Global generalized synchronization in networks of different time-delay systems

We show that global generalized synchronization (GS) exists in structurally different time-delay systems, even with different orders, with quite different fractal (Kaplan-Yorke) dimensions, which emerges via partial GS in symmetrically coupled regular networks. We find that there exists a smooth transformation in such systems, which maps them to a common GS manifold as corroborated by their maximal transverse Lyapunov exponent. In addition, an analytical stability condition using the Krasvoskii-Lyapunov theory is deduced. This phenomenon of GS in strongly distinct systems opens a new way for an effective control of pathological synchronous activity by means of extremely small perturbations to appropriate variables in the synchronization manifold.

Akhmediev breathers, Ma solitons and general breathers from rogue waves: A case study in Manakov system

We present explicit forms of general breather (GB), Akhmediev breather (AB), Ma soliton (MS) and rogue wave (RW) solutions of the two component nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, namely Manakov equation. We derive these solutions through two different routes. In the forward route we first construct a suitable periodic envelope soliton solution to this model from which we derive GB, AB, MS and RW solutions. We then consider the RW solution as the starting point and derive AB, MS and GB in the reverse direction. The second approach has not been illustrated so far for the two component NLS equation. Our results show that the above rational solutions of the Manakov system can be derived from the standard scalar nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a modified nonlinearity parameter. Through this two way approach we establish a broader understanding of these rational solutions which will be of interest in a variety of situations.

Generating Finite Dimensional Integrable Nonlinear Dynamical Systems

In this article, we present a brief overview of some of the recent progress made in identifying and generating finite dimensional integrable nonlinear dynamical systems, exhibiting interesting oscillatory and other solution properties, including quantum aspects. Particularly we concentrate on Lienard type nonlinear oscillators and their generalizations and coupled versions. Specific systems include Mathews-Lakshmanan oscillators, modified Emden equations, isochronous oscillators and generalizations. Nonstandard Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of some of these systems are also briefly touched upon. Nonlocal transformations and linearization aspects are also discussed.

Applicability of 0-1 Test for Strange Nonchaotic Attractors

We show that the recently introduced 0-1 test can successfully distinguish between strange nonchaotic attractors(SNAs) and periodic/quasiperiodic/chaotic attractors, by suitably choosing the arbitrary parameter associated with the translation variables in terms of the golden mean number which avoids resonance with the quasiperiodic force. We further characterize the transition from quasiperiodic to chaotic motion via SNAs interms of the 0-1 test. We demonstrate that the test helps to detect different dynamical transitions to SNAs from quasiperiodic attractor or the transitions from SNAs to chaos. We illustrate the performance of the 0-1 test in detecting transitions to SNAs in quasiperiodically forced logistic map, cubic map, and Duffing oscillator.

Synchronization of an array of spin torque nano oscillators in periodic applied external magnetic field

Considering an array of spin torque transfer nano oscillators (STNOs), we have investigated the synchronization property of the system under the action of a common periodically driven applied external magnetic field by numerically analyzing the underlying system of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski (LLGS) equations for the macro-spin variables. We find the novel result that the applied external magnetic field can act as a medium to induce synchronization of periodic oscillations, both in-phase and anti-phase, even without coupling through spin current, thereby leading to the exciting possibility of enhancement of microwave power in a straightforward way.

Nonsmooth Bifurcations, Transient Hyperchaos and Hyperchaotic Beats in a Memristive Murali-Lakshmanan-Chua Circuit

In this paper, a memristive Murali-Lakshmanan-Chua (MLC) circuit is built by replacing the nonlinear element of an ordinary MLC circuit, namely the Chua's diode, with a three segment piecewise linear active flux controlled memristor. The bistability nature of the memristor introduces two discontinuty boundaries or switching manifolds in the circuit topology. As a result, the circuit becomes a piecewise smooth system of second order. Grazing bifurcations, which are essentially a form of discontinuity induced non-smooth bifurcations, occur at these boundaries and govern the dynamics of the circuit. While the interaction of the memristor aided self oscillations of the circuit and the external sinusoidal forcing result in the phenomenon of beats occurring in the circuit, grazing bifurcations endow them with chaotic and hyper chaotic nature. In addition the circuit admits a codimension-5 bifurcation and transient hyper chaos. Grazing bifurcations as well as other behaviors have been analyzed numerically using time series plots, phase portraits, bifurcation diagram, power spectra and Lyapunov spectrum, as well as the recent 0-1 K test for chaos, obtained after constructing a proper Zero Time Discontinuity Map (ZDM) and Poincare Discontinuity Map (PDM) analytically. Multisim simulations using a model of piecewise linear memristor have also been used to confirm some of the behaviors.

