Study on the dependence of the two-dimensional Ikeda model on the parameter

Based on the property of solutions of the nonlinear differential equation,this paper focuses on the behavior of solutions to the two-dimensional Ikeda model,especially the dependence of the solutions on the parameter.The dependency relationship of the two-dimensional Ikeda model on the parameter is revealed by a large sample of proper numerical simulations.With the parameter varying from 0 to 1,the numerical solutions change from a point attractor to periodic solutions,then to chaos,and end up with a limit cycle.Furthermore,the route from bifurcation to chaos is shown to be continuous period-doubling bifurcations.The nonlinear structures presented by the solution of the two-dimensional Ikeda model indicate that,by setting different model parameters,one can test a new method that will be adopted to study atmospheric or oceanic predictability and/or stability.The corresponding test results provide some useful information on the ability of the new approach overcoming the impacts of strong nonlinearity.
