Abstract:
A method is proposed to detect the dynamical structure hiding behind complex chaotic series by comparing prediction performance of trial functions. This method is valid even when the original system is contaminated with noise or only a relatively short data series is recorded. Using this method, the dynamical structure of the Gray-Scott model is detected from its rich spatiotemporal patterns. Finally, this method is successfully applied to the experimental data of Chua's circuit, which promises its potential of the application to realistic systems.

The unit impulse or sample sequence is mathematically expressed as zero for all n values except at n=0, where it is one. The unit impulse sequence, denoted by δ(n), is the first difference of the unit step sequence, while the unit step sequence u(n) is the...

Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
