Using chaos synchronization to estimate the largest Lyapunov exponent of nonsmooth systems.
The challenges to live in the open water and the diversity of habitats in the marine environments prompts phytoplankton to devise strategies which often involve production of toxins by Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) and rapid production of metabolites from non-toxic precursor. The functional response of the predator is described by Holling type IV. We investigate wave phenomena and non-linear non-equilibrium pattern formation in a phytoplankton-zooplankton system with Holling type IV functional response....
In 1992 Agronsky and Ceder proved that any finite collection of non-degenerate Peano continua in the unit square is an ω-limit set for a continuous map. We improve this result by showing that it is valid, with natural restrictions, for the triangular maps (x,y) ↦ (f(x),g(x,y)) of the square. For example, we show that a non-trivial Peano continuum C ⊂ I² is an orbit-enclosing ω-limit set of a triangular map if and only if it has a projection property. If C is a finite union of Peano continua then,...
