In a recent study [Rempel and Chian, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 014101 (2007)], it has been shown that nonattracting chaotic sets (chaotic saddles) are responsible for intermittency in the regularized long-wave equation that undergoes a transition to spatiotemporal chaos (STC) via quasiperiodicity and temporal chaos. In the present paper, it is demonstrated that a similar mechanism is present in the damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Prior to the onset of STC, a spatiotemporally chaotic saddle coexists with a spatially regular attractor. After the transition to STC, the chaotic saddle merges with the attractor, generating intermittent bursts of STC that dominate the post-transition dynamics.

Intermittent switchings between weakly chaotic (laminar) and strongly chaotic (bursty) states are often observed in systems with high-dimensional chaotic attractors, such as fluid turbulence. They differ from the intermittency of a low-dimensional system accompanied by the stability change of a fixed point or a periodic orbit in that the intermittency of a high-dimensional system tends to appear in a wide range of parameters. This paper considers a case where the skeleton of a laminar state L exists as a proper chaotic subset S of a chaotic attractor X, that is, S⊊X.

Finding critical exponents and parameter space for a family of dissipative two-dimensional mappings.

Chaos

December 2024

Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Câmpus de São João da Boa Vista, Av. Profa. Isette Corrêa Fontão, 505, 13876-750 São João da Boa Vista, SP, Brazil.

A family of dissipative two-dimensional nonlinear mappings is considered. The mapping is described by the angle and action variables and parameterized by ε controlling nonlinearity, δ controlling the amount of dissipation, and an exponent γ is a dynamic free parameter that enables a connection with various distinct dynamic systems. The Lyapunov exponents are obtained for different values of the control parameters to characterize the chaotic attractors.

Regime switching, the process where complex systems undergo transitions between qualitatively different dynamical states due to changes in their conditions, is a widespread phenomenon, from climate and ocean circulation, to ecosystems, power grids, and the brain. Capturing the mechanisms that give rise to isolated or sequential switching dynamics, as well as developing generic and robust methods for forecasting, detecting, and controlling them is essential for maintaining optimal performance and preventing dysfunctions or even collapses in complex systems. This Focus Issue provides new insights into regime switching, covering the recent advances in theoretical analysis harnessing the reduction approaches, as well as data-driven detection methods and non-feedback control strategies.

In this paper, we introduce a category of Novel Jerk Chaotic (NJC) oscillators featuring symmetrical attractors. The proposed jerk chaotic system has three equilibrium points. We show that these equilibrium points are saddle-foci points and unstable.

Shearless effective barriers to chaotic transport induced by even twin islands in nontwist systems.

Phys Rev E

October 2024

Department of Physics and Institute for Fusion Studies, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, United States.

For several decades now it has been known that systems with shearless invariant tori, nontwist Hamiltonian systems, possess barriers to chaotic transport. These barriers are resilient to breakage under perturbation and therefore regions where they occur are natural places to look for barriers to transport. Here we describe a kind of effective barrier that persists after the shearless torus is broken.
