Extreme phase sensitivity in systems with fractal isochrons

چکیده
Abstract Sensitivity to initial conditions is usually associated with chaotic dynamics and strange attractors. However, even systems with (quasi)periodic dynamics can exhibit it. In this context we report on the fractal properties of the isochrons of some continuous-time asymptotically periodic systems. We define a global measure of phase sensitivity that we call the phase sensitivity coefficient and show that it is an invariant of the system related to the capacity dimension of the isochrons. Similar results are also obtained with discrete-time systems. As an illustration of the framework, we compute the phase sensitivity coefficient for popular models of bursting neurons, suggesting that some elliptic bursting neurons are characterized by isochrons of high fractal dimensions and exhibit a very sensitive (unreliable) phase response.

Global Isochrons and Phase Sensitivity of Bursting Neurons
Phase sensitivity analysis is a powerful method for studying (asymptotically periodic) bursting neuron models. One popular way of capturing phase sensitivity is through the computation of isochrons—subsets of the state space that each converge to the same trajectory on the limit cycle. However, the computation of isochrons is notoriously difficult, especially for bursting neuron models. In [W. ...
متن کاملA Continuation Method for Computing Global Isochrons
Isochrons are foliations of phase space that extend the notion of phase of a stable periodic orbit to the basin of attraction of this periodic orbit. Each point in the basin of attraction lies on only one isochron and two points on the same isochron converge to the periodic orbit with the same phase. These properties allow one to define so-called phase models that reduce the dimension of an osc...

Isochrons are foliations of phase space that extend the notion of phase of a stable periodic orbit to the basin of attraction of this periodic orbit. Each point in the basin of attraction lies on only one isochron, and two points on the same isochron converge to the periodic orbit with the same phase. Global isochrons, that is, isochrons extended into the full basin of attraction rather than ju...
متن کاملThe Application of fractal dimension and morphometric properties of drainage networks in the analysis of formation sensibility in arid areas (Case Study, Yazd-Ardakan Basin)
Introduction: Many natural phenomena have many variables that make it difficult to find relationships between them using common mathematical methods. This problem, along with the impossibility of measuring all elements of nature, has led to a major evolution in the way of understanding and explaining phenomena. In this way, one can use the fractal geometry with the theory that many natural phen...
متن کاملIsostables, isochrons, and Koopman spectrum for the action-angle representation of stable fixed point dynamics
For asymptotically periodic systems, a powerful (phase) reduction of the dynamics is obtained by computing the so-called isochrons, i.e. the sets of points that converge toward the same trajectory on the limit cycle. Motivated by the analysis of excitable systems, a similar reduction has been attempted for non-periodic systems admitting a stable fixed point. In this case, the isochrons can stil...
