Attractor self-reproducing is achieved through periodic offset boosting. Key parameters like position, size, and frequency dictate the trigonometric function, enabling designable and adjustable attractor reproduction for engineering applications.
Area of Science:
- Dynamical Systems and Chaos Theory
- Nonlinear Dynamics
Background:
- Multistability and attractor self-reproduction are complex phenomena in dynamical systems.
- Understanding the underlying mechanisms is crucial for controlling system behavior.
Purpose of the Study:
- To decode the special regime of multistability of attractor self-reproducing.
- To establish a universal law for attractor self-reproducing based on offset boosting.
Main Methods:
- Investigating attractor self-reproducing triggered by periodic initial condition-offset boosting.
- Analyzing the influence of position, size, and clone frequency on trigonometric function selection.
- Developing a universal law based on three sinusoidal quantity elements: initial phase, amplitude, and frequency.
Main Results:
- Attractor self-reproducing is fundamentally linked to periodic initial condition-triggered offset boosting.
- A universal law is established: original position dictates initial phase, attractor size sets amplitude, and reproducing interval determines frequency.
- The product of amplitude and frequency is a constant for a given periodic function.
- Phase space waste occurs with negative slope switching in sinusoidal functions, unless conditional symmetry is re-established.
Conclusions:
- Three-element-oriented offset boosting enhances the designability, achievability, and adjustability of attractor self-reproducing.
- This approach offers significant convenience for various engineering applications.
