Our hearing organ, the cochlea, evidently poises itself at a Hopf bifurcation to maximize
tuning and amplification. We show that in this condition several effects are expected to be …

This book is a monograph on chaos in dissipative systems written for those working in the
physical sciences. Emphasis is on symbolic description of the dynamics and various …

In this article, we present a brief overview of some of the recent progress made in identifying
and generating finite dimensional integrable nonlinear dynamical systems, exhibiting …

Symbolic dynamics deals with robust properties of dynamics without digging into numbers.
For one-dimensional maps there have been some new results (periodic window theorem …

A single brief current pulse delivered to a spontaneously beating aggregate of cardiac cells
from embryonic chick heart will reset the rhythm of the aggregate. The resetting depends on …

We show how to characterize a strange attractor by a set of integers. These are extracted
from the chaotic time-series data by first reconstructing the low-period orbits and then …

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 …

In this paper, we consider a generalized second-order nonlinear ordinary differential
equation (ODE) of the form x ̈+(k 1 x q+ k 2) x ̇+ k 3 x 2 q+ 1+ k 4 x q+ 1+ λ 1 x= 0⁠, where …

This paper develops a principle of similarity for the design of a nonlinear absorber, the
nonlinear tuned vibration absorber (NLTVA), attached to a nonlinear primary system …

The effects of periodic pulsatile stimulation on a simple mathematical model of biological
oscillations, called the radial isochron clock (RIC), are investigated as a function of stimulus …
