Omega-limit sets and invariant chaos in dimension one

Omega-limit sets play an important role in one-dimensional dynamics. During last fifty year at least three definitions of basic set has appeared. Authors often use results with different definition. Here we fill in the gap of missing proof of equivalency of these definitions. Using results on basic sets we generalize results in paper [P. Oprocha, Invariant scrambled sets and distributional chaos, Dyn. Syst. 24 (2009), no. 1, 31–43.] to the case continuous maps of finite graphs. The Li-Yorke chaos is weaker than positive topological entropy. The equivalency arises when we add condition of invariance to Li-Yorke scrambled set. In this note we show that for a continuous graph map properties positive topological entropy; horseshoe; invariant Li-Yorke scrambled set; uniform invariant distributional chaotic scrambled set and distributionaly chaotic pair are mutually equivalent.     

关于连续区间映射的敏感依赖性

首先证明:若区间映射f是敏感依赖的,则f的拓扑熵ent(f)>0.然后通过引入一种扩张映射进一步证明了敏感依赖的区间映射的拓扑熵的下确界为0,即,上式中拓扑熵的下界0是最优的.最后通过实例展示稠混沌、Spatio-temporal混沌、Li-Yorke敏感及敏感性之间是几乎互不蕴含的.     

Chaos of time-varying discrete dynamical systems

This paper is concerned with chaos of time-varying (i.e. non-autonomous) discrete systems in metric spaces. Some basic concepts are introduced for general time-varying systems, including periodic point, coupled-expansion for transitive matrix, uniformly topological equiconjugacy, and three definitions of chaos, i.e. chaos in the sense of Devaney and Wiggins, respectively, and in a strong sense of Li–Yorke. An interesting observation is that a finite-dimensional linear time-varying system can be chaotic in the original sense of Li–Yorke, but cannot have chaos in the strong sense of Li–Yorke, nor in the sense of Devaney in a set containing infinitely many points, and nor in the sense of Wiggins in a set starting from which all the orbits are bounded. A criterion of chaos in the original sense of Li–Yorke is established for finite-dimensional linear time-varying systems. Some basic properties of topological conjugacy are discussed. In particular, it is shown that topological conjugacy alone cannot guarantee two topologically conjugate time-varying systems to have the same topological properties in general. In addition, a criterion of chaos induced by strict coupled-expansion for a certain irreducible transitive matrix is established, under which the corresponding nonlinear system is proved chaotic in the strong sense of Li–Yorke. Two illustrative examples are finally provided with computer simulations for illustration.     

Li–Yorke chaos and synchronous chaos in a globally nonlocal coupled map lattice

This paper investigates a globally nonlocal coupled map lattice. A rigorous proof to the existence of chaos in the scene of Li–Yorke in that system is presented in terms of the Marotto theorem. Analytical sufficient conditions under which the system is chaotic, and has synchronous behaviors are determined, respectively. The wider regions associated with chaos and synchronous behaviors are shown by simulations. Spatiotemporal chaos, synchronous chaos and some other synchronous behaviors such as fixed points, 2-cycles and 2²-cycles are also shown by simulations for some values of the parameters.     

Entropy,Chaos, and Weak Horseshoe for Infinite‐Dimensional Random Dynamical Systems

In this paper, we study the complicated dynamics of infinite‐dimensional random dynamical systems that include deterministic dynamical systems as their special cases in a Polish space. Without assuming any hyperbolicity, we prove if a continuous random map has a positive topological entropy, then it contains a topological horseshoe. We also show that the positive topological entropy implies the chaos in the sense of Li‐Yorke. The complicated behavior exhibited here is induced by the positive entropy but not the randomness of the system.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A note on distributional chaos with respect to a sequence

The aim of this note is to use methods developed by Kuratowski and Mycielski to prove that some more common notions in topological dynamics imply distributional chaos with respect to a sequence. In particular, we show that the notion of distributional chaos with respect to a sequence is only slightly stronger than the definition of chaos due to Li and Yorke. Namely, positive topological entropy and weak mixing both imply distributional chaos with respect to a sequence, which is not the case for distributional chaos as introduced by Schweizer and Smítal.     

Is prediction possible? Chaotic behavior of Multiple Equilibria Regulation Model in cellular automata topology

In this article, we present the Multiple Equilibria Regulation (MER) Model in cellular automata topology. As argued in previous explorations of the model, for certain parameter values, the behavior of the system exhibits transient chaos (namely, the system is unpredictable but ends in a final steady state). In order to approach empirical reality, we introduce a cellular automata topology. Examining the outcome of the simulations leads us to conclude that for certain parameter values tested, the system yields chaotic behavior. Thus, cellular automata contribution has proven crucial, because the introduced topology converts the behavior of the system from transient chaos to “pure” chaos, i.e., the system is not only unpredictable on the long run but, in addition, it will never rest in a final steady state. According to these findings, authors argue the theoretical hypothesis that the urge for “prediction” in social sciences should be reconsidered in terms of “predictability horizon”. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Chaotic invariant sets of a delayed discrete neural network of two non-identical neurons

In this paper, we show that a delayed discrete Hopfield neural network of two nonidentical neurons with no self-connections can demonstrate chaotic behavior in a region away from the origin. To this end, we first transform the model, by a novel way, into an equivalent system which enjoys some nice properties. Then, we identify a chaotic invariant set for this system and show that the system within this set is topologically conjugate to the full shift map on two symbols. This confirms chaos in the sense of Devaney. Our main result is complementary to the results in Kaslik and Balint (2008) and Huang and Zou (2005), where it was shown that chaos may occur in neighborhoods of the origin for the same system. We also present some numeric simulations to demonstrate our theoretical results.     

