چکیده

2+1 gravity for spacetimes with topology R × T has been much studied. We add a description of how to extend these spacetimes across a Cauchy horizon into a region where the torus becomes Lorentzian. The result is a one parameter family of tori given by a geodesic in the ”Teichmüller space” of Lorentzian tori. We describe this in detail. We also point out that if the modular group is regarded as part of the gauge group then these spacetimes offer a nice toy model for the dynamics of Bianchi IX models; in the region where the tori are spacelike the dynamics is described exactly by a hyperbolic billiard. On the other hand the modular group acts ergodically on the Teichmüller space of Lorentzian tori. Email address: [email protected]. Supported by NFR. Email address: [email protected]

Chaotic Analysis and Prediction of River Flows

Analyses and investigations on river flow behavior are major issues in design, operation and studies related to water engineering. Thus, recently the application of chaos theory and new techniques, such as chaos theory, has been considered in hydrology and water resources due to relevant innovations and ability. This paper compares the performance of chaos theory with Anfis model and discusses ...

River Discharge Time Series Prediction by Chaos Theory

The application of chaos theory in hydrology has been gaining considerable interest in recent years.Based on the chaos theory, the random seemingly series can be attributed to deterministic rules. Thedynamic structures of the seemingly complex processes, such as river flow variations, might be betterunderstood using nonlinear deterministic chaotic models than the stochastic ones. In this paper,...

The Assessment of Applying Chaos Theory for Daily Traffic Estimation

Road traffic volumes in intercity roads are generally estimated by probability functions, statistical techniques or meta-heuristic approaches such as artificial neural networks. As the road traffic volumes depend on input variables and mainly road geometrical design, weather conditions, day or night time, weekend or national holidays and so on, these are also estimated by pattern recognition te...

CONTROL OF CHAOS IN A DRIVEN NON LINEAR DYNAMICAL SYSTEM

We present a numerical study of a one-dimensional version of the Burridge-Knopoff model [16] of N-site chain of spring-blocks with stick-slip dynamics. Our numerical analysis and computer simulations lead to a set of different results corresponding to different boundary conditions. It is shown that we can convert a chaotic behaviour system to a highly ordered and periodic behaviour by making on...

Analysis of chaotic vibration in a hexagonal centrifugal governor system

In this paper, the periodic, quasi periodic and chaotic responses of rotational machines with a hexagonal centrifugal governor are studied. The external disturbance is assumed as a sinusoid effect. By using the forth order Rung-Kutta numerical integration method, bifurcation diagram, largest Lyapunov exponent and Lyapunov dimension are calculated and presented to detect the critical controlling...
