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, ...

A recursive method to find the extreme and superstable curves in the parameter space of dissipative one-dimensional mappings

Diogo Ricardo da Costa, Luam Silva de Paiva et al.

This paper presents a recursive method for identifying extreme and superstable curves in the parameter space of dissipative one-dimensional maps. The method begins by constructing an Archimedean ...

Unveiling the dynamics of multi-peak gap nematicons: Effects of thermal response and diffractive radiation

Sajitha N. M., Suneera T. P.

This study investigates the effects of thermal response and diffractive radiation on multi-peak gap nematicons within a periodic potential through numerical simulations. We analyze both stationary ...

Identifying patterns using cross-correlation random matrices derived from deterministic and stochastic differential equations

Roberto da Silva, Sandra D. Prado

Cross-correlation random matrices have emerged as a promising indicator of phase transitions in spin systems. The core concept is that the evolution of magnetization encapsulates thermodynamic ...

Diffraction in phase space: Jumps and kinks in matter waves revealed by their dynamics

Gregor Finkbeiner, Maxim A. Efremov et al.

We show that a discontinuity either in a wave function or its derivative, corresponding to a jump or a kink, causes ripples in Wigner phase space. In the free time evolution, these structures give ...
