Nonlinear dynamics in wurtzite InN diodes under terahertz radiation

We carry out a theoretical study of nonlinear dynamics in terahertz-driven n⁺nn⁺ wurtzite InN diodes by using time-dependent drift diffusion equations. A cooperative nonlinear oscillatory mode appears due to the negative differential mobility effect, which is the unique feature of wurtzite InN aroused by its strong nonparabolicity of the Γ₁ valley. The appearance of different nonlinear oscillatory modes, including periodic and chaotic states, is attributed to the competition between the self-sustained oscillation and the external driving oscillation. The transitions between the periodic and chaotic states are carefully investigated using chaos-detecting methods, such as the bifurcation diagram, the Fourier spectrum and the first return map. The resulting bifurcation diagram displays an interesting and complex transition picture with the driving amplitude as the control parameter.     

Oscillations in autonomous two-dimensional second-order recursive digital systems with symmetric coefficients and binary quantization

We study the processes in autonomous two-dimensional second-order recursive digital systems with symmetric coefficients and two-level quantization of summarizing results. A method for bifurcation diagram construction within the framework of the deterministic approach is proposed. Using this method, the conditions for existence of given types of output signals expressed through filter coefficients are found. A bifurcation diagram of the system is constructed. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 49, No. 7, pp. 635–642, July 2006.

Bifurcation diagrams in relation to synchronization in chaotic systems

We numerically study some of the three-dimensional dynamical systems which exhibit complete synchronization as well as generalized synchronization to show that these systems can be conveniently partitioned into equivalent classes facilitating the study of bifurcation diagrams within each class. We demonstrate how bifurcation diagrams may be helpful in predicting the nature of the driven system by knowing the bifurcation diagram of driving system and vice versa. The study is extended to include the possible generalized synchronization between elements of two different equivalent classes by taking the Rössler-driven-Lorenz-system as an example.     

Nonlinear feedback control of a novel hyperchaotic system and its circuit implementation

This paper reports a new hyperchaotic system by adding an additional state variable into a three-dimensional chaotic dynamical system. Some of its basic dynamical properties, such as the hyperchaotic attractor, Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagram and the hyperchaotic attractor evolving into periodic, quasi-periodic dynamical behaviours by varying parameter k are studied. An effective nonlinear feedback control method is used to suppress hyperchaos to unstable equilibrium. Furthermore, a circuit is designed to realize this new hyperchaotic system by electronic workbench (EWB). Numerical simulations are presented to show these results.     

Homoclinic orbits and mixed-mode oscillations in far-from-equilibrium systems

Nonlinear autonomous dynamical systems with ahomoclinic tangency to a periodic orbit are investigated. We study the bifurcation sequences of the mixed-mode oscillations generated by the homoclinicity, which are shown to belong to two different types, depending on the nature of the Liapunov numbers of the basic periodic orbit. A detailed numerical analysis is carried out to show how the existence of a tangent homoclinic orbit allows us to understand in a quantitative way a particular and regular sequence of cool flame-ignition oscillations observed in a thermokinetic model of hydrocarbon oxidation. Chaotic cool flame oscillations are also observed in the same model. When the control parameter crosses a critical value, this chaotic set of trajectories becomes globally unstable and forms a Cantor-like hyperbolic repellor, and the ignition mechanism generates ahomoclinic tangency to the Cantor set of trajectories. The complex bifurcation diagram may be globally reconstructed from a one-dimensional dynamical system, thanks to the strong contractivity of thermokinetics. It is found that a symbolic dynamics with three symbols is necessary to classify the periodic windows of the complex bifurcation sequence observed numerically in this system.     

Phase diagrams of Ising models on Husimi trees. I. Pure multisite interaction systems

Lattice spin systems with multisite interactions have rich and interesting phase diagrams. We present some results for such systems involving Ising spins (=±1) using a generalization of the Bethe lattice approximation. First, we show that our approach yields good approximations for the phase diagrams of some recently studied multisite interaction systems. Second, a multisite interaction system with competing interactions is investigated and a strong connection with results from the theory of dynamical systems is made. We exhibit a full bifurcation diagram, chaos, period-3 windows, etc., for the magnetization of the base site of this system.     

Stochastic bifurcation for a tumor–immune system with symmetric Lévy noise

In this paper, we investigate stochastic bifurcation for a tumor–immune system in the presence of a symmetric non-Gaussian Lévy noise. Stationary probability density functions will be numerically obtained to define stochastic bifurcation via the criteria of its qualitative change, and bifurcation diagram at parameter plane is presented to illustrate the bifurcation analysis versus noise intensity and stability index. The effects of both noise intensity and stability index on the average tumor population are also analyzed by simulation calculation. We find that stochastic dynamics induced by Gaussian and non-Gaussian Lévy noises are quite different.     

Snaking and isolas of localised states in bistable discrete lattices

We consider localised states in a discrete bistable Allen-Cahn equation. This model equation combines bistability and local cell-to-cell coupling in the simplest possible way. The existence of stable localised states is made possible by pinning to the underlying lattice; they do not exist in the equivalent continuum equation. In particular we address the existence of ‘isolas’: closed curves of solutions in the bifurcation diagram. Isolas appear for some non-periodic boundary conditions in one spatial dimension but seem to appear generically in two dimensions. We point out how features of the bifurcation diagram in 1D help to explain some (unintuitive) features of the bifurcation diagram in 2D.     

