Complex dynamics generated by negative and positive feedback delays of a prey-predator system with prey refuge: Hopf bifurcation to Chaos

Various field and laboratory experiments show that prey refuge plays a significant role in the stability of prey-predator dynamics. On the other hand, theoretical studies show that delayed system exhibits a much more realistic dynamics than its non-delayed counterpart. In this paper, we study a multi-delayed prey-predator model with prey refuge. We consider modified Holling Type II response function that incorporates the effect of prey refuge and then introduce two discrete delays in the model system. A negative feedback delay is considered in the logistic prey growth rate to represent density dependent feedback mechanism and a positive feedback delay is considered to represent the gestation time of the predator. Our study reveals that the system exhibits different dynamical behaviors, viz., stable coexistence, periodic coexistence or chaos depending on the values of the delay parameters and degree of prey refuge. The interplay between two delays for a fixed value of prey refuge has also been determined. It is noticed that these delays work in a complementary fashion. In addition, using the normal form theory and center manifold argument, we derive the explicit formulae for determining the direction of the bifurcation, the stability and other properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions.

Systems that become $\cal{PT}$ symmetric through interaction

In this article, we consider an interesting class of optical and other systems in which the interaction or coupling makes the systems to be $\cal{PT}$-symmetric. We aim to compare their dynamical behaviors with that of the usual $\cal{PT}$ symmetric systems with intrinsic loss-gain terms. In particular, we focus on the interesting non-reciprocal nature of the $\cal{PT}$ symmetric systems which has a promising application in optical diodes and optical isolators. We check whether the non-reciprocal nature is common to all $\cal{PT}$ symmetric systems and, if not, what are the situations under which it can be observed. Due to the recent interest in studying spontaneous symmetry breaking in coupled waveguide systems, we here present such symmetry breaking bifurcations in certain reciprocal and non-reciprocal $\cal{PT}$ symmetric systems.

Phase-flip chimera induced by environmental nonlocal coupling

We report the emergence of a collective dynamical state, namely phase-flip chimera, from an en- semble of identical nonlinear oscillators that are coupled indirectly via the dynamical variables from a common environment, which in turn are nonlocally coupled. The phase-flip chimera is character- ized by the coexistence of two adjacent out-of-phase synchronized coherent domains interspersed by an incoherent domain, in which the nearby oscillators are in out-of-phase synchronized states. At- tractors of the coherent domains are either from the same or different basins of attractions depending on whether they are periodic or chaotic. Conventional chimera precedes the phase-flip chimera in general. Further, the phase-flip chimera emerges after the completely synchronized evolution of the ensemble in contrast to conventional chimeras which emerge as an intermediate state between completely incoherent and coherent states. We have also characterized the observed dynamical transitions using the strength of incoherence, probability distribution of correlation coefficient and the framework of master stability function.

Imperfect synchronized states and chimera states in two interacting populations of nonlocally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators

We investigate the emergence of different kinds of imperfect synchronized states and chimera states in two interacting populations of nonlocally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. We find that the complete synchronization in population-I and existence of solitary oscillators which escape from the synchronized group in population-II lead to imperfect synchronized states for sufficiently small values of nonisochronicity parameter. Interestingly, on increasing the strength of this parameter further there occurs an onset of mixed imperfect synchronized states where the solitary oscillators occur from both the populations. Synchronized oscillators from both the populations are locked to a common average frequency. In both the cases of imperfect synchronized states synchronized oscillators exhibit periodic motion while the solitary oscillators are quasi-periodic in nature. In this region, for spatially prepared initial conditions, we can observe the mixed chimera states where the coexistence of synchronized and desynchronized oscillations occur from both the populations. On the other hand, imperfect synchronized states are not always stable, and they can drift aperiodically due to instability caused by an increase of nonisochronicity parameter. We observe that these states are robust to the introduction of frequency mismatch between the two populations.

Interplay of symmetries and other integrability quantifiers in finite dimensional integrable nonlinear dynamical systems

In this work, we establish a connection between the extended Prelle-Singer procedure with other widely used analytical methods to identify integrable systems in the case of $n^{th}$-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). By synthesizing these methods we bring out the interlink between Lie point symmetries, contact symmetries, $λ$-symmetries, adjoint-symmetries, null forms, Darboux polynomials, integrating factors, Jacobi last multiplier and generalized $λ$-symmetries corresponding to the $n^{th}$-order ODEs. We also prove these interlinks with suitable examples. By exploiting these interconnections, the characteristic quantities associated with different methods can be deduced without solving the associated determining equations.

