The chaotically driven circle map is considered as the simplest model of phase synchronization of a chaotic continuous-time oscillator by external periodic force. The phase dynamics is analyzed via phase-locking regions of the periodic cycles embedded in the strange attractor. It is shown that full synchronization, where all the periodic cycles are phase locked, disappears via the attractor-rep...

In systems that exhibit multistability, namely those that have more than one coexisting attractor, the basins of attraction evolve in specific ways with the creation of each new attractor. These multiple attractors can be created via different mechanisms. When an attractor is formed via a saddle-node bifurcation, the size of its basin increases as a power-law in the bifurcation parameter. In sy...

In this paper we discuss a four-dimensional autonomous circuit which includes one hysteresis element. This circuit is governed by two symmetric three dimensional linear equat ions which are connected to each other by hysteresis switchings. Then we can derive the two-dimensional return map and show the following novel results: 1) Fundamental bifurcation diagram from periodic attractor to hyperch...

Blowout bifurcation in chaotic dynamical systems occurs when a chaotic attractor, lying in some invariant subspace, becomes transversely unstable. We establish quantitative characterization of the blowout bifurcation by unstable periodic orbits embedded in the chaotic attractor. We argue that the bifurcation is mediated by changes in the transverse stability of an infinite number of unstable pe...

Results are reported concerning the transition to chaos in random dynamical systems. In particular, situations are considered where a periodic attractor coexists with a nonattracting chaotic saddle, which can be expected in any periodic window of a nonlinear dynamical system. Under noise, the asymptotic attractor of the system can become chaotic, as characterized by the appearance of a positive...

We introduce a mathematical model on the dynamics of demand and supply incorporating collectability and saturation factors. Our analysis shows that when the fluctuation of the determinants of demand and supply is strong enough, there is chaos in the demand-supply dynamics. Our numerical simulation shows that such a chaos is not an attractor (i.e. dynamics is not approaching the chaos), instead ...

We consider the convective Cahn–Hilliard equation with periodic boundary conditions as an infinite dimensional dynamical system and establish the existence of a compact attractor and a finite dimensional inertial manifold that contains it. Moreover, Gevrey regularity of solutions on the attractor is established and used to prove that four nodes are determining for each solution on the attractor...

This paper presents a theory for characterization of the blowout bifurcation by periodic orbits. Blowout bifurcation in chaotic systems occurs when a chaotic attractor, lying in some symmetric invariant subspace, becomes transversely unstable. We present an analysis and numerical results that indicate that the bifurcation is mediated by changes in the transverse stability of an infinite number ...

For a dynamical system described by a set of autonomous ordinary differential equations, an attractor can be a point, a periodic cycle, or even a strange attractor. Recently, a new chaotic system with only one stable equilibrium was described, which locally converges to the stable equilibrium but is globally chaotic. This paper further shows that for certain parameters, besides the point attrac...
