Stability and Anti-Chaos Control of Discrete Quadratic Maps

A dynamical system describes the consequence of the current state of an event or particle in future. The models expressed by functions in the dynamical systems are more often deterministic, but these functions might also be stochastic in some cases. The prediction of the system's behavior in future is studied with the analytical solution of the implicit relations (Differential, Difference equations) and simulations. A discrete-time first order system of equations with quadratic nonlinearity is considered for study in this work. Classical approach of stability analysis using Jury's condition is employed to analyze the system's stability. The chaotic nature of the dynamical system is illustrated by the bifurcation theory. The enhancement of chaos is performed using Cosine Chaotification Technique (CCT). Simulations are carried out for different parameter values.

Quadratic maps in two variables on arbitrary fields

Let F be a field of characteristic different from 2 and 3, and let V be a vector space of dimension 2 over F. The generic classification of homogeneous quadratic maps f : V → V under the action of the linear group of V , is given and efficient computational criteria to recognize equivalence are provided.

Entropy Monotonicity and Superstable Cycles for the Quadratic Family Revisited

The main result of this paper is a proof using real analysis of the monotonicity of the topological entropy for the family of quadratic maps, sometimes called Milnor’s Monotonicity Conjecture. In contrast, the existing proofs rely in one way or another on complex analysis. Our proof is based on tools and algorithms previously developed by the authors and collaborators to compute the topological entropy of multimodal maps. Specifically, we use the number of transverse intersections of the map iterations with the so-called critical line. The approach is technically simple and geometrical. The same approach is also used to briefly revisit the superstable cycles of the quadratic maps, since both topics are closely related.
