Applications of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Theory in Developmental Psychology: Motor and Cognitive Development

Applications of nonlinear dynamical systems theory to psychology have led to recent advances in understanding neuromotor development and advances in theories of cognitive development. This article reviews published findings associated with a specific coherent and influential application from which a theory of adaptive, self-organized cognition has been derived and related to a theory of developmental dynamics of the neuromotor system. The review focuses on implications of the two theories for quantifying developmental phenomena, and suggests a method for quantifying the cognitive theory.     

The fractal city theory revisited: new empirical evidence from the distribution of Romanian cities and towns

Some of the main ideas of the fractal city theory are briefly reviewed, and their applicability is tested for the medium and small-size Romanian urban settlements. The universality of Zipf law for cities and towns distribution is proved once again and a stochastic master equation is proposed in order to explain the empirical distribution. The urban structure of Bucharest is investigated as an example of medium-size city formed by merging some independent poles of growth. The Central Places Theory is found to be in disagreement with the real urban structure. Instead, the diffusion-limited aggregation and self-organized criticality mechanisms are investigated by means of some numerical simulations and are found to fit better the urban perimeter growth.     

The Role of Depth and 1/f Dynamics in Perceiving Reversible Figures

When confronted with a reversible figure, such as the Necker Cube, viewers experience a spontaneously changing percept. We assess the dynamic of how the human visual system resolves perceptual ambiguity in stimuli that offer multiple interpretations. Subjects observed the Necker cube for one of three viewing durations during which they pressed a key each time they perceived a change in the orientation of the cube. Manipulations of binocular disparity served as a parameter to control perceptual stability. Low-depth conditions yielded more perceptual reversals than high-depth conditions. A Fourier analysis performed on the time series of reversals show 1/f (pink) noise was evident in their power spectra. These results together with theoretical models of complex systems (e.g., Bak, Tang, & Wiesenfeld, 1987) suggest that depth information may guide our perceptual system into a self-organized state to assist us in resolving ambiguous information. Moreover, slopes of the spectra were steeper in high-depth and brief viewing conditions, suggesting that the visual system relies more on previous perceptual states and filters more white noise in these conditions.

Dynamic buckling of simple two-bar frames using catastrophe theory

Non-linear static and dynamic elastic buckling of simple imperfect two-bar frames, treated as continuous systems, are analyzed with the aid of catastrophe theory using a comprehensive and readily employed procedure. Static catastrophes are extended to the corresponding dynamic catastrophes of undamped frames under step loading (autonomous systems) by properly determining the dynamic singularity and bifurcational sets. Attention is focused on fold and cusp catastrophes. A local analysis based on Taylor's expansion of the non-linear equilibrium equation of the frame allows us: (a) to classify the total potential energy function of the frames to the canonical form of the corresponding universal unfolding of the seven elementary Thom's catastrophes, and (b) to easily obtain static and dynamic buckling loads, critical points (singularity sets) and related imperfection sensitivities (bifurcational sets). An illustrative example associated with a static and dynamic fold catastrophe demonstrates the efficiency and reliability of the methodology proposed herein.

An adaptive cut‐cell method for environmental fluid mechanics

In this work we present a numerical method for solving the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in an environmental fluid mechanics context. The method is designed for the study of environmental flows that are multiscale, incompressible, variable‐density, and within arbitrarily complex and possibly anisotropic domains. The method is new because in this context we couple the embedded‐boundary (or cut‐cell) method for complex geometry with block‐structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) while maintaining conservation and second‐order accuracy. The accurate simulation of variable‐density fluids necessitates special care in formulating projection methods. This variable‐density formulation is well known for incompressible flows in unit‐aspect ratio domains, without AMR, and without complex geometry, but here we carefully present a new method that addresses the intersection of these issues. The methodology is based on a second‐order‐accurate projection method with high‐order‐accurate Godunov finite‐differencing, including slope limiting and a stable differencing of the nonlinear convection terms. The finite‐volume AMR discretizations are based on two‐way flux matching at refinement boundaries to obtain a conservative method that is second‐order accurate in solution error. The control volumes are formed by the intersection of the irregular embedded boundary with Cartesian grid cells. Unlike typical discretization methods, these control volumes naturally fit within parallelizable, disjoint‐block data structures, and permit dynamic AMR coarsening and refinement as the simulation progresses. We present two‐ and three‐dimensional numerical examples to illustrate the accuracy of the method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Innovation Systems by Nonlinear Networks

Cellular Neural Networks (CNNs) constitute a powerful paradigm for modeling complex systems. Innovation systems are complex systems in which small and medium enterprises play the role of simple units interacting with each other. In this paper, innovation systems based on CNN are investigated. It is shown how a model based on CNN can reproduce the main features of innovation systems and how this model can be generalized to include different aspects of the actors of the financial market.     

