The texture of phase space and bifurcation diagrams of two-dimensional discrete maps describing a lattice of interacting oscillators, confined in on-site potentials with deformable double-well shapes, are examined. The two double-well potentials considered belong to a family proposed by Dikande and Kofane (A. M. Dikande and T. C. Kofane, Solid State Commun. vol. 89, p. 559, 1994), whose shapes can be tuned distinctively: one has a variable barrier height and the other has variable minima positions. However the two parametrized double-well potentials reduce to the $phi^4$ substrate, familiar in the studies of structural phase transitions in centro-symmetric crystals or bistable processes in biophysics. It is shown that although the parametric maps are area preserving their routes to chaos display different characteristic features: the first map exhibits a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations with respect to the potential amplitude, but period-halving bifurcations with respect to the shape deformability parameter. On the other hand the first bifurcation of the second map always coincides with the first pitchfork bifurcation of the $phi^4$ map. However, an increase of the deformability parameter shrinks the region between successive period-doubling bifurcations. The two opposite bifurcation cascades characterizing the first map, and the shrinkage of regions between successive bifurcation cascades which is characteristic of the second map, suggest a non-universal character of the Feigenbaum-number sequences associate with the two discrete parametric double-well maps.

We consider both the dynamics within and towards the supercycle attractors along the period-doubling route to chaos to analyze the development of a statistical-mechanical structure. In this structure the partition function consists of the sum of the attractor position distances known as supercycle diameters and the associated thermodynamic potential measures the rate of approach of trajectories to the attractor. The configurational weights for finite $2^{N}$, and infinite $N rightarrow infty $, periods can be expressed as power laws or deformed exponentials. For finite period the structure is undeveloped in the sense that there is no true configurational degeneracy, but in the limit $Nrightarrow infty $ this is realized together with the analog property of a Legendre transform linking entropies of two ensembles. We also study the partition functions for all $N$ and the action of the Central Limit Theorem via a binomial approximation.
Small-sized systems exhibit a finite number of routes to chaos. However, in extended systems, not all routes to complex spatiotemporal behavior have been fully explored. Starting from the sine-Gordon model of parametrically driven chain of damped nonlinear oscillators, we investigate a route to spatiotemporal chaos emerging from standing waves. The route from the stationary to the chaotic state proceeds through quasiperiodic dynamics. The standing wave undergoes the onset of oscillatory instability, which subsequently exhibits a different critical frequency, from which the complexity originates. A suitable amplitude equation, valid close to the parametric resonance, makes it possible to produce universe results. The respective phase-space structure and bifurcation diagrams are produced in a numerical form. We characterize the relevant dynamical regimes by means of the largest Lyapunov exponent, the power spectrum, and the evolution of the total intensity of the wave field.
Red blood cells (RBCs) are the major component of blood and the flow of blood is dictated by that of RBCs. We employ vesicles, which consist of closed bilayer membranes enclosing a fluid, as a model system to study the behavior of RBCs under a confined Poiseuille flow. We extensively explore two main parameters: i) the degree of confinement of vesicles within the channel, and ii) the flow strength. Rich and complex dynamics for vesicles are revealed ranging from steady-state shapes (in the form of parachute and slipper) to chaotic dynamics of shape. Chaos occurs through a cascade of multiple periodic oscillations of the vesicle shape. We summarize our results in a phase diagram in the parameter plane (degree of confinement, flow strength). This finding highlights the level of complexity of a flowing vesicle in the small Reynolds number where the flow is laminar in the absence of vesicles and can be rendered turbulent due to elasticity of vesicles.
Chaos is generally considered a nuisance, inasmuch as it prevents long-term predictions in physical systems. Here, we present an easily accessible approach to undo deterministic chaos in arbitrary two-dimensional optical chaotic billiards, by introducing spatially varying refractive index therein. The landscape of refractive index is obtained by a conformal transformation from an integrable billiard. Our study shows that this approach is robust to small fluctuations. We show further that trajectory rectification can be realized by relating chaotic billiards with non-Euclidean billiards. Finally, we illustrate the universality of this approach by extending our investigations to arbitrarily deformed optical billiards. This work not only contributes in controlling chaos, but provides a novel pathway to the design of billiards and microcavities with desired properties and functionalities.
We study and characterize a direct route to high-dimensional chaos (i.e. not implying an intermediate low-dimensional attractor) of a system composed out of three coupled Lorenz oscillators. A geometric analysis of this medium-dimensional dynamical system is carried out through a variety of numerical quantitative and qualitative techniques, that ultimately lead to the reconstruction of the route. The main finding is that the transition is organized by a heteroclinic explosion. The observed scenario resembles the classical route to chaos via homoclinic explosion of the Lorenz model.
