Some unresolved issued in non-linear population dynamics.

Joe N. Perry (1997)

Qüestiió

The Lyapunov exponent is a statistic that measures the sensitive dependence of the dynamic behaviour of a system on its initial conditions. Estimates of Lyapunov exponents are often used to characterize the qualitative population dynamics of insect time series. The methodology for estimation of the exponent for an observed, noisy, short ecological time series is still under development. Some progress has been made recently in providing measures of error for these exponents. Studies that do not account...

Statistical properties of unimodal maps

Artur Avila, Carlos Gustavo Moreira (2005)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

We consider typical analytic unimodal maps which possess a chaotic attractor. Our main result is an explicit combinatorial formula for the exponents of periodic orbits. Since the exponents of periodic orbits form a complete set of smooth invariants, the smooth structure is completely determined by purely topological data (“typical rigidity”), which is quite unexpected in this setting. It implies in particular that the lamination structure of spaces of analytic unimodal maps (obtained by the partition...

Symbolic dynamics and Lyapunov exponents for Lozi maps

Diogo Baptista, Ricardo Severino (2012)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Building on the kneading theory for Lozi maps introduced by Yutaka Ishii, in 1997, we introduce a symbolic method to compute its largest Lyapunov exponent. We use this method to study the behavior of the largest Lyapunov exponent for the set of points whose forward and backward orbits remain bounded, and find the maximum value that the largest Lyapunov exponent can assume.

Synchronization with error bound of non-identical forced oscillators

Jian Gen Wang, Jianping Cai, Mihua Ma, Jiuchao Feng (2008)

Kybernetika

Synchronization with error bound of two non-identical forced oscillators is studied in the paper. By introducing two auxiliary autonomous systems, differential inequality technique and active control technique are used to deal with the synchronization of two non-identical forced oscillators with parameter mismatch in external harmonic excitations. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
