Abstract We consider nonlinear dynamical systems with chaotic and hyperchaotic behaviour.We investigate the behaviour of the Hurst exponent at the transition from chaos to hyperchaos. A two-dimensional coupled logistic map is studied.

In this paper, the global transversality and tangency in two-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems are discussed, and the exact energy increment function (L-function) for such nonlinear dynamical systems is presented. The Melnikov function is an approximate expression of the exact energy increment. A periodically forced, damped Duffing oscillator with a separatrix is investigated as a sampled problem. The corresponding analytical conditions for the global transversality and tangency to the separatrix are derived. Numerical simulations are carried out for illustrations of the analytical conditions. From analytical and numerical results, the simple zero of the energy increment (or the Melnikov function) may not imply that chaos exists. The conditions for the global transversality and tangency to the separatrix may be independent of the Melnikov function. Therefore, the analytical criteria for chaotic motions in nonlinear dynamical systems need to be further developed. The methodology presented in this paper is applicable to nonlinear dynamical systems without any separatrix.

We investigate periodicity suppression in two-dimensional parameter-spaces of discrete- and continuous-time nonlinear dynamical systems, modeled respectively by a two-dimensional map and a set of three first-order ordinary differential equations. We show for both cases that, by varying the amplitude of an external periodic forcing with a fixed angular frequency, windows of periodicity embedded in a chaotic region may be totally suppressed.

Pynamical is an educational Python package for introducing the modeling, simulation, and visualization of discrete nonlinear dynamical systems and chaos, focusing on one-dimensional maps (such as the logistic map and the cubic map). Pynamical facilitates defining discrete one-dimensional nonlinear models as Python functions with just-in-time compilation for fast simulation. It comes packaged with the logistic map, the Singer map, and the cubic map predefined. The models may be run with a range of parameter values over a set of time steps, and the resulting numerical output is returned as a pandas DataFrame. Pynamical can then visualize this output in various ways, including with bifurcation diagrams, two-dimensional phase diagrams, three-dimensional phase diagrams, and cobweb plots. These visualizations enable simple qualitative assessments of system behavior including phase transitions, bifurcation points, attractors and limit cycles, basins of attraction, and fractals.
