  • Complex Systems
  • Nonlinear Dynamics
  • Network Science

Background

  • Mutually coupled identical Lorenz oscillators near a subcritical Hopf bifurcation exhibit multistable behavior.
  • Spatiotemporal dynamics include synchronization, desynchronization, and chimera states.

Purpose Of The Study

  • Investigate collective dynamics in networks of coupled Lorenz oscillators.
  • Analyze intermittent behavior and its implications for synchronization and chimera states.

Main Methods

  • Analysis of coupled identical Lorenz oscillators near a subcritical Hopf bifurcation.
  • Examination of ring topology with nearest-neighbor coupling.
  • Study of various network topologies: nonlocal, scale-free, random, and small-world.

Main Results

  • The system exhibits intermittent behavior due to complex basin structures and dynamical frustration.
  • Oscillators switch between different attractors, leading to intermittently synchronized or desynchronized dynamics.
  • Intermittent chimera states are observed.
  • The characteristic time in the synchronization manifold decays as a power law.
  • Intermittent dynamics are general and observed across diverse network topologies.

Conclusions

  • Intermittent dynamics are a significant feature of coupled Lorenz oscillators near a subcritical Hopf bifurcation.
  • These dynamics lead to novel phenomena like intermittent chimera states.
  • The observed intermittent behavior is robust across various network structures.

Oscillations In An LC Circuit 01:30

2.3K

An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

When the switch is closed, the capacitor begins to discharge, producing a current in the circuit. The current, in turn,...

Stability is an important concept in oscillation. If an equilibrium point is stable, a slight disturbance of an object that is initially at the stable equilibrium point will cause the object to oscillate around that point. For an unstable equilibrium point, if the object is disturbed slightly, it will not return to the equilibrium point. There are three conditions for equilibrium points—stable, unstable, and half-stable. A half-stable equilibrium point is also unstable, but is named so...

Damped Oscillations 01:07

In the real world, oscillations seldom follow true simple harmonic motion. A system that continues its motion indefinitely without losing its amplitude is termed undamped. However, friction of some sort usually dampens the motion, so it fades away or needs more force to continue. For example, a guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked. Similarly, one must continually push a swing to keep a child swinging on a playground.
Although friction and other non-conservative...

Forced Oscillations 01:06

When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Using the equations of force and motion, the amplitude of the driven oscillator is obtained. It depends on the natural and driving frequency.

In the equation for amplitude, when the driving frequency is much smaller...

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems 01:24

System stability is a fundamental concept in signal processing, often assessed using convolution. For a system to be considered bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stable, any bounded input signal must produce a bounded output signal. A bounded input signal is one where the modulus does not exceed a certain constant at any point in time.
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....

Root Loci for Positive-Feedback Systems 01:23

The Hartley oscillator is a positive feedback system that sustains oscillations by feeding the output back to the input in phase, thereby reinforcing the signal. Positive feedback systems can be viewed as negative feedback systems with inverted feedback signals. In these systems, the root locus encompasses all points on the s-plane where the angle of the system transfer function equals 360 degrees.
The construction rules for the root locus in positive feedback systems are similar to those in...
