Chaotic boundary of a Hamiltonial map

The half-plane maps are a class of complex Hamiltonial maps whose invariant curves at most fixed irrational frequencies can be obtained as a convergent Taylor series expansion. For these maps the boundary between regular ordered motion on invariant curves and irregular chaotic motion is given by the radius of convergence of the series. The successive terms of the series oscillate wildly, due to the presence of small divisors. Methods are presented for taming the series, based on the conversion of the convergenceexponentC = -lnα_c into the integral of a continuous but nondifferentiable lambda function, whose graph whows a similarity structure on small scales. Self-similarity properties are illustrated for the chaotic boundary function α_c, where v is the frequency.     

Nodal domain statistics for quantum maps, percolation, and stochastic Loewner evolution

We develop a percolation model for nodal domains in the eigenvectors of quantum chaotic torus maps. Our model follows directly from the assumption that the quantum maps are described by random matrix theory. Its accuracy in predicting statistical properties of the nodal domains is demonstrated for perturbed cat maps and supports the use of percolation theory to describe the wave functions of general Hamiltonian systems. We also demonstrate that the nodal domains of the perturbed cat maps obey the Cardy crossing formula and find evidence that the boundaries of the nodal domains are described by stochastic Loewner evolution with diffusion constant close to the expected value of 6, suggesting that quantum chaotic wave functions may exhibit conformal invariance in the semiclassical limit.     

Coupling sensitivity of chaos and the Lyapunov dimension: The case of coupled two-dimensional maps

We numerically investigate the response of spectra of the Lyapunov exponents in chaotic two-dimensional (2-d) maps to perturbations generated by coupling two such maps. The results reveal the coupling sensitivity of chaos, which was discovered previously in coupled 1-d maps, with a number of features some of which are inherent in higher-dimensional systems. In particular, the Lyapunov dimension of a strange attractor is also found to be strongly sensitive to coupling perturbations. Our results suggest a new quantity characterizing chaos, χ_coup, which measures the strength of the coupling sensitivity.     

Boundary crisis and transient in a dissipative relativistic standard map

Some dynamical properties for a problem concerning the acceleration of particles in a wave packet are studied. The model is described in terms of a two-dimensional nonlinear map obtained from a Hamiltonian which describes the motion of a relativistic standard map. The phase space is mixed in the sense that there are regular and chaotic regions coexisting. When dissipation is introduced, the property of area preservation is broken and attractors emerge. We have shown that a tiny increase of the dissipation causes a change in the phase space. A chaotic attractor as well as its basin of attraction are destroyed thereby leading the system to experience a boundary crisis. We have characterized such a boundary crisis via a collision of the chaotic attractor with the stable manifold of a saddle fixed point. Once the chaotic attractor is destroyed, a chaotic transient described by a power law with exponent −1 is observed.     

Fluctuational transitions through a fractal basin boundary

Fluctuational transitions between two coexisting chaotic attractors, separated by a fractal basin boundary, are studied in a discrete dynamical system. It is shown that the transition mechanism is determined by a hierarchy of homoclinic points. The most probable escape path from a chaotic attractor to the fractal boundary is found using both statistical analyses of fluctuational trajectories and the Hamiltonian theory of fluctuations.     

Escaping from nonhyperbolic chaotic attractors

The noise-induced escape process from a nonhyperbolic chaotic attractor is of physical and fundamental importance. We address this problem by uncovering the general mechanism of escape in the relevant low noise limit using the Hamiltonian theory of large fluctuations and by establishing the crucial role of the primary homoclinic tangency closest to the basin boundary in the dynamical process. In order to demonstrate that, we provide an unambiguous solution of the variational equations from the Hamiltonian theory. Our results are substantiated with the help of physical and dynamical paradigms, such as the Hénon and the Ikeda maps. It is further pointed out that our findings should be valid for driven flow systems and for experimental data.

Nonextensivity at the edge of chaos of a new universality class of one-dimensional unimodal dissipative maps

We introduce a new universality class of one-dimensional unimodal dissipative maps. The new family, from now on referred to as the (z₁, z₂)-logarithmic map, corresponds to a generalization of the z-logistic map. The Feigenbaum-like constants of these maps are determined. It has been recently shown that the probability density of sums of iterates at the edge of chaos of the z-logistic map is numerically consistent with a q-Gaussian, the distribution which, under appropriate constraints, optimizes the nonadditive entropy S_q. We focus here on the presently generalized maps to check whether they constitute a new universality class with regard to q-Gaussian attractor distributions. We also study the generalized q-entropy production per unit time on the new unimodal dissipative maps, both for strong and weak chaotic cases. The q-sensitivity indices are obtained as well. Our results are, like those for the z-logistic maps, numerically compatible with the q-generalization of a Pesin-like identity for ensemble averages.     