Experiments on the bifurcation behaviour of a forced nonlinear pendulum

We investigate a mechanical system (forced nonlinear torsion pendulum). The state diagram is given as function of both the external driving frequency and the damping parameter. A bifurcation diagram is measured showing period doubling, chaos and periodic windows. The results are in qualitative agreement with the recent theory.     

Suppression of chaos and other dynamical transitions induced by intercellular coupling in a model for cyclic AMP signaling in Dictyostelium cells

The effect of intercellular coupling on the switching between periodic behavior and chaos is investigated in a model for cAMP oscillations in Dictyostelium cells. We first analyze the dynamic behavior of a homogeneous cell population which is governed by a three-variable differential system for which bifurcation diagrams are obtained as a function of two control parameters. We then consider the mixing of two populations behaving in a chaotic and periodic manner, respectively. Cells are coupled through the sharing of a common chemical intermediate, extracellular cAMP, which controls its production and release by the cells into the extracellular medium; the dynamics of the mixed suspension is governed by a five-variable differential system. When the two cell populations differ by the value of a single parameter which measures the activity of the enzyme that degrades extracellular cAMP, the bifurcation diagram established for the three-variable homogeneous population can be used to predict the dynamic behavior of the mixed suspension. The analysis shows that a small proportion of periodic cells can suppress chaos in the mixed suspension. Such a fragility of chaos originates from the relative smallness of the domain of aperiodic oscillations in parameter space. The bifurcation diagram is used to obtain the minimum fraction of periodic cells suppressing chaos. These results are related to the suppression of chaos by the small-amplitude periodic forcing of a strange attractor. Numerical simulations further show how the coupling of periodic cells with chaotic cells can produce chaos, bursting, simple periodic oscillations, or a stable steady state; the coupling between two populations at steady state can produce similar modes of dynamic behavior.

Chaos via Shilnikov's saddle-node bifurcation in a theory of the electroencephalogram

We study the bifurcation diagram of a mesoscopic model of the human cortex. This model is known to exhibit robust chaotic behavior in the space of parameters that model exterior forcing. We show that the bifurcation diagram has an unusual degree of organization. In particular, we show that the chaos is spawned by a codimension-one homoclinic bifurcation that was analyzed by Shilnikov in 1969 but has never before been found in a physical application.     

A novel four-wing non-equilibrium chaotic system and its circuit implementation

In this paper, we construct a novel, 4D smooth autonomous system. Compared to the existing chaotic systems, the most attractive point is that this system does not display any equilibria, but can still exhibit four-wing chaotic attractors. The proposed system is investigated through numerical simulations and analyses including time phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagram, and Poincaré maps. There is little difference between this chaotic system without equilibria and other chaotic systems with equilibria shown by phase portraits and Lyapunov exponents. But the bifurcation diagram shows that the chaotic systems without equilibria do not have characteristics such as pitchfork bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation etc. which are common to the normal chaotic systems. The Poincaré maps show that this system is a four-wing chaotic system with more complicated dynamics. Moreover, the physical existence of the four-wing chaotic attractor without equilibria is verified by an electronic circuit.     

摩擦力对非弹性蹦球倍周期运动的影响

分析了摩擦力对竖直振动台面上完全非弹性蹦球动力学行为的影响.当控制参数Γ由1逐渐增大时,作用在蹦球上的恒定摩擦力不会改变倍周期分岔的序列,但会使倍周期分岔点的数值变大.与无摩擦力时的情况相比,在飞行时间的分岔图中也存在倍周期分岔密集区,只是被横向拉伸纵向压缩,且具有不同的分形特性.与受振颗粒体系中的倍周期分岔过程做了比较,发现当摩擦力取值为颗粒总重量的20%—30%时两者符合很好.

Bifurcation diagram globally underpinning neuronal firing behaviors modified by SK conductance

Neurons in the brain utilize various firing trains to encode the input signals they have received.Firing behavior of one single neuron is thoroughly explained by using a bifurcation diagram from polarized resting to firing,and then to depolarized resting.This explanation provides an important theoretical principle for understanding neuronal biophysical behaviors.This paper reports the novel experimental and modeling results of the modification of such a bifurcation diagram by adjusting small conductance potassium(SK)channel.In experiments,changes in excitability and depolarization block in nucleus accumbens shell and medium-spiny projection neurons are explored by increasing the intensity of injected current and blocking the SK channels by apamin.A shift of bifurcation points is observed.Then,a Hodgkin–Huxley type model including the main electrophysiological processes of such neurons is developed to reproduce the experimental results.The reduction of SK channel conductance also shifts the bifurcations,which is in consistence with experiment.A global bifurcation paradigm of this shift is obtained by adjusting two parameters,intensity of injected current and SK channel conductance.This work reveals the dynamics underpinning modulation of neuronal firing behaviors by biologically important ionic conductance.The results indicate that small ionic conductance other than that responsible for spike generation can modify bifurcation points and shift the bifurcation diagram and,thus,change neuronal excitability and adaptation.
