nlin.CD
Some results of numerical study of the canonical map with a sawtooth force are given and discovered new unexpected dynamical effects are described. In particular, it is shown that if the values of the system parameter K belong to the countable set determined by Ovsyannikov's theorem, separatrices of primary resonances ...

Aspects of the stochastic Burgers equation and their connection with turbulence
nlin.CD
We present results for the 1 dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation when the spatial range of the forcing varies. As the range of forcing moves from small scales to large scales, the system goes from a chaotic, structureless state to a structured state dominated by shocks. This transition takes place throug...

Nonintegrability and Chaos in the Anisotropic Manev Problem
nlin.CD
The anisotropic Manev problem, which lies at the intersection of classical, quantum, and relativity physics, describes the motion of two point masses in an anisotropic space under the influence of a Newtonian force-law with a relativistic correction term. Using an extension of the Poincare'-Melnikov method, we first pr...

From synchronization to multistability in two coupled quadratic maps
nlin.CD
The phenomenology of a system of two coupled quadratic maps is studied both analytically and numerically. Conditions for synchronization are given and the bifurcations of periodic orbits from this regime are identified. In addition, we show that an arbitrarily large number of distinct stable periodic orbits may be obta...

Coherence resonance near blowout bifurcation in nonlinear dynamical systems
nlin.CD
Previous studies have shown that noise can induce coherence resonance in some nonlinear dynamical systems close to a bifurcation of a periodic motion, such as in excitable systems. We demonstrate that coherence resonance can be observed in systems close to a {\sl blowout bifurcation}. It is shown that for dynamical sys...

Entropy Production in a Persistent Random Walk
nlin.CD
We consider a one-dimensional persisent random walk viewed as a deterministic process with a form of time reversal symmetry. Particle reservoirs placed at both ends of the system induce a density current which drives the system out of equilibrium. The phase space distribution is singular in the stationary state and has...

About universality of lifetime statistics in quantum chaotic scattering
nlin.CD
The statistics of the resonance widths and the behavior of the survival probability is studied in a particular model of quantum chaotic scattering (a particle in a periodic potential subject to static and time-periodic forces) introduced earlier in Ref.[5,6]. The coarse-grained distribution of the resonance widths is s...

Anomalous scaling of a passive scalar in the presence of strong anisotropy
nlin.CD
Field theoretic renormalization group and the operator product expansion are applied to a model of a passive scalar field, advected by the Gaussian strongly anisotropic velocity field. Inertial-range anomalous scaling behavior is established, and explicit asymptotic expressions for the n-th order structure functions of...

Absence of supersensitivity to small input signals in generalized on--off systems
nlin.CD
It has recently been shown that nonlinear skew product dynamical systems with invariant subspaces which are capable of displaying on-off intermittency can show supersensitivity to small input signals. Here we show that this supersensitivity is absent for more general dynamical systems with non-skew product structure,...

Nature of matrix elements in the quantum chaotic domain of interacting particle systems
nlin.CD
There is a newly emerging understanding that in the chaotic domain of isolated finite interacting many particle systems smoothed densities define the statistical description of these systems and these densities follow from embedded (two-body) random matrix ensembles and their various deformations. These ensembles predi...

Exploring phase space localization of chaotic eigenstates via parametric variation
nlin.CD
In a previous Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 4158 (1996)], a new correlation measure was introduced that sensitively probes phase space localization properties of eigenstates. It is based on a system's response to varying an external parameter. The measure correlates level velocities with overlap intensities between the ...

Phase space localization of chaotic eigenstates: Violating ergodicity
nlin.CD
The correlation between level velocities and eigenfunction intensities provides a new way of exploring phase space localization in quantized non-integrable systems. It can also serve as a measure of deviations from ergodicity due to quantum effects for typical observables. This paper relies on two well known paradigms ...

Breaking conjugate pairing in thermostatted billiards by magnetic field
nlin.CD
We demonstrate that in the thermostatted three-dimensional Lorentz gas the symmetry of the Lyapunov spectrum can be broken by adding to the system an external magnetic field not perpendicular to the electric field. For perpendicular field vectors, there is a Hamiltonian reformulation of the dynamics and the conjugate p...
