Let $\Phi$ be a quasi-periodically forced quadratic map, where the rotation constant $\omega$ is a Diophantine irrational. A strange non-chaotic attractor (SNA) is an invariant (under $\Phi$) attracting graph of a nowhere continuous…
We introduce a ``spatial'' Lyapunov exponent to characterize the complex behavior of non chaotic but convectively unstable flow systems. This complexity is of spatial type and is due to sensitivity to the boundary conditions. We show that…
Time-periodic solitons of the parametrically driven damped nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation are obtained as solutions of the boundary-value problem on a two-dimensional spatiotemporal domain. We follow the transformation of the periodic…
The dependence of the Lyapunov exponent on the closeness parameter, $\epsilon$, in tangent bifurcation systems is investigated. We study and illustrate two averaging procedures for defining Lyapunov exponents in such systems. First, we…

We study the dynamics of nonlinear random walks on complex networks. We investigate the role and effect of directed network topologies on long-term dynamics. While a period-doubling bifurcation to alternating patterns occurs at a critical…
We examine a model system where attractors may consist of a heteroclinic cycle between chaotic sets; this `cycling chaos' manifests itself as trajectories that spend increasingly long periods lingering near chaotic invariant sets…
An account is given of the features, of the kind pertaining to q-statistics, of the dynamics at the one-dimensional critical attractors associated to the three familiar routes to chaos, intermittency, period doubling and quasiperiodicity.…
In this paper, we focus on a numerical technique, the weighted Birkhoff average (WBA) to distinguish between four categories of dynamics for quasiperiodically-forced circle maps. Regular dynamics can be classified by rotation vectors, and…
We investigate the emergence of complex dynamics in a system of coupled dissipative kicked rotors and show that critical transitions can be understood via bifurcations of simple states. We study multistability and bifurcations in the single…
We show that long chaotic transients dominate the dynamics of randomly diluted networks of pulse-coupled oscillators. This contrasts with the rapid convergence towards limit cycle attractors found in networks of globally coupled units. The…
We study strange non-chaotic attractors in a class of quasiperiodically forced monotone interval maps known as pinched skew products. We prove that the probability of positive time-N Lyapunov exponents, with respect to the unique physical…
We uncover a route from low-dimensional to high-dimensional chaos in nonsmooth dynamical systems as a bifurcation parameter is continuously varied. The striking feature is the existence of a finite parameter interval of periodic attractors…
Structure of bifurcation diagram in the plane of parameters controlling period-doublings for the system of coupled logistic maps is discussed. The analysis is carried out by computing the charts of dynamical regimes and charts of Lyapunov…
The inner structure of the attractor appearing when the Varley-Gradwell-Hassell population model bifurcates from regular to chaotic behaviour is studied. By algebraic and geometric arguments the coexistence of a continuum of neutrally…
We recently described a specific type of attractors of two-dimensional discontinuous piecewise linear maps, characterized by two discontinuity lines dividing the phase plane into three partitions, related to economic applications. To our…
We study dynamics and bifurcations of two-dimensional reversible maps having non-transversal heteroclinic cycles containing symmetric saddle periodic points. We consider one-parameter families of reversible maps unfolding generally the…
We study two-dimensional, two-piece, piecewise-linear maps having two saddle fixed points. Such maps reduce to a four-parameter family and are well known to have a chaotic attractor throughout open regions of parameter space. The purpose of…
In diverse physical systems stable oscillatory solutions devolve into more complicated dynamical behaviour through border-collision bifurcations. Mathematically these occur when a stable fixed point of a piecewise-smooth map collides with a…
Conditions for the emergence of a statistical relationship between $T_r$, the chaotic transport (recurrence) time, and $T_L$, the local Lyapunov time (the inverse of the numerically measured largest Lyapunov characteristic exponent), are…
