The Paradox of the Plankton: Oscillations and Chaos in Multispecies Evolution
Two theoretical ecologists have recently discovered that even under the simplest models of competition, three species are sufficient to generate permanent oscillations, and five species can generate chaos (Huisman & Weissing, 2001). We can show that these results carry over into genetic algorithm (GA) resource sharing after making one minor change in the “usual” sharing methods. We also bring t...
متن کاملFundamental unpredictability in multispecies competition.
One of the central goals of ecology is to predict the distribution and abundance of organisms. Here, we show that, in ecosystems of high biodiversity, the outcome of multispecies competition can be fundamentally unpredictable. We consider a competition model widely applied in phytoplankton ecology and plant ecology in which multiple species compete for three resources. We show that this competi...
متن کاملBiological competition: Decision rules, pattern formation, and oscillations.
Competition solves a universal problem about pattern processing by cellular systems. Competition allows cells to automatically retune their sensitivity to avoid noise and saturation effects. All competitive systems induce decision schemes that permit them to be classified. Systems are identified that achieve global pattern formation, or decision-making, no matter how their parameters are chosen...
متن کاملBroadband chaos generated by an optoelectronic oscillator.
We study an optoelectronic time-delay oscillator that displays high-speed chaotic behavior with a flat, broad power spectrum. The chaotic state coexists with a linearly stable fixed point, which, when subjected to a finite-amplitude perturbation, loses stability initially via a periodic train of ultrafast pulses. We derive approximate mappings that do an excellent job of capturing the observed ...
متن کاملChaos Generated by Switching Fractional Systems
We, for the first time, investigate the basic behaviours of a chaotic switching fractional system via both theoretical and numerical ways. To deeply understand the mechanism of the chaos generation, we also analyse the parameterization of the switching fractional system and the dynamics of the system’s trajectory. Then we try to write down some detailed rules for designing chaotic or chaos-like...
