We consider the effects of parametric perturbation on the onset of chaos in different dynamical systems. Favoring or suppression of chaos was observed depending on the phase or the frequency of the periodic perturbation. A lowering of the threshold of chaos was observed in an electronic device simulating a Josephson-Junction model and the suppression of chaos was obtained in a bistable mechanic...

Many systems in nature are governed by a large number of agents that interact nonlinearly through complex feedback loops. When the networks are sufficiently large and interconnected, they typically exhibit self-organization and chaos. This paper examines the prevalence and degree of chaos on large unweighted recurrent networks of ordinary differential equations with sigmoidal nonlinearities and...

Chaos based communications have drawn increasing attention over the past years. Chaotic signals are derived from non-linear dynamic systems. They are aperiodic, broadband and deterministic signals that appear random in the time domain. Because of these properties, chaotic signals have been proposed to generate spreading sequences for wide-band secure communication recently. Like conventional DS...

a r t i c l e i n f o Current mathematical models in building research have been limited in most studies to linear dynamics systems. A literature review of past studies investigating chaos theory approaches in building simulation models suggests that as a basis chaos model is valid and can handle the increasing complexity of building systems that have dynamic interactions among all the distribu...

There exist several trials to describe chaos appeared in classical or quantum dynamical systems [?]. One of the present authors introduced Information Dynamics(ID for short) [18] as a frame to discuss complexity and chaos appeared in various fields, in which he tried to find a common basis by synthesizing the state change (dynamics) and the complexity associated with dynamical systems. Since th...

It is well known that most conventional control methods and many special techniques can be used for chaos control [Chen & Dong, 1998] whether the purpose is to reduce “bad” chaos or to introduce “good” chaos. Numerous control methodologies have been proposed, developed, tested and applied. Due to its great potential in nontraditional applications such as those found within the context of physic...

Interrelations between dynamical and statistical laws in physics, on the one hand, and between the classical and quantum mechanics, on the other hand, are discussed with emphasis on the new phenomenon of dynamical chaos. The principal results of the studies into chaos in classical mechanics are presented in some detail, including the strong local instability and robustness of the motion, contin...

By numerically simulating the Bray-Liebhafsky (BL) reaction (the hydrogen peroxide decomposition in the presence of hydrogen and iodate ions) in a continuously fed well stirred tank reactor (CSTR), we find "structured" types of chaos emerging in regular order with respect to flow rate as the control parameter. These chaotic "structures" appear between each two successive periodic states, and ha...

The effect of the shape of six different periodic forces and second periodic forces on the onset of horseshoe chaos are studied both analytically and numerically in a Duffing oscillator. The external periodic forces considered are sine wave, square wave, symmetric saw-tooth wave, asymmetric saw-tooth wave, rectified sine wave, and modulus of sine wave. An analytical threshold condition for the ...

Introduction: Based on Voyager imaging of Jupiter’s moon Europa, Lucchita and Soderblom [1] classified the surface of this icy satellite into two major terrain types: plains and mottled terrain. Mottled terrain was defined as consisting of isolated small spots, hummocky topography, and sometimes broken-up lineae. One of the primary goals of the Galileo mission was to determine the origin and pa...
