The unpredictability of cancer poses a threat to personalized cures. Although cancer is studied as a chaotic system, the shape of its unpredictability, known as the strange attractor, is unclear. In this article, the author discusses a conceptual model, building on the strange attractor in cancer phase space. Using techniques of cubism, the author defines the 10-dimensional phase space and then, using an abstract expressionist approach, represents the strange attractor, which twists and turns in multi dimensions, indicating the unpredictability of cancer. This conceptual model motivates the identification of specific experiments for a system-level understanding of cancer.

The paper shows the feasibility of applying the method of multi-dimensional phase space as a quantitative measure for the evaluation of chaotic dynamics on the example of the muscles (flexor of the little finger). The method of multi-dimensional phase space was used. In the study and modeling of complex biological objects (complexity) there is the possibility of introducing traditional physical methods in biological research and new methods based on the chaos theory and self-organization. As a measure of the state of the neuromuscular system of the person (weak muscle tension and strong, almost the maximum force), the authors used quasi-attractors volumes of multidimensional phase space. This enables identification of the actual measurements of the parameters of the functional state with weak muscles (Fi = 5 daN) and strong (Fi = 10 daN) static stress. The authors built a timebase signal received from the electromyograph and the autocorrelation function A(t) of signal. A biomechanical analysis of the state of the system is carried out on the basis of comparison of the volume VG quasi attractor, as well as on the basis of the analysis of the Shannon entropy E. Volume of quasi attractor VG displacements under low load is slightly less than the same volume displacement VG with strong exertion of the muscles of the flexor of the little finger, exactly the same as the values of the Shannon entropy under a heavy load increases compared to the values obtained under low load the muscles.

A new methodology, which combines nonparametric method based on local functional coefficient autoregressive (LFAR) form with chaos theory and regional method, is proposed for multistep prediction of chaotic time series. The objective of this research study is to improve the performance of long-term forecasting of chaotic time series. To obtain the prediction values of chaotic time series, three steps are involved. Firstly, the original time series is reconstructed inm-dimensional phase space with a time delayτby using chaos theory. Secondly, select the nearest neighbor points by using local method in them-dimensional phase space. Thirdly, we use the nearest neighbor points to get a LFAR model. The proposed model’s parameters are selected by modified generalized cross validation (GCV) criterion. Both simulated data (Lorenz and Mackey-Glass systems) and real data (Sunspot time series) are used to illustrate the performance of the proposed methodology. By detailed investigation and comparing our results with published researches, we find that the LFAR model can effectively fit nonlinear characteristics of chaotic time series by using simple structure and has excellent performance for multistep forecasting.

Methods of classical statistics and the theory of chaos and self-organization studied the behavior of the vector of the cardiovascular system in groups of students trained and untrained in response to dosed physical stress .It was found that students without physical fitness indicators of cardio area quasi-attractors increased after exercise . The study had shown significant changes in the dynamics of the behavior of the parameters of functional systems of the human body compared to the stochastic approach based on the histogram and Shannon entropy . It is shown the feasibility of application of chaos theory, self-organization in the evaluation of the reaction of the cardiovascular system of the person on the dynamic exercise. As a measure of the cardiovascular system of the person (to load and after the load) used quasi-attractor motion of the state vector of the system in the two-dimensional phase space of states. Within the framework of the theory of chaos and self-organization may determine the parameters of the spacecraft for individual subjects and their groups to compare their chaotic dynamics in time or in the phase space of states.

Chaotic Attractors

Otto E. Rössler is well-known in "chaos theory" for having published one of the most often used benchmark systems producing chaotic attractors. His contribution is mostly reduced to this simple chaotic system published in 1976. Our aim is to show that a slightly earlier paper contains, in fact, much more and reveals a deep topological understanding of how chaotic attractors are organized in phase space. Moreover it is shown that Otto had three main influences: Andronov, Khaikin and Vitt's textbook, the 1963 Lorenz paper and Li and Yorke's theorem "period-three implies chaos". In this paper, these three contributions are clearly identified as the main influences on Rössler's earliest paper on chaos. The content of the latter is briefly compared to other works that appeared (or were available as reprints) before its own publication.

In studies using the method of multi-dimensional phase space. In the study and modeling of complex biological objects (complexity) there is the possibility of introducing traditional physical methods in biological research and new methods based on chaos theory, self-organization. The paper shows the feasibility of applying the method of multi-dimensional phase space as a quantitative measure for the evaluation of chaotic dynamics on the example of the muscles (flexor of the little finger). As a measure of the state of the neuromuscular system of the person (weak muscle tension and strong, almost the maximum force) used quasi-attractors volumes of multidimensional phase space. This enables identification of the actual measurements of the parameters of the functional state with weak muscles (p = 5th Dan) and strong (P = 10 daN) static stress. Was built timebase signal obtained with myograph and were built autocorrelation function A (t) signal. In the end analysis of the biomechanical system based on a comparison of volume quasi-attractor, as well as on the basis of analysis of the Shannon entropy N. kzvaziattraktora volume displacement at low load is slightly less than the same amount of displacement under a heavy load of flexor muscles of the little finger, just as the values of the Shannon entropy at a heavy load is increased as compared with the values obtained by the weak muscle load.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

We propose a numerical scheme to solve the semiclassical Vlasov–Maxwell equations for electrons with spin. The electron gas is described by a distribution function $f(t,{\boldsymbol x},{{{\boldsymbol p}}}, {\boldsymbol s})$ that evolves in an extended 9-dimensional phase space $({\boldsymbol x},{{{\boldsymbol p}}}, {\boldsymbol s})$ , where $\boldsymbol s$ represents the spin vector. Using suitable approximations and symmetries, the extended phase space can be reduced to five dimensions: $(x,{{p_x}}, {\boldsymbol s})$ . It can be shown that the spin Vlasov–Maxwell equations enjoy a Hamiltonian structure that motivates the use of the recently developed geometric particle-in-cell (PIC) methods. Here, the geometric PIC approach is generalized to the case of electrons with spin. Total energy conservation is very well satisfied, with a relative error below $0.05\,\%$ . As a relevant example, we study the stimulated Raman scattering of an electromagnetic wave interacting with an underdense plasma, where the electrons are partially or fully spin polarized. It is shown that the Raman instability is very effective in destroying the electron polarization.
