C-type period-doubling transition in nephron autoregulation.
The functional units of the kidney, called nephrons, utilize mechanisms that allow the individual nephron to regulate the incoming blood flow in response to fluctuations in the arterial pressure. This regulation tends to be unstable and to generate self-sustained oscillations, period-doubling bifurcations, mode-locking and other nonlinear dynamic phenomena in the tubular pressures and flows. Us...
متن کاملBimodal oscillations in nephron autoregulation.
The individual functional unit of the kidney (the nephron) displays oscillations in its pressure and flow regulation at two different time scales: fast oscillations associated with a myogenic dynamics of the afferent arteriole, and slower oscillations arising from a delay in the tubuloglomerular feedback. We investigate the intra- and internephron entrainment of the two time scales. In addition...
متن کاملLacunarity and Period-doubling
We show that the deviation from power laws of the scaling of chaotic measures such as Lyapunov exponents and topological entropy is periodic in the logarithm of the distance from the accumulation of period doubling. Moreover, this periodic function is asymptotically universal for each measure (for functions in the appropriate universality class). This is related to the concept of lacunarity kno...
متن کاملPeriod-doubling cascades galore
Period-doubling cascades for the quadratic family are familiar to every student of elementary dynamical systems. Cascades are also often observed in both numerical and scientific experiments. Yet in all but the simplest cases, very little is known about why they exist. When there is one cascade, there are almost always infinitely many. Further, there has been no systematic way of distinguishing...
متن کاملChaotic Period Doubling
The period doubling renormalization operator was introduced by M. Feigenbaum and by P. Coullet and C. Tresser in the nineteen-seventieth to study the asymptotic small scale geometry of the attractor of one-dimensional systems which are at the transition from simple to chaotic dynamics. This geometry turns out to not depend on the choice of the map under rather mild smoothness conditions. The ex...