Different kinds of chimera death states in nonlocally coupled oscillators

We investigate the significance of nonisochronicity parameter in a network of nonlocally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators with symmetry breaking form. We observe that the presence of nonisochronicity parameter leads to structural changes in the chimera death region while varying the strength of the interaction. This gives rise to the existence of different types of chimera death states such as multi-chimera death state, type-I periodic chimera death (PCD) state and, type-II periodic chimera death (PCD) state. We also find that the number of periodic domains in both the types of PCD states exponentially decreases with an increase of coupling range and obeys a power law under nonlocal coupling. Additionally, we also analyze the structural changes of chimera death states by reducing the system of dynamical equations to a phase model through the phase approximation. We also briefly study the role of nonisochronicity parameter on chimera states, where the existence of multi-chimera state with respect to the coupling range is pointed out. Moreover, we also analyze the robustness of the chimera death state to perturbations in the natural frequencies of the oscillators.

The inverse problem of a mixed Liénard type nonlinear oscillator equation from symmetry perspective

In this paper, we discuss the inverse problem for a mixed Liénard type nonlinear oscillator equation $\ddot{x}+f(x)\dot{x}^2+g(x)\dot{x}+h(x)=0$, where $f(x),\,g(x)$ and $h(x)$ are arbitrary functions of $x$. Very recently, we have reported the Lie point symmetries of this equation. By exploiting the interconnection between Jacobi last multiplier, Lie point symmetries and Prelle-Singer procedure we construct a time independent integral for the case exhibiting maximal symmetry from which we identify the associated conservative non-standard Lagrangian and Hamiltonian functions. The classical dynamics of the nonlinear oscillator is also discussed and certain special properties including isochronous oscillations are brought out.

Manipulating localized matter waves in multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates

We analyze vector localized solutions of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with variable nonlinearity parameter and external trap potential through similarity transformation technique which transforms the two coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations into a pair of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with constant coefficients under a specific integrability condition. In this analysis we consider three different types of external trap potentials: a time-independent trap, a time-dependent monotonic trap, and a time-dependent periodic trap. We point out the existence of different interesting localized structures, namely rogue waves, dark-and bright soliton-rogue wave, and rogue wave-breather-like wave for the above three cases of trap potentials. We show how the vector localized density profiles in a constant background get deformed when we tune the strength of the trap parameter. Further we investigate the nature of the trajectories of the nonautonomous rogue waves. We also construct the dark-dark rogue wave solution for repulsive-repulsive interaction of two-component BECs and analyze the associated characteristics for the three different kinds of traps. We then deduce single, two and three composite rogue waves for three component BECs and discuss the correlated characteristics when we tune the strength of the trap parameter for different trap potentials.

Different Types of Synchronization in Coupled Network Based Chaotic Circuits

We propose a simple and new unified method to achieve lag, complete and anticipatory synchronizations in coupled nonlinear systems. It can be considered as an alternative to the subsystem and intentional parameter mismatch methods. This novel method is illustrated in a unidirectionally coupled RC phase shift network based Chua's circuit. Employing feedback coupling, different types of chaos synchronization are observed experimentally and numerically in coupled identical chaotic oscillators {\emph{without using time delay}}. With a simple switch in the experimental set up we observe different kinds of synchronization. We also analyze the coupled system with numerical simulations.

Bi-$\cal{PT}$ symmetry in nonlinearly damped dynamical systems and tailoring $\cal{PT}$ regions with position dependent loss-gain profiles

We investigate the remarkable role of position dependent damping in determining the parametric regions of symmetry breaking in nonlinear $\cal{PT}$-symmetric systems. We illustrate the nature of $\cal{PT}$-symmetry preservation and breaking with reference to a remarkable integrable scalar nonlinear system. In the two dimensional cases of such position dependent damped systems, we unveil the existence of a class of novel bi-$\cal{PT}$-symmetric systems which have two fold $\cal{PT}$ symmetries. We analyze the dynamics of these systems and show how symmetry breaking occurs, that is whether the symmetry breaking of the two $\cal{PT}$ symmetries occurs in pair or occurs one by one. The addition of linear damping in these nonlinearly damped systems induces competition between the two types of damping. This competition results in a $\cal{PT}$ phase transition in which the $\cal{PT}$ symmetry is broken for lower loss/gain strength and is restored by increasing the loss/gain strength. We also show that by properly designing the form of the position dependent damping, we can tailor the $\cal{PT}$-symmetric regions of the system.

Chimera states in bursting neurons

We study the existence of chimera states in pulse-coupled networks of bursting Hindmarsh-Rose neurons with nonlocal, global and local (nearest neighbor) couplings. Through a linear stability analysis, we discuss the behavior of stability function in the incoherent (i.e. disorder), coherent, chimera and multi-chimera states. Surprisingly, we find that chimera and multi-chimera states occur even using local nearest neighbor interaction in a network of identical bursting neurons alone. This is in contrast with the existence of chimera states in populations of nonlocally or globally coupled oscillators. A chemical synaptic coupling function is used which plays a key role in the emergence of chimera states in bursting neurons. Existence of chimera, multi-chimera, coherent and disordered states are confirmed by means of the recently introduced statistical measures and mean phase velocity.

