It is known that certain types of particle motion near black hole horizons are chaotic while it has been proposed the existence of a universal bound for their Lyapunov exponent. We discuss the relation between chaos and inaffinity in…
We investigate measures of chaos in the measurement record of a quantum system which is being observed. Such measures are attractive because they can be directly connected to experiment. Two measures of chaos in the measurement record are…
In this paper, we introduce several new types and generalizations of the concepts distributional chaos and Li-Yorke chaos. We consider the general sequences of binary relations acting between metric spaces, while in a separate section we…
We consider the effect of compactification of extra dimensions on the onset of classical chaotic "Mixmaster" behavior during cosmic contraction. Assuming a universe that is well-approximated as a four-dimensional Friedmann-Robertson--Walker…
We consider a disordered system obtained by coupling two mixed even-spin models together. The chaos problem is concerned with the behavior of the coupled system when the external parameters in the two models, such as, temperature, disorder,…
We provide a Hamiltonian analysis of the Mixmaster Universe dynamics showing the covariant nature of its chaotic behavior with respect to any choice of time variable. We construct the appropriate invariant measure for the system (which…
The onset of chaos in one-dimensional spinning particle models derived from pseudoclassical mechanical hamiltonians with a bosonic Duffing potential is examined. Using the Melnikov method, we indicate the presence of homoclinic…
The evolution of cosmological large-scale perturbations is described in terms of the concordant model based on the recent discovery of cosmic vacuum. It is demonstrated that the process is robustly controlled by a few epoch-independent…
We confirm a long-standing conjecture concerning shear-induced chaos in stochastically perturbed systems exhibiting a Hopf bifurcation. The method of showing the main chaotic property, a positive Lyapunov exponent, is a computer-assisted…
In recent years there has been a lot of interest in discussing frame dependences/independences of the cosmological perturbations under the conformal transformations. This problem has previously been investigated in terms of the covariant…
Anthropic principles were grown from the problem of fine tuning. Although anthropic principles have been discussed in cosmology for years there is no exact definition for fine tuning. Starting from the supposed similarity in the topologies…
The Lyapunov exponent characterizes an exponential growth rate of the difference of nearby orbits. A positive Lyapunov exponent is a manifestation of chaos. Here, we propose the Lyapunov pair, which is based on the generalized Lyapunov…
This paper studies distributional chaos in non-autonomous discrete systems generated by given sequences of maps in metric spaces. In the case that the metric space is compact, it is shown that a system is Li-Yorke{\delta}-chaotic if and…
We present new results of numerical simulations for driven vortex lattices in presence of random disorder at zero temperature. We show that the plastic dynamics of vortices display dissipative chaos. Intermittency "routes to chaos" have…
We investigate the properties of motion in a map model derived from a galactic Hamiltonian made up of perturbed elliptic oscillators. The phase space portrait is obtained in all three different cases using the map and numerical integration…
We investigate the interplay of collective and chaotic motion in a classical self-bound N-body system with two-body interactions. This system displays a hierarchy of three well separated time scales that govern the onset of chaos, damping…
We use the Melnikov integral method to prove that the Hamiltonian flow on the zero-energy manifold for the Kepler problem perturbed by a quadrupole moment is chaotic, irrespective of the perturbation being of prolate or oblate type. This…
Bianchi type IX, 'Mixmaster' universes are investigated in low-energy-effective-action string cosmology. We show that, unlike in general relativity, there is no chaos in these string cosmologies for the case of the tree-level action. The…
We consider a quantum many-body system - the Bose-Hubbard system on three sites - which has a classical limit, and which is neither strongly chaotic nor integrable but rather shows a mixture of the two types of behavior. We compare quantum…
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…