Classification of Lie point symmetries for quadratic Li$\acute{\textbf{e}}$nard type equation $\ddot{x}+f(x)\dot{x}^2+g(x)=0$

In this paper we carry out a complete classification of the Lie point symmetry groups associated with the quadratic Li$\acute{e}$nard type equation, $\ddot {x} + f(x){\dot {x}}^{2} + g(x)= 0$, where $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are arbitrary functions of $x$. The symmetry analysis gets divided into two cases, $(i)$ the maximal (eight parameter) symmetry group and $(ii)$ non-maximal (three, two and one parameter) symmetry groups. We identify the most general form of the quadratic Li$\acute{e}$nard equation in each of these cases. In the case of eight parameter symmetry group, the identified general equation becomes linearizable as well as isochronic. We present specific examples of physical interest. For the nonmaximal cases, the identified equations are all integrable and include several physically interesting examples such as the Mathews-Lakshmanan oscillator, particle on a rotating parabolic well, etc. We also analyse the underlying equivalence transformations.

Zero-lag synchronization in coupled time-delayed piecewise linear electronic circuits

We investigate and report an experimental confirmation of zero-lag synchronization (ZLS) in a system of three coupled time-delayed piecewise linear electronic circuits via dynamical relaying with different coupling configurations, namely mutual and subsystem coupling configurations. We have observed that when there is a feedback between the central unit (relay unit) and at least one of the outer units, ZLS occurs in the two outer units whereas the central and outer units exhibit inverse phase synchronization (IPS). We find that in the case of mutual coupling configuration ZLS occurs both in periodic and hyperchaotic regimes, while in the subsystem coupling configuration it occurs only in the hyperchaotic regime. Snapshots of the time evolution of outer circuits as observed from the oscilloscope confirm the occurrence of ZLS experimentally. The quality of ZLS is numerically verified by correlation coefficient and similarity function measures. Further, the transition to ZLS is verified from the changes in the largest Lyapunov exponents and the correlation coefficient as a function of the coupling strength. IPS is experimentally confirmed using time series plots and also can be visualized using the concept of localized sets which are also corroborated by numerical simulations. In addition, we have calculated the correlation of probability of recurrence to quantify the phase coherence. We have also analytically derived a sufficient condition for the stability of ZLS using the Krasovskii-Lyapunov theory.

Method of generating $N$-dimensional isochronous nonsingular Hamiltonian systems

In this paper we develop a straightforward procedure to construct higher dimensional isochronous Hamiltonian systems. We first show that a class of singular Hamiltonian systems obtained through the $Ω$-modified procedure is equivalent to constrained Newtonian systems. Even though such systems admit isochronous oscillations, they are effectively one degree of freedom systems due to the constraints. Then we generalize the procedure in terms of $Ω_i$-modified Hamiltonians and identify suitable canonically conjugate coordinates such that the constructed $Ω_i$-modified Hamiltonian is \emph{nonsingular} and the corresponding Newton's equation of motion is constraint free. The procedure is first illustrated for two dimensional systems and subsequently extended to $N$-dimensional systems. The general solution of these systems are obtained by integrating the underlying equations and is shown to admit isochronous as well as amplitude independent quasiperiodic solutions depending on the choice of parameters.

Exact quantization of a PT-symmetric (reversible) Liénard-type nonlinear oscillator

We carry out an exact quantization of a PT symmetric (reversible) Liénard type one dimensional nonlinear oscillator both semiclassically and quantum mechanically. The associated time independent classical Hamiltonian is of non-standard type and is invariant under a combined coordinate reflection and time reversal transformation. We use von Roos symmetric ordering procedure to write down the appropriate quantum Hamiltonian. While the quantum problem cannot be tackled in coordinate space, we show how the problem can be successfully solved in momentum space by solving the underlying Schrödinger equation therein. We obtain explicitly the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions (in momentum space) and deduce the remarkable result that the spectrum agrees exactly with that of the linear harmonic oscillator, which is also confirmed by a semiclassical modified Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule, while the eigenfunctions are completely different.

On the complete integrability of a nonlinear oscillator from group theoretical perspective

In this paper, we investigate the integrability aspects of a physically important nonlinear oscillator which lacks sufficient number of Lie point symmetries but can be integrated by quadrature. We explore the hidden symmetry, construct a second integral and derive the general solution of this oscillator by employing the recently introduced $λ$-symmetry approach and thereby establish the complete integrability of this nonlinear oscillator equation from a group theoretical perspective.

Transition to complete synchronization and global intermittent synchronization in an array of time-delay systems

We report the nature of transitions from nonsynchronous to complete synchronization (CS) state in arrays of time-delay systems, where the systems are coupled with instantaneous diffusive coupling. We demonstrate that the transition to CS occurs distinctly for different coupling configurations. In particular, for unidirectional coupling, locally (microscopically) synchronization transition occurs in a very narrow range of coupling strength but for a global one (macroscopically) it occurs sequentially in a broad range of coupling strength preceded by an intermittent synchronization. On the other hand, in the case of mutual coupling a very large value of coupling strength is required for local synchronization and, consequently, all the local subsystems synchronize immediately for the same value of the coupling strength and hence globally synchronization also occurs in a narrow range of the coupling strength. In the transition regime, we observe a new type of synchronization transition where long intervals of high quality synchronization which are interrupted at irregular times by intermittent chaotic bursts simultaneously in all the systems, which we designate as global intermittent synchronization (GIS). We also relate our synchronization transition results to the above specific types using unstable periodic orbit theory. The above studies are carried out in a well known piecewise linear time-delay system.

