Relevant answer
Answer
Subham, thank you for taking the time to comment. Your comment shows you really got the implications of my writings right on. I suggest to take the time to read the 9 articles already out there and if possible read them in order from rethinking 101 to rethinking 109 as each articles builds on previous ones so as to cover systematically the competition landscape before BREXIT 2016 and after, and doing it from different angles.... Notice that the position of any system in the picture gives you necessary and sufficient conditions for each system to come to exist and persist so if they are present or absent YOU CAN PREDICT.... Notice that by expressing the structure of each system in terms of present-absence effective targeted chaos and independent rule of law system allows you to predict by following the merging rules I share who will have access of power and when, under an independent rule of law system, under a perceived captured legal system and under a fully captured legal system. Also if you look at the situation backwards, you can see what needs to happen for paradigm flipbacks and for making more difficult, if not impossible, specific paradigm shifts...
Thank you for taking the time to comment, if we keep thinking the way traditional democracy thinkers think normal liberal democracy will become a rarity as they simply up to this moment have missed the boat....Taking the competition normal liberal democracy vrs TEMPORARY AUTHORITARIANISM as a competition between democratic continuity vrs democratic erosion....where when normal democratic outcomes stay in power THEY LEAVE THE LAWS THE SAME INSTEAD OF STRENTHENING THEM as they think temporary authoritarianism is looking for a fair competition, when they should expect temporary authoritarianism when in power to take active steps to control the legal system and all independent systems while maximizing effective targeted chaos...An exism market is driven by an irresponsible perfect maximizer....so the extreme actions to be expected are rational actions from the point of view of the exism movement....
Feel free to pick up any point in my papers and you can give it your own spin!
Again, thank you for commenting.

Using present-absent effective targeted chaos and independent rule of law theory where the true majority view(T) competes with the true minority view(M) for access to power, the structure of two forms of liberal democracies and permanent authoritarianism can be stated as follows,
where
E = effective targeted chaos present,
e = effective targeted chaos is absent,
I = Fully independent rule of law system is present,
i = fully captured independent legal system = Fully non-independent legal system
Normal liberal democracy = NLD = (T.M)(eI)
Extreme liberal democracy = ELD = (T.M)(EI)
Permanent authoritarianism = PA = (T.M)(Ei)
So the question: Can you see how the structure of the death of liberal democracies can be stated in terms of effective targeted chaos and fully captured independent legal systems?

Exism movements since BREXIT 2016 have been described as driven by emotions leading to the idea of Emocracy/Emocracies, but as the social discontent that is usually displayed after exism movements a kind of unexpectedly come to power as traditional democratic thinking is inconsistent with their coming shows is the true majority reaction/true emotions to the realization that the unexpected by the true majority actually has happened. So there are true majority emotions and true minority emotions and targeted chaos is directed at both with different goals, one to reduce the size of the true majority voting power by any means and the other to keep the true minority engaged and overdrive by any means...,Hence, we have the idea of democracy driven by emotions and the other idea of democracy driven by targeted chaos,....And this leads to the question, Why is effective targeted chaos more than emocracy?

Since 2016 Brexit, the world needed to change the thinking behind traditional democracy as the democratic landscape changed, yet traditional democratic thinkers and actors have been acting as if the competition for power is STILL BETWEEN NORMAL DEMOCRATIC OUTCOMES that are happy to live within an independent rule of law system, when it is no longer the case as now a new variable came into play, legal targeted chaos, that when effective it is a game changer as it leads to extreme democratic outcomes that should be expected to be unhappy living under an independent rule of law system.  To be able to answer general questions as the one here, we need to rethink democracy thinking.
And this raises the question: In terms of chaos, what is the necessary and sufficient condition for authoritarianism, permanent or temporary, to come to exist and persist?
What do you think is the answer to this question is from the point of view of just CHAOS?

Perfect democracy thinking assumes no chaos so no need for independent rule of law system and liberal democracies assume the possibility of normal democratic chaos that can be sorted out by an independent rule of law system.
So when rethinking democracy we have to think now about normal chaos, targeted chaos, and effective targeted chaos affecting voting complacency under an independent rule of law system so we can explain both the coming and going of normal and extreme democratic outcomes within liberal democracies in terms of normal and extreme democratic outcome competition....,
And this raises a key current question that was made relevant by the coming and going of 2016 Brexit/Brexism and 2016 Usexit/Trumpism:
What is effective targeted chaos?

It seems to be back to square one with Brexism, Brazilianism, and Trumpism....They came and they fell in ways away from how traditional democracy theory and thinking works....I wrote since 2016 how extreme democratic outcomes can come out, how they will behave once in power and how they could persist or fall, how important effective targeted chaos is and how important the independent law system and morality is together with predictions/expectations given whether or no targeted chaos is effective or not within an independent rule of law system and majority rule.... If what happened to Brexit July 2024 is consistent with what happens in the USA in November 2024, then the outside the box theory may have several validating points. And this raises the question: Does the fall of BREXISM, Brazilianism and Trumpism mean we know when they come and when they fall in theory and in practice?

You have seen the comings and goings now of Trumpism, Brazilianism, and Brexism, 2016 to 2024 and the common theme is why they failed to persist in power ONCE THEY CAME TO POWER.
If you look at the evolution of democracy theory since 2016 paradigm shift from normal to extreme liberal democracies in some countries you and you adjusted your previous democratic thinking as now EFFECTIVE TARGETED CHAOS and THE NATURE OF THE COURT SYSTEM IN A CONJUNCTURAL CAUSALITY MODE play a key role.
If you take into account this, then you may be able to see that the necessary and sufficient conditions for normal liberal democratic outcomes to come to exist and persist has changed as conditions have changed.
And this raises the question: What is the necessary and sufficient condition for normal democratic outcomes to maintain power regardless of the coming and going of exism movements and dictatorship threats?

