We explore the effect of a system’s symmetries on fidelity decay behavior. Chaos-like exponential fidelity decay behavior occurs in non-chaotic systems when the system possesses symmetries and the applied perturbation is not tied to a classical parameter. Similar systems without symmetries exhibit faster-than-exponential decay under the same type of perturbation. This counter-intuitive result, ...

In this paper, chaotic behavior study of a five-cells chopper when it is associated to a nonlinear load is reported. The model of such system is described by a piece-wise smooth six dimensional non-autonomous system. Then, some basic dynamical properties, such as Poincaré mapping, first return map and continuous spectrum are investigated to highlight the main characteristic of this particular c...

When a low-dimensional chaotic attractor is embedded in a three-dimensional space its topological properties are embedding-dependent. We show that there are just three topological properties that depend on the embedding: Parity, global torsion, and knot type. We discuss how they can change with the embedding. Finally, we show that the mechanism that is responsible for creating chaotic behavior ...

The systems of chaotic billiards revealed a well developed chaotic behavior. Despite its good characteristics, these systems have not yet been applied to the cryptography; among the reasons is the difficulty of expressing the equation of particle motion in an explicit form. In this work, we took advantage the properties offered by the random walks and unpredictability of two particles moving in...

We investigate the effects of temperature on complexity features of chaotic electrochemical oscillations using the anodic electrodissolution of nickel in sulfuric acid. The precision of the "period" of chaotic oscillation is characterized by phase diffusion coefficient (D). It is shown that reduced phase diffusion coefficient (D/frequency) exhibits Arrhenius-type dependency on temperature with ...

The game of Plinko, as seen on the CBS television show The Price Is Right, demonstrates rich chaotic dynamics as evidenced by a strong sensitivity to initial conditions. This behavior can be readily observed by watching repeated runs of the Plinko puck and noting the final location of the puck once it has passed through the peg lattice: despite the fact that many runs often start nearly co-loca...

The system of equations introduced by Lorenz to model turbulent convective flow is studied here for Rayleigh numbers r somewhat smaller than the critical value required for sustained chaotic behavior. In this regime the system is found to exhibit transient chaotic behavior. Some statistical properties of this transient chaos are examined numerically. A mean decay time from chaos to steady flow ...

Constant current injection with superimposed periodic inhibition gives rise to phase locking as well as chaotic activity in rat neocortical neurons. Here we compare the behavior of a leaky integrate-and-fire neural model with that of a biophysically realistic model of the rat neuron to determine which membrane properties influence the response to such stimuli. We find that only the biophysical ...

We report experimental and numerical results on noise-enhanced synchronization of two coupled chaotic oscillators. Enhanced synchronization is achieved through superimposing small-amplitude Gaussian noise on a common system parameter of the two chaotic oscillators. A resonancelike behavior is found: at an optimum level of noise, maximum synchronization is attained. The simulations show that the...
