Bifurcations in Globally Coupled Map Lattices
The dynamics of globally coupled map lattices can be described in terms of a
nonlinear Frobenius--Perron equation in the limit of large system size. This
approach allows for an analytical computation of stationary states and their
stability. The complete bifurcation behaviour of coupled tent maps near the
chaotic band merging point is presented. Furthermore the time independent
states of coupled logistic equations are analyzed. The bifurcation diagram of
the uncoupled map carries over to the map lattice. The analytical results are
supplemented with numerical simulations.Comment: 19 pages, .dvi and postscrip
Critical fluctuations of noisy period-doubling maps
We extend the theory of quasipotentials in dynamical systems by calculating,
within a broad class of period-doubling maps, an exact potential for the
critical fluctuations of pitchfork bifurcations in the weak noise limit. These
far-from-equilibrium fluctuations are described by finite-size mean field
theory, placing their static properties in the same universality class as the
Ising model on a complete graph. We demonstrate that the effective system size
of noisy period-doubling bifurcations exhibits universal scaling behavior along
period-doubling routes to chaos.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
Replica-symmetry breaking in dynamical glasses
Systems of globally coupled logistic maps (GCLM) can display complex
collective behaviour characterized by the formation of synchronous clusters. In
the dynamical clustering regime, such systems possess a large number of
coexisting attractors and might be viewed as dynamical glasses. Glass
properties of GCLM in the thermodynamical limit of large system sizes are
investigated. Replicas, representing orbits that start from various initial
conditions, are introduced and distributions of their overlaps are numerically
determined. We show that for fixed-field ensembles of initial conditions, as
used in previous numerical studies, all attractors of the system become
identical in the thermodynamical limit up to variations of order
because the initial value of the coupling field is characterized by vanishing
fluctuations, and thus replica symmetry is recovered for . In
contrast to this, when random-field ensembles of initial conditions are chosen,
replica symmetry remains broken in the thermodynamical limit.Comment: 19 pages, 18 figure
Time Quasilattices in Dissipative Dynamical Systems
We establish the existence of `time quasilattices' as stable trajectories in
dissipative dynamical systems. These tilings of the time axis, with two unit
cells of different durations, can be generated as cuts through a periodic
lattice spanned by two orthogonal directions of time. We show that there are
precisely two admissible time quasilattices, which we term the infinite Pell
and Clapeyron words, reached by a generalization of the period-doubling
cascade. Finite Pell and Clapeyron words of increasing length provide
systematic periodic approximations to time quasilattices which can be verified
experimentally. The results apply to all systems featuring the universal
sequence of periodic windows. We provide examples of discrete-time maps, and
periodically-driven continuous-time dynamical systems. We identify quantum
many-body systems in which time quasilattices develop rigidity via the
interaction of many degrees of freedom, thus constituting dissipative discrete
`time quasicrystals'.Comment: 38 pages, 14 figures. This version incorporates "Pell and Clapeyron

Noise-induced macroscopic bifurcations in globally-coupled chaotic units
Large populations of globally-coupled identical maps subjected to independent
additive noise are shown to undergo qualitative changes as the features of the
stochastic process are varied. We show that for strong coupling, the collective
dynamics can be described in terms of a few effective macroscopic degrees of
freedom, whose deterministic equations of motion are systematically derived
through an order parameter expansion.Comment: Phys. Rev. Lett., accepte
Network analysis of chaotic dynamics in fixed-precision digital domain
When implemented in the digital domain with time, space and value discretized
in the binary form, many good dynamical properties of chaotic systems in
continuous domain may be degraded or even diminish. To measure the dynamic
complexity of a digital chaotic system, the dynamics can be transformed to the
form of a state-mapping network. Then, the parameters of the network are
verified by some typical dynamical metrics of the original chaotic system in
infinite precision, such as Lyapunov exponent and entropy. This article reviews
some representative works on the network-based analysis of digital chaotic
dynamics and presents a general framework for such analysis, unveiling some
intrinsic relationships between digital chaos and complex networks. As an
example for discussion, the dynamics of a state-mapping network of the Logistic
map in a fixed-precision computer is analyzed and discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 9 figure
Globally coupled maps with asynchronous updating
We analyze a system of globally coupled logistic maps with asynchronous
updating. We show that its dynamics differs considerably from that of the
synchronous case. For growing values of the coupling intensity, an inverse
bifurcation cascade replaces the structure of clusters and ordering in the
phase diagram. We present numerical simulations and an analytical description
based on an effective single-element dynamics affected by internal
fluctuations. Both of them show how global coupling is able to suppress the
complexity of the single-element evolution. We find that, in contrast to
systems with synchronous update, internal fluctuations satisfy the law of large
numbers.Comment: 7 pages, submitted to PR
Coupled logistic maps and non-linear differential equations
We study the continuum space-time limit of a periodic one dimensional array
of deterministic logistic maps coupled diffusively. First, we analyse this
system in connection with a stochastic one dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang
(KPZ) equation for confined surface fluctuations. We compare the large-scale
and long-time behaviour of space-time correlations in both systems. The dynamic
structure factor of the coupled map lattice (CML) of logistic units in its deep
chaotic regime and the usual d=1 KPZ equation have a similar temporal stretched
exponential relaxation. Conversely, the spatial scaling and, in particular, the
size dependence are very different due to the intrinsic confinement of the
fluctuations in the CML. We discuss the range of values of the non-linear
parameter in the logistic map elements and the elastic coefficient coupling
neighbours on the ring for which the connection with the KPZ-like equation
holds. In the same spirit, we derive a continuum partial differential equation
governing the evolution of the Lyapunov vector and we confirm that its
space-time behaviour becomes the one of KPZ. Finally, we briefly discuss the
interpretation of the continuum limit of the CML as a
Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov (FKPP) non-linear diffusion equation with
an additional KPZ non-linearity and the possibility of developing travelling
wave configurations.Comment: 23 page
