Measure of algorithmic complexity c(n) which has been suggested by Lempel and Ziv is one of important quantities for characterizing properties of nonlinear dynamical systems. The temporal variation of c(n) is investigated for time series generated by some physical processes. The relationship between algorithmic complexity and other characteristics of nonlinear systems is discussed.

We investigate the interplay between phase synchronization and amplitude synchronization in nonlinear dynamical systems. It is numerically found that phase synchronization intends to be established earlier than amplitude synchronization. Nevertheless, amplitude synchronization (or the state with large correlation between the amplitudes) is crucial for the maintenance of a high correlation between two time series. A breakdown of high correlation in amplitudes will lead to a desynchronization of two time series. It is shown that these unique features are caused essentially by the Hilbert transform. This leads to a deep concern and criticism on the current usage of phase synchronization.

Modeling real dynamical systems is an important challenge in many areas of science. Extracting governing equations of systems from their time-series is a possible solution for such a challenge. In this paper, we use the sparse recovery and dictionary learning to extract governing equations of a system with parametric basis functions. In this algorithm, the assumption of sparsity in the functions of dynamical equations is used. The proposed algorithm is applied to different types of discrete and continuous nonlinear dynamical systems to show the generalization ability of this method. On the other hand, transition from one dynamical regime to another is an important concept in studying real world complex systems like biological and climate systems. Lyapunov exponent is an early warning index. It can predict bifurcation points in dynamical systems. Computation of Lyapunov exponent is a major challenge in its application in real systems, since it needs long time data to be accurate. In this paper, we use the predicted governing equation to generate long time-series, which is needed for Lyapunov exponent calculation. So the proposed method can help us to predict bifurcation points by accurate calculation of Lyapunov exponents.

The question of whether a system is controllable or not is of prime importance in modern control theory and has been actively researched in recent years. While it is a solved problem for linear systems, it is still an open question when dealing with bilinear and nonlinear systems. In this paper, a controllability criterion is established based on a theorem by Carathe´odory. By associating a given dynamical system with a certain Pfaffian equation, it is argued that the system is controllable (uncontrollable) if its associated Pfaffian form is nonintegrable (integrable).

Analytical methods derived from nonlinear dynamical systems, complexity, and chaos theories offer researchers a framework for in-depth analysis of time series data. However, relatively few studies involving time series data obtained from psychological and behavioral research employ such methods. This paucity of application is due to a lack of general analysis frameworks for modeling time series data with strong nonlinear components. In this article, we describe the potential of Hankel alternative view of Koopman (HAVOK) analysis for solving this issue. HAVOK analysis is a unified framework for nonlinear dynamical systems analysis of time series data. By utilizing HAVOK analysis, researchers may model nonlinear time series data in a linear framework while simultaneously reconstructing attractor manifolds and obtaining a secondary time series representing the amount of nonlinear forcing occurring in a system at any given time. We begin by showing the mathematical underpinnings of HAVOK analysis and then show example applications of HAVOK analysis for modeling time series data derived from real psychological and behavioral studies.

The continuous multiresolution entropy, which combines advantages stemming from both classical entropy and wavelet analysis, has shown to be sensitive to dynamical complexity changes. The addition of classical statistical changes detection tools gives rise to a new tool that allows their automatic detection. In this paper, a new tool for the automatic detection of slight parameter changes in nonlinear dynamical systems from the analysis of the corresponding time series is proposed. The relevance of the approach, together with its robustness in the presence of moderate noise, is discussed in numerical simulations and it is applied to biological signals.

Nonlinear dynamical systems have been used in many disciplines to model complex behaviors, including biological motor control, robotics, perception, economics, traffic prediction, and neuroscience. While often the unexpected emergent behavior of nonlinear systems is the focus of investigations, it is of equal importance to create goal-directed behavior (e.g., stable locomotion from a system of coupled oscillators under perceptual guidance). Modeling goal-directed behavior with nonlinear systems is, however, rather difficult due to the parameter sensitivity of these systems, their complex phase transitions in response to subtle parameter changes, and the difficulty of analyzing and predicting their long-term behavior; intuition and time-consuming parameter tuning play a major role. This letter presents and reviews dynamical movement primitives, a line of research for modeling attractor behaviors of autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems with the help of statistical learning techniques. The essence of our approach is to start with a simple dynamical system, such as a set of linear differential equations, and transform those into a weakly nonlinear system with prescribed attractor dynamics by means of a learnable autonomous forcing term. Both point attractors and limit cycle attractors of almost arbitrary complexity can be generated. We explain the design principle of our approach and evaluate its properties in several example applications in motor control and robotics.

This introduction to nonlinear systems is written for students of fluid mechanics, so connections are made throughout the text to familiar fluid flow systems. The aim is to present how nonlinear systems are qualitatively different from linear and to outline some simple procedures by which an understanding of nonlinear systems may be attempted. Considerable attention is paid to linear systems in the vicinity of fixed points, and it is discussed why this is relevant for nonlinear systems. A detailed explanation of chaos is not given, but a flavor of chaotic systems is presented. The focus is on physical understanding and not on mathematical rigor.

Tsuda examines the potential contribution of nonlinear dynamical systems, with many degrees of freedom, to understanding brain function. We offer suggestions concerning symmetry and transients to strengthen the physiological motivation and theoretical consistency of this novel research direction: Symmetry plays a fundamental role, theoretically and in relation to real brains. We also highlight a distinction between chaotic “transience” and “itineracy.”