How to minimize the control frequency to sustain transient chaos using partial control

In any control problem it is desirable to apply the control as infrequently as possible. In this paper we address the problem of how to minimize the frequency of control in presence of external perturbations, that we call disturbances, when the goal is to sustain transient chaos. We show here that the partial control method, that allows to find the minimum control required to sustain transient chaos in presence of disturbances, is the key to find such minimum control frequency. We prove first for the paradigmatic tent map of slope greater than 2 that for a constant value of the disturbances, the control required to sustain transient chaos decreases when the control is applied every k iterates of the map. We show that the combination of this property with the fact that the disturbances grow with k implies that there is a minimum control frequency and we provide a procedure to compute it. Finally we give evidence of the generality of this result showing that the same features are reproduced when considering the Hénon map.     

Coherence properties of cycling chaos

Cycling chaos is a heteroclinic connection between several chaotic attractors, at which switchings between the chaotic sets occur at growing time intervals. Here we characterize the coherence properties of these switchings, considering nearly periodic regimes that appear close to the cycling chaos due to imperfections or to instability. Using numerical simulations of coupled Lorenz, Roessler, and logistic map models, we show that the coherence is high in the case of imperfection (so that asymptotically the cycling chaos is very regular), while it is low close to instability of the cycling chaos.     

Categories of chaos and fractal basin boundaries in forced predator–prey models

Biological communities are affected by perturbations that frequently occur in a more-or-less periodic fashion. In this communication we use the circle map to summarize the dynamics of one such community – the periodically forced Lotka–Volterra predator–prey system. As might be expected, we show that the latter system generates a classic devil's staircase and Arnold tongues, similar to that found from a qualitative analysis of the circle map. The circle map has other subtle features that make it useful for explaining the two qualitatively distinct forms of chaos recently noted in numerical studies of the forced Lotka–Volterra system. In the regions of overlapping tongues, coexisting attractors may be found in the Lotka–Volterra system, including at least one example of three alternative attractors, the separatrices of which are fractal and, in one specific case, Wada. The analysis is extended to a periodically forced tritrophic foodweb model that is chaotic. Interestingly, mode-locking Arnold tongue structures are observed in the model’s phase dynamics even though the foodweb equations are chaotic.     

一类一维混沌映射的拓扑条件

20世纪中期以来,人们在物理、天文、气象等领域中发现了大量的混沌现象.这些新发现引发了近几十年来对混沌现象的研究.由于它的困难程度和在解决实际问题中的巨大价值,对混沌现象的研究成为动力系统乃至数学中的一个长期的前沿和热点研究方向.混沌现象最本质的特征是初值敏感性,保证有初值敏感性的一个充分条件是系统具有正Lyapunov指数.因此研究系统是否具有正Lyapunov指数成为研究系统是否出现混沌的重要方法.从拓扑角度给出了一类一维映射出现混沌现象的充分条件.从拓扑的角度来研究,将加深对此类映射出现混沌的机理的认识.研究此类映射,最重要的是研究临界点、临界点轨道及它们的相互关系.我们采用临界点的逆像建立拓扑工具,使用这一拓扑工具分析临界点轨道与临界点的复杂关系,研究临界点逆轨道的运动形态、相应开集的拓扑特征,进而导出系统出现混沌的拓扑特征及它与Lyapunov指数之间的关系.     

A Devaney Chaotic System Which Is Neither Distributively nor Topologically Chaotic

Weiss proved that Devaney chaos does not imply topological chaos and Oprocha pointed out that Devaney chaos does not imply distributional chaos. In this paper, by constructing a simple example which is Devaney chaotic but neither distributively nor topologically chaotic, we give a unified proof for the results of Weiss and Oprocha.     

DC3 and Li–Yorke chaos

There are three versions of distributional chaos, namely DC1, DC2 and DC3. By using an example of constant-length substitution system, we show that DC3 need not imply Li–Yorke chaos. (In this paper, chaos means the existence of an uncountable scrambled set of the corresponding type, while the existing example only deals with a single pair of points.)

Neimark-Sacker bifurcation and chaos control in Hassell-Varley model

We investigate the complex behaviour of a modified Nicholson–Bailey model. The modification is proposed by Hassel and Varley taking into account that interaction between parasitoids is taken in such a way that the searching area per parasitoid is inversely proportional to the m-th power of the population density of parasitoids. Under certain parametric conditions the unique positive equilibrium point of system is locally asymptotically stable. Moreover, it is proved that system undergoes Neimark-Sacker bifurcation for small range of parameters by using standard mathematical techniques of bifurcation theory. In order to control Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, we apply simple feedback control strategy and pole-placement technique which is a modification of OGY method. Moreover, the hybrid control methodology is also implemented for chaos controlling. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate theoretical discussion.

We consider the dynamics of a two-dimensional map proposed by Maynard Smith as a population model. The existence of chaos in the sense of Marotto‘s theorem is first proved, and the bifurcations of periodic points are studied by analytic methods. The numerical simulations not only show the consistence with the theoretical analysis but also exhibi the complex dynamical behaviors.
