Characterization and control of chaotic dynamics in a nerve conduction model equation

In this paper we consider the Bonhoeffer-van der Pol (BVP) equation which describes propagation of nerve pulses in a neural membrane, and characterize the chaotic attractor at various bifurcations, and the probability distribution associated with weak and strong chaos. We illustrate control of chaos in the BVP equation by the Ott-Grebogi-Yorke method as well as through a periodic instantaneous burst.     

Analogy between the Lorenz strange attractor and a bistable stochastic oscillator

The relation between the aperiodic solution of the Lorenz model and that of a stochastic anharmonic oscillator is explored. The stochastic oscillator is constructed by replacing (t) in the Lorenz model by a stochastic variable(t) of specified statistics. The resulting system is of course not isomorphic to the Lorenz model, but does share with it a number of statistical properties. Thus, within the confines of these measures the two systems are physically very similar.

Controlling of chaos by weak periodic perturbations in Duffing-van der Pol oscillator

This paper investigates the possibility of controlling horseshoe and asymptotic chaos in the Duffing-van der Pol oscillator by both periodic parametric perturbation and addition of second periodic force. Using Melnikov method the effect of weak perturbations on horseshoe chaos is studied. Parametric regimes where suppression of horseshoe occurs are predicted. Analytical predictions are demonstrated through direct numerical simulations. Starting from asymptotic chaos we show the recovery of periodic motion for a range of values of amplitude and frequency of the periodic perturbations. Interestingly, suppression of chaos is found in the parametric regimes where the Melnikov function does not change sign.     

A flux-controlled model of meminductor and its application in chaotic oscillator

A meminductor is a new type of memory device developed from the memristor.We present a mathematical model of a flux-controlled meminductor and its equivalent circuit model for exploring the properties of the meminductor in a nonlinear circuit.We explore the response characteristics of the meminductor under the exciting signals of sinusoidal,square,and triangular waves by using theoretical analysis and experimental tests,and design a meminductor-based oscillator based on the model.Theoretical analysis and experiments show that the meminductor-based oscillator possesses complex bifurcation behaviors and can generate periodic and chaotic oscillations.A special phenomenon called the co-existent oscillation that can generate multiple oscillations(such as chaotic,periodic oscillations as well as stable equilibrium) with the same parameters and different initial conditions occurs.We also design an analog circuit to realize the meminductor-based oscillator,and the circuit experiment results are in accordance with the theory analysis.     

On bifurcations inducing a strange attractor in the system of A. M. Oboukhov

The paper contains a numerical study of qualitative properties of motion in a dynamical system modeling a turbulent flow. It shows that after four bifurcations related to a growing active force there appears a strange attractor in the system and the motion becomes stochastic.     

Memcapacitor model and its application in a chaotic oscillator

A memcapacitor is a new type of memory capacitor. Before the advent of practical memcapacitor, the prospective studies on its models and potential applications are of importance. For this purpose, we establish a mathematical memcapacitor model and a corresponding circuit model. As a potential application, based on the model, a memcapacitor oscillator is designed, with its basic dynamic characteristics analyzed theoretically and experimentally. Some circuit variables such as charge, flux, and integral of charge, which are difficult to measure, are observed and measured via simulations and experiments. Analysis results show that besides the typical period-doubling bifurcations and period-3 windows, sustained chaos with constant Lyapunov exponents occurs. Moreover, this oscillator also exhibits abrupt chaos and some novel bifurcations.In addition, based on the digital signal processing(DSP) technology, a scheme of digitally realizing this memcapacitor oscillator is provided. Then the statistical properties of the chaotic sequences generated from the oscillator are tested by using the test suit of the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST). The tested randomness definitely reaches the standards of NIST, and is better than that of the well-known Lorenz system.

Bifurcation,chaotic phenomena and control of chaos in a one—dimensional discrete Josephson lattice

We have investigated the fluxon dynamical behaviour in a one-dimensional parallel array of small Josephson junctions in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field. In the case of high damping,the system is in stable state. On the contrary, in the case of low damping, bifurcation and chaotic phenomena have been observed. Control of chaos is achieved by a delayed feedback mechanism, which drives the chaotic system into a selected unstable periodic orbit embadded within the associated strange attractor. It is attractive to control chaos to a periodic state, rather than operating always outside the device parameter space where chaos dominates.

Information entropic measures of a quantum harmonic oscillator in symmetric and asymmetric confinement within an impenetrable box

Information‐based uncertainty measures like Shannon entropy, Onicescu energy and Fisher information (in position and momentum space) are employed to understand the effect of symmetric and asymmetric confinement in a quantum harmonic oscillator. Also, the transformation of the Hamiltonian into a dimensionless form gives an idea of the composite effect of force constant and confinement length (x_c). In the symmetric case, a wide range of x_c has been taken up, whereas asymmetric confinement is dealt with by shifting the minimum of the potential from the origin keeping box length and boundary fixed. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors for these systems are obtained quite accurately via an imaginary‐time propagation scheme. For asymmetric confinement, a variation‐induced exact diagonalization procedure is also introduced, which produces very high quality results. One finds that, in symmetric confinement, after a certain characteristic x_c, all these properties converge to respective values of a free harmonic oscillator. In the asymmetric situation, excited‐state energies always pass through a maximum. For this potential, the classical turning point decreases, whereas well depth increases with the strength of asymmetry. A study of these uncertainty measures reveals that localization increases with an increase of the asymmetry parameter.

     

Phase locking and chaotic synchronization in an array of three lasers

A linear array of three lasers that are coupled mutually in space is investigated. It is shown that the phase of the laser fields is locked with intermediate coupling while the laser intensities are totally chaotic and chaotically synchronized. When the intensities of lasers reenter the regime of chaotic synchronization at smaller coupling constant, the laser fields show low degree of phase locking. The phase differences in the fields between three lasers show rich patterns when the coupling is changed. Received 3 August 2001 and Received in final form 27 September 2001
