Discontinuous bifurcation and coexistence of attractors in a piecewise linear map with a gap

Coexistence of attractors with striking characteristics is observed in this work, where a stable period-5 attractor coexists successively with chaotic band-ll, period-6, chaotic band-12 and band-6 attractors. They are induced by dif- ferent mechanisms due to the interaction between the discontinuity and the non-invertibility. A characteristic boundary collision bifurcation, is observed. The critical conditions are obtained both analytically and numerically.

Noise destroys the coexistence of periodic orbits of a piecewise linear map

The effects of Gaussian white noise and Gaussian colored noise on the periodic orbits of period-5（P-5） and period-6（P-6） in their coexisting domain of a piecewise linear map are investigated numerically.The probability densities of some orbits are calculated.When the noise intensity is D = 0.0001,only the orbits of P-5 exist,and the coexisting phenomenon is destroyed.On the other hand,the self-correlation time τ of the colored noise also affects the coexisting phenomenon.When τc〈τ〈τc,only the orbits of P-5 appear,and the stability of the orbits of P-5 is enhanced.However,when τ〉τc（τc and τc are critical values）,only the orbits of P-6 exist,and the stability of the P-6 orbits is enhanced greatly.When τ〈τc,the orbits of P-5 and P-6 coexist,but the stability of the P-5 orbits is enhanced and that of P-6 is weakened with τ increasing.

Symbolic dynamics of Belykh-type maps

The symbolic dynamics of a Belykh-type map （a two-dimensional discon- tinuous piecewise linear map） is investigated. The admissibility condition for symbol sequences named the pruning front conjecture is proved under a hyperbolicity condition. Using this result, a symbolic dynamics model of the map is constructed according to its pruning front and primary pruned region. Moreover, the boundary of the parameter region in which the map is chaotic of a horseshoe type is given.

Admissibility Conditions for Symbolic Sequences in Dynamics of Digital Filter with Two's Complement Arithmetic

In this paper, we discuss a class of piecewise linear hyperbolic maps on the 2-torus. These maps arise in the second-order digital fdter with two＇ s complement arithmetic. By introducing codings underlying the map operations, we give some admissibility conditions for symbolic sequences and find some periodic properties of these symbolic sequences. Then we use these conditions to check the admissibility of periodic symbol sequences.

The Inherent Law of the Unpredictability of Financial Asset Price Fluctuations: Multistability and Chaos

This paper aims at understanding the price dynamics generated by the interaction of traders relying on heterogeneous expectations in an asset pricing model.In the present work the authors analyze a financial market populated by five types of boundedly rational speculators-two types of fundamentalists,two types of chartists and trend followers which submit buying/selling orders according to different trading rules.The authors formulate a stock market model represented as a 2 dimensional piecewise linear discontinuous map.The proposed contribution to the existing financial literature is two aspects.First,the authors perform study of the model involving a 2 dimensional piecewise linear discontinuous map through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods.The authors focus on the existence conditions of chaos and the multi-stability regions in parameter plane.Related border collision bifurcation curves and basins of multi-attractors are also given.The authors find that chaos or quasi-period exists only in the case of fixed point being a saddle(regular or flip)and that the coexistence of multiple attractors may exist when the fixed point is an attractor,but it is common for spiral and flip fixed points.