Generalized synchronization between different chaotic maps via dead-beat control

This paper presents a new scheme to achieve generalized synchronization(GS) between different discrete-time chaotic(hyperchaotic) systems.The approach is based on a theorem,which assures that GS is achieved when a structural condition on the considered class of response systems is satisfied.The method presents some useful features:it enables exact GS to be achieved in finite time(i.e.,dead-beat synchronization);it is rigorous,systematic,and straightforward in checking GS;it can be applied to a wide class of chaotic maps.Some examples of GS,including the Grassi-Miller map and a recently introduced minimal 2-D quadratic map,are illustrated.     

A novel scheme for image encryption based on 2D piecewise chaotic maps

In this paper, a hierarchy of two-dimensional piecewise nonlinear chaotic maps with an invariant measure is introduced. These maps have interesting features such as invariant measure, ergodicity and the possibility of K-S entropy calculation. Then by using significant properties of these chaotic maps such as ergodicity, sensitivity to initial condition and control parameter, one-way computation and random like behavior, we present a new scheme for image encryption. Based on all analysis and experimental results, it can be concluded that, this scheme is efficient, practicable and reliable, with high potential to be adopted for network security and secure communications. Although the two-dimensional piecewise nonlinear chaotic maps presented in this paper aims at image encryption, it is not just limited to this area and can be widely applied in other information security fields.

The proto Bhalekar–Gejji system

Recently construction of new chaotic attractors for various design demands has drawn much attention. This paper provides a complete construction of a new chaotic attractor, called proto Bhalekar–Gejji (B–G) system. This proto B–G system is a quotient of the B–G system. The covers L_n of the proto B–G system are constructed that lead to n-eared strange attractor. The design of Hamiltonian energy function of proto B–G system concludes that the energy is decreased as the multi-wing number increased. Moreover, complex dynamics of the proto B–G system are discussed in detail for a specific set of parameters.     

Study of the Wada fractal boundary and indeterminate crisis

By using the generalized cell mapping digraph (GCMD)method,we study bifurcations governing the escape of periodically forced oscillators in a potential well,in which a chaotic saddle plays an extremely important role.Int this paper,we find the chaotic saddle,and we demonstrate that the chaotic saddle is embedded in a strange fractal boundary which has the Wada property,that any point on the boundary of that basin is also simultaneously on the boundary of at least two other basins.The chaotic saddle in the Wada fractal boundary,by colliding with a chaotic attractor,leads to a chaotic boundary crisis with a global indeterminate outcome which presents an extreme form of indeterminacy in a dynamical system.We also investigate the origin and evolution of the chaotic saddle in the Wada fractal boundary particularly concentrating on its discontinuous bifurcations(metamorphoses),We demonstrate that the chaotic saddle in the Wada fractal boundary is created by the collision between two chaotic saddles in different fractal boundaries.After a final escape bifurcation,there only exists the attractor at infinity;a chaotic saddle with a beautiful pattern is left behind in phase space.     

Multiple coexisting attractors,Basin boundaries and basic sets

Orbits initialized exactly on a basin boundary remain on that boundary and tend to a subset on the boundary. The largest ergodic such sets are called basic sets. In this paper we develop a numerical technique which restricts orbits to the boundary. We call these numerically obtained orbits “straddle orbits”. By following straddle orbits we can obtain all the basic sets on a basin boundary. Furthermore, we show that knowledge of the basic sets provides essential information on the structure of the boundaries. The straddle orbit method is illustrated by two systems as examples. The first system is a damped driven pendulum which has two basins of attraction separated by a fractal basin boundary. In this case the basic set is chaotic and appears to resemble the product of two Cantor sets. The second system is a high-dimensional system (five phase space dimensions), namely, two coupled driven Van der Pol oscillators. Two parameter sets are examined for this system. In one of these cases the basin boundaries are not fractal, but there are several attractors and the basins are tangled in a complicated way. In this case all the basic sets are found to be unstable periodic orbits. It is then shown that using the numerically obtained knowledge of the basic sets, one can untangle the topology of the basin boundaries in the five-dimensional phase space. In the case of the other parameter set, we find that the basin boundary is fractal and contains at least two basic sets one of which is chaotic and the other quasiperiodic.     

Chaotic electron trajectories in electromagnetic wiggler free-electron laser with a guide magnetic field

Summary The Hamiltonian for an electron travelling through a large-amplitude backward electromagnetic wave, an axial guide magnetic field and radiation field is formulated. Poincaré surface-of-section plots show that this Hamiltonian is non-integrable, and leads to chaotic trajectories. Equilibrium conditions are derived in the limit where the radiation field approaches zero. Compared to conventional FEL, the total energy of the system at pondermotive resonanceE _c is large, while the electron's critical energy γ_c is low for electromagnetic wiggler FEL. Moreover, the threshold wave amplitude (A _r=A _c) of beam chaoticity is found at lower values of the radiation field amplitude compared to magnetostatic wiggler FEL. Previous features confirmed that electromagnetic wiggler FEL can operate more coherently and more efficiently at moderated particle's energy compared to magnetostatic wiggler FEL.     

