The dynamical behavior of different Steffensen-type methods is analyzed. We check the chaotic behaviors alongside the convergence radii (understood as the wideness of the basin of attraction) needed by Steffensen-type methods, that is, derivative-free iteration functions, to converge to a root and compare the results using different numerical tests. We will conclude that the convergence radii (and the stability) of Steffensen-type methods are improved by increasing the convergence order. The computer programming package MATHEMATICAprovides a powerful but easy environment for all aspects of numerics. This paper puts on show one of the application of this computer algebra system in finding fixed points of iteration functions.

Little attention has been paid in the past to the effects of interunit transmission delays (representing a xonal and synaptic delays) ontheboundary of the basin of attraction of stable equilibrium points in neural networks. As a first step toward a better understanding of the influence of delay, we study the dynamics of a single graded-response neuron with a delayed excitatory self-connection. The behavior of this system is representative of that of a family of networks composed of graded-response neurons in which most trajectories converge to stable equilibrium points for any delay value. It is shown that changing the delay modifies the “location” of the boundary of the basin of attraction of the stable equilibrium points without affecting the stability of the equilibria. The dynamics of trajectories on the boundary are also delay dependent and influence the transient regime of trajectories within the adjacent basins. Our results suggest that when dealing with networks with delay, it is important to study not only the effect of the delay on the asymptotic convergence of the system but also on the boundary of the basins of attraction of the equilibria.

Abstract In this paper, we derive and analyze a new one-parameter family of modified Cauchy method free from second derivative for obtaining simple roots of nonlinear equations by using Padé approximant. The convergence analysis of the family is also considered, and the methods have convergence order three. Based on the family of third-order method, in order to increase the order of the convergence, a new optimal fourth-order family of modified Cauchy methods is obtained by using weight function. We also perform some numerical tests and the comparison with existing optimal fourth-order methods to show the high computational efficiency of the proposed scheme, which confirm our theoretical results. The basins of attraction of this optimal fourth-order family and existing fourth-order methods are presented and compared to illustrate some elements of the proposed family have equal or better stable behavior in many aspects. Furthermore, from the fractal graphics, with the increase of the value m of the series in iterative methods, the chaotic behaviors of the methods become more and more complex, which also reflected in some existing fourth-order methods.

Abstract Passive dynamic walking is an important development for walking robots, supplying natural, energy-efficient motions. In practice, the cyclic gait of passive dynamic prototypes appears to be stable, only for small disturbances. Therefore, in this paper we research the basin of attraction of the cyclic walking motion for the simplest walking model. Furthermore, we present a general method for deriving the equations of motion and impact equations for the analysis of multibody systems, as in walking models. Application of the cell mapping method shows the basin of attraction to be a small, thin area. It is shown that the basin of attraction is not directly related to the stability of the cyclic motion.

The principal objective of this work is to propose a fourth, eighth and sixteenth order scheme for solving a nonlinear equation. In terms of computational cost, per iteration, the fourth order method uses two evaluations of the function and one evaluation of the first derivative; the eighth order method uses three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of the first derivative; and sixteenth order method uses four evaluations of the function and one evaluation of the first derivative. So these all the methods have satisfied the Kung-Traub optimality conjecture. In addition, the theoretical convergence properties of our schemes are fully explored with the help of the main theorem that demonstrates the convergence order. The performance and effectiveness of our optimal iteration functions are compared with the existing competitors on some standard academic problems. The conjugacy maps of the presented method and other existing eighth order methods are discussed, and their basins of attraction are also given to demonstrate their dynamical behavior in the complex plane. We apply the new scheme to find the optimal launch angle in a projectile motion problem and Planck’s radiation law problem as an application.

The paper examines the appearance of on-off intermittency and riddled basins of attraction in a system of two coupled one-dimensional maps, each displaying type-III intermittency. The bifurcation curves for the transverse destablilization of low periodic orbits embeded in the synchronized chaotic state are obtained. Different types of riddling bifurcation are discussed, and we show how the existence of an absorbing area inside the basin of attraction can account for the distinction between local and global riddling as well as for the distinction between hysteric and non-hysteric blowout. We also discuss the role of the so-called mixed absorbing area that exists immediately after a soft riddling bifurcation. Finally, we study the on-off intermittency that is observed after a non-hysteric blowout bifurcaton.

