Refinements to the boundary transformation vector representation of attractor shape deformation to enhance system
1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA 17837, USA.
Abstract:
A new method of quantifying parameter changes in chaotic systems using estimates of how the boundaries of Poincare sections deform was recently developed. Refinements that improve the number and quality of the boundary transformation vectors produced by this method are proposed and analyzed here. Collectively, these refinements offer the ability to better match closely spaced linear segments of Poincare sections typical of fractal geometry, better handle boundary gaps, and more uniformly sample the boundary, resulting in additional data. The refinements are tested using Poincare sections constructed in three ways for five different dynamical systems and are shown to enhance results in all cases.
