Many biological ecosystems exhibit chaotic behavior, demonstrated either analytically using parameter choices in an associated dynamical systems model or empirically through analysis of experimental data. In this paper, we use existing software tools (COPASI, R) to explore dynamical systems and uncover regions with positive Lyapunov exponents where thus chaos exists. We evaluate the ability of the software’s optimization algorithms to find these positive values with several dynamical systems used to model biological populations. The algorithms have been able to identify parameter sets which lead to positive Lyapunov exponents, even when those exponents lie in regions with small support. For one of the examined systems, we observed that positive Lyapunov exponents were not uncovered when executing a search over the parameter space with small spacings between values of the independent variables.

AbstractWe consider in this note smooth dynamical systems equipped with smooth invariant affine connections and show that, under a pinching condition on the Lyapunov exponents, certain invariant tensor fields are parallel. We then apply this result to a problem of rigidity of geodesic flows for Riemannian manifolds with negative curvature.

AbstractWe study the Hausdorff dimension for Lyapunov exponents for a class of interval maps which includes several non-hyperbolic situations. We also analyze the level sets of points with given lower and upper Lyapunov exponents and, in particular, with zero lower Lyapunov exponent. We prove that the level set of points with zero exponent has full Hausdorff dimension, but carries no topological entropy.

A connection between dynamical systems and network theory is outlined based on a mapping of the dynamics into a discrete probabilistic process, whereby the phase space is partitioned into finite size cells. It is found that the connectivity patterns of networks generated by deterministic systems can be related to the indicators of the dynamics such as local Lyapunov exponents. The procedure is extended to networks generated by stochastic processes.
