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,…
We show that rather simple but non-trivial boundary conditions could induce the appearance of spatial chaos (that is stationary, stable, but spatially disordered configurations) in extended dynamical systems with very simple dynamics. We…
We visit a previously proposed discontinuous, two-parameter generalization of the continuous, one-parameter logistic map and present exhaustive numerical studies of the behavior for different values of the two parameters and initial points.…
The bifurcation and chaotic behaviour of unidirectionally coupled deterministic ratchets is studied as a function of the driving force amplitude ($a$) and frequency ($\omega$). A classification of the various types of bifurcations likely to…
A classical double oscillator model, that includes in certain parameter limits, the standard harmonic oscillator and the inverse oscillator, is interpreted as a dynamical system. We study its essential features and make a qualitative…
The character of the time-asymptotic evolution of physical systems can have complex, singular behavior with variation of a system parameter, particularly when chaos is involved. A perturbation of the parameter by a small amount $\epsilon$…
The mechanism responsible for the emergence of chaotic behavior has been identified analytically within a class of three-dimensional dynamical systems which generalize the well-known E.N. Lorenz 1963 system. The dynamics in the phase space…
We here describe the possibility of a synthetic description of the onset of Chaos in many degrees of freedom dynamical systems within the framework of the geometric description of dynamics. We show how this approach to instability helps to…
We derive a semi-analytic criterion for the presence of chaos in compact, eccentric multiplanet systems. Beyond a minimum semimajor-axis separation, below which the dynamics are chaotic at all eccentricities, we show that (i) the onset of…
This paper is concerned with Devaney chaos in non-autonomous discrete systems. It is shown that in its definition, the two former conditions, i.e., transitivity and density of periodic points, in a set imply the last one, i.e., sensitivity,…
Motivated by bouncing motion of an inelastic particle on a vibrating board, a simple two-dimensional map is constructed and its behavior is studied numerically. In addition to the typical route to chaos through a periodic doubling…
The dynamical symmetry breaking in a two-field model is studied by numerically solving the coupled effective field equations. These are dissipative equations of motion that can exhibit strong chaotic dynamics. By choosing very general model…
We analyze the dynamics of a deterministic model of inhibitory neuronal networks proving that the discontinuities of the Poincare map produce a never empty chaotic set, while its continuity pieces produce stable orbits. We classify the…
The striking fractal geometry of strange attractors underscores the generative nature of chaos: like probability distributions, chaotic systems can be repeatedly measured to produce arbitrarily-detailed information about the underlying…
The dynamics of a nonequilibrium system can become complex because the system has many components (e.g., a human brain), because the system is strongly driven from equilibrium (e.g., large Reynolds-number flows), or because the system…
We present an experimental study of the Duffing--Holmes oscillator with a double-well potential, implemented as an analog electronic circuit under periodic external forcing. By systematically varying the forcing amplitude and frequency, we…
The regular and chaotic character of orbits is investigated in a 3D potential describing motion in the central parts of a barred galaxy. This potential is an extension in the 3D space of a 2D potential based on a family of figure-eight…
It might be anticipated that there is statistical universality in the long-time classical dynamics of chaotic systems, corresponding to the universal correspondence of their quantum spectral statistics with random matrix models. We argue…
Baroclinic instability is a fundamental mechanism driving atmospheric dynamics. In this work, we revisit Pedlosky's two-layer model for finite amplitude baroclinic waves - a seminal framework for studying the unstable growth of finite…
Defect-chaos is studied numerically in coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations for parametrically driven waves. The motion of the defects is traced in detail yielding their life-times, annihilation partners, and distances traveled. In a regime in…
