准周期激励Duffing系统中奇异非混沌吸引子的判别方法

奇异非混沌动力学是非线性动力学领域中的新课题。本文以准周期激励Duffing振子为例,对其产生的奇异非混沌吸引子(strange nonchaotic attractors, SNAs)进行分析。通过三维庞加莱截面和定量方法如傅里叶变换、李雅普诺夫指数、李雅普诺夫维数、关联维数和盒维数检测SNAs是否存在。研究结果表明,傅里叶变换无法判断混沌与奇异非混沌行为。而李雅普诺夫指数、李雅普诺夫维数可以作为检测系统混沌与非混沌指标。关联维数和盒维数显著表明系统奇异与非奇异性,从而阐明适用于准周期驱动Duffing振子中存在SNAs的判别方法,并为其他类似系统检测SNAs提供指导。     

Temporal Dynamics of Brain Activity in Human Memory Processes

We propose a line of study by which Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI) can be used together with nonlinear dynamics concepts as a medium for the study of brain organization. The concentration is on (a) the complex behavior of elementary neural circuits, and how they interact over brief spans of time to produce cognition and memory; and (b) the change in circuit patterns associated with aging. The method of orbital decomposition appears to be ideally suited for these objectives and for determining how they integrate into hierarchical processes. The adapted procedure begins with a 3-D FMRI matrix of metabolic activity. Recurring patterns within a matrix row are identified and matched across rows and across depth slices. These hierarchical patterns are then compared over time for further recurrences. The computational procedure identifies the optimal pattern length over time, the patterns, and the largest Lyapunov for the system of patterns. Computations are assisted by statistical tests for the extent to which the isolated patterns represent the underlying data.     

Characterization of Measures Satisfying the Pesin Entropy Formula for Random Dynamical Systems

In this paper we first give a formulation of SRB (Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen) property for invariant measures of stationary random dynamical systems and then prove that this property is sufficient and necessary for a formula of Pesin's type relating entropy and Lyapunov exponents of such dynamical systems. This result is a random version of the main result in Part I of Ledrappier and Young's celebrated paper [11].     

A method for calculating the lyapunov exponent spectrum of a periodically excited non-autonomous dynamical system

The relation between the Lyapunov exponent spectrum of a periodically excited non-autonomous dynamical system and the Lyapunov exponent spectrum of the corresponding autonomous system is given and the validity of the relation is verified theoretically and computationally. A direct method for calculating the Lyapunov exponent spectrum of non-autonomous dynamical systems is suggested in this paper, which makes it more convenient to calculate the Lyapunov exponent spectrum of the dynamical system periodically excited. Following the definition of the Lyapunov dimensionD _L ^(A) of the autonomous system, the definition of the Lyapunov dimensionD _L of the non-autonomous dynamical system is also given, and the difference between them is the integer 1, namely,D _L ^(A) −D_L=1. For a quasi-periodically excited dynamical system, similar conclusions are formed.

Double-mode modeling of chaotic and bifurcation dynamics for a simply supported rectangular plate in large deflection

This paper presents a new approach to characterize the conditions that can possibly lead to chaotic motion for a simply supported large deflection rectangular plate by utilizing the criteria of the fractal dimension and the maximum Lyapunov exponent. The governing partial differential equation of the simply supported rectangular plate is first derived and simplified to a set of two ordinary differential equations by the Galerkin method. Several different features including Fourier spectra, state-space plot, Poinca?e map and bifurcation diagram are then numerically computed by using a double-mode approach. These features are used to characterize the dynamic behavior of the plate subjected to various excitation conditions. Numerical examples are presented to verify the validity of the conditions that lead to chaotic motion and the effectiveness of the proposed modeling approach. The numerical results indicate that large deflection motion of a rectangular plate possesses many bifurcation points, two different chaotic motions and some jump phenomena under various lateral loading. The results of numerical simulation indicate that the computed bifurcation points can lead to either a transcritical bifurcation or a pitchfork bifurcation for the motion of a large deflection rectangular plate. Meanwhile, the points of pitchfork bifurcation can gradually lead to chaotic motion in some specific loading conditions. The modeling result thus obtained by using the method proposed in this paper can be employed to predict the instability induced by the dynamics of a large deflection plate.     

On the Trajectory Method for the Reconstruction of Differential Equations from Time Series

This work investigates the trajectory method [1] for thereconstruction of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) from timeseries. The potentials of the method are analyzed for dynamical systemsdescribed by second- and third-order ODEs, focusing in particular on therole of the parameters of the method and on the influence of the qualityof the time series in terms of noise, length and sampling frequency.Typical models are investigated, such as the van der Pol, the linearmechanical, the Duffing and the Rössler equations, resulting in arobust and versatile method which is capable of allowing interestingapplications to experimental cases. The method is then applied to themeasured time series of a nonlinear mechanical oscillator, a typicalvelocity oscillation of the bursting phenomenon in near-wall turbulenceand the averaged annual evolution of rainfall, temperature andstreamflow over a hydrological basin.
