Derivatives and Constraints in Chaotic Flows: Asymptotic Behaviour and a Numerical Method
نویسنده
چکیده
In a smooth flow, the leading-order response of trajectories to infinitesimal perturbations in their initial conditions is described by the finite-time Lyapunov exponents and associated characteristic directions of stretching. We give a description of the second-order response to perturbations in terms of Lagrangian derivatives of the exponents and characteristic directions. These derivatives are related to generalised Lyapunov exponents, which describe deformations of phase-space elements beyond ellipsoidal. When the flow is chaotic, care must be taken in evaluating the derivatives because of the exponential discrepancy in scale along the different characteristic directions. Two matrix decomposition methods are used to isolate the directions of stretching, the first appropriate in finding the asymptotic behaviour of the derivatives analytically, the second better suited to numerical evaluation. The derivatives are shown to satisfy differential constraints that are realised with exponential accuracy in time. With a suitable reinterpretation, the results of the paper are shown to apply to the Eulerian framework as well. PACS numbers: 05.45.-a, 47.52.+j Submitted to: Nonlinearity

Lagrangian Derivatives in Chaotic Flows: Asymptotic Behaviour and a Numerical Method
Lagrangian coordinates describe a local frame moving and deforming with a flow, where by flow we mean either a physical flow or the solution of a smooth dynamical system. The rôle of chaos in these coordinates is reflected by a mean exponential stretching of fluid elements along characteristic directions. Many partial differential equations, such as the kinematic advection–diffusion equation, a...
متن کاملDifferential Constraints in Chaotic Flows on Curved Manifolds
The Lagrangian derivatives of finite-time Lyapunov exponents and the corresponding characteristic directions are shown to satisfy time-asymptotic differential constraints in chaotic flows. The constraints are valid for any metric tensor, and are realised with exponential accuracy in time. Some of these constraints were derived previously for chaotic systems on low-dimensional Euclidean spaces, ...

متن کاملGlobal Finite Time Synchronization of Two Nonlinear Chaotic Gyros Using High Order Sliding Mode Control
In this paper, under the existence of system uncertainties, external disturbances, and input nonlinearity, global finite time synchronization between two identical attractors which belong to a class of second-order chaotic nonlinear gyros are achieved by considering a method of continuous smooth second-order sliding mode control (HOAMSC). It is proved that the proposed controller is robust to m...
متن کاملCONTROL 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...