If you are a researcher working with chaos and chaotic systems, which unsolved problem or question you have in mind
Here I have collected some open problems and questions related to chaos and chaotic systems for anyone interested. Most of them are borrowed from Professor J. C. Sprott.
Do you have anything more to add?
Best Regards,
Sajad
1. Can we mathematically prove that the system Sprott A (see file 01) is conservative? It has many coexisting nested tori and one chaotic sea. Some hints can be found in file 02.
2. See file 03. Can we have a better model that results in more similarity between figure 5 and figure 4?
3. Find the algebraically simplest example of an attracting 2-torus in a three-dimensional autonomous system of ordinary differential equations.
4. A common problem is to find a mathematical model that mimics the apparently chaotic dynamics of an experimental system. Models that give good short-term predictability tend to give very inaccurate long-term behavior, even to the point of having unbounded or non-chaotic solutions. Is it possible to find models of data that give the right topology of their strange attractor at the expense of short-term predictability?
5. Under some conditions (such as for the Hénon map) the boundary of the basin of attraction is smooth, and under other conditions (such as for the Mandelbrot set) it is fractal. What conditions determine the shape and size of the basin of attraction? Is there a correlation of its fractal dimension with the dimension of the attractor or other quantity? What role do the Cauchy-Reimann equations play, if any? Can two-dimensional maps that satisfy the Cauchy-Reimann equations have chaos on a set of nonzero measure in their parameter space?
6. Power spectrum analysis is not very useful for distinguishing chaos from noise since it appears possible to construct a chaotic system that produces an arbitrary power spectrum. For that purpose, people rely on the correlation dimension (Grassberger and Pracaccia, Phys. Rev. Lett. 50, 346-349 (1983)). However, Osborne & Provenzale (Physica D 35, 357, 1989) have shown that colored noise can give a spuriously low correlation dimension. Can it be shown analytically or numerically that an appropriately chosen noise spectrum can produce the same correlation integral as an arbitrary chaotic system?
7. Some earlier work indicates that the probability that a polynomial map with arbitrarily chosen coefficients is chaotic decreases with the dimension of the map. This result is counterintuitive and contradicts results for polynomial flows and for discrete-time neural networks. What is the reason for the different behavior?
Relevant answer
Answer
I believe problems 1 and 3 have been solved, at least to my satisfaction:
1. Through a rescaling of time, the Sprott-A system, more properly called the Nose-Hoover system, can be written as the Nose system which is Hamiltonian with a slave variable. See, for example, Dettmann and Morriss, Phys. Rev. E 55, 3693 (1997).
3. I believe the simplest 3-D autonomous system with polynomial nonlinearities whose solution is an attracting torus is the one given by Mehrabbeik, et al., Phys. Lett. A 451, 128427 (2022).

Dear colleagues at first assumed that we have one chaotic system and in this system strange attractor so How can i find basin of attraction of it.
can you introduce some sources about it?
thanks
Relevant answer
Answer
To find the basin of attraction of a chaotic system with a strange attractor, one approach is to use computational methods and numerical simulations. There are several techniques and algorithms available for this purpose, depending on the specific characteristics of the system and the nature of the attractor.
One common method is the basin boundary algorithm, which iteratively explores the phase space of the system to identify regions that converge to the attractor. This algorithm typically involves starting from a grid of initial conditions and simulating the dynamics of the system forward in time. Points that converge to the attractor are considered to belong to its basin of attraction.
Another approach is to use sensitivity analysis techniques, such as Lyapunov exponents or variational equations, to identify regions of phase space that are most likely to be attracted to the strange attractor. These techniques quantify the rate of divergence of nearby trajectories, which can help identify the boundaries of the basin of attraction.
Additionally, studying the topology of the phase space and the stability properties of the attractor can provide insights into the structure of its basin of attraction. Techniques such as Poincaré sections, bifurcation diagrams, and symbolic dynamics analysis can be useful in this regard.
For more in-depth information and specific algorithms, I recommend consulting literature on dynamical systems theory and chaos theory. Some recommended sources include:
  1. "Chaos: An Introduction to Dynamical Systems" by Kathleen T. Alligood, Tim D. Sauer, and James A. Yorke.
  2. "Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: With Applications to Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering" by Steven H. Strogatz.
  3. "Deterministic Chaos: An Introduction" by Heinz Georg Schuster.
  4. "Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers" by Robert C. Hilborn.
These textbooks cover various aspects of chaotic systems, including basin of attraction analysis, and provide detailed explanations along with relevant algorithms and examples.

