Metamorphosis of chaotic saddle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chaotic saddles are nonattracting dynamical invariant sets that can lead to a variety of physical phenomena. We report Ž . our finding and analysis of a type of discontinuous global bifurcation metamorphosis of chaotic saddle that occurs in high-dimensional chaotic systems with an invariant manifold. A metamorphosis occurs when a chaotic saddle, lying in the manifold, loses stability with respect to perturbations transverse to the invariant manifold. The fractal dimension of the chaotic saddle increases abruptly through the bifurcation. We illustrate our finding by using a system of coupled maps. q 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Edge of chaos and genesis of turbulence.
The edge of chaos is analyzed in a spatially extended system, modeled by the regularized long-wave equation, prior to the transition to permanent spatiotemporal chaos. In the presence of coexisting attractors, a chaotic saddle is born at the basin boundary due to a smooth-fractal metamorphosis. As a control parameter is varied, the chaotic transient evolves to well-developed transient turbulenc...
متن کاملThe Chaotic Saddle in the Lozi Map, Autonomous and Nonautonomous Versions
In this paper, we prove the existence of a chaotic saddle for a piecewise-linear map of the plane, referred to as the Lozi map. We study the Lozi map in its orientation and area preserving version. First, we consider the autonomous version of the Lozi map to which we apply the Conley–Moser conditions to obtain the proof of a chaotic saddle. Then we generalize the Lozi map on a nonautonomous ver...
متن کاملTopology of high-dimensional chaotic scattering
We investigate Hamiltonian chaotic scattering in physically realistic three-dimensional potentials. We find that the basin topology of the scattering dynamics can undergo a metamorphosis from being totally disconnected to being connected as a system parameter, such as the particle energy, is varied through a critical value. The dynamical origin of the metamorphosis is investigated, and the topo...
متن کاملDynamics of coding in communicating with chaos
Recent work has considered the possibility of utilizing symbolic representations of controlled chaotic orbits for communicating with chaotically behaving signal generators. The success of this type of nonlinear digital communication scheme relies on partitioning the phase space properly so that a good symbolic dynamics can be defined. A central problem is then how to encode an arbitrary message...
متن کاملApproximating chaotic saddles for delay differential equations.
Chaotic saddles are unstable invariant sets in the phase space of dynamical systems that exhibit transient chaos. They play a key role in mediating transport processes involving scattering and chaotic transients. Here we present evidence (long chaotic transients and fractal basins of attraction) of transient chaos in a "logistic" delay differential equation. We adapt an existing method (stagger...
