Abstract In nonstationary (NS) systems some control parameters (CPs) have the following forms: CP(t) = CP0 + ψ(t), where CP0 = const, and ψ(t) are arbitrary functions of t. Other arbitrary functions which play a pivotal role in the NS systems are the parameter functions ϕ(CP) = 0, CP = {CP1, CP2...CPn}. While the functions ψ(t) determine the time directions of the NS dynamical behavior, the functions ϕ(CP) = 0 determine the paths for the CPs to follow. The NS processes are permanently transient due to the functions ψ(t) and/or ϕ(CP) = 0, and for that reason, they can be extremely complex. Clearly then, it is essential to address the fundamental problems of cohesion and definitness of these processes. Using select examples, these issues have been studied in this presentation and have been resolved in positive. Specifically, the following have been demonstrated: (1) convergence (definitivness) of the NS logistic map and the softening Duffing oscillator to an NS limit motion (2) the appearance of a sequence of similar attractors for different NS bifurcations (3) the effects of different parameter paths, ϕ(CP) = 0, in the period doubling region of the Duffing oscillator (4) the effects of linear and cyclic paths in transition through the Ueda bifurcation regions. The results obtained show considerable complexity of the NS dynamic and chaotic responses (5) for exponential ψ(t), the Lorenz “weather” three-term model exhibit a periodic “window” in the chaotic range for an extended value of t. (6) the effects of different ψ(t) in the typical codimension one bifurcations (7) the ST chaos may be created or annihilated by injection of NS inputs (8) an efficient and fast stabilization, i.e., reduction of ST vibration to near the static equilibrium in a short time, can be accomplished by NS changes of the parameters of the system.

AbstractNoise can induce an inverse period-doubling transition and chaos. The effects of noise on each periodic orbit of three different period sequences are investigated for the logistic map. It is found that the dynamical behavior of each orbit, induced by an uncorrelated Gaussian white noise, is different in the mergence transition. For an orbit of the period-six sequence, the maximum of the probability density in the presence of noise is greater than that in the absence of noise. It is also found that, under the same intensity of noise, the effects of uncorrelated Gaussian white noise and exponentially correlated colored (Gaussian) noise on the period-four sequence are different.

This paper deals with the nonlinear fluid structure interaction (FSI) dynamics of a Dipteran flight motor inspired flapping system in an inviscid fluid. In the present study, the FSI effects are incorporated to an existing forced Duffing oscillator model to gain a clear understanding of the nonlinear dynamical behavior of the system in the presence of aerodynamic loads. The present FSI framework employs a potential flow solver to determine the aerodynamic loads and an explicit fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme to solve the structural governing equations. A bifurcation analysis has been carried out considering the amplitude of the wing actuation force as the control parameter to investigate different complex states of the system. Interesting dynamical behavior including period doubling, chaotic transients, periodic windows, and finally an intermittent transition to stable chaotic attractor have been observed in the response with an increase in the bifurcation parameter. Similar dynamics is also reflected in the aerodynamic loads as well as in the trailing edge wake patterns.

We study the local codimension one, two, and three bifurcations which occur in a recently proposed Van der Pol-Duffing circuit (ADVP) with parallel resistor, which is an extension of the classical Chua's circuit with cubic nonlinearity. The ADVP system presents a very rich dynamical behavior, ranging from stable equilibrium points to periodic and even chaotic oscillations. Aiming to contribute to the understand of the complex dynamics of this new system we present an analytical study of its local bifurcations and give the corresponding bifurcation diagrams. A complete description of the regions in the parameter space for which multiple small periodic solutions arise through the Hopf bifurcations at the equilibria is given. Then, by studying the continuation of such periodic orbits, we numerically find a sequence of period doubling and symmetric homoclinic bifurcations which leads to the creation of strange attractors, for a given set of the parameter values.

Bursting discharge is a ubiquitous behavior in neurons, and abundant bursting patterns imply many physiological information. There exists a closely potential link between bifurcation phenomenon and the number of spikes per burst as well as mixed-mode oscillations (MMOs). In this paper, we have mainly explored the dynamical behavior of the reduced Purkinje cell and the existence of MMOs. First, we adopted the codimension-one bifurcation to illustrate the generation mechanism of bursting in the reduced Purkinje cell model via slow–fast dynamics analysis and demonstrate the process of spike-adding. Furthermore, we have computed the first Lyapunov coefficient of Hopf bifurcation to determine whether it is subcritical or supercritical and depicted the diagrams of inter-spike intervals (ISIs) to examine the chaos. Moreover, the bifurcation diagram near the cusp point is obtained by making the codimension-two bifurcation analysis for the fast subsystem. Finally, we have a discussion on mixed-mode oscillations and it is further investigated using the characteristic index that is Devil’s staircase.

