A simple mathematical model is presented for Batesian mimicry, which occurs when a harmless species (mimic) is morphologically similar to another species (model) that is noxious or distasteful to predators, thus gaining a measure of protection. Although mathematical models for species interaction, such as predator-prey or competition, are well known, there is no similar literature on mimicry. The mathematical model developed here is a one-dimensional iterated map which has the full range of dynamic behavior present in the logistic map, depending on the values of its parameters. The dynamics ranges from a stable fixed point and stable cycles through chaotic dynamics achieved through a sequence of period doubling bifurcations.

AbstractWe present the effects of introducing results of 3D MHD simulations of buoyant magnetic fields in the solar convection zone in 2D mean-field Babcock-Leighton models. In particular, we take into account the time delay introduced by the rise time of the toroidal structures from the base of the convection zone to the solar surface. We find that the delays produce large temporal modulation of the cycle amplitude even when strong and thus rapidly rising flux tubes are considered. The study of a reduced model reveals that aperiodic modulations of the solar cycle appear after a sequence of period doubling bifurcations typical of non-linear systems. We also discuss the memory of such systems and the conclusions which may be drawn concerning the actual solar cycle variability.

The bifurcations and chaos in a system of two coupled sigmoidal neurons with periodic input are revisited. The system has no self-coupling and no inherent limit cycles in contrast to the previous studies and shows simple bifurcations qualitatively different from the previous results. A symmetric periodic solution generated by the periodic input underdoes a pitchfork bifurcation so that a pair of asymmetric periodic solutions is generated. A chaotic attractor is generated through a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations of the asymmetric periodic solutions. However, a symmetric periodic solution repeats saddle-node bifurcations many times and the bifurcations of periodic solutions become complicated as the output gain of neurons is increasing. Then, the analysis of border collision bifurcations is carried out by using a piecewise constant output function of neurons and a rectangular wave as periodic input. The saddle-node, the pitchfork and the period-doubling bifurcations in the coupled sigmoidal neurons are replaced by various kinds of border collision bifurcations in the coupled piecewise constant neurons. Qualitatively the same structure of the bifurcations of periodic solutions in the coupled sigmoidal neurons is derived analytically. Further, it is shown that another period-doubling route to chaos exists when the output function of neurons is asymmetric.

Abstract In this paper, a single-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation dynamic system, whose spring is composed of a magnetic repulsive force, is numerically analyzed. The numerical results indicate that a body levitated by magnetic force shows many kinds of vibrations upon adjusting the system parameters (viz., damping, excitation amplitude and excitation frequency) when the system is excited by the harmonically moving base. For a suitable combination of parameters, an aperiodic vibration occurs after a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations. Typical aperiodic vibrations that occurred after period-doubling bifurcations from several initial states are identified as chaotic vibration and classified into two groups by examining their power spectra, Poincare maps, fractal dimension analyses, etc.

The dynamic modes and bifurcations in a pulse control system of a heating unit, the condition of which is described through differential equations with discontinuous right–hand sides, have been studied. It has been shown that the system under research can demonstrate a great variety of nonlinear phenomena and bifurcation transitions, such as quasiperiodicity, multistable behaviour, chaotization of oscillations through a classical period–doubling bifurcations cascade and border–collision bifurcation.
