Chaos, strange attractors, and fractal basin boundaries in nonlinear dynamics.

چکیده
Recently research has shown that many simple nonlinear deterministic systems can behave in an apparently unpredictable and chaotic manner. This realization has broad implications for many fields of science. Basic developments in the field of chaotic dynamics of dissipative systems are reviewed in this article. Topics covered include strange attractors, how chaos comes about with variation of a system parameter, universality, fractal basin boundaries and their effect on predictability, and applications to physical systems.

Fluctuational Escape from Chaotic Attractors
Fluctuational transitions between two coexisting attractors are investigated. Two different systems are considered: the periodically driven nonlinear oscillator and the two-dimensional map introduced by Holmes. These two systems have smooth and fractal boundaries, respectively, separating their coexisting attractors. It is shown that, starting from a cycle embedded in the chaotic attractor, the...
متن کاملStructure and evolution of strange attractors in non-elastic triangular billiards.
We study non-elastic billiard dynamics in an equilateral triangular table. In such dynamics, collisions with the walls of the table are not elastic, as in standard billiards; rather, the outgoing angle of the trajectory with the normal vector to the boundary at the point of collision is a uniform factor λ < 1 smaller than the incoming angle. This leads to contraction in phase space for the disc...
متن کاملNon-unique population dynamics: basic patterns
We review the basic patterns of complex non-uniqueness in simple discrete-time population dynamics models. We begin by studying a population dynamics model of a single species with a two-stage, two-habitat life cycle. We then explore in greater detail two ecological models describing host–macroparasite and host–parasitoid interspecific interactions. In general, several types of attractors, e.g....
متن کاملStrange Nonchaotic attractors
Aperiodic dynamics which is nonchaotic is realized on Strange Nonchaotic attractors (SNAs). Such attractors are generic in quasiperiodically driven nonlinear systems, and like strange attractors, are geometrically fractal. The largest Lyapunov exponent is zero or negative: trajectories do not show exponential sensitivity to initial conditions. In recent years, SNAs have been seen in a number of...
متن کاملA mathematical model of the metabolism of a cell. Self-organization and chaos
Using the classical tools of nonlinear dynamics, we study the process of selforganization and the appearance of the chaos in the metabolic process in a cell with the help of a mathematical model of the transformation of steroids by a cell Arthrobacter globiformis. We constructed the phase-parametric diagrams obtained under a variation of the dissipation of the kinetic membrane potential. The os...
