Deterministic sandpile models are studied on a cost optimized Barab\'asi-Albert (BA) scale-free network whose nodes are the sites of a square lattice. For the optimized BA network, the sandpile model has the same critical behaviour as the…

The disorder function formalism [Gunaratne et.al., Phys. Rev. E, {\bf 57}, 5146 (1998)]^M is used to show that pattern relaxation in an experiment on a vibrated layer of brass beads^M occurs in three distinct stages. During stage I, all…

We propose a derivative-free saddle-search algorithm designed to locate transition states using only function evaluations. The algorithm employs a nested architecture consisting of an inner eigenvector search and an outer saddle-point…

We consider the scalar delay differential equation $$ \dot{x}(t)=-x(t)+f_{K}(x(t-1)) $$ with a nondecreasing feedback function $f_{K}$ depending on a parameter $K$, and we verify that a saddle-node bifurcation of periodic orbits takes place…

We consider a stochastic environment with two time scales and outline a general theory that compares two methods to reduce the dimension of the original system. The first method involves the computation of the underlying deterministic…

A topological bifurcation in chaotic scattering is characterized by a sudden change in the topology of the infinite set of unstable periodic orbits embedded in the underlying chaotic invariant set. We uncover a scaling law for the fractal…

We analyze the phenomenon of system size stochastic resonance in a simple spatially extended system by exploiting the knowledge of the nonequilibrium potential. We show that through the analysis of that potential, and particularly its…

Given a finite set of data generated by an unknown ordinary differential equation it is impossible to exactly determine the associated vector field, and hence, bifurcation theory tells us that it is impossible, in general, to correctly…

Computer simulations of first-order relaxation processes show that the spatial configurations of the system acquire an invariant shape once the stationary regime is attained. Inspired by them we find that, in any first-order relaxation…
