Sensitive Dependence on Parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
For a family of dynamical systems we define sensitive dependence on parameters in a way resembling Guckenheimer’s definition of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. While sensitive dependence on initial conditions tells us that if we know the initial condition only approximately then we cannot make deterministic predictions, sensitive dependence on parameters tells us that if we know the parameter value only approximately then we cannot make statistical predictions. We show that the family of logistic maps has sensitive dependence on parameters. Moreover, the long-time response of the system to the change of the parameter is practically independent of the immediate response.

Sensitive Dependence on Parameters of Continuous-time Nonlinear Dynamical Systems
The sensitive dependence of periodicity and chaos on parameters is investigated for three-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems. Previous works have found that noninvertible low-dimensional maps present power-law exponents relating the uncertainty between periodicity and chaos to the precision on the system parameters. Furthermore, the values obtained for these exponents have been conjectured...
متن کاملExtreme sensitive dependence on parameters and initial conditions in spatio-temporal chaotic dynamical systems
We investigate the sensitive dependence of asymptotic attractors on both initial conditions and parameters in spatio-temporal chaotic dynamical systems. Our models of spatio-temporal systems are globally coupled two-dimensional maps and locally coupled ordinary differential equations. It is found that extreme sensitive dependence occurs commonly in both phase space and parameter space of these ...
متن کاملThe Impact of Opium Dependence and Cigarette Smoking on Human Semen Parameters
Introduction: To examine the effects of opium dependence and cigarette smoking on semen quality and sperm parameters, the semen quality of men who abuse opiates and/or smoke cigarettes was investigated in a retrospective study. Methods: Male partners of 1325 infertile couples attending the infertility clinic for intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure were divided into non-smoking non-op...
متن کاملResponse latency of a motion-sensitive neuron in the fly visual system: dependence on stimulus parameters and physiological conditions
The response latency of an identified motion-sensitive neuron in the blowfly visual system strongly depends on stimulus parameters. The latency decreases with increasing contrast and temporal frequency of a moving pattern, but changes only little when the pattern size and thus the number of activated inputs is increased. The latency does not only depend on visual stimuli, but is also affected b...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis of waters at higher risk subjected to soil contaminations
Existence of heavy minerals in waters in some regions causes serious environmental pollution and affects the soil and water resources quality. Soil and waters sensitive to pollutants were investigated in this research, based on the degree of sensitivity of their parameters. The samples obtained from industrial and agricultural areas for identifying water tables at higher risk and display region...
