Study Notes
Dynamical Systems
- Dynamical systems are areas of mathematics
- They use deterministic equations that represent how systems evolve over time
- Behaviors are qualitatively different depending on varying parameters
- Some systems exhibit long-term unpredictable behavior

Continuous Dynamical Systems
- Time, t, is a continuous variable
- The equation dx(t)/dt = F[x(t)] represents the system's evolution.
- This is also expressed as a vector of equations.
dx(1)/dt = F₁[x(1), x(2),...,x(N)] dx(2)/dt = F₂[x(1), x(2),...,x(N)] ... dx(N)/dt = FN[x(1), x(2),...,x(N)]
Discrete Dynamical Systems
- Time, n, is discrete (instants)
- n ∈ {0, 1, 2,...}
- A map describes the system as
Xn+1 = M (xn) with Xn = (x₁), x₂),... , x(n) M = M₁, M₂, ..., MN - Orbits are similar to flows.
Flows to Maps
- A flow of dimension N can be reduced to a map of dimension N-1 via a Poincaré section surface.
Orbti Complexity
- Flows (N ≥ 3) may exhibit chaos.
- Maps (N ≥ 2) may exhibit chaos.
- Non-invertible maps can show chaos with N = 1
Logistic Equation
- M(x) = rx(1-x)
- Chaos is observed for specific ranges of r.
Conservative Systems
- All points within an initial closed surface (dimension N-1) evolve to points on another closed surface (same dimension) in time t.
- Volumes (V(0), V(t)) delimited by such surfaces remain equal.
- Newton equations of frictionless body movement are examples.
- Non-conservative systems do not conserve volume.
Conservative Systems (Formally)
- Formally, the divergence theorem explains conservation of divergence as
dV(t)/dt =∫∫∫ S_i FdN_x ∇ ⋅ F = Σ₁ₙ Fᵢ(x₁, ..., xₙ) / ∂xᵢ - A system is conservative if dV(t)/dt = 0; dissipative otherwise
- In maps: conservative if J(X)= |det[M(X) / ∂x]| = 1
- dissipative if J(X) <1 in some region
Attractors
- Fixed points: orbits converge to a point, exponentially
- Limit cycles: orbits get close to a difference in the order of △(0) and maintain the proximity indefinitely.
- Chaotic: orbits diverge exponentially
Partial Measurement
- Not all system state components (X(t)) are always accessible
- Use g(t)= G(X(t)) for one component/ a scalar function of X(t) to learn attractor (geometry & dynamics)
- Delay coordinate vector Y is developed from these g(t) values with delay T (~ characteristic time of g(t))
Delay Coordinate Vector
- Integration back in time provides X(t-mτ)=Lm(X(t)).
- Thus, Y= H(X), which is a function of the original phase space (X)
- A large value of M yields a phase space Y with attractor structure similar to X
Stability of Fixed Points
| Case | Condition | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stable | df(x)/dx | < |
| Unstable | df(x)/dx | > |
| Super-stable | df(x)/dx | = |
| Meta-stable | df(x)/dx | = |
| Description | Remarks |
|---|---|
| Lyapunov exponent | Long-term average divergence of orbits |
Logistic Map
- A simplified model of annual insect population variation. Xn₊₁=rXn(1-Xn)
- Conserves volume for 0 < r < 4
- x* = 0, x* = 1-1/r are the attractors.
Logistic Map Stability
- Study attractor stability by calculating λ= |r(1-2x)|
- For attractors:
- x* = 0 ⇒ λ = |r|
- x* = 1 - 1/r ⇒ λ= |2-r|
Bifurcation Diagram
- Transition from stable to unstable behavior
Quasi-periodicity
- Periodic functions (continuous/discrete) with multiple frequencies
- The frequencies aren't commensurate.
Route to Chaos
- Transition steps: stable state, periodic orbits, limit cycle, quasi-periodicity, chaos
Symbolic Dynamics
- Representation of a dynamical system's phase space by regions with labels.
- Converts numeric trajectories into symbolic sequences.
- Formal language (language structure) analysis of these sequences.
Feigenbaum Constants
- Universal constants describing bifurcation rates in dissipative systems entering a chaotic stage.
- rₘ - rₘ-₁ / rₘ₊₁ - rₘ → 4.6692....
- dₘ / dₘ₊₁ → -2.5028....
Lyapunov Exponent
- Measures the exponential divergence of trajectories in a dynamical system.
- Positive value indicates chaos.
- Zero value indicates non-chaos
Uni-Dimensional Flows (No Chaos)
| Type | Description | λ |
|---|---|---|
| Attractor | Stable fixed point | λ < 0 |
| Repeller | Unstable fixed point | λ > 0 |
| Saddle | Attracts on one side, repels on another | both |
Rare Cases in 1D;
| Characteristic (λ) | Case | Observations |
|---|---|---|
| λ = 0 | Fixed point, same signal left/right; Structural instability. | Attractor and/or repeller can change type or disappear. |
2D Saddle Point
- λ₁ < 0, λ₂ > 0, or combinations
- fixed point classification based on the signs of λ₁ and λ₂
Landscape as Phase Space of a 2D Dynamical System
- Visualization of phase space using a topographic plot.
Lyapunov Exponents in Flows
- The system is chaotic if at least one Lyapunov exponent is positive. (+,-,-), (+,0,-), (0,-,0): fixed point, limit cycle, quasi-periodic torus, chaotic)
Kolmogorov-Sinai Entropy
- Entropy measurement of dynamic system complexity/chaotic behavior
- Probability calculation (relative frequency) for the system visiting each cell;
- If the number of occupied cells gets bigger, the entropy grows. a higher value reflects more complex behavior