Order preserving contact transformations and dynamical symmetries of scalar and coupled Riccati and Abel chains

We identify contact transformations which linearize the given equations in the Riccati and Abel chains of nonlinear scalar and coupled ordinary differential equations to the same order. The identified contact transformations are not of Cole-Hopf type and are \emph {new} to the literature. The linearization of Abel chain of equations is also demonstrated explicitly for the first time. The contact transformations can be utilized to derive dynamical symmetries of the associated nonlinear ODEs. The wider applicability of identifying this type of contact transformations and the method of deriving dynamical symmetries by using them is illustrated through two dimensional generalizations of the Riccati and Abel chains as well.

Explicit construction of single input - single output logic gates from three soliton solution of Manakov system

We construct single input logic gates using the energy sharing collisions of a minimal number of (three) bright optical solitons associated with the three soliton solution of the integrable Manakov system. As computation requires state changes to represent binary logic, here we make use of the state change of a particular soliton during its sequential collision with other two solitons for constructing single input gates. As a consequence, we clearly demonstrate the construction of various one-input logic gates such as COPY gate, NOT gate and ONE gate using energy sharing three soliton collision of Manakov system. This type of realization of logic gates just from a three soliton collision (pair-wise interaction) is clearly distinct from the earlier studies which require separate collisions of four solitons.

Integrable (2+1)-Dimensional Spin Models with Self-Consistent Potentials

Integrable spin systems possess interesting geometrical and gauge invariance properties and have important applications in applied magnetism and nanophysics. They are also intimately connected to the nonlinear Schrödinger family of equations. In this paper, we identify three different integrable spin systems in (2 + 1) dimensions by introducing the interaction of the spin field with more than one scalar potential, or vector potential, or both. We also obtain the associated Lax pairs. We discuss various interesting reductions in (2 + 1) and (1 + 1) dimensions. We also deduce the equivalent nonlinear Schrödinger family of equations, including the (2 + 1)-dimensional version of nonlinear Schrödinger--Hirota--Maxwell--Bloch equations, along with their Lax pairs.

Feedback as a mechanism for the resurrection of oscillations from death state

The quenching of oscillations in interacting systems leads to several unwanted situations, which necessitate a suitable remedy to overcome the quenching. In this connection, this work addresses a mechanism that can resurrect oscillations in a typical situation. Through both numerical and analytical studies, we show the candidate which is capable of resurrecting oscillations is nothing but the feedback, the one which is profoundly used in dynamical control and in bio-therapies. Even in the case of a rather general system, we demonstrate analytically the applicability of the technique over one of the oscillation quenched states called amplitude death state. We also discuss some of the features of this mechanism such as adaptability of the technique with the feedback of only a few of the oscillators.

Effect of asymmetry parameter on the dynamical states of nonlocally coupled nonlinear oscillators

We show that coexisting domains of coherent and incoherent oscillations can be induced in an ensemble of any identical nonlinear dynamical systems using the nonlocal rotational matrix coupling with an asymmetry parameter. Further, chimera is shown to emerge in a wide range of the asymmetry parameter in contrast to near $\fracπ{2}$ values of it employed in the earlier works. We have also corroborated our results using the strength of incoherence in the frequency domain ($S_ω$) and in the amplitude domain ($S$) thereby distinguishing the frequency and amplitude chimeras. The robust nature of the asymmetry parameter in inducing chimeras in any generic dynamical system is established using ensembles of identical Rössler oscillators, Lorenz systems, and Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neurons in their chaotic regimes.

Impact of symmetry breaking in networks of globally coupled oscillators

We analyze the consequences of symmetry breaking in the coupling in a network of globally coupled identical Stuart-Landau oscillators. We observe that symmetry breaking leads to increased disorderliness in the dynamical behavior of oscillatory states and consequently results in a rich variety of dynamical states. Depending on the strength of the nonisochronicity parameter, we find various dynamical states such as amplitude chimera, amplitude cluster, frequency chimera and frequency cluster states. In addition we also find disparate transition routes to recently observed chimera death state in the presence of symmetry breaking even with global coupling. We also analytically verify the chimera death region which corroborates the numerical results. The above results are compared with that of the symmetry preserving case as well.

Emergence of coexisting coherence and incoherence by an external forcing

A common external forcing can cause a saddle-node bifurcation in an ensemble of identical Duffing oscillators by breaking the symmetry of the individual bistable (double-well) unit. The strength of the forcing determines the separation between the saddle and node, which in turn dictates different dynamical transitions depending on the distribution of the initial states of the oscillators. In particular, chimera-like states appear in the vicinity of the saddle-node bifurcation for which theoretical explanation is provided from the stability of slow-scale dynamics of the original system of equations. Further, as a consequence, it is shown that even a linear nearest neighbor coupling can lead to the manifestation of the chimera states in an ensemble of identical Duffing oscillators in the presence of the common external forcing.
