Book Description
This book is the first monograph devoted exclusively to strange nonchaotic attractors (SNA), recently discovered objects with a special kind of dynamical behavior between order and chaos in dissipative nonlinear systems under quasiperiodic driving. A historical review of the discovery and study of SNA, mathematical and physically-motivated examples, and a review of known experimental studies of SNA are presented. The main focus is on the theoretical analysis of strange nonchaotic behavior by means of different tools of nonlinear dynamics and statistical physics (bifurcation analysis, Lyapunov exponents, correlations and spectra, renormalization group). The relations of the subject to other fields of physics such as quantum chaos and solid state physics are also discussed. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Introduction (122 KB). Contents: Models; Rational Approximations; Stability and Instability; Fractal and Statistical Properties; Bifurcations in Quasiperiodically Forced Systems and Transitions to SNA; Renormalization Group Approach to the Onset of SNA in Maps with the Golden-Mean Quasiperiodic Driving. Readership: Graduate students and researchers in nonlinear science.

The Creation of Strange Non-Chaotic Attractors in Non-Smooth Saddle-Node Bifurcations
Author: Tobias H. Jger
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 082184427X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
The author proposes a general mechanism by which strange non-chaotic attractors (SNA) are created during the collision of invariant curves in quasiperiodically forced systems. This mechanism, and its implementation in different models, is first discussed on an heuristic level and by means of simulations. In the considered examples, a stable and an unstable invariant circle undergo a saddle-node bifurcation, but instead of a neutral invariant curve there exists a strange non-chaotic attractor-repeller pair at the bifurcation point. This process is accompanied by a very characteristic behaviour of the invariant curves prior to their collision, which the author calls `exponential evolution of peaks'.

Book Description
This book discusses the influence of quasiperiodic force on dynamical system. With this type of forcing, different types of attractors are possible, for example, strange nonchaotic attractors which have some unusual properties.The main part of this book is based on the authors' recent works, but it also presents the results which are the combined achievements of many investigators.

Chaos in Dynamical Systems
Author: Edward Ott
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521010849
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Over the past two decades scientists, mathematicians, and engineers have come to understand that a large variety of systems exhibit complicated evolution with time. This complicated behavior is known as chaos. In the new edition of this classic textbook Edward Ott has added much new material and has significantly increased the number of homework problems. The most important change is the addition of a completely new chapter on control and synchronization of chaos. Other changes include new material on riddled basins of attraction, phase locking of globally coupled oscillators, fractal aspects of fluid advection by Lagrangian chaotic flows, magnetic dynamos, and strange nonchaotic attractors. This new edition will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in science, engineering, and mathematics taking courses in chaotic dynamics, as well as to researchers in the subject.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
Author: Steven H. Strogatz
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429961111
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
This textbook is aimed at newcomers to nonlinear dynamics and chaos, especially students taking a first course in the subject. The presentation stresses analytical methods, concrete examples, and geometric intuition. The theory is developed systematically, starting with first-order differential equations and their bifurcations, followed by phase plane analysis, limit cycles and their bifurcations, and culminating with the Lorenz equations, chaos, iterated maps, period doubling, renormalization, fractals, and strange attractors.

Chaos in Ecology
Author: J. M. Cushing
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 9780121988760
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Chaos in Ecology is a convincing demonstration of chaos in a biological population. The book synthesizes an ecologically focused interdisciplinary blend of non-linear dynamics theory, statistics, and experimentation yielding results of uncommon clarity and rigor. Topics include fundamental issues that are of general and widespread importance to population biology and ecology. Detailed descriptions are included of the mathematical, statistical, and experimental steps they used to explore nonlinear dynamics in ecology. Beginning with a brief overview of chaos theory and its implications for ecology. The book continues by deriving and rigorously testing a mathematical model that is closely wedded to biological mechanisms of their research organism. Therefrom were generated a variety of predictions that are fundamental to chaos theory and experiments were designed and analyzed to test those predictions. Discussion of patterns in chaos and how they can be investigated using real data follows and book ends with a discussion of the salient lessons learned from this research program Book jacket.

Non-traditional Dynamics in Electronics: Theory and Practice
Author: Sergey N. Vladimirov
Publisher: Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA
ISBN: 1618960563
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The main theme of the proposed book is devoted to investigation of non-trivial problems of functioning of Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) electronic devices and systems in the various type dynamic instability modes. Both flows and maps (representations) are considered because the relation between maps and flows was repeatedly discussed in different publications. On the contrary, all systems described in the offered book for the first time are considered from the point of view either internal structure, or the description and analysis.