COMPLEXITY IN SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY, AND CONSCIOUSNESS:
DIFFERENCES AND IMPORTANCE
Raphael Neelamkavil, Ph.D., Dr. phil.
1. Introduction
With an introductory apology for repeating a few definitions in various arguments here below and justifying the same as necessary for clarity, I begin to differentiate between the foundations of the concept of complexity in the physical sciences and in philosophy. I reach the conclusion as to what in the concept of complexity is problematic, because the complexity in physical and biological processes may not be differentiable in terms of complexity alone.
Thereafter I build a concept much different from complexity for application in the development of brains, minds, consciousness etc. I find it a fine way of saving causation, freedom, the development of the mental, and perhaps even the essential aspects of the human and religious dimension in minds.
Concepts of complexity considered in the sciences are usually taken in general as a matter of our inability to achieve measuremental differentiation between certain layers of measurementally integrated events within a process or set of processes and the same sort of measurementally integrated activities within another process or set of processes.
But here there is an epistemological defect: We do not get every physical event and every aspect of one physical event to measure. We have just a layer of the object’s total events for us to attempt to measure. This is almost always forgotten by any scientist doing complexity science. One tends to generalize the results for the case of the whole object! Complexity in the sciences is not at all a concept exactly of measurement of complexity in one whole physically existent process within itself or a set of processes within themselves.
First, what is termed as complexity in an entity is only the measure of our inability to achieve measurements of that part of a layer of process which has been measured or attempted to be measured. Secondly, always there is a measuremental comparison in the sciences in order to fix the measure of complexity in the aspects that are measured or attempted to measure. This is evidently a wrong sort of concept.
The essential difference here must be sharpened further. As a result of what is said above, the following seems more appropriate. Instead of being a measure of the complexities of one or a set of processes, complexity in science is a concept of the difference between (1) our achieved abilities and inabilities to achieve the measurement of actual complexity of certain levels of one physical process or a set of processes and (2) other types of levels of the extent of our ability and inability to measurement within another process or set of processes. This is strange with respect to the claims being made of complexity of whichever physical process a science considers to measure the complexity.
If a scientist had a genuine measurement of complexity, one would not have called it complexity. We have no knowledge of a higher or highest complexity to compare a less intense complexity with. In all cases of complexity science, what we have are just comparisons with either more or less intense complexities. This makes the concept of complexity very complex to deal with.
2. Is Complexity Really Irreducible?
On a neutral note, each existent physical process should possess great complexity. How much? We do not know exactly; but we know exactly that it is neither infinite nor zero. This truth is the Wisdom of complexity. Let us call it complexity philosophy. This philosophical concept of complexity within the thing itself (CI) is different from the methodologically measurement-based concept of complexity (CM) in the sciences. In CM, only the measured and measurable parts of complexity are taken into consideration and the rest of the aspects and parts of the existent physical process under consideration are forgotten.
If this were not true, the one who proposes this is bound to prove that all the aspects and parts of the physical process or at least of the little layer of it under measurement are already under any one or more or all measurementally empirical procedures with respect to or in terms of that layer of the process.
To explain the same differently, the grade of complexity in the sciences is the name of the difference (i.e., in terms of ‘more’ or ‘less’) between the grades of difficulty and ease of measuring a specific layer of causal activity within one process and a comparable or non-comparable layer of causal activity in another.
Both must be measured in terms of the phenomena received from them and the data created of them. Naturally, these have been found to be too complex to measure well enough, because we do not directly measure, but instead measure in terms of scales based on other more basic scales, phenomena, and data. But the measure-elements titled infinite-finite-zero are slightly more liberated of the directly empirically bound notions. I anticipate some arguing that even these are empirically bound. I am fully agreed. The standpoint from which I called the former as formed out of directly empirically bound notions is different, that is all.
Both the above (the grades of difficulty and ease of measuring a specific layer of causal activity within one process and a comparable or non-comparable layer of causal activity in another) must be measured in terms of certain modes of physical phenomena and certain scales set for these purposes. But this is not the case about the scale of infinity-finitude-zero, out of which we can eternally choose finitude for the measure of ease and difficulty of measuring a specific layer of causal activity without reference to any other.
The measure-difference between the causal activities is not the complexity, nor is it available to be termed so. Instead, complexity is the difference between (1) the ease and difficulty of measuring the one from within the phenomena issuing from certain layers of the physical process and the data created by us out of the phenomena, and (2) the ease and difficulties of measuring the same in the other.
In any case, this measure-difference of ease and difficulty with respect to the respective layers of the processes can naturally be only of certain layers of activity within the processes, and not of all the layers and kinds of activity in them both. Evidently, in the absence of scale-based comparison, their complexity cannot be termed a high or a low complexity considered within itself. Each such must be compared with at least another such measurementally determined layer/s of process in another system.
3. Extent of Complexity outside and within Complexity
The question arises now as to whether any process under complexity inquiry has other layers of activity arising from within themselves and from within the layers themselves from which directly the phenomena have issued and have generated the data within the bodily, conscious, and cognitive system of the subjects and their instruments.
Here the only possible answer is that there is an infinite number of such layers in any finite-content physical processual entity, and within any layer of a process we can find infinite other sub-layers, and between the layers and sub-layers there are finite causal connections, because every existent has parts that are in Extension and Change.
The infinite number of such complexity layers are each arrangeable in a scale of decremental content-strength in such a way that no finite-content process computes up to infinite content-strength. This does not mean that there are no actual differences between any two processes in the complexity of their layers of activity, or in the total activity in each of them.
Again, what I attempt to suggest here is that the measured complexity of anything or of any layer of anything is just a scale-based comparison of the extent of our capacity to discover all the complexity within one process or layer of process, as compared to the same in another process or layer of process.
4. Possible Generalizations of Complexity
Any generalization of processes in themselves concerning their complexity proper (i.e., the extent of our capacity to discover all the complexity within one process or one layer of activities of a process) must now be concluded to be in possession of only the quantitative qualities that never consist of a specific or fixed scale-based number, because the comparison is on a range-scale of ‘more than’ and ‘less than’.
This generalization is what we may at the most be able to identify regarding the complexity within any specific process without any measuremental comparison with another or many others. Non-measuremental comparison is therefore easier and truer in the general sense; and measuremental comparison is more applicable in cases of technical and technological achievements.
The latter need not be truer than the former, if we accept that what is truer must be more general than specific. Even what is said merely of one processual object must somehow be applicable to anything that is of the same nature as the specific processual object. Otherwise, it cannot be a generalizable truth. For this reason, the former seems to be truer than the latter.
Now there are only three possibilities for the said sort of more general truth on comparative complexity: accepting the infinite-finite-zero values as the only well-decidable values. I have called them the Maximal-Medial-Minimal (MMM) values in my work of 2018, namely, Gravitational Coalescence Paradox and Cosmogenetic Causality in Quantum Astrophysical Cosmology.
Seen from this viewpoint, everything physically existent has great processual-structural complexity, and this is neither infinite nor zero, but merely finite – and impossible to calculate exactly or even at any satisfactory exactitude within a pre-set scale, because (1) the layers of a process that we attempt to compute is but a mere portion of the process as such, (2) each part of each layer has an infinite number of near-infinitesimal parts, and (3) we are not in a position to get at much depths and breadths into all of these at any time.
Hence, the two rationally insufficient conclusions are:
(1) The narrowly empirical-phenomenologically measuremental, thus empirically partially objective, and simultaneously empirically sufficiently subjective amount of complexity (i.e., the extent of our capacity and incapacity to discover all the complexity) in any process by use of a scale-level comparison of two or more processes.
(2) The complexity of entities without having to speak about their existence in every part in Extension-Change and the consequently evident Universal Causality.
These are the empirically highly insulated, physical-ontologically insufficiently realistic sort of concept of complexity that the sciences entertain and can entertain. Note that this does not contradict or decry technological successes by use of scientific truths. But claiming them to be higher truths on complexity than philosophical truths is unjustifiable.
Now the following question is clearly answerable. What is meant by the amount of complexity that any existent physical process can have in itself? The only possible answer would be that of MMM, i.e., that the complexity within any specific thing is not a comparative affair within the world, but only determinable by comparing the complexity in physical processes with that in the infinitely active and infinitely stable Entity (if it exists) and the lack of complexity in the zero-activity and zero-stability sort of pure vacuum. It can also be made based on a pre-set or conventionalized arithmetic scale, but such cannot give the highest possible truth probability, even if it is called “scientific”.
MMM is the most realistic generalization beyond the various limit possibilities of scale-controlled quantities of our incapacity to determine the amount of complexity in any layer of processes, and without incurring exact numbers, qualifications, etc. The moment a clear measuremental comparison and pinning up the quantity is settled for, it becomes a mere scientific statement without the generality that the MMM realism offers.
Nonetheless, measuremental studies have their relevance in respect of their effects in specific technological and technical circumstances. But it must be remembered that the application of such notions is not directly onto the whole reality of the object set/s or to Reality-in-total, but instead, only to certain layers of the object set/s. Truths at that level do not have long life, as is clear from the history of the sciences and the philosophies that have constantly attempted to limit philosophy with the methods of the sciences.
5. Defining Complexity Closely
Consider any existent process in the cosmos. It is in a state of finite activity. Every part of a finite-content process has activity in every one of its near-infinitesimal parts. This state of having activity within is complexity. In general, this is the concept of complexity. It is not merely the extent of our inability to measure the complexity in anything in an empirical manner.
Every process taken in itself has a finite number of smaller, finite, parts. The parts spoken of here are completely processual. Nothing remains in existence if a part of it is without Extension or without Change. An existent part with finite Extension and Change together is a unit process when the cause part and the effect part are considered as the aspects or parts of the part in question.
Every part of a part has parts making every part capable of being a unit process and in possession of inner movements of extended parts, all of which are in process. This is what I term complexity. Everything in the cosmos is complex. We cannot determine the level of complexity beyond the generalized claim that complexity is normally limited within infinite or finite or zero, and that physical and biological processes in the cosmos come within the finitude-limit.
Hereby is suggested also the necessity of combining the philosophical truth about complexity and the scientific concept of the same for augmentation of theoretical and empirical-scientific achievements in the future. While determining scientifically the various natures and qualities of complexity, chaos, threshold states, etc. in a manner not connected to the philosophical concept of it based on the MMM method of commitment access to values of content and their major pertinents, then, scientific research will remain at an elementary level – although the present theoretical, experimental, and technological successes may have been unimaginably grand. Empirical advancement must be based on the theoretical.
Constant effort to differentiate anything from anything else strongly, by making differentiations between two or more processes and the procedures around them, is very much part of scientific research. In the procedural thrust and stress related to these, the science of complexity (and all other sciences, sub-sciences, etc.) suffer from the lack of ontological commitment to the existence of the processes in Extension-Change and Universal Causality.
The merely scientific attitude is due to a stark deficit of the most general and deepest possible Categories that can pertain to them, especially to Extension-Change and Universal Causality. Without these, the scientist will tend to work with isolated and specifically determined causal processes and identify the rest as non-causal, statistically causal, or a-causal!
6. Complexity in Consciousness
The above discussion shows that the common concept of complexity is not the foundation on which biological evolution, growth of consciousness, etc. can directly be based. I have plans to suggest a new concept.

