Map Lattices Coupled by Collisions: Hitting Time Statistics and Collisions Per Lattice Unit

Map Lattices Coupled by Collisions

We introduce a new coupled map lattice model in which the weak interaction takes place via rare “collisions”. By “collision” we mean a strong (possibly discontinuous) change in the system. For such models we prove uniqueness of the SRB measure and exponential space-time decay of correlations.

Extremal Coupled Map Lattices

We propose a model for co-evolving ecosystems that takes into account two levels of description of an organism, for instance genotype and phenotype. Performance at the macroscopic level forces mutations at the microscopic level. These, in turn, affect the dynamics of the macroscopic variables. In some regions of parameter space, the system self-organises into a state with localised activity and...

Hitting Time Statistics and Extreme Value Theory

We consider discrete time dynamical system and show the link between Hitting Time Statistics (the distribution of the first time points land in asymptotically small sets) and Extreme Value Theory (distribution properties of the partial maximum of stochastic processes). This relation allows to study Hitting Time Statistics with tools from Extreme Value Theory, and vice versa. We apply these resu...

On Circle Map Coupled Map Lattice

The circle map in one and two dimensions is studied. Both its stability and synchronization , using a bounded control and persistence, are discussed. This work is expected to be applicable in ecology where spatial effects are known to be important. Also, it will be relevant to systems where delay effects are not negligible.
