Organofluorine compds. do not grow on trees. They have to be prepd. by introducing the halogen into the carbon backbone at a suitable stage of the synthesis sequence. From a logistic point of view, the key question is, when exactly. For example, if one dea ...
This paper deals with Super Stable Orbits (SSOs) of the logistic map, and how they can be used to describe Unstable Periodic Orbits (UPOs).~We will show that Unstable Periodic Orbits have almost the same correlation properties as Super Stable ones from whi ...
A major challenge to understanding behavior is how the nervous system allows the learning of behavioral sequences that can occur over arbitrary timescales, ranging from milliseconds up to seconds, using a fixed millisecond learning rule. This article descr ...
In this paper we study coded modulation schemes based on iterated chaotic maps. In particular, we consider CSK-like systems in which a chaotic map is switched depending on the payload. We show how small perturbation control can substantially improve the ...
In this paper we introduce a method for analyzing the performance of coded modulation schemes based on iterated chaotic maps. In particular, it is known from coding theory that the minimum distance plays an important role, defining the behavior of the erro ...
The D-alpha emission time-series from the TCV tokamak was investigated fora large set of ELMy discharges, to determine whether fluctuations in the time delay between ELMs are the result of noise only, or whether a deterministic process in a chaotic state e ...
We present a numerically feasible semiclassical (SC) method to evaluate quantum fidelity decay (Loschmidt echo) in a classically chaotic system. It was thought that such evaluation would be intractable, but instead we show that a uniform SC expression not ...
Chaotic synchronization is treated within the framework of information theory. It is shown that information theory implies fundamental limits to chaotic synchronization in the presence of channel noise. With regard for these limits, a scheme is suggested f ...
In quasi-brittle materials such as concrete, failure is preceded by highly localized deformation patterns. Localized failure is caused by strain softening, which cannot be described by classical local models, because they lack a length scale. Mathematicall ...
In this paper, an approach based on ergodic properties for classifying sequences is given. It is particularly robust due to the open loop structure of the detector. Unlike previous works in this direction, such as those concerning the inverse system approa ...