Global and Partial Phase Synchronizations in Arrays of Piecewise Linear Time-Delay Systems

In this paper, we report the identification of global and partial phase synchronizations in linear arrays of unidirectionally coupled piecewise linear time-delay systems with two different coupling configurations. In particular, in a linear array with open end boundary conditions, global phase synchronization (GPS) is achieved by a sequential synchronization as a function of the coupling strength (a second order transition). Further, the asynchronous ones in the array with respect to the main sequentially synchronized cluster organize themselves to form clusters before they achieve synchronization with the main cluster. On the other hand, in a linear array with closed end boundary conditions (ring topology), partial phase synchronization (PPS) is achieved by forming different groups of phase synchronized clusters above some threshold value of the coupling strength (a first order transition) where they continue to be in a stable PPS state. We confirm the occurrence of both global and partial phase synchronizations in two different piecewise linear time-delay systems using various numerical methods.

A class of solvable coupled nonlinear oscillators with amplitude independent frequencies

Existence of amplitude independent frequencies of oscillation is an unusual property for a nonlinear oscillator. We find that a class of N coupled nonlinear Liénard type oscillators exhibit this interesting property. We show that a specific subset can be explicitly solved from which we demonstrate the existence of periodic and quasiperiodic solutions. Another set of $N$-coupled nonlinear oscillators, possessing the amplitude independent nature of frequencies, is almost integrable in the sense that the system can be reduced to a single nonautonomous first order scalar differential equation which can be easily integrated numerically.

Anticipating, Complete and Lag Synchronizations in RC Phase-Shift Network Based Coupled Chua's Circuits without Delay

We construct a new RC phase shift network based Chua's circuit, which exhibits a period-doubling bifurcation route to chaos. Using coupled versions of such a phase-shift network based Chua's oscillators, we describe a new method for achieving complete synchronization (CS), approximate lag synchronization (LS) and approximate anticipating synchronization (AS) without delay or parameter mismatch. Employing the Pecora and Carroll approach, chaos synchronization is achieved in coupled chaotic oscillators, where the drive system variables control the response system. As a result, AS or LS or CS is demonstrated without using a variable delay line both experimentally and numerically.

Exact solutions of coupled Liénard-type nonlinear systems using factorization technique

General solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are in general difficult to find although powerful integrability techniques exist in the literature for this purpose. It has been shown that in some scalar cases particular solutions may be found with little effort if it is possible to factorize the equation in terms of first order differential operators. In our present study we use this factorization technique to address the problem of finding solutions of a system of general two-coupled Liénard type nonlinear differential equations. We describe a generic algorithm to identify specific classes of Liénard type systems for which solutions may be found. We demonstrate this method by identifying a class of two-coupled equations for which the particular solution can be found by solving a Bernoulli equation. This class of equations include coupled generalization of the modified Emden equation. We further deduce the general solution of a class of coupled ordinary differential equations using the factorization procedure discussed in this manuscript.

A systematic method of finding linearizing transformations for nonlinear ordinary differential equations: II. Extension to coupled ODEs

In this second paper on the method of deriving linearizing transformations for nonlinear ODEs, we extend the method to a set of two coupled second order nonlinear ODEs. We show that besides the conventional point, Sundman and generalized linearizing transformations one can also find a large class of mixed or hybrid type linearizing transformations like point-Sundman, point-generalized linearizing transformation and Sundman-generalized linearizing transformation in coupled second order ODEs using the integrals of motion. We propose suitable algorithms to identify all these transformations (with maximal in number) in a straightforward manner. We illustrate the method of deriving each one of the linearizing transformations with a suitable example.

A systematic method of finding linearizing transformations for nonlinear ordinary differential equations: I. Scalar case

In this set of papers we formulate a stand alone method to derive maximal number of linearizing transformations for nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of any order including coupled ones from a knowledge of fewer number of integrals of motion. The proposed algorithm is simple, straightforward and efficient and helps to unearth several new types of linearizing transformations besides the known ones in the literature. To make our studies systematic we divide our analysis into two parts. In the first part we confine our investigations to the scalar ODEs and in the second part we focuss our attention on a system of two coupled second order ODEs. In the case of scalar ODEs, we consider second and third order nonlinear ODEs in detail and discuss the method of deriving maximal number of linearizing transformations irrespective of whether it is local or nonlocal type and illustrate the underlying theory with suitable examples. As a by-product of this investigation we unearth a new type of linearizing transformation in third order nonlinear ODEs. Finally the study is extended to the case of general scalar ODEs. We then move on to the study of two coupled second order nonlinear ODEs in the next part and show that the algorithm brings out a wide variety of linearization transformations. The extraction of maximal number of linearizing transformations in every case is illustrated with suitable examples.
