Dynamics of inhomogeneous one – dimensional coupled map lattices

چکیده
We study the dynamics of one–dimensional discrete models of one–component active medium built up of spatially inhomogeneous chains of diffusively coupled piecewise linear maps. The nonhomogeneities (" defects ") are treated in terms of parameter difference in the corresponding maps. Two types of space defects are considered: periodic and localized. We elaborate analytic approach to obtain the regions with the qualitatively different behaviour in the parametric space. For the model with space–periodic nonhomogeneities we found an exact boundary separating the regions of regular and chaotic dynamics. For the chain with a unique (localized) defect the numerical estimate is given. The effect of the nonhomegeneity on the global dynamics of the system is analyzed.

Breathers in inhomogeneous nonlinear lattices : an analysis via centre manifold reduction
We consider an infinite chain of particles linearly coupled to their nearest neighbours and subject to an anharmonic local potential. The chain is assumed weakly inhomogeneous, i.e. coupling constants, particle masses and on-site potentials can have small variations along the chain. We look for small amplitude and time-periodic solutions, and in particular spatially localized ones (discrete bre...
متن کاملWeak Synchronization of Chaotic Coupled Map Lattices
Phase synchronized states can emerge in the collective behavior of an ensemble of chaotic coupled map lattices, due to a mean field interaction. This type of interaction is responsible for synchronized chaotic global activity of the lattices, while the local activity of each map remains unsynchronized. The resulting collective dynamics is called “weak synchronization.” The transition to such a ...
متن کاملLow dimensional travelling interfaces in coupled map lattices
We study the dynamics of the travelling interface arising from a bistable piece-wise linear one-way coupled map lattice. We show how the dynamics of the interfacial sites, separating the two superstable phases of the local map, is finite dimensional and equivalent to a toral map. The velocity of the travelling interface corresponds to the rotation vector of the toral map. As a consequence, a ra...
متن کاملStability of Wavelengths and Spatiotemporal Intermittency in Coupled Map Lattices
In relation to spatiotemporal intermittency, as it can be observed in coupled map lattices, we study the stability of different wavelengths in competition. Introducing a two dimensional map, we compare its dynamics with the one of the whole lattice. We conclude a good agreement between the two. The reduced model also allows to introduce an order parameter which combines the diffusion parameter ...
متن کاملOne-dimensional dynamics for traveling fronts in coupled map lattices
Multistable coupled map lattices typically support traveling fronts, separating two adjacent stable phases. We show how the existence of an invariant function describing the front profile allows a reduction of the infinitely dimensional dynamics to a one-dimensional circle homeomorphism, whose rotation number gives the propagation velocity. The mode locking of the velocity with respect to the s...
