Explosions near Isolated Unstable Attractors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the set of explosive orbits in the region of attraction of an unstable attractor which is isolated in the sense of C.C. Conley. Sufficient conditions are given for the existence of explosions in certain parts of the region of attraction and for an unstable attractor to have finitely generated integral Alexander-Spanier cohomology groups. Finally, we study the case of singularities that are unstable attractors in flows on the 2-sphere.

Nonlinearity and Stochasticity in Population Dynamics
Theoretical studies of population dynamics and ecological interactions tend to focus on asymptotic attractors of mathematical models. Modeling and experimental studies show, however, that even in controlled laboratory conditions the attractors of mathematical models are likely to be insufficient to explain observed temporal patterns in data. Instead, one is more likely to see a collage of many ...
متن کاملPreserving Transients on Unstable Chaotic Attractors
In this chapter we present a controlling method which allows the preservation of transient chaotic evolution in the desired region of the phase space. The concept of practical stability for the perturbed chaotic attractors and the connection between practical and asymptotic stability is described. Our controlling procedure allows asymptotically unstable chaotic attractors to become practically ...
متن کاملUnstable Attractors: Existence and Robustness in Networks of Oscillators With Delayed Pulse Coupling
We consider unstable attractors: Milnor attractors A such that, for some neighbourhood U of A, almost all initial conditions leave U . Previous research strongly suggests that unstable attractors exist and even occur robustly (i.e. for open sets of parameter values) in a system modelling biological phenomena, namely in globally coupled oscillators with delayed pulse interactions. In the first p...
متن کاملPrevalence of unstable attractors in networks of pulse-coupled oscillators.
We present and analyze the first example of a dynamical system that naturally exhibits attracting periodic orbits that are unstable. These unstable attractors occur in networks of pulse-coupled oscillators, and become prevalent with increasing network size for a wide range of parameters. They are enclosed by basins of attraction of other attractors but are remote from their own basin volume suc...
متن کاملUnstable attractors induce perpetual synchronization and desynchronization.
Common experience suggests that attracting invariant sets in nonlinear dynamical systems are generally stable. Contrary to this intuition, we present a dynamical system, a network of pulse-coupled oscillators, in which unstable attractors arise naturally. From random initial conditions, groups of synchronized oscillators (clusters) are formed that send pulses alternately, resulting in a periodi...
