SUMMARY A continuous predator-prey model in which both sp...

A shifted or misaligned feedback loop gives rise to a two-point nonlocality that is the spatial analog of a temporal delay. Important consequences of this nonlocal coupling have been found both in diffusive and in diffractive systems, and include convective instabilities, independent tuning of phase and group velocities, as well as amplification, chirping and even splitting of localized perturb...

Abstract The rising demand for high scanning accuracy and resolution in sensors self-driving vehicles has led to the rapid development of parallelization light detection ranging (LiDAR) technologies. However, two major existing LiDAR categories—time-of-flight frequency-modulated continuous wave—the sources measurement principles currently used parallel face severe limitations from time- frequen...

Analyses and investigations on river flow behavior are major issues in design, operation and studies related to water engineering. Thus, recently the application of chaos theory and new techniques, such as chaos theory, has been considered in hydrology and water resources due to relevant innovations and ability. This paper compares the performance of chaos theory with Anfis model and discusses ...

Pulses having a temporal Lorentzian shape arise naturally from topological changes in flow trajectories or phase-space orbits associated with deterministic chaos. The pulses can appear as random intermittent events in the time series of observable quantities, and they are the cause of exponential frequency power spectra previously observed in magnetically confined plasmas and various nonlinear ...

We propose a new perspective on communication using chaos. A binary message is encoded into the temporally causal relations on a coupled maps ring of N chaotic nodes. From the analysis of temporal transfer entropy, the masked information can be recovered from transmitted signals at the receiver. The communication scheme has been demonstrated to be robust against external noise and some traditio...

Scaffolding proteins create order out of chaos. Multifunctional binding proteins such as the AKAPs (A-kinase-anchoring proteins) oversee the dynamic organization of signalling events by clustering activator proteins with kinases, phosphatases and phosphodiesterases and directing them toward their downstream effectors. This article will focus on the role of AKAPs in the spatial and temporal cont...

We show that two linearly polarized counterpropagating waves in a Kerr nonlinear medium with linear dispersion can exhibit multimode temporal instability. We find the boundary of the unstable regime and demonstrate that the fully developed instability results in self-sustained oscillations and the onset of chaos.

We present new tools allowing a formal classiication of cellular automata, i.e. trans-nite attraction and a kind of Hamming distance. We also investigate a class of complex aperiodic systems. This brings new insights in understanding spatio-temporal chaos for the class of discrete-time multi-dimensional systems.
