Transition from phase to generalized synchronization in time-delay systems

The notion of phase synchronization in time-delay systems, exhibiting highly non-phase-coherent attractors, has not been realized yet even though it has been well studied in chaotic dynamical systems without delay. We report the identification of phase synchronization in coupled nonidentical piece-wise linear and in coupled Mackey-Glass time-delay systems with highly non-phase-coherent regimes. We show that there is a transition from non-synchronized behavior to phase and then to generalized synchronization as a function of coupling strength. We have introduced a transformation to capture the phase of the non-phase coherent attractors, which works equally well for both the time-delay systems. The instantaneous phases of the above coupled systems calculated from the transformed attractors satisfy both the phase and mean frequency locking conditions. These transitions are also characterized in terms of recurrence based indices, namely generalized autocorrelation function $P(t)$, correlation of probability of recurrence (CPR), joint probability of recurrence (JPR) and similarity of probability of recurrence (SPR). We have quantified the different synchronization regimes in terms of these indices. The existence of phase synchronization is also characterized by typical transitions in the Lyapunov exponents of the coupled time-delay systems.

Dynamic and Static Excitations of a Classical Discrete Anisotropic Heisenberg Ferromagnetic Spin Chain

Using Jacobi elliptic function addition formulas and summation identities we obtain several static and moving periodic soliton solutions of a classical anisotropic, discrete Heisenberg spin chain with and without an external magnetic field. We predict the dispersion relations of these nonlinear excitations and contrast them with that of magnons and relate these findings to the materials realized by a discrete spin chain. As limiting cases, we discuss different forms of domain wall structures and their properties.

Bright-dark solitons and their collisions in mixed N-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Mixed type (bright-dark) soliton solutions of the integrable N-coupled nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger (CNLS) equations with mixed signs of focusing and defocusing type nonlinearity coefficients are obtained by using Hirota's bilinearization method. Generally, for the mixed N-CNLS equations the bright and dark solitons can be split up in $(N-1)$ ways. By analysing the collision dynamics of these coupled bright and dark solitons systematically we point out that for $N>2$, if the bright solitons appear in at least two components, non-trivial effects like onset of intensity redistribution, amplitude dependent phase-shift and change in relative separation distance take place in the bright solitons during collision. However their counterparts, the dark solitons, undergo elastic collision but experience the same amplitude dependent phase-shift as that of bright solitons. Thus in the mixed CNLS system there co-exist shape changing collision of bright solitons and elastic collision of dark solitons with amplitude dependent phase-shift, thereby influencing each other mutually in an intricate way.

Periodic energy switching of bright solitons in mixed coupled nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equations with linear self and cross coupling terms

The bright soliton solutions of the mixed 2-coupled nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger (CNLS) equations with linear self and cross coupling terms have been obtained by identifying a transformation that transforms the corresponding equation to the integrable mixed 2-CNLS equations. The study on the collision dynamics of bright solitons shows that there exists periodic energy switching, due to the coupling terms. This periodic energy switching can be controlled by the new type of shape changing collisions of bright solitons arising in mixed 2-CNLS system, characterized by intensity redistribution, amplitude dependent phase shift and relative separation distance. We also point out that this system exhibits large periodic intensity switching even with very small linear self coupling strengths.

Intermittency transition to generalized synchronization in coupled time-delay systems

In this paper, we report the nature of transition to generalized synchronization (GS) in a system of two coupled scalar piecewise linear time-delay systems using the auxiliary system approach. We demonstrate that the transition to GS occurs via on-off intermittency route and also it exhibits characteristically distinct behaviors for different coupling configurations. In particular, the intermittency transition occurs in a rather broad range of coupling strength for error feedback coupling configuration and in a narrow range of coupling strength for direct feedback coupling configuration. It is also shown that the intermittent dynamics displays periodic bursts of period equal to the delay time of the response system in the former case, while they occur in random time intervals of finite duration in the latter case. The robustness of these transitions with system parameters and delay times has also been studied for both linear and nonlinear coupling configurations. The results are corroborated analytically by suitable stability conditions for asymptotically stable synchronized states and numerically by the probability of synchronization and by the transition of \emph{sub}Lyapunov exponents of the coupled time-delay systems. We have also indicated the reason behind these distinct transitions by referring to unstable periodic orbit theory of intermittency synchronization in low-dimensional systems.

