Identifying homoclinic orbits in the dynamics of intermittent signals through recurrence quantification
1Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai 600 036, India.
Abstract:
In this paper, we show how the phenomenon of intermittency observed in systems with turbulent flow-sound interaction is related to the formation of homoclinic orbits in the phase space. Such orbits that emerge via the intersection of the stable and unstable manifold of an equilibrium configuration result from interactions that happen at multiple spatial/temporal scales associated with turbulent convection and wave propagation. Through a quantification of the time spent by the dynamics in the aperiodic states using recurrence plots, we show how the presence of homoclinic orbits in the dynamics may be convincingly demonstrated, which is often not possible through a visual inspection of the phase space of the attractor.

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems
To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system.
Basic Continuous Time Signals
The unit step function, denoted u(t), is zero for negative time values and one for positive time values, exhibiting a discontinuity at t=0. This function often represents abrupt changes, such as the step voltage introduced when turning a car's...
Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each path...

Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be calculated...