Hegel's Science of Logic involves a trinary process: understanding -> dialectical reasoning -> speculative reasoning -> understanding at a higher level. This is analogous to a period 3 orbit, a return to self mediated by the other A -> B -> C -> A.
A direct consequence of a really strange theorem in dynamical systems due to Sharkovskii is that for any continuous function on the reals f: R -> R, if f has an orbit of minimal period 3 then it has orbits of any minimal period (because 3 is the first number in the Sharkovskii ordering). This happens in particular for certain values of lambda for the logistic map, exhibiting the phenomenon of 'chaos'.
The graph of successive higher iterations of the logistic map exhibit self-similarity, a fractal-like nature. This again mirrors the structure of the logic in which each part is similar in its trinary structure to that of the whole, i.e. Being -> Essence -> Notion, but in Being we have Quantity -> Quality -> Measure. In Concept we have Subjective Notion -> Objective Notion -> Absolute Notion. At a further finer level inside Quantity we have for instance Pure Being -> Nothing -> Becoming, etc.

While traditional science deals with supposedly predictable phenomena such as gravity, electricity or chemical reactions, there is also Chaos Theory which deals with non-linear things that are virtually impossible to predict or control, such as turbulence, weather, the stock market, our brain states and so on.
When there is an earthquake there are too many unpredictable - unpredictable chaos factors in the behavior of the ground and the structure that change the stress measure of each individual structure.
Low-rise structure, mid-rise structure and high-rise structure react differently to the multiple frequencies of ground displacement reaching below the structure.
The direction of the earthquake is unknown, the ground acceleration reaching under the structure and determining the force of the earthquake is unknown, the exact content of the seismic excitation frequencies is unknown, the duration of the earthquake is unknown, a structure can withstand high acceleration for a short duration or low acceleration for a long duration, but cannot withstand high acceleration for a long duration, the magnitude of the earthquake is unknown, the distance from the epicentre of the earthquake to the structure is unknown, the focal depth of the earthquake is unknown, the composition of the ground between the structure and the earthquake which transmits the energy of the earthquake is unknown, e.g. e.g. soft soil increases ground displacement four to five times compared to rock. Even the maximum possible accelerations given by seismologists, which determine the seismic design factor, have a probability of being exceeded by more than 10%.
The correlation of quantities such as "inertia stresses, damping forces, elastic forces, dynamic characteristics of the structure, soil-structure interaction, imposed ground motion" is non-linear and by interacting with each other they change the behaviour and stress of the building.
I am engaged in applied research of seismic structures trying to eliminate and control all these unstable chaos factors lying on the ground and better construction by applying prestressing at the ends of the wall sections in order to reduce the deformation of their frame and increase the strength of their reinforced concrete without admixtures and mass increase which incidentally increases the inertia loads, and on the other hand I am embedding the structure with the ground for the first time in the world in order to rotate the inertia loads into the ground allowing the ground to participate in the response of the structure to the seismic displacements, excessively controlling the chaos of all these unstable factors, while increasing the quality of the foundation soil.
In addition to the above mentioned too, there are three other factors that I exploit to increase the earthquake carrying capacity of structures.
1) I built additional seismic damping mechanisms throughout the height of the building.
2) Decoupling of the elastic columns and beams and plates, from the rigid longitudinal prestressed and butted walls with the ground, allows them to collide with each other at the height of the diaphragms and in this way to cancel out the displacements of the load-bearing structure and the deformations.
3) I exploited the double lever arm of height and width of the longitudinal walls, so that the lever arm of width cancels out the torque tensions that the lever arm of height lowers at the base.

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask a question about particle scaling.
I have the particle size distribution data of crushed sand particles. However, the fragment size is too small which will significantly influence the computational efficiency. Therefore, I scaled up the fragment size and used BPM to model a sand particle with a diameter of 1.5mm (D50). After I had done it, the time step was still small (10^-9 s).
Considering the critical time-step is dependent on the smallest mass and stiffness, so then I scaled the stiffness and density, and then the time step increased to 10^-7 s.
But this would change its mechanical response behaviour. I would like to ask if there is any way to scale including fragment size, material properties such as mass and stiffness, and be able to make the mechanical behaviour of modeled particles close to the behaviour of real sand.
Kind regards,
Chao
Relevant answer
Answer
Scaling in the context of particle behavior simulation in discrete element methods (DEM) involves balancing the computational efficiency with accurately representing real-world particle interactions. In your case, you're aiming to scale up the particle size and adjust material properties while retaining the mechanical behavior of real sand particles.
Here are a few considerations and strategies:
  1. Particle Size Scaling: You've already increased the particle size to 1.5mm (D50) using BPM. While this larger particle size might improve computational efficiency, it may not fully capture the behavior of smaller particles. Consider how this change might affect the representation of finer interactions within the sand.
  2. Critical Time-Step Scaling: You observed that adjusting stiffness and density helped increase the time step. However, altering material properties could impact the mechanical response behavior. Try to find a balance between computational efficiency and maintaining realistic mechanical responses.
  3. Material Property Scaling: Instead of arbitrarily scaling stiffness and density, try to derive these properties from the physical characteristics of real sand particles. For instance, look at the actual density, elasticity, and other mechanical properties of the original crushed sand particles and try to scale these in proportion to your enlarged particles.
  4. Validation and Calibration: Consider performing comparative analysis. Simulate behaviors of your scaled particles and compare their mechanical responses with real sand behaviors. You might need to adjust the scaled parameters iteratively to achieve a closer match to the real-world behavior.
  5. Adaptation and Realism: Understand that perfect scaling might not be achievable. It's essential to balance computational efficiency with realistic representation. Adjusting particle interactions, using contact models that approximate the behavior of smaller particles, and considering the aggregation of larger particles might help.
The goal is to strike a balance between computational efficiency and representing the real-world mechanical behavior of sand particles. It may involve a compromise and iterative adjustments to achieve a satisfactory outcome.

