Features of the behavior of solutions to a nonlinear dynamical system in the case of two-frequency parametric resonance

Two-frequency parametric resonance in nonlinear dynamical systems is studied by analyzing a delay differential equation with the delay obeying a two-frequency law, which arises in the mathematical simulation of some physical processes. It is shown that the system can exhibit chaotic oscillations (strange attractors) when the parametric excitation frequencies are both close to the doubled eigenfrequency of the system (degenerate case). The formation mechanisms of chaotic attractors are discussed, and the Lyapunov exponents and the Lyapunov dimension are calculated for them. If only one of the parametric excitation frequencies is close to the double eigenfrequency, a two-frequency regime occurs in the system.     

Dynamics of Perturbed Wavetrain Solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau Equation

The bifurcation structure and asymptotic dynamics of even, spatially periodic solutions to the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation are investigated analytically and numerically. All solutions spring from unstable periodic modulations of a uniform wavetrain. Asymptotic states include limit cycles, two-tori, and chaotic attractors. Lyapunov exponents for some chaotic motions are obtained. These show the solution strange attractors to have a fractal dimension slightly greater than 3.     

Quasiperiodicity,strange non-chaotic and chaotic attractors in a forced two degrees-of-freedom system

Strange non-chaotic, strange chaotic and quasiperiodic attractors are demonstrated to exist for a system of two non-linear coupled oscillators with almost periodic excitations. For same parameter values a transition from a strange non-chaotic to a quasiperiodic attractor is presented, whereas for other parameter values a shift from the strange chaotic attractor to a quasiperiodic one is found.     

A periodically forced,piecewise linear system,Part II: The fragmentation mechanism of strange attractors and grazing

In the first part of this work, the local singularity of non-smooth dynamical systems was discussed and the criteria for the grazing bifurcation were presented mathematically. In this part, the fragmentation mechanism of strange attractors in non-smooth dynamical systems is investigated. The periodic motion transition is completed through grazing. The concepts for the initial and final grazing, switching manifolds are introduced for six basic mappings. The fragmentation of strange attractors in non-smooth dynamical systems is described mathematically. The fragmentation mechanism of the strange attractor for such a non-smooth dynamical system is qualitatively discussed. Such a fragmentation of the strange attractor is illustrated numerically. The criteria and topological structures for the fragmentation of the strange attractor need to be further developed as in hyperbolic strange attractors. The fragmentation of the strange attractors extensively exists in non-smooth dynamical systems, which will help us better understand chaotic motions in non-smooth dynamical systems.     

Three-species food web model with impulsive control strategy and chaos

A three-species ecological model with impulsive control strategy is developed using the theory and methods of ecology and ordinary differential equation. Conditions for extinction of the system are given based on the theory of impulsive equation and small amplitude perturbation. Using comparison involving multiple Lyapunov functions, the system is shown to be permanent. Further, the influence of the impulsive perturbation on the inherent oscillation are studied numerically and is found to depict rich dynamics, such as the period-doubling bifurcation, the period-halving bifurcation, a chaotic band, a narrow or wide periodic window, and chaotic crises. In addition, the largest Lyapunov exponent is computed. This computation demonstrates the chaotic dynamic behavior of the model. The qualitative nature of concerned strange attractors is also investigated through their computed Fourier spectra. The foregoing results have the potential to be useful for the study of the dynamic complexity of ecosystems.     

Countable infinite sequence of attractors'' families for the simplest known equivariant chaotic flow

More than 30 new families of periodic and strange attractors for the simplest known equivariant chaotic jerk equation are studied. Inside each family, both periodic and chaotic attractors result from the subharmonic cascade of a limit cycle born by saddle-node bifurcation. Our numerical results provide clear evidence for the following conjecture: the 35 observed families are the first members of a countable infinite sequence. Furthermore, our simulations point out four power laws relating to the initial infinite sequence of saddle-node bifurcations.     

The Chaplygin Sleigh with Parametric Excitation: Chaotic Dynamics and Nonholonomic Acceleration

This paper is concerned with the Chaplygin sleigh with time-varying mass distribution (parametric excitation). The focus is on the case where excitation is induced by a material point that executes periodic oscillations in a direction transverse to the plane of the knife edge of the sleigh. In this case, the problem reduces to investigating a reduced system of two first-order equations with periodic coefficients, which is similar to various nonlinear parametric oscillators. Depending on the parameters in the reduced system, one can observe different types of motion, including those accompanied by strange attractors leading to a chaotic (diffusion) trajectory of the sleigh on the plane. The problem of unbounded acceleration (an analog of Fermi acceleration) of the sleigh is examined in detail. It is shown that such an acceleration arises due to the position of the moving point relative to the line of action of the nonholonomic constraint and the center of mass of the platform. Various special cases of existence of tensor invariants are found.     