Trilinearization and Localized Coherent Structures and Periodic Solutions for the (2+1) dimensional K-dV and NNV equations

In this paper, using a novel approach involving the truncated Laurent expansion in the Painlevé analysis of the (2+1) dimensional K-dV equation, we have trilinearized the evolution equation and obtained rather general classes of solutions in terms of arbitrary functions. The highlight of this method is that it allows us to construct generalized periodic structures corresponding to different manifolds in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions, and the exponentially decaying dromions turn out to be special cases of these solutions. We have also constructed multi-elliptic function solutions and multi-dromions and analysed their interactions. The analysis is also extended to the case of generalized Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov (NNV) equation, which is also trilinearized and general class of solutions obtained.

Delay time modulation induced oscillating synchronization and intermittent anticipatory/lag and complete synchronizations in time-delay nonlinear dynamical systems

Existence of a new type of oscillating synchronization that oscillates between three different types of synchronizations (anticipatory, complete and lag synchronizations) is identified in unidirectionally coupled nonlinear time-delay systems having two different time-delays, that is feedback delay with a periodic delay time modulation and a constant coupling delay. Intermittent anticipatory, intermittent lag and complete synchronizations are shown to exist in the same system with identical delay time modulations in both the delays. The transition from anticipatory to complete synchronization and from complete to lag synchronization as a function of coupling delay with suitable stability condition is discussed. The intermittent anticipatory and lag synchronizations are characterized by the minimum of similarity functions and the intermittent behavior is characterized by a universal asymptotic $-{3/2}$ power law distribution. It is also shown that the delay time carved out of the trajectories of the time-delay system with periodic delay time modulation cannot be estimated using conventional methods, thereby reducing the possibility of decoding the message by phase space reconstruction.

Nonstationary excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates under the action of periodically varying scattering length with time dependent frequencies

We investigate nonstationary excitations in 3D-Bose-Einstein condensates in a spherically symmetric trap potential under the modulation of scattering length with slowly varying frequencies (adiabatic modulation). By numerically solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation we observe a step-wise increase in the amplitude of oscillation due to successive phase locking between driving frequency and nonlinear frequency. Such a nonstationary excitation has been shown to exist by an analytic approach using variational procedure and perturbation theory in the action-angle variables. By using a canonical perturbation theory, we have identified the successive resonance excitations whenever the driven frequency matches the nonlinear frequency or its subharmonics.

On the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian description of the damped linear harmonic oscillator

Using the modified Prelle- Singer approach, we point out that explicit time independent first integrals can be identified for the damped linear harmonic oscillator in different parameter regimes. Using these constants of motion, an appropriate Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism is developed and the resultant canonical equations are shown to lead to the standard dynamical description. Suitable canonical transformations to standard Hamiltonian forms are also obtained. It is also shown that a possible quantum mechanical description can be developed either in the coordinate or momentum representations using the Hamiltonian forms.

Controlled Parameter Modulations in Secure Digital Signal Transmissions

We propose a simple method for secure digital signal transmission by making some modifications in the single-step parameter modulation technique proposed earlier into overcome certain inherent deficiencies. In the modified method, the parameter modulation is effectively regulated or controlled by the chaotic signal obtained from the transmitting chaotic system so that it has the maximum security. Then, the same idea is also extended to the multistep parameter modulation technique. It is found that both the methods are secure against ciphertext (return map) and plaintex attacks. We have illustrated these methods by means of the Lorenz system.

Experimental realization of strange nonchaotic attractors in a quasiperiodically forced electronic circuit

We have identified the three prominent routes, namely Heagy-Hammel, fractalization and intermittency routes, and their mechanisms for the birth of strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs) in a quasiperiodically forced electronic system constructed using a negative conductance series LCR circuit with a diode both numerically and experimentally. The birth of SNAs by these three routes is verified from both experimental and their corresponding numerical data by maximal Lyapunov exponents, and their variance, Poincaré maps, Fourier amplitude spectrum, spectral distribution function and finite-time Lyapunov exponents. Although these three routes have been identified numerically in different dynamical systems, the experimental observation of all these mechanisms is reported for the first time to our knowledge and that too in a single second order electronic circuit.

Phase synchronization in time-delay systems

Though the notion of phase synchronization has been well studied in chaotic dynamical systems without delay, it has not been realized yet in chaotic time-delay systems exhibiting non-phase coherent hyperchaotic attractors. In this article we report the first identification of phase synchronization in coupled time-delay systems exhibiting hyperchaotic attractor. We show that there is a transition from non-synchronized behavior to phase and then to generalized synchronization as a function of coupling strength. These transitions are characterized by recurrence quantification analysis, by phase differences based on a new transformation of the attractors and also by the changes in the Lyapunov exponents. We have found these transitions in coupled piece-wise linear and in Mackey-Glass time-delay systems.