To find coexisting attractors in a chaotic system, I use the continuation diagram. Here in each iteration, the initial conditions x(0) for the chaotic system are set as the final conditions x(t_final) from the previous simulation.
We do so as we increase the parameter under study (forward continuation diagram), and as we decrease the parameter (backward continuation diagram).
In a system I am studying though, I still know that coexisting attractors exist, and using both continuation diagrams, I still cannot depict all of them. The diagram cannot 'catch' them.
Is there an alternative, or a solution to this?

Coexisting attractors can be identified by tracking parameter changes across the continuation diagram, revealing where these attractors coexist and potentially interact. This analysis helps understand the complexity of a system's dynamics. If you need assistance with interpreting specific continuation diagrams or attractor behavior, please give more details.

According to the principal of entropy increase, it's easier to form more disordered crystal strcuture at low temperature. Do I mixed up the concepts of chaos and disorder?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, you have mixed up the concepts of chaos and disorder. In the context of the principle of entropy increase, disorder refers to the number of ways in which the constituent particles or components of a system can be arranged or distributed. It does not refer to chaos in the sense of unpredictability or randomness.
Entropy is a measure of the number of microstates (microscopic arrangements) that correspond to a given macrostate (observable state) of a system. In general, increasing entropy corresponds to increasing disorder, as there are more ways for the particles to be arranged in a disordered state compared to an ordered state.
At low temperatures, it is typically more favorable for a system to adopt an ordered structure, such as a crystal, because the particles can arrange themselves in a regular and organized manner. As the temperature increases, the system gains more thermal energy, and the particles become more mobile, leading to greater disorder and a decrease in the degree of ordering, which is why many materials melt and lose their crystalline structure at higher temperatures.
Chaos, on the other hand, refers to a complex, unpredictable behavior that can arise in certain dynamic systems, often characterized by sensitivity to initial conditions. Chaos theory is a field of study that deals with such systems, but it is distinct from the concept of disorder as used in the context of entropy.

In the future, the science of the word may also be the mode through which other-than-human forms of knowledge are apprehended. The science of the word accounts for how much of the natural is indeed unnatural: it is constructed and constrained and co-produced by human activity and political economy. The science of the word approaches the study of the world as a kind of poetics. It calls forth new ways then of writing and reading the unnatural world, with a predilection not for forced discrete and transparent knowledges but ebullient and broken-open meanings and theories. This new science looks at and seeks to express the world of words and the worlds words make. It was Cesaire’s belief that without the self-aware study of human culture and storytelling capacities, the natural sciences would remain “starved.”

Hello,
I would like to ask a question about how particle position affects torque.
In the DEM simulation, basically is apply the normal load to the upper rigid body, bring the upper rigid body and lower rigid body together, and then apply the angular velocity to the lower rigid body, these two rigid body twist against each other.
An annular contact surface is formed when two rigid bodies are in contact, and then spherical particles are applied to the contact area. I found that if all particles are placed on one side, the measured torque is large, while if the particles are on both sides or evenly distributed in the annular contact area, the measured torque becomes smaller.
So, I was wondering whether a relationship exists between particle position on the contact area and torque.
Could you please share your ideas or provide any references?
Many thank,
Chao
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, the distribution of particle positions can affect the torque experienced by a system. Torque is defined as the rotational equivalent of force, and it arises from the application of a force at a distance from a rotational axis. In the case of a system of particles, the torque is the sum of the torques on each individual particle.
The torque on a particle depends on its position relative to the rotational axis, as well as the magnitude and direction of the force acting on it. Therefore, if the distribution of particle positions changes, the torque experienced by the system can also change.
For example, if the particles are distributed symmetrically around the rotational axis, the net torque on the system may be zero, since the torques on opposite sides of the axis cancel each other out. However, if the particles are more densely distributed on one side of the axis than the other, the net torque on the system will not be zero and will depend on the total force acting on the particles.
In summary, the distribution of particle positions can affect the torque experienced by a system, since the torque is the sum of the torques on each individual particle, and the torque on a particle depends on its position relative to the rotational axis and the force acting on it.

It is possible to find many different applications like this in the literature.
Does anyone have a satisfactory explanation for this issue?
Relevant answer
Answer
Fractional difference equations are a generalization of integer-order difference equations and differential equations, where the order of the difference operator is a non-integer value. An equilibrium point of a fractional difference equation is a solution that remains constant over time.
To find the equilibrium point of a fractional difference equation, we first need to express it in a form that is amenable to analysis. This involves rewriting the equation as a fixed point iteration, which can be written as:
x_{n+1} = f(x_n)
where x_n is the value of the solution at time n, x_{n+1} is the value of the solution at time n+1, and f(x_n) is a function that describes the update rule for the solution.
Once we have the fixed point iteration form, we can find the equilibrium point by solving for x such that:
x = f(x)
In other words, the equilibrium point is the value of x that satisfies this equation. This can be done analytically, or through numerical methods such as iterative methods like Newton-Raphson method.
Note that fractional difference equations can have multiple equilibrium points, which can be stable or unstable depending on the behavior of the solution near them. Understanding the stability properties of equilibrium points is crucial for predicting the long-term behavior of solutions to fractional difference equations.

Relevant answer
Answer
Fuzzy entropy is a type of entropy used in fuzzy systems and fuzzy clustering analysis. It is a measure of the complexity or randomness of a fuzzy set, which is a set in which each element has a degree of membership between 0 and 1.
There are several definitions of fuzzy entropy, and the choice of exponential term depends on the specific definition being used. Some common choices include:
The natural logarithm (base e): This is used in the definition of Tsallis entropy, which is a generalization of Shannon entropy that includes a parameter q that can take on values other than 1. The fuzzy Tsallis entropy is defined as:
Hq(X) = [1 - ∑μi^q]/(q - 1)
where X is the fuzzy set, μi is the degree of membership of the i-th element of X, and q is the Tsallis entropy parameter.
The base 2 logarithm: This is used in the definition of fuzzy Shannon entropy, which is a measure of the uncertainty or randomness of a fuzzy set. The fuzzy Shannon entropy is defined as:
H(X) = - ∑μi log2(μi)
where X is the fuzzy set and μi is the degree of membership of the i-th element of X.
Other exponential terms: Depending on the specific application and definition, other exponential terms such as the base 10 logarithm or a power law function may be used.
It is important to carefully choose the appropriate definition and exponential term for the specific application and context, as different choices may lead to different results and interpretations

Do the natural sciences study harmony and/or chaos and/or chaotic harmony of all the living & nonliving universal units and components and universe ?
The natural sciences study various aspects of the living and nonliving components of the universe, including the principles of order and disorder that govern their behavior. However, the concepts of harmony and chaos are more commonly associated with fields such as music theory and philosophy rather than with the natural sciences.
That being said, certain natural phenomena can be described as having harmonious or chaotic properties. For example, the behavior of some physical systems, such as fluid dynamics, can exhibit patterns of organization and flow that are considered harmonious or rhythmic. On the other hand, certain systems, such as weather patterns, can be highly unpredictable and exhibit chaotic behavior.
Overall, while the natural sciences may not explicitly study the concepts of harmony and chaos, they do seek to understand the underlying principles and laws that govern the behavior of the universe's various components, including both living and nonliving entities.