A method for finding hidden chaotic attractors in the plasma system is presented. Using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, the stability distribution associated with two parameters is identified to find the region around the equilibrium points of the stable nodes, stable focus-nodes, saddles and saddle-foci for the purpose of investigating hidden chaos. A physical interpretation is provided of the stability distribution for each type of equilibrium point. The basin of attraction and parameter region of hidden chaos are identified by excluding the self-excited chaotic attractors of all equilibrium points. Homotopy and numerical continuation are also employed to check whether the basin of chaotic attraction intersects with the neighborhood of a saddle equilibrium. Bifurcation analysis, phase portrait analysis, and basins of different dynamical attraction are used as tools to distinguish visually the self-excited chaotic attractor and hidden chaotic attractor. The Casimir power reflects the error power between the dissipative energy and the energy supplied by the whistler field. It explains physically, analytically, and numerically the conditions that generate the different dynamics, such as sinks, periodic orbits, and chaos.

Applying some transformation to an autonomous system, we obtain a new system, which might keep the dynamical behavior of the original system or generate different dynamics. But this is often accompanied by the appearance of discontinuous points, where the vector field for the new system is not continuous at these points. We discuss the effects of the discontinuous points, and provide two methods to construct systems with any preassigned number of chaotic attractors via some transformation. The first one does not change the geometric structure of the attractors, since the discontinuous points are out of the basin of attraction. The second one might make the new systems have different dynamics, like multiscroll chaotic attractors, or infinitely many chaotic attractors. These results illustrate that both the equilibria and the discontinuous points affect the global dynamics.

This paper discusses methods for the adaptive reconstruction of the modes of multicomponent AM–FM signals by their time–frequency (TF) representation derived from their short-time Fourier transform (STFT). The STFT of an AM–FM component or mode spreads the information relative to that mode in the TF plane around curves commonly called ridges . An alternative view is to consider a mode as a particular TF domain termed a basin of attraction . Here we discuss two new approaches to mode reconstruction. The first determines the ridge associated with a mode by considering the location where the direction of the reassignment vector sharply changes, the technique used to determine the basin of attraction being directly derived from that used for ridge extraction. A second uses the fact that the STFT of a signal is fully characterized by its zeros (and then the particular distribution of these zeros for Gaussian noise) to deduce an algorithm to compute the mode domains. For both techniques, mode reconstruction is then carried out by simply integrating the information inside these basins of attraction or domains.

Prior modal stability analysis (Kojimaet al.,Phys. Fluids, vol. 27, 1984, pp. 19–32) predicted that a rising or sedimenting droplet in a viscous fluid is stable in the presence of surface tension no matter how small, in contrast to experimental and numerical results. By performing a non-modal stability analysis, we demonstrate the potential for transient growth of the interfacial energy of a rising droplet in the limit of inertialess Stokes equations. The predicted critical capillary numbers for transient growth agree well with those for unstable shape evolution of droplets found in the direct numerical simulations of Koh & Leal (Phys. Fluids, vol. 1, 1989, pp. 1309–1313). Boundary integral simulations are used to delineate the critical amplitude of the most destabilizing perturbations. The critical amplitude is negatively correlated with the linear optimal energy growth, implying that the transient growth is responsible for reducing the necessary perturbation amplitude required to escape the basin of attraction of the spherical solution.

In this paper, a simple family of one-point iterative schemes for approximating the solutions of nonlinear equations, by using the procedure of weight functions, is derived. The convergence analysis is presented, showing the sufficient conditions for the weight function. Many known schemes are members of this family for particular choices of the weight function. The dynamical behavior of one of these choices is presented, analyzing the stability of the fixed points and the critical points of the rational function obtained when the iterative expression is applied on low degree polynomials. Several numerical tests are given to compare different elements of the proposed family on non-polynomial problems.