Analysis of the dynamics of Cournot team-game with heterogeneous players

In this paper, we study a dynamical system of a two-team Cournot game played by a team consisting of two firms with bounded rationality and a team consisting of one firm with naive expectation. The equilibrium solutions and the conditions of their locally asymptotic stability are studied. It is demonstrated that, as some parameters in the model are varied, the stability of the equilibrium will get lost and many such complex behaviors as the period bifurcation, chaotic phenomenon, periodic windows, strange attractor and unpredictable trajectories will occur. The great influence of the model parameters on the speed of convergence to the equilibrium is also shown with numerical analysis.     

Chaos in a bienzymatic cyclic model with two autocatalytic loops

A general bienzymatic cyclic system including two autocatalytic loops is studied and used as a basic design principle for modelling extracellular matrix turnover. Using classical enzyme kinetic rates, the model is described by a set of four ordinary differential equations and numerically studied by bifurcation diagrams and Poincaré sections. We observe limit-cycle oscillations and chaotic behaviors arising from period-doubling cascades or intermittency. Chaotic oscillations originate from distinct strange attractors that undergo boundary and internal crisis. For some parameter values, the system presents several bistable areas, where a limit cycle coexists with another one or with a strange attractor. The dynamics are qualitatively modified when the weight of the autocatalytic loops on the system varies, resulting in the change in the number of attractors.     

On grazing and strange attractors fragmentation in non-smooth dynamical systems

This paper presents some new ideas to understand the strange attractor fragmentation caused by grazing in non-smooth dynamic systems. The sufficient and necessary conditions for grazing bifurcations in non-smooth dynamic systems are presented. The initial sets of grazing mapping are introduced and the corresponding initial grazing manifolds are discussed. The grazing-induced fragmentation of strange attractors of chaotic motions in non-smooth dynamical systems is presented. The mathematical theory for such a fragmentation of strange attractors should be further developed.

Occurrence and underlying mechanism of multi-stripe chaotic attractors

This paper is concerned with the generation of multi-stripe chaotic attractors. Simple periodic nonlinear functions are employed to transform the original chaotic attractors to a pattern with multiple “parallel” or “rectangular” stripes. The relationship between the system parameters related to some periodic functions and the shape of the generated attractor is analyzed. Theoretic analysis about the underlying mechanism of generating the parallel stripes in the attractors is given. A general creation mechanism of multi-stripe attractors of the Lorenz system and other well-known chaotic systems is derived from the proposed unified approach.     

Complex dynamics in Duffing system with two external forcings

Duffing's equation with two external forcing terms have been discussed. The threshold values of chaotic motion under the periodic and quasi-periodic perturbations are obtained by using second-order averaging method and Melnikov's method. Numerical simulations not only show the consistence with the theoretical analysis but also exhibit the interesting bifurcation diagrams and the more new complex dynamical behaviors, including period-n (n=2,3,6,8) orbits, cascades of period-doubling and reverse period doubling bifurcations, quasi-periodic orbit, period windows, bubble from period-one to period-two, onset of chaos, hopping behavior of chaos, transient chaos, chaotic attractors and strange non-chaotic attractor, crisis which depends on the frequencies, amplitudes and damping. In particular, the second frequency plays a very important role for dynamics of the system, and the system can leave chaotic region to periodic motions by adjusting some parameter which can be considered as an control strategy of chaos. The computation of Lyapunov exponents confirm the dynamical behaviors.     

Dynamics in spectral solutions of Burgers equation

For low values of the viscosity coefficient, Burgers equation can develop sharp discontinuities, which are difficult to simulate in a computer. Oscillations can occur by discretization through spectral collocation methods, due to Gibbs phenomena. Under a dynamic point of view, these instabilities are related to bifurcations arising to the discretized equation. For different values of discretized points, herein a study is performed of the dynamics and bifurcations occurring in the spectral solutions of Burgers equation with symmetry. Several phenomena are observed, from limit cycles, strange attractors to the presence of bistability with two periodic attractors, with a periodic attractor and a strange attractor and with two strange attractors. Also, other stable equilibrium points can occur, diverse from the ones corresponding to the solution of Burgers equation.     

