A novel generation method of chaotic attractor is introduced in this paper. The underlying mechanism involves a simple three-dimensional time-varying system with simple time functions as control inputs. Moreover, it is demonstrated by simulation that various attractor patterns are generated conveniently by adjusting suitable system parameters. The largest Lyapunov exponent of the system has been obtained.

This paper reports a hidden chaotic system without equilibrium point. The proposed system is studied by the software of MATLAB R2018 through several numerical methods, including Largest Lyapunov exponent, bifurcation diagram, phase diagram, Poincaré map, time-domain waveform, attractive basin and Spectral Entropy. Seven types of attractors are found through altering the system parameters and some interesting characteristics such as coexistence attractors, controllability of chaotic attractor, hyperchaotic behavior and transition behavior are observed. Particularly, the Spectral Entropy algorithm is used to analyze the system and based on the normalized values of Spectral Entropy, the state of the studied system can be identified. Furthermore, the system has been implemented physically to verify the realizability.

A chaotic analysis approach was applied to an earthquake time series recorded in the Japanese area in order to test the assumption that the earthquake process could be the manifestation of a chaotic low dimensional process. For the study of the seismicity we have used a time series consisting of time differences between two consecutive seismic events with magnitudes greater than 2.6. The results of our study show that the underlying mechanism, as expressed by the time series, can be described by low dimensional chaotic dynamics. The power spectrum of the time series shows a power law profile with two slopes, α=1.4 in the low frequency and α=0.05 in the high frequency regions, while the slopes of the correlation integrals show an apparent plateau at the scaling region, which saturates at the value D≈3.2. The largest Lyapunov exponent was found to be ≈0.9. The positive value of the largest Lyapunov exponent reveals strong sensitivity to initial conditions of the supposed earthquake dynamics.

Gait analysis is essential to identify accurate cause and knee condition from patients who display abnormal walking. Traditional linear tools can, however, mask the true structure of motor variability, since biomechanical data from a few strides during the gait have limitation to understanding the system. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a more precise dynamic method. The chaos analysis, a nonlinear technique, focuses on understanding how variations in the gait pattern change over time. Healthy eight subjects walked on a treadmill for 100 seconds at 60 Hz. Three dimensional walking kinematic data were obtained using two cameras and KWON3D motion analyzer. The largest Lyapunov exponent from the measured knee angular displacement time series was calculated to quantify local stability. This study quantified the variability present in time series generated from gait parameter via chaos analysis. Gait pattern is found to be chaotic. The proposed Lyapunov exponent can be used in rehabilitation and diagnosis of recoverable patients.

Abstract Background Understanding the underlying architecture of mood regulation in bipolar disorder (BD) is important, as we are starting to conceptualize BD as a more complex disorder than one of recurring manic or depressive episodes. Nonlinear techniques are employed to understand and model the behavior of complex systems. Our aim was to assess the underlying nonlinear properties that account for mood and energy fluctuations in patients with BD; and to compare whether these processes were different in healthy controls (HC) and unaffected first-degree relatives (FDR). We used three different nonlinear techniques: Lyapunov exponent, detrended fluctuation analysis and fractal dimension to assess the underlying behavior of mood and energy fluctuations in all groups; and subsequently to assess whether these arise from different processes in each of these groups. Results There was a positive, short-term autocorrelation for both mood and energy series in all three groups. In the mood series, the largest Lyapunov exponent was found in HC (1.84), compared to BD (1.63) and FDR (1.71) groups [F (2, 87) = 8.42, p < 0.005]. A post-hoc Tukey test showed that Lyapunov exponent in HC was significantly higher than both the BD (p = 0.003) and FDR groups (p = 0.03). Similarly, in the energy series, the largest Lyapunov exponent was found in HC (1.85), compared to BD (1.76) and FDR (1.67) [F (2, 87) = 11.02; p < 0.005]. There were no significant differences between groups for the detrended fluctuation analysis or fractal dimension. Conclusions The underlying nature of mood variability is in keeping with that of a chaotic system, which means that fluctuations are generated by deterministic nonlinear process(es) in HC, BD, and FDR. The value of this complex modeling lies in analyzing the nature of the processes involved in mood regulation. It also suggests that the window for episode prediction in BD will be inevitably short.

Abstract Properties of chaos synchronization have been used for estimation of the largest Lyapunov exponent of a discontinuous mechanical system. A method for such estimation is proposed and an example is shown, based on coupling of two identical systems with dry friction which is modelled according to the Popp-Stelter formula.

Conclusive experimental evidence is presented for the existence of a low-dimensional temporal dynamical system in an open flow, namely the near field of an axisymmetric, subsonic free jet. An initially laminar jet (4 cm air jet in the Reynolds number range 1.1 × 104 [Lt ] ReD × 9.1 × 104) with a top-hat profile was studied using single-frequency, longitudinal, bulk excitation. Two non-dimensional control parameters – forcing frequency StD (≡fexD/Ue, where fez is the excitation frequency, D is the jet exit diameter and Ue is the exit velocity) and forcing amplitude af (≡ u’f/Ue, where u’f is the jet exit r.m.s. longitudinal velocity fluctuation at the excitation frequency) – were varied over the ranges 10-4 < af < 0.3 and 0.3 < StD < 3.0 in order to construct a phase diagram. Periodic and chaotic states were found over large domains of the parameter space. The periodic attractors correspond to stable pairing (SP) and stable double pairing (SDP) of rolled-up vortices. One chaotic attractor, near SP in the parameter space, results from nearly periodic modulations of pairing (NPMP) of vortices. At large scales (i.e. approximately the size of the attractor) in phase space, NPMP exhibits approximately quasi-periodic behaviour, including modulation sidebands around ½fex in u-spectra, large closed loops in its Poincaré sections, correlation dimension v ∼ 2 and largest Lyapunov exponent λ1 ∼ 0. But investigations at smaller scales (i.e. distances greater than, but of the order of, trajectory separation) in phase space reveal chaos, as shown by v > 2 and λ1 > 0. The other chaotic attractor, near SDP, results from nearly periodic modulations of the first vortex pairing but chaotic modulations of the second pairing and has a broadband spectrum, a dimension 2.5 [Lt ] v [Lt ] 3 and the largest Lyapunov exponent 0.2 [Lt ] λ1 [Lt ] 0.7 bits per orbit (depending on measurement locations in physical and parameter spaces).A definition that distinguishes between physically and dynamically open flows is proposed and justified by our experimental results. The most important conclusion of this study is that a physically open flow, even one that is apparently dynamically open due to convective instability, can exhibit dynamically closed behaviour as a result of feedback. A conceptual model for transitional jets is proposed based on twodimensional instabilities, subharmonic resonance and feedback from downstream vortical structures to the nozzle lip. Feedback was quantified and shown to affect the exit fundamental–subharmonic phase difference ϕ – a crucial variable in subharmonic resonance and, hence, vortex pairing. The effect of feedback, the sensitivity of pairings to ϕ, the phase diagram, and the documented periodic and chaotic attractors demonstrate the validity of the proposed conceptual model.
