A review of some recent results and ideas about the expected behaviour of large chaotic systems and fluids.
Spatio-temporal chaos is predicted to occur in n-doped semiconductor superlattices with sequential resonant tunneling as their main charge transport mechanism. Under dc voltage bias, undamped time-dependent oscillations of the current (due…
We consider a multi-dimensional extension of the Thomas-R\"ossler (TR) systems, that was inspired by Thomas' earlier work on biological feedback circuits, and we report on our first results that shows its ability to sustain a…
The physical basis of chaos in the solar system is now better understood: in all cases investigated so far, chaotic orbits result from overlapping resonances. Perhaps the clearest examples are found in the asteroid belt. Overlapping…
Some of the so-called imponderables and counterintuitive puzzles associated with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics appear to have alternate, parallel explanations in terms of nonlinear dynamics and chaos. These include the…
This paper uses the assumptions of ergodicity and a microcanonical distribution to compute estimates of the largest Lyapunov exponents in lower-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. That the resulting estimates are in reasonable agreement with…
We analyze the possibility of the leptonic mixing matrix having a Wolfenstein form at the Grand Unified Theory scale. The renormalization group evolution of masses and mixing angles from the high scale to electroweak scale, in certain new…
The chaotic nature of a storage-ring Free Electron Laser (FEL) is investigated. The derivation of a low embedding dimension for the dynamics allows the low-dimensionality of this complex system to be observed, whereas its unpredictability…
The motion of a relativistic test electron in a free electron laser can be altered significantly by an ideal coaxial wiggler field and uniform axial guide field. I have investigated the group I, group II and group III (the new group that,…
I review recent work on the ``phase diagram'' of the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for system sizes at which chaos is extensive. Particular attention is paid to a detailed description of the spatiotemporally disordered…
The authors present two results on infinite-dimensional linear dynamical systems with chaoticity. One is about the chaoticity of the backward shift map in the space of infinite sequences on a general Fr\'{e}chet space. The other is about…
A model with hyperchaos is studied by means of Lyapunov two-parameter analysis. The regions of chaos and hyperchaos, as well as autonomous quasiperiodicity are identified. We discuss the picture of domains of different regimes in the…
A simple new binary test for chaos has been proposed by Gottwald and Melbourne. We apply this test successfully to the Henon-Heiles and Lorenz systems, demonstrating its applicability to conservative systems, as well as dissipative systems.…
Phase mixing of chaotic orbits exponentially distributes these orbits through their accessible phase space. This phenomenon, commonly called ``chaotic mixing'', stands in marked contrast to phase mixing of regular orbits which proceeds as a…
Phase-coupled oscillators serve as paradigmatic models of networks of weakly interacting oscillatory units in physics and biology. The order parameter which quantifies synchronization was so far found to be chaotic only in systems with…
We study the chaotic motion of a semi-classical optomechanical system coupled to a non-Markovian environment with a finite correlation time. We show that the non-Markovian environment can significantly enhance chaos, by studying the…
In this work we study the existence of mechanisms of transition to global chaos in a closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with a massive conformally coupled scalar field. We propose a complexification of the radius of the universe so…
This study introduces a modified quadratic Lorenz attractor. The properties of this new chaotic system are analysed and discussed in detail, by determining the equilibria points, the eigenvalues of the Jacobian, and the Lyapunov exponents.…
We argue that Gaspard and coworkers do not give evidence for microscopic chaos in the sense in which they use the term. The effectively infinite number of molecules in a fluid can generate the same macroscopic disorder without any intrinsic…
Classical motion of positronium embedded in a magnetic field is studied, and computation shows the emergence of chaotic orbits. Recent work investigating quantum behavior of this system predicts extremely long lifetimes. Chaos assisted…
