distribution. Thus, we obtain a possible generalization of TST rates to nonequilibrium systems with power-law distributions. Furthermore, we derive the generalized TST rate constants for one-dimensional and n-dimensional Hamiltonian systems away from equilibrium, and obtain a generalized Arrhenius rate for systems with power-law distributions.