A nonlocal connection between certain linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations/oscillators

We explore a nonlocal connection between certain linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), representing physically important oscillator systems, and identify a class of integrable nonlinear ODEs of any order. We also devise a method to derive explicit general solutions of the nonlinear ODEs. Interestingly, many well known integrable models can be accommodated into our scheme and our procedure thereby provides further understanding of these models.

Periodic and Localized Solutions of the Long Wave-Short Wave Resonance Interaction Equation

In this paper, we investigate the (2+1) dimensional long wave-short wave resonance interaction (LSRI) equation and show that it possess the Painlevé property. We then solve the LSRI equation using Painlevé truncation approach through which we are able to construct solution in terms of three arbitrary functions. Utilizing the arbitrary functions present in the solution, we have generated a wide class of elliptic function periodic wave solutions and exponentially localized solutions such as dromions, multidromions, instantons, multi-instantons and bounded solitary wave solutions.

Nonintegrability of (2+1)-dimensional continuum isotropic Heisenberg spin system: Painlevé analysis

While many integrable spin systems are known to exist in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions, the integrability property of the physically important (2+1) dimensional isotropic Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin system in the continuum limit has not been investigated in the literature. In this paper, we show through a careful singularity structure analysis of the underlying nonlinear evolution equation that the system admits logarithmic type singular manifolds and so is of non-Painlevé type and is expected to be nonintegrable.

Shape changing (intensity redistribution) collisions of solitons in mixed coupled nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equations

A novel kind of shape changing (intensity redistribution) collision with potential application to signal amplification is identified in the integrable $N$-coupled nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger (CNLS) equations with mixed signs of focusing and defocusing type nonlinearity coefficients. The corresponding soliton solutions for N=2 case are obtained by using Hirota's bilinearization method. The distinguishing feature of the mixed sign CNLS equations is that the soliton solutions can both be singular and regular. Although the general soliton solution admits singularities we present parametric conditions for which non-singular soliton propagation can occur. The multisoliton solutions and a generalization of the results to multicomponent case with arbitrary $N$ are also presented. An appealing feature of soliton collision in the present case is that all the components of a soliton can simultaneously enhance their amplitudes, which can lead to new kind of amplification process without induced noise.

A Simple and Unified Approach to Identify Integrable Nonlinear Oscillators and Systems

In this paper, we consider a generalized second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation of the form $\ddot{x}+(k_1x^q+k_2)\dot{x}+k_3x^{2q+1}+k_4x^{q+1}+λ_1x=0$, where $k_i$'s, $i=1,2,3,4$, $λ_1$ and $q$ are arbitrary parameters, which includes several physically important nonlinear oscillators such as the simple harmonic oscillator, anharmonic oscillator, force-free Helmholtz oscillator, force-free Duffing and Duffing-van der Pol oscillators, modified Emden type equation and its hierarchy, generalized Duffing-van der Pol oscillator equation hierarchy and so on and investigate the integrability properties of this rather general equation. We identify several new integrable cases for arbitrary value of the exponent $q, q\in R$. The $q=1$ and $q=2$ cases are analyzed in detail and the results are generalized to arbitrary $q$. Our results show that many classical integrable nonlinear oscillators can be derived as sub-cases of our results and significantly enlarge the list of integrable equations that exist in the contemporary literature. To explore the above underlying results we use the recently introduced generalized extended Prelle-Singer procedure applicable to second order ODEs. As an added advantage of the method we not only identify integrable regimes but also construct integrating factors, integrals of motion and general solutions for the integrable cases, wherever possible, and bring out the mathematical structures associated with each of the integrable cases.

A unification in the theory of linearization of second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations

In this letter, we introduce a new generalized linearizing transformation (GLT) for second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (SNODEs). The well known invertible point (IPT) and non-point transformations (NPT) can be derived as sub-cases of the GLT. A wider class of nonlinear ODEs that cannot be linearized through NPT and IPT can be linearized by this GLT. We also illustrate how to construct GLTs and to identify the form of the linearizable equations and propose a procedure to derive the general solution from this GLT for the SNODEs. We demonstrate the theory with two examples which are of contemporary interest.
