TY - JOUR A1 - Maranhão, D. M. A1 - Sartorelli, Jose Carlos A1 - Baptista, Murilo da Silva T1 - Experimental identification of chaotic fibers N2 - In a 2D parameter space, by using nine experimental time series of a Clitia's circuit, we characterized three codimension-1 chaotic fibers parallel to a period-3 window. To show the local preservation of the properties of the chaotic attractors in each fiber, we applied the closed return technique and two distinct topological methods. With the first topological method we calculated the linking, numbers in the sets of unstable periodic orbits, and with the second one we obtained the symbolic planes and the topological entropies by applying symbolic dynamic analysis.

A1 - Caldas, Ibere Luiz A1 - Sartorelli, José Carlos A1 - Kurths, Jürgen T1 - A scenario for torus T-2 destruction via a global bifurcation N2 - We show a scenario of a two-frequeney torus breakdown, in which a global bifurcation occurs due to the collision of a quasi-periodic torus T-2 with saddle points, creating a heteroclinic saddle connection. We analyze the geometry of this torus-saddle collision by showing the local dynamics and the invariant manifolds (global dynamics) of the saddle points. Moreover, we present detailed evidences of a heteroclinic saddle-focus orbit responsible for the type- if intermittency induced by this global bifurcation. We also characterize this transition to chaos by measuring the Lyapunov exponents and the scaling laws.
