Our fascination with chimera states stems partially from the somewhat paradoxical, yet fundamental trait of identical, and identically coupled, oscillators to split into spatially separated, coherently and incoherently oscillating groups. While the list of systems for which various types of chimeras have already been detected continues to grow, there is a corresponding increase in the number of...

We compute Lyapunov vectors (LVs) corresponding to the largest Lyapunov exponents in delay-differential equations with large time delay. We find that characteristic LVs, and backward (Gram-Schmidt) LVs, exhibit long-range correlations, identical to those already observed in dissipative extended systems. In addition we give numerical and theoretical support to the hypothesis that the main LV bel...

ABSTRACT Some measurable characteristic time-scales {ttrn} of transiting exoplanets are investigated in order to check preliminarily if their cumulative shifts over the years induced by post-Newtonian (pN) gravitoelectric (Schwarzschild) and gravitomagnetic (Lense–Thirring) components stellar gravitational field are, at least principle, measurable. Both primary (planet front star) secondary beh...

achieving optimal production cycle time for improving manufacturing processes is one of the common problems in production planning. during recent years, different approaches have been developed for solving this problem, but most of them assume that mean quality characteristic is constant over production run length and sets it on customer’s target value. however, the process mean may drift from ...

Traffic prediction systems can play an essential role in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Prediction and patterns comprehensibility of traffic characteristic parameters such as average speed, flow, and travel time could be beneficiary both in advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) and in ITS traffic control systems. However, due to their complex nonlinear patterns, these systems ...
