Recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis have become popular in the last two decades. Recurrence based methods have on the one hand a deep foundation in the theory of dynamical systems and are on the other hand powerful tools for the investigation of a variety of problems. The increasing interest encompasses the growing risk of misuse and uncritical application of these methods. Therefore, we point out potential problems and pitfalls related to different aspects of the application of recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis.

The paper examines the dynamic properties of bistable cross-shaped laminate plates for broadband energy harvesting applications by converting mechanical vibration energy into the electrical power output. Bistable laminates plates coupled to piezoelectric transducers were excited by application of harmonic excitations and exhibited a range of vibration patterns. The vibration patterns included single-well oscillations and snap-through vibrations of both periodic and chaotic character; such vibration patterns led to a different power output. Classical spectral analysis of measured voltage, displacement and velocity time histories indicated the presence of a variety of nonlinear and chaotic phenomena. As a result, an analysis of the measured displacement and voltage time histories was carried out with the use of the Recurrence Plots and the Recurrence Quantification Analysis methods. The Recurrence Plots method was used for detection of qualitative changes in the dynamic behaviour of the non-linear harvesting system. In order to facilitate interpretation of piezoelectric voltage and laminate displacement, a detailed analysis using Recurrence Plots, Recurrence Quantification Analysis was employed.


The Recurrence plots (RPs) have been introduced in several different scientific and medical disciplines. The main purpose of recurrence plot is used to of identify the higher dimensional phase space trajectories. RPs are purely graphically representation which have been designed for the detection of hidden dynamical patterns and non-linearity present in the data, the evaluation of error which is caused by observational noise can be done by Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA). RQA method is initially used to minimize the error present in the given signals. RQA method is a basically a technique for the analysis of nonlinear data to quantify the number and duration of a dynamical systems. The recurrence plot is used for time series domain for multidimensional signal also. Recurrence is the property of non-stationary and dynamical system to characteristics the time series analysis in phase space trajectories. Recurrence Quantification Analysis is used to derive from recurrence plots, which are based upon distances matrices of time series.

Recurrence plot and recurrence quantification analysis are used to analyze different features of gravitational wave signals. Firstly, the appropriate delay time and embedding dimension are respectively estimated by methods of the C_C method. One dimension time series of gravitational wave is extended to high dimension phase space by employing phase space reconstruction for studying the movement characteristic of neighboring points in time series. Then the recurrence plots of different gravitational wave signals are implemented intuitively and qualitatively analyzing different features of gravitational wave signals. Different nonlinear characteristic parameters are calculated by recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) methods, such as recurrence rate, recurrence entropy, determinism rate and stratification, based on which the features of different gravitational wave signals can be well analyzed quantitatively.

We investigated how the construction of the Sobradinho dam and reservoir affected the daily streamflow of the São Francisco River, using the method of Recurrence plot (RP) and Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) which serves to visualize and quantify the recurrences of the states in the phase space of the dynamic system. We analyzed daily streamflow time series recorded in the fluviometric station Juazeiro that is located downstream of the Sobradinho dam, for the periods before (1943-1972) and after (1980-2009) the dam construction. We observed that in the natural regime, before the dam construction, the streamflow dynamics shows characteristics of periodic and quasi-periodic process, indicated by the checkerboard patterns in RP. After the dam construction, streamflow dynamics exhibit sudden changes indicated by white bands in RP, and become less predictable, less complex, and remain s in certain laminar states for shorter periods, indicated by the decrease of the values of RQA parameters.

This study aimed to evaluate a lie-detection system by nonlinear analysis of electrooculography (EOG) signals in the polygraph test. The physiological signals such as photoplethysmography signal, electrodermal response, respiratory changes as well as EOG signal were recorded based on a Control Question Test (CQT). Three psychophysiological signals were evaluated based on the extracted features in the seven-position numerical scoring. The dynamics of EOG signals in subjects that had a total negative score were analyzed by recurrence quantification analysis (RQA). The six values of RQA were calculated to analyze the EOG signals in relevant questions compared to other questions. A one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons was performed to evaluate the extracted variables in different questions. Eleven subjects had a total score of [Formula: see text]2 and less, so the EOG signals of these subjects were evaluated. Recurrence plots (RPs) of EOG signals showed clear differences in the two types of questions. The recurrence quantification analysis of vertical EOG signal indicated that [Formula: see text] and determinism (DET) values decreased significantly for relevant questions compared to other questions. Moreover, a significant decrease was observed in all RQA parameters except RR for the horizontal EOG signal. The differences of EOG signals in relevant questions observed using RPs and RQA were possibly related to the underlying changes in rapid eye movement due to the stress. The results of this study illustrate that the RQA technique is well suited to analyze the EOG signals in the detection of deception.

Cycle-to-cycle variations of maximum pressure in a diesel engine are studied by using the methods of recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis. The pressure variations are found to exhibit strong periodicities in low frequency bands and intermittent oscillations at higher frequencies. The results are confirmed by wavelet analysis.

In this paper, we proposed multiscale cross-recurrence quantification analysis (MSCRQA) method to analyze the dynamic states of two time series at different time scales. We apply this method to model system (two coupled van der Pol oscillators) and real-world system (SSEC and SZSE). It demonstrates that the MSCRQA can show richer and more recognizable information compared with single time scale. The state of dynamics is different under different time scales. MSCRQA method shows another multiscale perspective to fully mine more hidden internal dynamic information of a time series. This method may provide another method reference for practical application to better explore the laws of the real world.
