Heteroclinic Cycles in a Class of 3-Dimensional Piecewise Affine Systems

This paper explores the existence of heteroclinic cycles and corresponding chaotic dynamics in a class of 3-dimensional two-zone piecewise affine systems. Moreover, the heteroclinic cycles connect two saddle foci and intersect the switching manifold at two points and the switching manifold is composed of two perpendicular planes.

The Hausdorff Dimension and Hausdorff Measure of Full Parry Measure Subset of Finite Type

All the full Parry measure subsets of a given subshift of finite type determined by an irreducible 0-1 matrix have the same Hausdorrf dimension and Hausdorff measure which coincide with those of the set of finite type.

Interesting Features of Three-Dimensional Discrete Lotka-Volterra Dynamics

Discrete Lotka-Volterra systems in one dimension (the logistic equation) and two dimensions have been studied extensively, revealing a wealth of complex dynamical regimes. We show that three-dimensional discrete Lotka-Volterra dynamical systems exhibit all of the dynamics of the lower dimensional systems and a great deal more. In fact and in particular, there are dynamical features including analogs of flip bifurcations, Neimark-Sacker bifurcations and chaotic strange attracting sets that are essentially three-dimensional. Among these are new generalizations of Neimark-Sacker bifurcations and novel chaotic strange attractors with distinctive candy cane type shapes. Several of these dynamical are investigated in detail using both analytical and simulation techniques.

Strong Mixing Subshift of Finite Type and Hausdorff Measure of Its Chaotic Set

We present a sufficient and necessary condition for the subshift of finite type to be a measure-preserving transformation or to be a strong mixing measure-preserving transformation with respect to the Hausdorff measure. It is proved that a strong mixing subshift of finite type has a chaotic set with full Hausdorff measure.
