Special subsets of orbits in chaotic systems, e.g. periodic orbits, heteroclinic orbits, closed orbits, can be considered as skeletons or scaffolds upon which the full dynamics of the system is built. In particular, as demonstrated in…

We investigate the decay process from a time dependent potential well in the semiclassical regime. The classical dynamics is chaotic and the decay rate shows an irregular behavior as a function of the system parameters. By studying the…
The route to chaos and phase dynamics in a rotating shallow-water model were rigorously examined using a five-mode Galerkin truncated system with complex variables. This system is valuable for investigating how large/meso-scales destabilize…

This article describes a numerical procedure designed to tune the parameters of periodically-driven dynamical systems to a state in which they exhibit rich dynamical behavior. This is achieved by maximizing the diversity of subharmonic…
In this paper we analyze a generic dynamical system with $\mathbb{D}_2$ constructed via a Cayley graph. We study the Hopf bifurcation and find conditions for obtaining a unique branch of periodic solutions. Our main result comes from…
Conditions are provided under which lack of domination of a homoclinic class yields robust heterodimensional cycles. Moreover, so-called viral homoclinic classes are studied. Viral classes have the property of generating copies of…
We experimentally study the synchronization of two chaotic electronic circuits whose dynamics is relayed by a third parameter-matched circuit, to which they are coupled bidirectionally in a linear chain configuration. In a wide range of…
In this work, we present a mathematical model for cyclic and sequential patterns of brain activity, combining heteroclinic dynamics with discrete neural-field models. We first show that spatial-discrete neural-field equations with…
Experimental observations of an almost symmetric electronic circuit show complicated sequences of bifurcations. These results are discussed in the light of a theory of imperfect global bifurcations. It is shown that much of the dynamics…
Chaotic dynamics can be effectively studied by continuation from an anti-integrable limit. We use this limit to assign global symbols to orbits and use continuation from the limit to study their bifurcations. We find a bound on the…
The presence of a period-doubling cascade in dynamical systems that depend on a parameter is one of the basic routes to chaos. It is rarely mentioned that there are virtually always infinitely many cascades whenever there is one. We report…
