Chaos identification of a colliding constrained body on a moving belt

Nonlinear Dynamics - In this work, the combination of the 0–1 test for chaos and approximate entropy is applied to a newly established mechanical model instead of the Lyapunov exponent...     

On negative limit sets for one-dimensional dynamics

In this paper we study the structure of negative limit sets of maps on the unit interval. We prove that every α-limit set is an ω-limit set, while the converse is not true in general. Surprisingly, it may happen that the space of all α-limit sets of interval maps is not closed in the Hausdorff metric (and thus some ω-limit sets are never obtained as α-limit sets). Moreover, we prove that the set of all recurrent points is closed if and only if the space of all α-limit sets is closed.     

The motion characteristics of the double‐pendulum system with skew walls

Many components of machines and other technological devices (chains and bodies hanging on the ropes) can be modeled as multiple pendulums situated in tubes or holes of limited space. The investigation of motion of such systems represents the substance of many real technological problems; therefore, it stirred up motivation to perform research on vibration of a double pendulum situated between two skew rigid walls. The analyzed system was set into motion by the horizontal movement of its suspending. The results of the simulations show that the system can exhibit both the regular and chaotic movements depending on the excitation frequency. The development of the computational model, which is applicable for more complex investigations, and learning more on the motion character of a double pendulum, the movement of which is limited by skew walls, are the principal contributions of the presented article.     

Li and Yorke chaos with respect to the cardinality of the scrambled sets

In the present paper we study Li and Yorke chaos on several spaces in connection with the cardinality of its scrambled sets. We prove that there is a map on a Cantor set and a map on a two-dimensional arcwise connected continuum (with empty interior) such that each scrambled set contains exactly two points.