This paper studies the dynamics of a self-sustained electromechanical transducer. The stability of fixed points in the linear response is examined. Their local bifurcations are investigated and different types of bifurcation likely to occur are found. Conditions for the occurrence of Hopf bifurcations are derived. Harmonic oscillatory solutions are obtained in both nonresonant and resonant cases. Their stability is analyzed in the resonant case. Various bifurcation diagrams associated to the largest one-dimensional (1-D) numerical Lyapunov exponent are obtained, and it is found that chaos can appear suddenly, through period doubling, period adding, or torus breakdown. The extreme sensitivity of the electromechanical system to both initial conditions and tiny variations of the coupling coefficients is also outlined. The experimental study of̱the electromechanical system is carried out. An appropriate electronic circuit (analog simulator) is proposed for the investigation of the dynamical behavior of the electromechanical system. Correspondences are established between the coefficients of the electromechanical system model and the components of the electronic circuit. Harmonic oscillatory solutions and phase portraits are obtained experimentally. One of the most important contributions of this work is to provide a set of reliable analytical expressions (formulas) describing the electromechanical system behavior. These formulas are of great importance for design engineers as they can be used to predict the states of the electromechanical systems and respectively to avoid their destruction. The reliability of the analytical formulas is demonstrated by the very good agreement with the results obtained by both the numeric and the experimental analysis.

This paper presents a study of the nonlinear dynamic behavior a flying capacitor four-level three-cell DC-DC buck converter. Its stability analysis is performed and its stability boundaries is determined in the multi-dimensional paramertic space. First, the switched model of the converter is presented. Then, a discrete-time controller for the converter is proposed. The controller is is responsible for both balancing the flying capacitor voltages from one hand and for output current regulation. Simulation results from the switched model of the converter under the proposed controller are presented. The results show that the system may undergo bifurcation phenomena and period doubling route to chaos when some system parameters are varied. One-dimensional bifurcation diagrams are computed and used to explore the possible dynamical behavior of the system. By using Floquet theory and Filippov method to derive the monodromy matrix, the bifurcation behavior observed in the converter is accurately predicted. Based on justified and realistic approximations of the system state variables waveforms, simple and accurate expressions for these steady-state values and the monodromy matrix are derived and validated. The simple expression of the steady-state operation and the monodromy matrix allow to analytically predict the onset of instability in the system and the stability region in the parametric space is determined. Numerical simulations from the exact switched model validate the theoretical predictions.

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.

Abstract The autoparametric vibratory system consisting of a primary spring-mass-dashpot system coupled with a damped simple pendulum serves as an useful example of two degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems that exhibit complex dynamic behavior. It exhibits 1:2 internal resonance and amplitude modulated chaos under harmonic forcing conditions. First-order averaging studies of this system using AUTO and KAOS have yielded useful information about the amplitude dynamics of this system. Response curves of the system indicate saturation and the pitchfork bifurcation sets are found to be symmetric. The period-doubling route to chaotic solutions is observed. However questions about the range of the small parameter ε (a function of the forcing amplitude) for which the solutions are valid cannot be answered by a first-order study. Some observed dynamical behavior, like saturation, may not persist when higher-order nonlinear effects are taken into account. Second-order averaging of the system, using Mathematica (Maeder, 1991; Wolfram, 1991) is undertaken to address these questions. Loss of saturation is observed in the steady-state amplitude responses. The breaking of symmetry in the various bifurcation sets becomes apparent as a consequence of ε appearing in the averaged equations. The dynamics of the system is found to be very sensitive to damping, with extremely complicated behavior arising for low values of damping. For large ε second-order averaging predicts additional Pitchfork and Hopf bifurcation points in the single-mode response.

Abstract In this paper we make a description of the dynamics of a four-step procedure to control the dynamics of the logistic map. Some massive calculations are made for computing the topological entropy with prescribed accuracy. This provides us the parameter regions where the model has a complicated dynamical behavior. Our computations also show the dynamic Parrondo's paradox ``simple+simple=complex'', which should be taking into account to avoid undesirable dynamics.