Stability and long time evolution of the periodic solutions to the two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations

The system of two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations has wide applications in physics. In the past, the main attention has been their solitary waves. Here we turn our attention to their periodic wave solutions. In this paper, the stability of the periodic solutions is studied analytically and the criteria for the stability are obtained. The long time evolution of the solutions to the coupled system is studied numerically for the unstable case emphasizing wave–wave interactions in nonlinear optics. Different kinds of evolution are observed depending on the coefficients of the system and the parameters of the unperturbed waves and perturbation. For certain ranges of parameters, the evolution appears to be periodic, while for some other ranges of parameters, solitary wave or solitary wave pairs can be excited among the irregular background although often the evolution is completely chaotic.     

Period doubling cascades of prey–predator model with nonlinear harvesting and control of over exploitation through taxation

The present study investigates a prey predator type model for conservation of ecological resources through taxation with nonlinear harvesting. The model uses the harvesting function as proposed by Agnew (1979) [1] which accounts for the handling time of the catch and also the competition between standard vessels being utilized for harvesting of resources. In this paper we consider a three dimensional dynamic effort prey–predator model with Holling type-II functional response. The conditions for uniform persistence of the model have been derived. The existence and stability of bifurcating periodic solution through Hopf bifurcation have been examined for a particular set of parameter value. Using numerical examples it is shown that the system admits periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic solutions. It is observed that the system exhibits periodic doubling route to chaos with respect to tax. Many forms of complexities such as chaotic bands (including periodic windows, period-doubling bifurcations, period-halving bifurcations and attractor crisis) and chaotic attractors have been observed. Sensitivity analysis is carried out and it is observed that the solutions are highly dependent to the initial conditions. Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle has been used to obtain optimal tax policy to maximize the monetary social benefit as well as conservation of the ecosystem.     

Modeling of chaotic motion of gyrostats in resistant environment on the base of dynamical systems with strange attractors

A chaotic motion of gyrostats in resistant environment is considered with the help of well known dynamical systems with strange attractors: Lorenz, Rössler, Newton–Leipnik and Sprott systems. Links between mathematical models of gyrostats and dynamical systems with strange attractors are established. Power spectrum of fast Fourier transformation, gyrostat longitudinal axis vector hodograph and Lyapunov exponents are find. These numerical techniques show chaotic behavior of motion corresponding to strange attractor in angular velocities phase space. Cases for perturbed gyrostat motion with variable periodical inertia moments and with periodical internal rotor relative angular moment are considered; for some cases Poincaré sections areobtained.     

High dimension diffeomorphisms exhibiting infinitely many strange attractors

In this work we show, on a manifold of any dimension, that arbitrarily near any smooth diffeomorphism with a homoclinic tangency associated to a sectionally dissipative fixed or periodic point (i.e. the product of any pair of eigenvalues has norm less than 1), there exists a diffeomorphism exhibiting infinitely many Hénon-like strange attractors. In the two-dimensional case this has been proved in [E. Colli, Infinitely many coexisting strange attractors, Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire 15 (1998) 539–579]. We also show that a parametric version of this result is true.     

The chaos and optimal control of cancer model with complete unknown parameters

In this paper, we study the chaos and optimal control of cancer model with completely unknown parameters. The stability analysis of the biologically feasible steady-states of this model will be discussed. It is proved that the system appears to exhibit periodic and quasi-periodic limit cycles and chaotic attractors for some ranges of the system parameters. The necessary optimal controllers input for the asymptotic stability of some positive equilibrium states are derived. Numerical analysis and extensive numerical examples of the uncontrolled and controlled systems were carried out for various parameters values and different initial densities.     

Complex dynamics in a linear impulsive system

The dynamical behavior of a linear impulsive system is discussed by means of both theoretical and numerical ways. This paper investigates the existence and stability of the equilibrium and period-one solution, the discontinuous jumps of eigenvalues, and the conditions for system possessing infinite period-two, period-three, and period-six solutions. By using discrete maps, the conditions of existence for Neimark–Sacker bifurcation are derived. In particular, chaotic behavior in the sense of Marotto’s definition of chaos is rigorously proven. Moreover, some detailed numerical results of the phase portraits, the periodic solutions, the bifurcation diagram, and the chaotic attractors, which are illustrated by some interesting examples, are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.
