Abstract

In this paper, we report a novel approach for studying the effect of optimal uncoupling on the stability of synchronization in coupled chaotic systems. The clipping of phase space of the driven system having an orientation along the coordinate axes revealing the nature of coupling of the state variables of coupled systems is identified in certain coupled third-order chaotic systems. The stability of synchronization is studied through the {\emph{Master Stability Function}} (MSF). The optimal directions of implementing the clipping width to achieve stable synchronization is observed by studying the effectiveness of clipping fraction and the sufficient range of orientation to identify the optimal directions is reported. The functional work steps for identifying the optimal directions are presented and the synchronization of the response system with the drive within the clipped region of phase space for different orientations of clipping width are studied. The stability of synchronization for different orientations of clipping widths and the two-parameter bifurcation diagram indicating the negative valued MSF regions obtained for the optimal direction of clipping width are presented. The application of the method of optimal uncoupling in identifying the direction of implication of clipping width is discussed and the range of orientation over which the clipping width has to be varied is generalized.

Final state sensitivity and fractal basin boundaries from coupled Chialvo neurons

We investigate and quantify the basin geometry and extreme final state uncertainty of two identical electrically asymmetrically coupled Chialvo neurons. The system's diverse behaviors are presented, along with the mathematical reasoning behind its chaotic and nonchaotic dynamics as determined by the structure of the coupled equations. The system is found to be multistable with two qualitatively different attractors. Although each neuron is individually nonchaotic, the chaotic basin takes up the vast majority of the coupled system's state space, but the nonchaotic basin stretches to infinity due to chance synchronization. The boundary between the basins is found to be fractal, leading to extreme final state sensitivity. This uncertainty and its potential effect on the synchronization of biological neurons may have implications for understanding neuronal biology.

Jordan-Block Degeneracy and Cubic-Order Bifurcating Periodic Orbits in Minimum-Energy Optimal Control of Hamiltonian Equilibria

Equilibria of the Hamiltonian system associated with Pontryagin's minimum principle exhibit an exact doubling of the natural spectrum and, under a simple pairing condition, a Jordan block at every simple purely imaginary eigenvalue. Consequently, the classical Lyapunov Center Theorem does not apply to the augmented system, and no periodic orbit with nonzero optimal control bifurcates at linear order. We establish this mechanism in general and show that an optimal-control-induced periodic family emerges at cubic order in a Lindstedt--Poincaré expansion. The mechanism is illustrated in closed form for the pendulum and evaluated numerically for the planar $L_2$ equilibrium of Hill's restricted three-body problem, where the third-order approximation is validated against an independently computed family of periodic orbits.

Hypersensitivity and Turnpikes in Optimal Control of Inverted Pendulum: A Dynamical Systems Perspective

The hypersensitivity and turnpike phenomena in the optimal control of an inverted pendulum are investigated from a dynamical-systems perspective. We show that, for a fixed terminal time and a fixed terminal state optimal control problem, (1) the hypersensitivity originates from the fractal structure of the set of initial adjoint variables in the associated Hamiltonian dynamics, (2) the turnpike arises from slow dynamics in the vicinity of a degenerate center manifold, and (3) the escape channels are formed by normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds (NHIMs). As a consequence, small perturbations in the initial adjoint variables lead to qualitatively distinct extremal trajectories, resulting in severe numerical instability in trajectory optimization. Both the fractal structure and the invariant sets are characterized numerically and analytically.
