We investigate the propagation of bistable fronts in lattices of diffusively and advectively coupled cubic and quartic bistable maps, reporting the distribution of both stable states for asymmetric basins of attraction. The main effects of basin symmetry and local nonlinearities are obtained by...

We introduce a class of models composed by lattices of coupled complex-amplitude oscillators which preserve the norm. These models are particularly well adapted to investigate phenomena described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The coupling between oscillators is parameterized by the...

We introduce a minimal agent model to explain the emergence of heavy-tailed return distributions as a result of self-organized criticality. The model assumes that agents trade their economic outputs with each other composing a complex network of agents and connections. Further, the incoming...

We describe a novel mechanism for inducing traveling-wave attractors in rings of coupled maps. Traveling waves are easily produced when parameters controlling local dynamics vary from site to site. We also present some statistical results regarding the distribution of periodic time-evolutions.

We report surprisingly regular behaviors observed for a class 4 cellular automaton, the totalistic rule 20: starting from disordered initial configurations the automaton produces patterns which are periodic not only in time but also in space. This is the first evidence that different types of...

By varying real parameters, unstable complex orbits may become stable over wide parameter ranges. Thus, phase diagrams obtained by analyzing solely the stability of real solutions may be incomplete.

We investigate the parameter space of two coupled quadratic (logistic) maps. Of special interest is the analytical characterization of the precursors leading to riddled basins. We delimit stability domains for orbits with the two lowest periods. In addition, we study the singularities of the...

We simulate a 2D coupled map lattice formed by individual units consisting of a multi-attractor quartic map. We show that the interesting recently discovered non-trivial collective behaviors (where macroscopic quantities show well-defined, usually regular, temporal evolution in spite of the...

We prove a theorem establishing a direct link between macroscopically observed periodic motions and certain subsets of intrinsically discrete orbits which are selected naturally by the dynamics from the skeleton of unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) underlying classical and quantum dynamics. As a...

We report exact analytical expressions locating the 0→1, 1→2 and 2→4 bifurcation curves for a prototypical system of two linearly coupled quadratic maps. Of interest is the precise location of the parameter sets where Naimark–Sacker bifurcations occur, starting from a non-diagonal...
