Synchronization among globally coupled, chaotic map lattices can be related to stable periodic windows in isolated chaotic maps. This relation provides a simple predictive tool for the understanding of complicated behavior in coupled…
Coupled map lattices of weakly coupled Chebychev maps, so-called chaotic strings, may have a profound physical meaning in terms of dynamical models of vacuum fluctuations in stochastically quantized field theories. Here we present analytic…
Ensemble averages of the sensitivity to initial conditions $\xi(t)$ and the entropy production per unit time of a {\it new} family of one-dimensional dissipative maps, $x_{t+1}=1-ae^{-1/|x_t|^z}(z>0)$, and of the known logistic-like maps,…
Suppose $P\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ and let $(\Sigma_P,\,\sigma_P)$ be the space of a spacing shift. We show that if entropy $h_{\sigma_P}=0$ then $(\Sigma_P,\,\sigma_P)$ is proximal. Also $h_{\sigma_P}=0$ if and only if $P=\mathbb N\setminus…
We show that the threshold of complete synchronization in a lattice of coupled non-smooth chaotic maps is determined by linear stability along the directions transversal to the synchronization subspace. As a result, the numerically…
In this note a notion of generalized topological entropy for arbitrary subsets of the space of all sequences in a compact topological space is introduced. It is shown that for a continuous map on a compact space the generalized topological…
We describe the boundary of chaos separating regions of parameter space with positive topological entropy from those with zero topological entropy for a class of piecewise smooth maps. This coincides with the boundary of positive Hausdorff…
We prove that the entropy function on the moduli space of real quadratic rational maps is not monotonic by exhibiting a continuum of disconnected level sets. This entropy behavior is in stark contrast with the case of polynomial maps, and…
For a continuous self-map of a star graph to be Li-Yorke chaotic and to have full periodicity, we prove some new sufficient conditions on the orbit of the center.
This paper establishes topological (equi-)semiconjugacy and (equi-)conjugacy between induced non-autonomous set-valued systems and subshifts of finite type. First, some necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a non-autonomous…
Complexity of dynamical networks can arise not only from the complexity of the topological structure but also from the time evolution of the topology. In this paper, we study the synchronous motion of coupled maps in time-varying complex…
In this article, we show that a chaotic behavior can be found on a cube with arbitrary finite dimension. That is, the cube is a quasi-minimal set with Poincare chaos. Moreover, the dynamics is shown to be Devaney and Li-Yorke chaotic. It…
This paper focuses on the extreme-value problem for Shannon entropy of the joint distribution with given marginals. It is proved that the minimum-entropy coupling must be of order-preserving, while the maximum-entropy coupling coincides…
Let $f:X\to X$ be a self homeomorphism of a continuum $X$, we show that the topological entropy of the induced system $(2^X,2^f)$ is infinite provided that $X\setminus \Omega(f)$ is not empty. If furthermore $X$ is a regular curve then it…
We present a number of second order maps, which pass the singularity confinement test commonly used to identify integrable discrete systems, but which nevertheless are non-integrable. As a more sensitive integrability test, we propose the…
A route to chaos is studied in 3-dimensional maps of logistic type. Mechanisms of period doubling for invariant closed curves (ICC) are found for specific 3-dimensional maps. These bifurcations cannot be observed for ICC in the…
It is well known that, for chaotic systems, the production of relevant entropy (Boltzmann-Gibbs) is always linear and the system has strong (exponential) sensitivity to initial conditions. In recent years, various numerical results indicate…
Topological entropy is a widely studied indicator of chaos in topological dynamics. Here we give a generalized definition of topological entropy which may be applied to set-valued functions. We demonstrate that some of the well-known…
This paper centers around two basic problems of topological coincidence theory. First, try to measure (with help of Nielsen and minimum numbers) how far a given pair of maps is from being loose, i.e. from being homotopic to a pair of…
We prove the holding of chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke for a family of four-dimensional discrete dynamical systems that are naturally associated to ODE systems describing coupled oscillators subject to an external non-conservative force,…
