This heavily illustrated book collects in one source most of the mathematically simple
systems of differential equations whose solutions are chaotic. It includes the historically …

Singing behavior in songbirds is a model system for motor control of learned behavior. The
target organs of its central motor programs are the various muscle systems involved in …

Introduction to Mathematical Modeling and Chaotic Dynamics focuses on mathematical
models in natural systems, particularly ecological systems. Most of the models presented are …

In recent years birdsong has developed into an extremely interesting problem for
researchers in several branches of the scientific community. The reason is that of the …

Biomechanical modeling allows obtaining information on physical phenomena that cannot
be directly observed. This study aims to review models that represent voice production. A …

Acoustic data has long been harvested in fundamental voice investigations since it is easily
obtained using a microphone. However, acoustic signals alone do not reveal much about …

We present a dynamical model of the processes involved in birdsong production, relating
qualitatively its parameters with biological ones. In this way, we intend to unify the activity …

The detailed analysis of sound generation in human phonation is severely limited as the
accessibility to the laryngeal flow region is highly restricted. Consequently, the physical …

A model constructed from Navier-Stokes equations and a two-mass vocal fold description is
proposed in this study. The composite model not only has the capability to describe the …

Human phonation is a highly non-linear process in which subglottal flow emanating from the
lungs induces self-oscillations of the vocal folds. In normal conditions, this results in the …
