We show how a simple scheme of symbolic dynamics distinguishes a chaotic from a random time series and how it can be used to detect structural relationships in coupled dynamics. This is relevant for the question at which scale in complex dynamics regularities and patterns emerge.

We consider analytical formulae that describe the chaotic regions around the main periodic orbit $(x=y=0)$ of the H{e}non map. Following our previous paper (Efthymiopoulos, Contopoulos, Katsanikas $2014$) we introduce new variables $(xi, eta)$ in which the product $xieta=c$ (constant) gives hyperbolic invariant curves. These hyperbolae are mapped by a canonical transformation $Phi$ to the plane $(x,y)$, giving Moser invariant curves. We find that the series $Phi$ are convergent up to a maximum value of $c=c_{max}$. We give estimates of the errors due to the finite truncation of the series and discuss how these errors affect the applicability of analytical computations. For values of the basic parameter $kappa$ of the H{e}non map smaller than a critical value, there is an island of stability, around a stable periodic orbit $S$, containing KAM invariant curves. The Moser curves for $c leq 0.32$ are completely outside the last KAM curve around $S$, the curves with $0.32<c<0.41$ intersect the last KAM curve and the curves with $0.41leq c< c_{max} simeq 0.49$ are completely inside the last KAM curve. All orbits in the chaotic region around the periodic orbit $(x=y=0)$, although they seem random, belong to Moser invariant curves, which, therefore define a structure of chaos. Orbits starting close and outside the last KAM curve remain close to it for a stickiness time that is estimated analytically using the series $Phi$. We finally calculate the periodic orbits that accumulate close to the homoclinic points, i.e. the points of intersection of the asymptotic curves from $x=y=0$, exploiting a method based on the self-intersections of the invariant Moser curves. We find that all the computed periodic orbits are generated from the stable orbit $S$ for smaller values of the H{e}non parameter $kappa$, i.e. they are all regular periodic orbits.
We study Lyapunov vectors (LVs) corresponding to the largest Lyapunov exponents in systems with spatiotemporal chaos. We focus on characteristic LVs and compare the results with backward LVs obtained via successive Gram-Schmidt orthonormalizations. Systems of a very different nature such as coupled-map lattices and the (continuous-time) Lorenz `96 model exhibit the same features in quantitative and qualitative terms. Additionally we propose a minimal stochastic model that reproduces the results for chaotic systems. Our work supports the claims about universality of our earlier results [I. G. Szendro et al., Phys. Rev. E 76, 025202(R) (2007)] for a specific coupled-map lattice.
It is known that the asymptotic invariant manifolds around an unstable periodic orbit in conservative systems can be represented by convergent series (Cherry 1926, Moser 1956, 1958, Giorgilli 2001). The unstable and stable manifolds intersect at an infinity of homoclinic points, generating a complicated homoclinic tangle. In the case of simple mappings it was found (Da Silva Ritter et al. 1987) that the domain of convergence of the formal series extends to infinity along the invariant manifolds. This allows in practice to study the homoclinic tangle using only series. However in the case of Hamiltonian systems, or mappings with a finite analyticity domain,the convergence of the series along the asymptotic manifolds is also finite. Here, we provide numerical indications that the convergence does not reach any homoclinic points. We discuss in detail the convergence problem in various cases and we find the degree of approximation of the analytical invariant manifolds to the real (numerical) manifolds as i) the order of truncation of the series increases, and ii) we use higher numerical precision in computing the coefficients of the series. Then we introduce a new method of series composition, by using action-angle variables, that allows the calculation of the asymptotic manifolds up to an a arbitrarily large extent. This is the first case of an analytic development that allows the computation of the invariant manifolds and their intersections in a Hamiltonian system for an extent long enough to allow the study of homoclinic chaos by analytical means.
We introduce randomness into a class of integrable models and study the spectral form factor as a diagnostic to distinguish between randomness and chaos. Spectral form factors exhibit a characteristic dip-ramp-plateau behavior in the $N>2$ SYK$_2$ model at high temperatures that is absent in the $N=2$ SYK$_2$ model. Our results suggest that this dip-ramp-plateau behavior implies the existence of random eigenvectors in a quantum many-body system. To further support this observation, we examine the Gaussian random transverse Ising model and obtain consistent results without suffering from small $N$ issues. Finally, we demonstrate numerically that expectation values of observables computed in a random quantum state at late times are equivalent to the expectation values computed in the thermal ensemble in a Gaussian random one-qubit model.
In a 2D conservative Hamiltonian system there is a formal integral $Phi$ besides the energy H. This is not convergent near a stable periodic orbit, but it is convergent near an unstable periodic orbit. We explain this difference and we find the convergence radius along the asymptotic curves. In simple mappings this radius is infinite. This allows the theoretical calculation of the asymptotic curves and their intersections at homoclinic points. However in more complex mappings and in Hamiltonian systems the radius of convergence is in general finite and does not allow the theoretical calculation of any homoclinic point. Then we develop a method similar to analytic continuation, applicable in systems expressed in action-angle variables, that allows the calculation of the asymptotic curves to an arbitrary length. In this way we can study analytically the chaotic regions near the unstable periodic orbit and near its homoclinic points.