Dynamic stability and bifurcation analysis in fractional thermodynamics

In mechanics, viscoelasticity was the first field of applications in studying geomaterials. Further possibilities arise in spatial non-locality. Non-local materials were already studied in the 1960s by several authors as a part of continuum mechanics and are still in focus of interest because of the rising importance of materials with internal micro- and nano-structure. When material instability gained more interest, non-local behavior appeared in a different aspect. The problem was concerned to numerical analysis, because then instability zones exhibited singular properties for local constitutive equations. In dynamic stability analysis, mathematical aspects of non-locality were studied by using the theory of dynamic systems. There the basic set of equations describing the behavior of continua was transformed to an abstract dynamic system consisting of differential operators acting on the perturbation field variables. Such functions should satisfy homogeneous boundary conditions and act as indicators of stability of a selected state of the body under consideration. Dynamic systems approach results in conditions for cases, when the differential operators have critical eigenvalues of zero real parts (dynamic stability or instability conditions). When the critical eigenvalues have non-trivial eigenspace, the way of loss of stability is classified as a typical (or generic) bifurcation. Our experiences show that material non-locality and the generic nature of bifurcation at instability are connected, and the basic functions of the non-trivial eigenspace can be used to determine internal length quantities of non-local mechanics. Fractional calculus is already successfully used in thermo-elasticity. In the paper, non-locality is introduced via fractional strain into the constitutive relations of various conventional types. Then, by defining dynamic systems, stability and bifurcation are studied for states of thermo-mechanical solids. Stability conditions and genericity conditions are presented for constitutive relations under consideration.     

Upscaling and Simulation of Waterflooding in Heterogeneous Reservoirs Using Wavelet Transformations: Application to the SPE-10 Model

We have developed an accurate and highly efficient method for upscaling and simulation of immiscible displacements in three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous reservoirs, which is an extension of the technique that we developed previously for 2D systems. The method utilizes wavelet transformations (WTs) to upscale the geological model of a reservoir, based on the spatial distribution of the single-phase permeabilities and the locations of the wells in the reservoir. It generates a non-uniform grid in which the resolved structure of the fine grid around the wells, as well as in the high-permeability sectors, are preserved, but the rest of the grid is upscaled. A robust uplayering procedure is used to reduce the number of the layers, and the WTs are used to upscale each layer areally. To demonstrate the method’s accuracy and efficiency, we have applied it to the geological model of a highly heterogeneous reservoir put forward in the tenth Society of Petroleum Engineers comparative solution project (the SPE-10 model), and carried out simulation of waterflooding in the upscaled model. Various upscaling scenarios were examined, and although some of them resulted in efficient simulations and accurate predictions, the results when non-uniform upscaling is used based on the WT technique are in excellent agreement with the solution of the same problem in the fine grid of the SPE-10 model. Most importantly, the speed-up factors that we obtain are several orders of magnitude. Hence, the method renders it unnecessary to use massively parallel computations for such problems.

THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIORS OF VISCOELASTIC PIPE CONVEYING FLUID WITH THE KELVIN MODEL

Based on the differential constitutive relationship of linear viscoelastic, material, a solid-liquid coupling vibration equation for viscoelastic pipe conveying fluid is derived by the D'Alembert's principle. The critical flow velocities and natural frequencies of the cantilever pipe conveying fluid with the Kelvin model (flutter instability) are calculated with the modified finite difference method in the form of the recurrence formula. The curves between the complex frequencies of the first, second and third mode and flow velocity of the pipe are plotted. On the basis of the numerical, calculation results, the dynamic behaviors and stability of the pipe are discussed. It should be pointed out that the delay time of viscoelastic material with the Kelvin model has a remarkable effect on the dynamic characteristics and stability behaviors of the cantilevered pipe conveying fluid, which is a gyroscopic non-conservative system.