Quantum chaos for the radially vibrating spherical billiard

The spherical quantum billiard with a time-varying radius, a(t), is considered. It is proved that only superposition states with components of common rotational symmetry give rise to chaos. Examples of both nonchaotic and chaotic states are described. In both cases, a Hamiltonian is derived in which a and P are canonical coordinate and momentum, respectively. For the chaotic case, working in Bloch variables (x,y,z), equations describing the motion are derived. A potential function is introduced which gives bounded motion of a(t). Poincare maps of (a,P) at x=0 and the Bloch sphere projected onto the (x,y) plane at P=0 both reveal chaotic characteristics. (c) 2000 American Institute of Physics.     

The distribution of equilibrium magnetization currents in systems with dimensional quantization in a finite magnetic field

The distribution of equilibrium magnetization currents in two-dimensional bounded systems placed in an external magnetic field is studied. A half-plane, a quantum disk, and a wide quantum ring are considered. The passage from classical to quantizing magnetic fields is investigated. The edge currents near the boundary of the half-plane are shown to experience damped (far from the boundaries) spatial oscillations related to the Fermi electron wavelength. The region occupied by currents was found to narrow with increasing field. Apart from these oscillations, the current contains a component that smoothly changes with distance but oscillationally depends on the position of the Fermi level relative to the Landau levels. The suppression of the oscillations by temperature is studied. The spatial distribution of the current in a circular disk and a ring is shown to significantly depend on the position of the Fermi level.     

Digital image watermarking using gyrator transform and chaotic maps

We propose a new method for digital image watermarking using gyrator transform and chaotic maps. Four chaotic maps have been used in the proposed technique. The four chaotic maps that have been used are the logistic map, the tent map, the Kaplan-Yorke map and the Ikeda map. These chaotic maps are used to generate the random phase masks and these random phase masks are known as chaotic random phase masks. A new technique has been proposed to generate the single chaotic random phase mask by using two chaotic maps together with different seed values. The watermark encoding method in the proposed technique is based on the double random phase encoding method. The gyrator transform and two chaotic random phase masks are used to encode the input image. The mean square error, the peak signal-to-noise ratio and the bit error rate have been calculated. Robustness of the proposed technique has been evaluated in terms of the chaotic maps, the number of the chaotic maps used to generate the CRPM, the rotation angle of the gyrator transform and the seed values of the chaotic random phase masks. Optical implementation of the technique has been proposed. The computer simulations are presented to verify the validity of the proposed technique.     

Modeling and Analysis of a Three-Terminal-Memristor-Based Conservative Chaotic System

In this paper, a three-terminal memristor is constructed and studied through changing dual-port output instead of one-port. A new conservative memristor-based chaotic system is built by embedding this three-terminal memristor into a newly proposed four-dimensional (4D) Euler equation. The generalized Hamiltonian energy function has been given, and it is composed of conservative and non-conservative parts of the Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian of the Euler equation remains constant, while the three-terminal memristor’s Hamiltonian is mutative, causing non-conservation in energy. Through proof, only centers or saddles equilibria exist, which meets the definition of the conservative system. A non-Hamiltonian conservative chaotic system is proposed. The Hamiltonian of the conservative part determines whether the system can produce chaos or not. The non-conservative part affects the dynamic of the system based on the conservative part. The chaotic and quasiperiodic orbits are generated when the system has different Hamiltonian levels. Lyapunov exponent (LE), Poincaré map, bifurcation and Hamiltonian diagrams are used to analyze the dynamical behavior of the non-Hamiltonian conservative chaotic system. The frequency and initial values of the system have an extensive variable range. Through the mechanism adjustment, instead of trial-and-error, the maximum LE of the system can even reach an incredible value of 963. An analog circuit is implemented to verify the existence of the non-Hamiltonian conservative chaotic system, which overcomes the challenge that a little bias will lead to the disappearance of conservative chaos.     

Characterization of chaotic maps using the permutation Bandt-Pompe probability distribution

By appealing to a long list of different nonlinear maps we review the characterization of time series arising from chaotic maps. The main tool for this characterization is the permutation Bandt-Pompe probability distribution function. We focus attention on both local and global characteristics of the components of this probability distribution function. We show that forbidden ordinal patterns (local quantifiers) exhibit an exponential growth for pattern-length range 3 ≤ D ≤ 8, in the case of finite time series data. Indeed, there is a minimum D _min-value such that forbidden patterns cannot appear for D < D _min. The system’s localization in an entropy-complexity plane (global quantifier) displays typical specific features associated with its dynamics’ nature. We conclude that a more “robust” distinction between deterministic and stochastic dynamics is achieved via the present time series’ treatment based on the global characteristics of the permutation Bandt-Pompe probability distribution function.
