/ Formation of a Fractal Basin Boundary in a , Forced Oscillator
نویسنده
چکیده
How does a fractal basin boundary arise in the sinusoidally forced Duffing’s equation? We describe how the backwards system flow deforms a local stable manifold into the fractal boundary. Parts of the boundary are labeled in a way related to their time of formation. The truncated fractal boundary produced by a burst of sinusoidal forcing is briefly considered. The approach supplements the insights provided by the usual Poincare map techniques.

The 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 کاملBasin bifurcation in quasiperiodically forced systems
In this paper we study quasiperiodically forced systems exhibiting fractal and Wada basin boundaries. Specifically, by utilizing a class of representative systems, we analyze the dynamical origin of such basin boundaries and we characterize them. Furthermore, we find that basin boundaries in a quasiperiodically driven system can undergo a unique type of bifurcation in which isolated ‘‘islands’’...
متن کاملMetamorphoses of basin boundaries in nonlinear dynamical systems.
A basin boundary can undergo sudden changes in its character as a system parameter passes through certain critical values. In particular, basin boundaries can suddenly jump in position and can change from being smooth to being fractal. e describe these changes ("metamorphoses") and f&nd that they involve certain special unstable orbits on the basin boundary which are aceessibIe from inside one ...
متن کاملCOMPARING NUMERICAL METHODS FOR THE SOLUTION OF THE DAMPED FORCED OSCILLATOR PROBLEM
In this paper, we present a comparative study between the Adomian decomposition method and two classical well-known Runge-Kutta and central difference methods for the solution of damped forced oscillator problem. We show that the Adomian decomposition method for this problem gives more accurate approximations relative to other numerical methods and is easier to apply.
متن کاملFluctuational Escape from Chaotic Attractors
Fluctuational transitions between two coexisting attractors are investigated. Two different systems are considered: the periodically driven nonlinear oscillator and the two-dimensional map introduced by Holmes. These two systems have smooth and fractal boundaries, respectively, separating their coexisting attractors. It is shown that, starting from a cycle embedded in the chaotic attractor, the...
