Interactions of fractional solitons with local defects: Stabilization and scattering

Thawatchai Mayteevarunyoo, Boris A. Malomed

Stability is an essential problem in theoretical and experimental studies of solitons in nonlinear media with fractional diffraction, which is represented by the Riesz derivative with Lévy index (LI) ...

Widespread neuronal chaos induced by slow oscillating currents

James Scully, Carter Hinsley et al.

This paper investigates the origin and onset of chaos in a mathematical model of an individual neuron, arising from the intricate interaction between 3D fast and 2D slow dynamics governing its ...

The role of solar heat in earthquake activity

Matheus Henrique Junqueira Saldanha, Masanori Shiro et al.

We have shown, in a previous work, that the solar activity causally influences earthquake activity on Earth [M. H. Junqueira Saldanha and Y. Hirata, Chaos 32 , 061107 (2022)]. However, the ...

Transients versus network interactions give rise to multistability through trapping mechanism

Kalel L. Rossi, Everton S. Medeiros et al.

In networked systems, the interplay between the dynamics of individual subsystems and their network interactions has been found to generate multistability in various contexts. Despite its ubiquity, ...
