Abstract Stochastic interrogation is an experimental method that uses transient trajectories starting at numerous pseudo-random initial conditions to obtain detailed information about the flow of a dynamical system in phase space. From this flow information, various global dynamical phenomena can be studied, such as the transition to complex basin boundaries, chaotic transients, and strange non-attracting sets. The existence of these features in turn allows the occurrence of a homoclinic bifurcation to be inferred, even when all attractors in a system are nonchaotic. In this paper, the validity of inferences made using the stochastic interrogation experimental method is checked with the aid of a numerical model, using theoretical predictions from Melnikov theory and direct computations of invariant manifolds.

Stochastic Interrogation

Stochastic interrogation is an experimental method that uses transient trajectories starting at nu merous pseudo-random initial conditions to obtain detailed information about the flow of a dynamical system in phase space. From this flow information, various global dynamical phenomena can be studied, such as the transition to complex basin boundaries, chaotic transients, and strange non-attracting sets. The existence of these features in turn allows the occurrence of a homoclinic bifurcation to be inferred, even when all attractors in a system are nonchaotic. In this paper, the validity of inferences made using the stochastic in terrogation experimental method is checked with the aid of a numerical model, using theoretical predictions from Melnikov theory and direct computations of invariant manifolds.

Basin Boundaries

This paper considers the effect of nonlinear dissipation on the basin boundaries of a driven two-well modified Rayleigh–Duffing oscillator where pure cubic, unpure cubic, pure quadratic and unpure quadratic nonlinearities are considered. By analyzing the potential, an analytic expression is found for the homoclinic orbit. The Melnikov criterion is used to examine a global homoclinic bifurcation and transition to chaos. Unpure quadratic parameter and parametric excitation amplitude effects are found on the critical Melnikov amplitude μ cr . Finally, the phase space of initial conditions is carefully examined in order to analyze the effect of the nonlinear damping, and particularly how the basin boundaries become fractalized.

Safe Condition

This study deals with an experimental and theoretical investigation of an electrically actuated micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS). The experimental nonlinear dynamics are explored via frequency sweeps in a neighborhood of the first symmetric natural frequency, at increasing values of electrodynamic excitation. Both the non-resonant branch, the resonant one, the jump between them, and the presence of a range of inevitable escape (dynamic pull-in) are observed. To simulate the experimental behavior, a single degree-of-freedom spring mass model is derived, which is based on the information coming from the experimentation. Despite the apparent simplicity, the model is able to catch all the most relevant aspects of the device response. This occurs not only at low values of electrodynamic excitation, but also at higher ones. Nevertheless, the theoretical predictions are not completely fulfilled in some aspects. In particular, the range of existence of each attractor is smaller in practice than in the simulations. This is because, under realistic conditions, disturbances are inevitably encountered (e.g. discontinuous steps when performing the sweeping, approximations in the modeling, etc.) and give uncertainties to the operating initial conditions. A reliable prediction of the actual (and not only theoretical) response is essential in applications. To take disturbances into account, we develop a dynamical integrity analysis. Integrity profiles and integrity charts are performed. They are able to detect the parameter range where each branch can be reliably observed in practice and where, instead, becomes vulnerable. Moreover, depending on the magnitude of the expected disturbances, the integrity charts can serve as a design guideline, in order to effectively operate the device in safe condition, according to the desired outcome.

Coupling Strengths

We consider star networks of chaotic oscillators, with all end-nodes connected only to the central hub node, under diffusive coupling, conjugate coupling and mean-field diffusive coupling. We observe the existence of chimeras in the end-nodes, which are identical in terms of the coupling environment and dynamical equations. Namely, the symmetry of the end-nodes is broken and coexisting groups with different synchronization features and attractor geometries emerge. Surprisingly, such chimera states are very wide-spread in this network topology, and large parameter regimes of moderate coupling strengths evolve to chimera states from generic random initial conditions. Further, we verify the robustness of these chimera states in analog circuit experiments. Thus it is evident that star networks provide a promising class of coupled systems, in natural or engineered contexts, where chimeras are prevalent.
