Transition to Turbulence in Coupled Maps on Hierarchical Lattices
نویسنده
چکیده
General hierarchical lattices of coupled maps are considered as dynamical systems. These models may describe many processes occurring in heterogeneous media with tree-like structures. The transition to turbulence via spatiotemporal intermittency is investigated for these geometries. Critical exponents associated to the onset of turbulence are calculated as functions of the parameters of the systems. No evidence of nontrivial collective behavior is observed in the global quantity used to characterize the spatiotemporal dynamics. email: [email protected] Typeset using REVTEX 1

Periodic orbit theory of two coupled Tchebyscheff maps
Coupled map lattices have been widely used as models in several fields of physics, such as chaotic strings, turbulence, and phase transitions, as well as in other disciplines, such as biology (ecology, evolution) and information processing. This paper investigates properties of periodic orbits in two coupled Tchebyscheff maps. Then zeta function cycle expansions are used to compute dynamical av...
متن کاملSolvable model for spatiotemporal chaos
The study of temporal chaos in low-dimensional systems, some of which can be described by low-dimensional maps @1,2#, was extremely beneficial for the understanding of turbulence. In 1984 coupled map lattices ~CMLs! were introduced into the physical literature as a tool for studying spatiotemporal chaos in spatially extended, i.e., highdimensional systems @3#. They consist of spatially coupled ...
متن کاملFirst-order synchronization transition in locally coupled maps.
We study several diffusively coupled chaotic maps on periodic d -dimensional square lattices. Even and odd sublattices are updated alternately, introducing an effective delay. As the coupling strength is increased, the system undergoes a first-order phase transition from a multistable to a synchronized phase. At the transition point, the largest Lyapunov exponent of the system changes sign cont...

We numerically demonstrate that collective bifurcations in two-dimensional lattices of locally coupled logistic maps share most of the defining features of equilibrium second-order phase transitions. Our simulations suggest that these transitions between distinct collective dynamical regimes belong to the universality class of Miller and Huse model with synchronous update [Marcq et al., Phys. R...
متن کاملEFFECT OF THE NEXT-NEAREST NEIGHBOR INTERACTION ON THE ORDER-DISORDER PHASE TRANSITION
In this work, one and two-dimensional lattices are studied theoretically by a statistical mechanical approach. The nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions are both taken into account, and the approximate thermodynamic properties of the lattices are calculated. The results of our calculations show that: (1) even though the next-nearest neighbor interaction may have an insignificant ef...