Many times while dealing with ecological models, we come across the phenomena of chaos, and while making bifurcation diagrams with respect to a bifurcation parameter, sometimes system becomes chaotic then periodic again becomes chaotic and so on. My main queries are like:
1. What is ecological significance of chaos in a dynamical system.
2. What is ecological significance of this type of stability change in a dynamical system (chaos-periodic-chaos...)?

Answer

  • What is ecological significance of chaos in a dynamical system?
The beauty of chaos in a dynamical system lies in its ability to promote biodiversity. The unpredictable fluctuations in the system create an array of possibilities, offering various habitats for different species to survive. This diversity leads to a resilient ecosystem, where a wide range of organisms can coexist and interact.
Conversely, a close synchronization in ecological systems can have danger because it can lead to unexpected population fluctuations and destabilize the ecosystem. For example, if the populations of two predator species are synchronously fluctuating, they may both experience a population boom at the same time, leading to a sudden decrease in their prey populations. This in turn can lead to a crash in the predator populations, resulting in a ripple effect throughout the ecosystem.
Thus, chaos in ecological systems maintains biodiversity which helps the ecosystem to sustain for longer run. However, synchronization of species is beneficial if presence of severe chaos disrupts the system (such as caused by adverse climate or overpopulated invasive species).
  • What is ecological significance of this type of stability change in a dynamical system (chaos-periodic-chaos...)?
The fluctuation of stability within a dynamical system, specifically the transition from a chaotic state to a periodic state and back to chaos, holds a considerable amount of ecological importance. These fluctuations indicate a threshold within the system, beyond which drastic changes or collapse may occur. The presence of chaos in an ecosystem indicates high variability and the potential for unexpected events, which is crucial to the persistence of diverse species. In contrast, periodic behavior within an ecosystem indicates stability and predictability, which is beneficial to certain species. A comprehensive understanding of these transitions in stability certainly enables ecologists to predict and manage the effects of disturbances on ecosystems.

Dear Brem Navas ,
Chaos Theory is the study of complex, usually non-linear systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions and alterations in state, and have complex interactions, mixing, non-periodicity and feedback loops, which result in rapidly evolving irregular and often unexpected behavior, which is unpredictable. However there are underlying order and patterns beneath that disorder, but it is said to be unpredictable. The prediction rapidly becomes harder as you try to predict farther into the future. Sometimes apparently simpler systems exhibit chaos too.

Question

It is well-know that the Poincaré - Bendixon theorem eliminates dynamical chaos in 2d continuous, autonomous systems on plane, or sphere, or cylinder. However, for systems on 2d torus one new possibility appears: the trajectory can twist along the torus sweeping the entire torus. Can we state that in this case such systems do not have sensitive dependence on initial conditions (i.e. the Lyapunov exponents tend to 0)?
Intuitively, I think that it is indeed that case. My suggestion is based on an analogy to the linear case. Imagine the system of two angles which linearly increase with two irrational frequencies. If we put this system on the torus, then the trajectory will sweep all the torus, but the Lyapunov exponent will be 0.
Relevant answer
Answer
The usual definition of chaos requires that errors in initial conditions grow EXPONENTIALLY in time on average, and hence a positive Lyapunov exponent. There are many systems for which the error grows as a linear or even a polynomial function of time and are thus somewhat sensitive to initial conditions but are not considered chaotic. A simple example is two race cars traveling at the same speed on a circular track. If one starts and remains at a slightly larger radius, their separation will grow linearly in time, hence not chaotic.
  • asked a question related to Chaos

The positive Lyapunov exponent confirms chaos is a bounded, deterministic system. I suppose the boundedness of the system has to comply with the presence of one zero Lyapunov exponent. Then again why zero? Why not negative? It will be very helpful if I get a deeper insight here.
Relevant answer
Answer
To see why this is the case, let x and y be the two trajectory segments, whose separation (xy) you consider for defining or calculating the Lyapunov exponents. At every point of the attractor (or invariant manifold), we can represent this separation in a basis of Lyapunov vectors, each of which corresponds to one Lyapunov exponent. In this representation, each component of the separation grows or shrinks independently according to the respective Lyapunov exponent (on average). For example, in chaos with one positive Lyapunov exponent, the separation will quickly point in the corresponding direction because this Lyapunov exponent dominates the other ones.
Now, suppose that the trajectory segment y
is such that y(t)=x(t+ε) for some time t, i.e., it is a temporally slightly advanced version of x. The separation of these segments may grow and shrink with time, depending on the speed of the phase-space flow, but on average it should stay constant due to the following: Since the dynamics is bounded, the trajectory x will need to get close to x(t) again, i.e., there needs to be some τ such that x(t+τ)≈x(t). Due to the phase-space flow being continuous, we also have y(t+τ)=x(t+τ+ε)≈x(t+ε)=y(t) and thus: |x(t+τ)−y(t+τ)|≈|x(t)−y(t)|
Therefore, separations in the direction of time neither shrink nor grow (on average) and in this direction we get a zero Lyapunov exponent: If we consider only such separations to compute a Lyapunov exponent, we obtain:
λ=limτ→∞lim|x(t)−y(t)|→01τln(|x(t+τ)−y(t+τ)||x(t)−y(t)|)=limτ→∞lim|x(t)−y(t)|→01τln(|x(t)−y(t)||x(t)−y(t)|)=0
(We now have =
instead of ≈ due to the limits averaging everything and allowing us to consider arbitrarily close x(t) and x(t+τ).)
Therefore, all such dynamical systems must have at least one zero Lyapunov exponent.

