Chaos in planar oscillations of a Toda particle

Yavas, O
Akkas, N
The dynamic behaviour of a Toda particle is investigated numerically. The system is a discrete spring-mass system and it oscillates in a plane two-dimensionally under the action of a harmonic excitation. Periodic and chaotic motions are shown to be possible in the parameter space. Numerical methods are used to obtain the time histories, the Poincare maps, the Lyapunov spectra, their fractal dimensions and the power spectra. It is shown that the system is sensitive to initial conditions. The two- and three-dimensional chaos diagrams are convenient in interpreting chaotic behaviour. (C) Elsevier Science Ltd

Stability criteria for linear Hamiltonian systems under impulsive perturbations
Kayar, Z.; Zafer, Ağacık (2014-03-01)
Stability criteria are given for planar linear periodic Hamiltonian systems with impulse effect by making use of a Lyapunov type inequality. A disconjugacy criterion is also established. The results improve the related ones in the literature for such systems.
Chaos in Matrix Gauge Theories with Massive Deformations
Başkan, K.; Kürkcüoğlu, Seçkin; Oktay, O.; Taşcı, Cankut (2022-11-23)
Starting from an SU(N) matrix quantum mechanics model with massive deformation terms and by introducing an ansatz configuration involving fuzzy four- and two-spheres with collective time dependence, we obtain a family of effective Hamiltonians, Hn, (N = 16 (n + 1)(n + 2)(n + 3)) and examine their emerging chaotic dynamics. Through numerical work, we model the variation of the largest Lyapunov exponents as a function of the energy and find that they vary either as ∝ (E − (En)F)1/4 or ∝ E1/4, where (En)F stan...
Continuous-time nonlinear estimation filters using UKF-aided gaussian sum representations
Gökçe, Murat; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
A nonlinear filtering method is developed for continuous-time nonlinear systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time by means of UKFaided Gaussian sum representations. The time evolution of the probability density function (pdf) of the state variables (or the a priori pdf) is approximated by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically using Euler’s method. At every Euler step, the values of the a priori pdf are evaluated at deterministic sample points. These values are used with Ga...
STABILITY OF CONTROL FORCES IN REDUNDANT MULTIBODY SYSTEMS
IDER, SK (1996-01-03)
In this paper inverse dynamics of redundant multibody systems using a minimum number of control forces is formulated. It is shown that the control forces and the task accelerations may become noncausal at certain configurations, yielding the dynamical equation set of the system to be singular. For a given set of tasks, each different set of actuators leads to a different system motion and also to different singular configurations. To avoid the singularities in the numerical solution, the dynamical equations...
Stability in cellular neural networks with a piecewise constant argument
Akhmet, Marat; Yılmaz, Elanur (2010-03-01)
In this paper, by using the concept of differential equations with piecewise constant arguments of generalized type [1-4], a model of cellular neural networks (CNNs) [5,6] is developed. The Lyapunov-Razumikhin technique is applied to find sufficient conditions for the uniform asymptotic stability of equilibria. Global exponential stability is investigated by means of Lyapunov functions. An example with numerical simulations is worked out to illustrate the results.
