Simulation of Chua's Circuit by Means of Interval Analysis
The Chua's circuit is a paradigm for nonlinear scientific studies. It is
usually simulated by means of numerical methods under IEEE 754-2008 standard.
Although the error propagation problem is well known, little attention has been
given to the relationship between this error and inequalities presented in
Chua's circuit model. Taking the average of round mode towards and
, we showed a qualitative change on the dynamics of Chua's circuit.Comment: 6th International Conference on Nonlinear Science and Complexity -

Information entropy of classical versus explosive percolation
We study the Shannon entropy of the cluster size distribution in classical as
well as explosive percolation, in order to estimate the uncertainty in the
sizes of randomly chosen clusters. At the critical point the cluster size
distribution is a power-law, i.e. there are clusters of all sizes, so one
expects the information entropy to attain a maximum. As expected, our results
show that the entropy attains a maximum at this point for classical
percolation. Surprisingly, for explosive percolation the maximum entropy does
not match the critical point. Moreover, we show that it is possible determine
the critical point without using the conventional order parameter, just
analysing the entropy's derivatives.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Note on improvement precision of recursive function simulation in floating point standard
An improvement on precision of recursive function simulation in IEEE floating
point standard is presented. It is shown that the average of rounding towards
negative infinite and rounding towards positive infinite yields a better result
than the usual standard rounding to the nearest in the simulation of recursive
functions. In general, the method improves one digit of precision and it has
also been useful to avoid divergence from a correct stationary regime in the
logistic map. Numerical studies are presented to illustrate the method.Comment: DINCON 2017 - Conferencia Brasileira de Dinamica, Controle e

Characterizing Weak Chaos using Time Series of Lyapunov Exponents
We investigate chaos in mixed-phase-space Hamiltonian systems using time
series of the finite- time Lyapunov exponents. The methodology we propose uses
the number of Lyapunov exponents close to zero to define regimes of ordered
(stickiness), semi-ordered (or semi-chaotic), and strongly chaotic motion. The
dynamics is then investigated looking at the consecutive time spent in each
regime, the transition between different regimes, and the regions in the
phase-space associated to them. Applying our methodology to a chain of coupled
standard maps we obtain: (i) that it allows for an improved numerical
characterization of stickiness in high-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, when
compared to the previous analyses based on the distribution of recurrence
times; (ii) that the transition probabilities between different regimes are
determined by the phase-space volume associated to the corresponding regions;
(iii) the dependence of the Lyapunov exponents with the coupling strength.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