Answer
At extremely low temperatures entropy S -> constant and therefore to a small value. That is called the Nernst theorem or 3rd law of thermodynamics.
S can be slowed by decreasing the number of degrees of freedom, at very high temperatures molecules move and rotate, if T is decreased, then the rotational degrees of freedom are suppressed and S is slowed down, since the number of microscopic rotational states Nrot -> 0
S = kB ln W & usually W ~ eN but the real problem is that N is a huge number of microscopic states in a system, so if T -> 0 K then N can be reduced.
Please look at the numerical example in the following Open Learn resource:

Hello everyone,
Strange Nonchaotic Attractors are known as a rather new class of attractors that, despite having fractional dimensions, do not illustrate chaos in the conventional sense (exponential divergence of infinitesimally close trajectories and positive Lyapunov exponents). I have some questions about this class of attractors and their properties.
1. Is the response of the SNAs without any period? (so if we look at them, we cannot predict where EXACTLY the trajectory will be in time T, where T is a positive value).
2. Are SNAs the same as weakly chaotic systems? because I've encountered systems that illustrate non-exponential divergence but due to a lack of periodicity, are called weakly chaotic. If they are different, what is the distinction?
3. Chaotic attractors are known to have a positive, a negative, and a zero Lyapunov exponent. What are the Lyapunov exponents of SNAs?
4. If one uses the idea of Poincare maps to analyze SNAs, how the results will differ from the results of chaotic attractors?
Relevant answer
Answer
Chaos means exponential growth of errors. Many systems have errors that grow and eventually become unpredictable, such as two unsynchronized clocks whose error typically grows linearly. They may or may not be periodic depending on the source of the error. They will return to the same reading once a day but may not do so with a regular period. You will not be able to predict what time such a clock will read a hundred years from now.
In a weakly chaotic system, the error grows exponentially, but slowly. The Solar System is weakly chaotic, but "weak" is an imprecise term that is only meaningful in comparison with something else.
An SNA will have its largest LE exactly equal to zero even though it is typically aperiodic and unpredictable. Other exponents might be zero, negative, or undefined. Its Poincare section will be a fractal, else it would not be "strange."

Now, is it possible for a system to have more than two positive Lyapunov exponents? If yes, how that system will behave?
Thanks in advance for your help in this regard.

I appreciate you asking this good question. As I know, a hyperchaotic system has at least two positive LEs. If a system has three or more positive LEs then it will be also a hyperchaotic system.

When mu > 0, the Van der Pol oscillator has a stable limit cycle (with Hopf bifurcation).
While we can show the existence of a stable limit cycle with a MATLAB / SCILAB plot with some initial conditions and some positive value for mu like mu = 0.1 or 0.5 (for simulation), I like to know if there is a smart analytical proof (without any simulation) showing the existence of a limit cycle.

Business management (and operations) has many intertwined aspects, which constantly interact with each other, raising the complexity of it, as a 'system'. Modelling a complex system is difficult due to dependencies and adaptive behaviour. However, such complex 'systems' self-re-organise and become sustainable. A close-related concept of chaos indicates that a change in the initial conditions can bring out randomness, even with deterministic laws. Though the chaos and complexity theories are interrelated and multi-disciplinary in nature, very less application found in business management research.
The onset of Covid-19 pandemic has presented a unique social context for chaos and complexity.
Fellow scholars of this RG are requested to highlight:
a) recent trends in research in this area (how chaos is measured, analysed?).
b) recent applications of chaos and complexity theories in the field of business management
c) modelling techniques, related to chaos and complexity theories
Relevant answer
Answer
This answer focusses only on one aspect of your question, which will help to narrow your search domain: entropy measures. Within complex systems are being developed and increasingly applied complex systems measures based on the notion of entropy.
Entropy measures were originally developed by Ludwig Boltzmann and Shannon in twodisciplines: statistical statistical physics and information theory.
In the last about fourth years, a whole array of complexity measures were developed that measure the observed system, make some distribution of measurable properties that are subsequently inserted into the well know Boltzmann or Shannon entropy measures.
This procedure helps to asses the state of the observed system even without being capable to observe its every single detail. How exactly is this done can be found in our paper on the prediction of Torsades de Pointes arrhythmia, all details of the procedure are explained there.
A very important note. Very probably your measures will be impossible to classify by humans. This leads to the application of AI and machine learning methods, which are described in the same paper.
The notion of entropy had been proven a very valuable way of classifying of the operational mode of systems. Definitely something that you would like to think about in your case.

Most populations of salmonids differ from each other in molecular genetics, morphology, life history, etc., with many populations showing local adaptations. While some populations, or groups of populations, meet the requirements for species designation under an integrative framework, to recognise all populations showing adaptive differences and distinct evolutionary trajectories as distinct species would result in taxonomic chaos. In North America important populations can be identified as Conservation Units (CUs) such as Evolutionarily Significant Units or Designatable Units within the appropriate conservation legislation. With a few exceptions, the CU approach does not appear to be widely used elsewhere, possibly due to difficulties with current legislation.
Effective conservation of trout and char should be based on populations, irrespective of whether they are designated as species, subspecies or simply populations, although CUs need to be rooted in accepted species. Each population can then be assessed as to its biological significance based on: genetic distinctness as determined by genomic techniques especially where this is of adaptive significance; genetically-based tolerance of extreme environmental conditions; unusual genetically-based life history traits; phylogenetics; distinct morphology where this has a genetic and adaptive basis; geographical isolation, especially where adjacent populations are extinct; lack of introgression from non-native conspecifics; occurrence as a member of an unusual or rare native species community; cultural, economic, and recreational importance. This biological significance taken together with potential threats to the population’s continued survival can be used to produce a priority ranking. Such a priority ranking can assist in allocating limited resources for conservation thus ensuring that this is carried out in a focused way.

Hi Andy,
in my opinion, your question highlights a very "hot" issue, mainly in Italy. In Italy, the introduction of non-native species and/or population was forbidden by National law. Since 2 April 2020 this law was updated and now there is (in theory) the possibility of allochthonous introductions. However, this new law leaves without description the regulation concerning the management and or protection of the local native biodiversity. Therefore, concepts as management units and similars are without any legal values, as far as I know. This scenario opens the window for a "far west" in the field of the management of local native populations of freshwater fish, in particular, Mediterranean trout, marble trout, Adriatic grayling ecc. Further, in Italy, freshwater fish fauna is not considered a state patrimonial good and this implies that the management of local biodiversity is guaranteed only by rare local programs.

In everyday speech, chaos means disorder, crowd, unpredictability, etc. In philosophy, chaos is used in the terms of pro-matter, primordial space, that is, what became before order was brought into our world. In psychology, the word chaos raises fears that order will disappear and disorder will reign again. Chaos is a new field of science, but also a new way of observing the world. So, for physicists, engineers, economists, doctors, biologists, sociologist, psychologists, psychiatrists etc., chaos means an incentive to re-examine their equations, data, knowledge and beliefs. Chaos enabled a systematic approach to phenomena and systems of great internal complexity as well as an understanding of seemingly extremely simple phenomena. Many (but not all) scientists agree that after the theory of relativity and quantum physics, chaos is the third scientific revolution.Is theory of chaos the third scientific revolution?

Targeted chaos and misinformation are at the heart of extreme democratic outcomes as they are the active ingredients needed for them to come to exist, to persist, and to propagate. One example of extreme democratic outcome is USEXIT or Trumpism.
Targeted chaos and misinformation are mostly based on fake facts or an alternative facts, which raises the question “Are extreme democratic outcomes when in conflict and the rule of law in liberal democracies incompatible?

