The behavior of the Lyapunov exponents (LEs) of a disordered system consisting of mutually coupled chaotic maps with different parameters is studied. The LEs are demonstrated to exhibit avoided crossing and level repulsion, qualitatively similar to the behavior of energy levels in quantum chaos. Recent results for the coupling dependence of the LEs of two coupled chaotic systems are used to explain the phenomenon and to derive an approximate expression for the distribution functions of LE spacings. The depletion of the level spacing distribution is shown to be exponentially strong at small values. The results are interpreted in terms of the random matrix theory.
Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT) as fatal cardiac arrhythmias are the main factors triggering sudden cardiac death. The objective of this recurrence quantification analysis approach is to find early signs of sustained VT in patients with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). These devices are able to safeguard patients by returning their hearts to a normal rhythm via strong defibrillatory shocks; additionally, they are able to store at least 1000 beat-to-beat intervals immediately before the onset of a life-threatening arrhythmia. We study the
Chen et al. [Phys. Rev. E 61, 2559 (2000)] recently proposed an extension of the concept of phase for discrete chaotic systems. Using the newly introduced definition of phase they studied the dynamics of coupled map lattices and compared these dynamics with phase synchronization of coupled continuous-time chaotic systems. In this paper we illustrate by two simple counterexamples that the angle variable introduced by Chen et al. fails to satisfy the basic requirements to the proper phase. Furthermore, we argue that an extension of the notion of phase synchronization to generic discrete maps is doubtful.
We propose a method for experimental detection of directionality of weak coupling between two self-sustained oscillators from bivariate data. The technique is applicable to both noisy and chaotic systems that can be nonidentical or even structurally different. We introduce an index that quantifies the asymmetry in coupling.
Comment on "Simple approach to the creation of a strange nonchaotic attractor in any chaotic system"
(2001)
We address the problem of existence of strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs) in quasiperiodically forced dynamical systems. Recently, Shuai and Wong [Phys. Rev. E 59, 5338 (1999)] suggested a universal method for constructing a SNA in an arbitrary system possessing chaos. We demonstrate here that, in general, this method fails. For arbitrary systems, it gives a SNA only in a vicinity of transition to chaos. We discuss also a special example, where the method by Shuai and Wong indeed produces a SNA.
Lai et al. [Phys. Rev. E 62, R29 (2000)] claim that the angular velocity of the phase point moving along the chaotic trajectory in a properly chosen projection (the instantaneous frequency) is intermittent. Using the same examples, namely the Rössler and the Lorenz systems, we show the absence of intermittency in the dynamics of the instantaneous frequency.This is confirmed by demonstrating that the phase dynamics exhibits normal diffusion. We argue that the nonintermittent behavior is generic.
Clustering in ensembles of globally coupled identical chaotic oscillators is reconsidered using a twofold approach. Stability of clusters towards "emanation" of the elements is described with the evaporation Lyapunov exponents. It appears that direct numerical simulations of ensembles often lead to spurious clusters that have positive evaporation exponents, due to a numerical trap. We propose a numerical method that surmounts the spurious clustering. We also demonstrate that clustering can be very sensitive to the number of elements in the ensemble.
Transition to Coherence in Populations of Coupled Chaotic Oscillators: A Linear Response Approach
(2001)
We consider the collective dynamics in an ensemble of globally coupled chaotic maps. The transition to the coherent state with a macroscopic mean field is analyzed in the framework of the linear response theory. The linear response function for the chaotic system is obtained using the perturbation approach to the Frobenius-Perron operator. The transition point is defined from this function by virtue of the self-excitation condition for the feedback loop. Analytical results for the coupled Bernoulli maps are confirmed by the numerics.
