Chaotic Behaviour in Dynamical Systems
Traditional undergraduate program mes in physics rely on a number of sim plifications. One is the emphasis on linear systems; another is the belief that systems with a few degrees of freedom exhibit a deterministic behaviour, while those with many degrees of freedom can be treated using statistical methods only. Linear systems are attractive be cause they are conceptually simple and mathemat...
متن کاملFractal Population Ecology Theory
Abstract Purpose - The aim of this paper is to describe the population ecology theory through fractal thinking, an emergent human operating system that is creative, adaptive, healthy, and evolutionary; furthermore, a parallel is drawn between the population ecology model and the fractal structure. Top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...
متن کاملEmergence of chaotic behaviour in linearly stable systems
Strong nonlinear effects combined with diffusive coupling may give rise to unpredictable evolution in spatially extended deterministic dynamical systems even in the presence of a fully negative spectrum of Lyapunov exponents. This regime, denoted as “stable chaos”, has been so far mainly characterized by numerical studies. In this manuscript we investigate the mechanisms that are at the basis o...
متن کاملThe population ecology and social behaviour of taxonomists.
The ecology and social habits of taxonomists (those individuals who describe new species) have significant implications for understanding how many more species there are to discover (henceforth ‘missing species’). The diversity of different taxa is interesting in itself, and determining where missing species live will be vital in setting conservation priorities. We assembled readily available d...
متن کاملEvolutionary behaviour, trade-offs and cyclic and chaotic population dynamics.
Many studies of the evolution of life-history traits assume that the underlying population dynamical attractor is stable point equilibrium. However, evolutionary outcomes can change significantly in different circumstances. We present an analysis based on adaptive dynamics of a discrete-time demographic model involving a trade-off whose shape is also an important determinant of evolutionary beh...
