Abstract

Chaos is popularly associated with its property of sensitivity to initial conditions. In this paper we will show that there can be a flip side to this property which is quite fascinating and highly useful in many applications. As a result, we can mix a large number of chaotic signals and one completely arbitrary signal and later a recipient of this transformed and weighted mixture can separate each of the signals, one by one. The chaotic signals, could be generated by various maps which belong to the logistic family. The arbitrary signal, could be a message, some random noise, some periodic signal or a chaotic signal generated by a source, either belonging or not belonging to the family. The key behind this procedure is a family of maps which can dovetail into each other without altering each of their predecessor's symbolic sequence.

Dynamics tuning with reservoir computer control

We present an equation-free method for maintaining a dynamical system operating in a desired regime, even as system parameters are disturbed in such a way that qualitatively different dynamics would emerge. This method allows for real-time identification of changes made to a system's evolution equations induced by the parameter changes. If the equations governing the original system's dynamics are known, our method can allow one to determine the values of the parameters in real time. We illustrate our method with numerical examples using a reservoir computer control implementation.

Trigonometric Nosé--Hoover oscillator: chaos, periodic orbits and integrability

We introduce a trigonometric version of the Nosé-Hoover oscillator in which the quadratic mechanical terms and unbounded thermostat coupling are replaced by bounded trigonometric functions. This formulation replaces the harmonic potential by a pendulum-type potential and confines the thermostat interaction to a bounded periodic form. The resulting two-parameter system is naturally defined on the three-dimensional torus and reduces near the origin, to leading order, to the classical polynomial Nosé-Hoover model. We investigate its global dynamics using Poincaré sections, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov spectra, Kaplan-Yorke dimensions, and the Lyapunov Integrability Test (LIT). The numerical results reveal the coexistence of regular and chaotic dynamics and characterize changes in dissipative behavior across the parameter plane. We then analyze the two limiting cases associated with the parameter axes. For $a=0$, we construct two functionally independent first integrals on regular domains, whereas for $b=0$ the dynamics reduces to a family of two-dimensional systems on invariant tori, which are analyzed using Darboux polynomials and exponential factors. First-order averaging near the intersection of these integrable limits yields periodic solutions bifurcating from unperturbed periodic orbits and an obstruction to regular $C^1$ first integrals in their neighborhoods. Independently, differential Galois theory applied to the normal variational equation, together with the Ayoul-Zung and Li-Shi criteria, excludes meromorphic $B$-integrability and non-constant meromorphic first integrals near a particular non-equilibrium phase curve for $ab\neq0$. Thus, despite retaining the local structure of the classical Nosé-Hoover oscillator, its trigonometric counterpart exhibits markedly different global dynamics and integrability.

Experimental detection of energy transfer into the antiphase mode in a branched double pendulum

Multiple pendulum with branching is proposed as a convenient platform to study energy transfer between different modes. The antiphase oscillation mode is localized to the "child" links, which makes it easy to prepare initial conditions without exciting the antiphase mode. A manageable expression for the energy transfer is derived theoretically and evaluated with experimental data.
