The time-dependent relaxation of a dynamical system may exhibit a power-law behavior that is superimposed by log-periodic oscillations. Sornette [Phys. Rep. 297, 239 (1998)] showed that this behavior can be explained by a discrete scale…
Based on theoretical argument and experimental evidence, we conjecture that structure functions of turbulent times series exhibit log-periodic modulations decorating their power law dependence. In order to provide ironclad experimental…
This work is inspired by a recent study of a two-dimensional stochastic fragmentation model. We show that the configurational entropy of this model exhibits log-periodic oscillations as a function of the sample size, by exploiting an exact…
We show that certain critical exponents of systems with multiplicative noise can be obtained from exponents of the KPZ equation. Numerical simulations in 1d confirm this prediction, and yield other exponents of the multiplicative noise…
We introduce a generalization of the q-analysis, which provides a novel non-parametric tool for the description and detection of log-periodic structures associated with discrete scale invariance. We use this generalized q-analysis to…
A field-theoretic approach is applied to describe behavior of three-dimensional, weakly disordered, elastically isotropic, compressible systems with long-range interactions at various values of a long-range interaction parameter.…
Multiplicative logarithmic corrections frequently characterize critical behaviour in statistical physics. Here, a recently proposed theory relating the exponents of such terms is extended to account for circumstances which often occur when…
In the vicinity of the onset of an instability, we investigate the effect of colored multiplicative noise on the scaling of the moments of the unstable mode amplitude. We introduce a family of zero dimensional models for which we can…
Critical phenomena in globally coupled excitable elements are studied by focusing on a saddle-node bifurcation at the collective level. Critical exponents that characterize divergent fluctuations of interspike intervals near the bifurcation…
Critical intermittency stands for a type of intermittent dynamics in iterated function systems, caused by an interplay of a superstable fixed point and a repelling fixed point. We consider critical intermittency for iterated function…
We consider instabilities of a single mode with finite wavenumber in inversion symmetric spatially one dimensional systems, where the character of the bifurcation changes from sub- to supercritical behaviour. Starting from a general…
Large p_T transverse momentum distributions exhibit apparently a power-like behavior. We argue that, under closer inspection, this behavior is in fact decorated with some log-periodic oscillations. Assuming that this is genuine effect and…
In this paper we provide conditions to ensure the existence, for $e>0$ sufficiently small, of periodic solutions of given period $T>0$ in a prescribed domain $U$ for a class of singularly perturbed first order differential systems. Here…
It will be shown that the renormalization operator, acting on the space of smooth unimodal maps with critical exponent greater than 1, has periodic points of any combinatorial type.
Quasiperiodic systems are aperiodic but deterministic, so their critical behavior differs from that of clean systems as well as disordered ones. Quasiperiodic criticality was previously understood only in the special limit where the…
Under certain circumstances, the time behavior of a random walk is modulated by logarithmic periodic oscillations. The goal of this paper is to present a simple and pedagogical explanation of the origin of this modulation for diffusion on a…
Calculation of amplitudes in perturbative quantum field theory involve large loop integrals. The complexity of those integrals, in combination with the large number of Feynman diagrams, make the calculations very difficult. Reduction…
The knowledge of transitions between regular, laminar or chaotic behavior is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms behind complex systems. While several linear approaches are often insufficient to describe such processes, there…
Discrete scale invariance (DSI) has recently been documented in time-to-failure rupture, earthquake processes and financial crashes, in the fractal geometry of growth processes and in random systems. The main signature of DSI is the…
We study incompressible systems of motile particles with alignment interactions. Unlike their compressible counterparts, in which the order-disorder (i.e., moving to static) transition, tuned by either noise or number density, is…
