Observing the Symmetry of Attractors

چکیده
We show how the symmetry of attractors of equivariant dynamical systems can be observed by equivariant projections of the phase space. Equivariant projections have long been used, but they can give misleading results if used improperly and have been considered untrustworthy. We find conditions under which an equivariant projection generically shows the correct symmetry of the attractor.

Generalizations of a Result on Symmetry Groups of Attractors
The admissible symmetry groups of attractors for continuous equivariant mappings were classified in Ashwin and Melbourne [1994] and Melbourne, Dellnitz and Golubitsky [1993]. We consider extensions of these results to include attractors in fixed-point subspaces, attractors for equivariant diffeomorphisms and flows, and attractors in the presence of a continuous symmetry group. Our results lead ...
متن کاملSymmetry-increasing Bifurcation of Chaotic Attractors
Bifurcation in symmetric systems is typically associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking. That is, bifurcation is associated with new solutions having less symmetry. In this paper we show that symmetry-increasing bifurcation in the discrete dynamics of symmetric mappings is possible (and is perhaps generic). The reason for these bifurcations may be understood as follows. The existence of one...
متن کاملChaotic Attractors Near Forbidden Symmetry
We explore chaotic attractors with symmetries that are close to forbidden symmetries. In particular, attractors with planar crystallographic symmetry that contain an imperfect, but apparent, rotation that does not preserve the lattice of translations are constructed. This gives us a visual representation of patterns which have low symmetry type, but which contain additional, provocative structu...
متن کاملReconstructing attractors with higher order correlation
| We propose a novel criterion of deciding time delays for reconstructing attractors from a single variable time series. Our criterion considers higher order correlation functions, and nds the convergence values of the extrema. In order to see how our method works well, we analyze two numerical examples by observing the shapes of reconstructed attractors and calculating phase space continuities...
متن کاملDetection of symmetry of attractors from observations Part I Theory
Barany et al Physica D propose a method for determ ining the symmetries of attractors of equivariant systems by averaging cer tain classes of equivariant maps We use an idea in Barany et al to re cast de nitions of symmetry detectives assuming that we only have access to equivariant observations from the system Detecting from observations allows one to perform averaging in spaces that may have ...