In addition to previous comment, certain form of neoliberalism mainly in economic and social, as well as cultural matters, can be extreme. As , for example, the ideology and practise of Free Market institutes in Eastern Europe. But this neoliberal approach has other things to do if compare to trumpism. Anyway, the analysis of connection between trumpism and neoliberal/state/national aspects is very interesting for research. But it is another case than Yours, dear Lucio.

In the context of some ruling parties/persons/governments, it has been widely felt that they do deliberately fail to deliver economic prosperity. Instead of promoting economic development, they do opt for designed economic deceleration and widespread social vulnerability. They do create chaos to appropriate maximum political and economic value only to themselves.
Given that, what are the pros and cons of such a deliberately brought about economic crisis?
Can we study such a phenomenon? How?

Hello,
I would like to compare the bending moment of a tube with beam and shell element in ansys? The tube has the same dimension in beam and shell element. In beam element, i can get the bending (My, Mz) and torsional(TQ) moment. But in the shell element, in the help of Ansys, I could only get the bending moment per length (M11, M22, M12) and Bending stress(Sb11, Sb22,12).
If i want compare the results of Mz in the beam element, How could I get the same "Mz" in the shell element?

I think the chaos applies to all theory because chaos existed in classical physics itself so the chaos should exists in quantum and relativity
Relevant answer
Answer
No-because chaos is known as a property of classical systems; so it doesn't have anything to do with providing an obstacle for quantizing gravity, i.e. finding the quantum theory, whose classical limit is general relativity. The obstacle to that, rather, is finding the-qantum-degrees of freedom that can resolve the singularities, that appear in gravitational collapse.

Chaos theory is a delightful contradiction - a science of predicting the behavior of "inherently unpredictable" systems. It is a mathematical toolkit that allows us to extract beautifully ordered structures from a sea of chaos - a window into the complex functioning of natural systems as diverse as the beating of the human heart and the trajectories of asteroids. So, how can this theory explain a crisis situation in general, and that of the Covid-19 pandemic in particular?

Bifurcation diagrams are very useful to evaluate the dynamical behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems. In chaos literature, I notice that some authors draw bifurcation diagrams by removing the first 1000 seconds of data. I like to understand the reason behind this. Any help on this is highly appreciated. Thank you!
Relevant answer
As you mentioned, the bifurcation diagram allows us to analyze the dynamics of the systems, in this case, chaotic systems. The idea in eliminating a certain amount of data in the time series (no matter if are 1000 secs, 1500 points in the time series, or whatever) before constructing the bifurcation diagrams, lies in eliminating the transitory state of the system and focus on what it is known as steady-state dynamics. I think that is what is referred to in the articles you describe, where the amount of time referred to is not so relevant, and it would suffice to say that the dynamics of the steady-state is analyzed, or that they have not been considered the transitory states for the construction of the bifurcation diagrams.

Question

Consider the famous fractal sets, Mandelbrot and Julia sets. They are based on the idea of choosing two complex numbers Z(0) and C with proper run time and escape-region. They are achieved by repeatedly evaluating the following equation:
Z(n+1) = Z(n)^2+C
For example, in Mandelbrot set, consider a 400×400 mesh when x is in [-2.5 1.5], y is in [-1.5 1.5], run-time is 32 and the escape region is 2.
The final plot is as follows
The yellow part in that figure corresponds to the points in which the value of the function never reaches the escape region. However, the different spectrum of the blue points corresponds to the iterations in which the function crosses the escape region
I have two questions:
a) Is there any study on the transient part of such process (and not steady state)
b) What happens when we don’t consider escape-region?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Sajad,
There are a number of ways in which fractal structures can appear in dynamical systems. It is important to differentiate here between two situations: the fractal which appears in the border of the Mandelbrot set is in parameter space (since c is a parameter) and the one which appears after you choose a value for c inside the Mandelbrot set and analyse the system's phase space is called the Julia set.
For the Mandelbrot set, the fractal structure appears as the limit between the values of c in which z = 0 diverges or not. Since I have never formally studied dynamics on parameter space, I cannot discuss on it.
For the Julia set, you have what is called a fractal basin boundary. What occurs here is that there are stable invariant manifolds related to one or more unstable periodic orbits (or fixed points), that have zero measure and affect the dynamics of the system by acting as boundaries between different final states. When you set the parameters you described, you are separating the different dynamical behaviors in order to see the boundary between them.
This situation is the mechanism behind final state sensitivity in chaotic systems, that is, an error in initial conditions near the boundary leads to an error in our knowledge of the system's final state which is not linear, but goes with the fractal dimension of the boundary. (See "Grebogi et al, Final state sensitivity: an obstruction to predictability").
Another famous example in which fractal basin boundaries appear and which can be more understandable is the "Hénon map". (See, for example, "Chaos", by Alligood et al, chapter 4).
Formally answering your questions:
a) In this case, chaos manifests itself as a transient behavior and its relevance depends on your application. I haven't seen transient analysis in the Julia set (although I am certain it exists), but I know it was studied in other systems. (See, for example, "Transient Chaos" by Lai and Tel).
b) If you don't consider the escape region, you cannot distinguish between the orbits that diverge and the ones that do not. Therefore, you will not be able to highlight the boundary between these sets.
Kind regards

If two interconnected boxes were to exchange water, Box#1 is full and Box#2 empty.
Suppose the rate of emptying of Box#1 is ½. It will generate a distribution 1, ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, … Let it be its probability distribution, p.
Similarly, the filling Box#2 will have a similar, filling of the box, distribution 0, ½, ¾, 7/8, 15/16, … Let us call it probability distribution q.
Information or Shannon entropy I(Box#1) = Sum of p ln(1/p) and I(Box#2) = Sum of q ln(1/q).
In our example of two interconnected, information sharing boxes, there will be
I(Box#1)> I(Box#2) always.
In the case of emptying @1/2, I(Box#1) =1.386 > I(Box#2) =0.8015.
The same is true for any other rate, like @1/4, I(Box#1) =3.45 > I(Box#2) = 2.165.
Or any other rate of transfer of water.
The question is: How can the information transferred between two interconnected, information sharing boxes be different while there is no ‘Channel’ in between? Can you answer? The clues are in the two references below. You can use any other reference of your choice, please explain this apparent PARADOX!
References: (1) C. E. Shannon, A Mathematical Theory of Communication, Bell Systems Tech. J. 27, 379 (1948). (2) S. Ahmad, Information generating, sharing and manipulating Source-Reservoir-Sink model of self-organizing dissipative structures, Chaos 28, 123125 (2018).

Answer
The Paradox or the surprising result is the difference between the information- theoretic entropies of the Emptying Box#1 and the Filling Box#2. The same quantity of the material is exchanged between the two, yet the emerging information differs. The detailed, step-wise analysis shows that Kolmogrov complexity has a significant effect on the net information and that this effect is most effective for smaller probabilities as ln(1/p). .
