Abstract

Stabilization of instable periodic orbits of nonlinear dynamical systems has been a widely explored field theoretically and in applications. The techniques can be grouped in time-continuous control schemes based on Pyragas, and the two Poincaré-based chaos control schemes, Ott-Gebogi-Yorke (OGY) and difference control. Here a new stability analysis of these two Poincaré-based chaos control schemes is given by means of Floquet theory. This approach allows to calculate exactly the stability restrictions occuring for small measurement delays and for an impulse length shorter than the length of the orbit. This is of practical experimental relevance; to avoid a selection of the relative impulse length by trial and error, it is advised to investigate whether the used control scheme itself shows systematic limitations on the choice of the impulse length. To investigate this point, a Floquet analysis is performed. For OGY control the influence of the impulse length is marginal. As an unexpected result, difference control fails when the impulse length is taken longer than a maximal value that is approximately one half of the orbit length for small Ljapunov numbers and decreases with the Ljapunov number.

Reservoir Computing with a single Josephson junction

Physical reservoir computing exploits the nonlinear dynamics of a physical system to perform information processing tasks. Josephson junctions (JJs), as nonlinear superconducting devices with rich dynamical behavior, represent promising yet relatively unexplored candidates for reservoir computing. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that a single Josephson junction can be employed as a reservoir computing substrate without the use of an explicit delay loop. Using numerical simulations, we analyze the reservoir performance in different dynamical regimes and show that optimal performance is achieved when the JJ operates in a stable yet responsive regime. Despite the absence of delayed feedback, the JJ exhibits sufficient memory through its intrinsic dynamics to achieve good performance on a chaotic time series prediction task. The underlying mechanism is analogous, at the dynamical level, to that of a driven nonlinear pendulum, highlighting the generality of the approach to other nonlinear oscillators. In addition, we explore an alternative input masking approach based on continuous modulation, highlighting its compatibility with practical implementations. These results establish Josephson junctions as a viable and efficient platform for reservoir computing and open the way to ultrafast, low-dissipation hardware realizations.

Risk-Sensitive Learning in Population Games under Extreme Events: Bifurcations and Chaotic Dynamics

Inspired by nonequilibrium phenomena in game dynamics and behavioral evidence on the impact of extreme events on decision making, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a discrete-time multiagent learning rule in population congestion games under extreme events affecting one of the actions. The population state, following a risk-sensitive variant of the Multiplicative Weights Update (MWU), is coupled with a belief variable capturing the agents perceived risk and updated through an adaptive expectation rule. We perform a two-parameter bifurcation analysis with respect to the agents controlled parameters, identifying regions of qualitatively distinct behavior. Equilibria are studied first from both game-theoretic and dynamical perspectives. The resulting two-dimensional system exhibits complex behavior, including multi-stability among fixed points, invariant curves, periodic and chaotic attractors. Despite this complexity, the attractors can be grouped into distinct families, while the Cesàro averages of the trajectories are shown to converge to the stationary equilibrium. The incorporation of risk associated with the extreme event leads to new dynamical phenomena: attracting invariant curves arise and give rise to phase-locking Arnold tongues, within which the dynamics is qualitatively similar. In this setting, codimension-two resonances are identified as organizing centers, both within individual tongues and along the bifurcation curves associated with the fixed-point family. Chaotic attractors emerge and are destroyed through Feigenbaum cascades and forward or reverse boundary crises, with interior and merging crises also observed, along with transient chaos and narrow periodic windows. For each qualitatively distinct region, representative phase portraits and the associated basins of attraction are examined.

Intermittency-induced transitions in fast-slow dynamical systems

Intermittent dynamics are ubiquitous in the Earth system and often arise from the interaction of processes evolving on different time scales. In this work, we investigate how intermittent bursts in a fast forcing system propagate to and reshape the dynamics of a slower response system that would otherwise settle onto a quasi-stationary or weakly oscillatory regime. We address this question in two coupled models of increasing complexity: a low-dimensional Lorenz-63 system and the spatially extended Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Across both systems, intermittency in the forcing progressively reshapes the attractor of the slow response system and drives it into different regimes. Using the Wasserstein distance, we show that increasing the frequency of intermittent events progressively displaces the response attractor from its unperturbed counterpart, up to a limit beyond which this deviation saturates. We then show that varying the forcing intensity and the time-scale separation between the forcing and response systems drives distinct regime transitions, which we characterize through the variance of ensemble maxima, the power spectra of both systems, and extreme value statistics. Finally, we examine how the type of intermittency in the forcing system affects synchronization between the two systems through local phase locking, showing that specific transitions in the phase-locking behavior are tied to the underlying intermittency regime, and that the response delay scales exponentially with the time-scale separation.
