We study numerically the dynamical behavior of a classical particle inside a box potential that contains a square well which depth varies in time. Two cases of time dependence are investigated: periodic and stochastic. The periodic case is similar to the one-dimensional Fermi accelerator model,...

In this paper we use discrete dynamical systems formalism to carefully investigate the effect of a time-dependent perturbation on a classical mechanical model. We present a study of a one-dimensional Fermi accelerator model and its parametric dependence on the amplitude of the movement of the...

This paper reports a new three-dimensional continuous quadratic autonomous chaotic system, modified from the Lorenz system, in which each equation contains a single quadratic cross-product term, which is different from the Lorenz, Rössler, Chen, Lü systems. Basic properties of the new system...

A moving blocks bootstrap procedure is used to investigate the dynamics of nominal exchange rates and the return rates of the US Dollar against the Polish Zloty. The problem if these financial time series exhibit chaotic behavior is undertaken. A possibility of detecting the presence of a...

In a global network, which consists of many connected local networks, the self-organization processes are studied. The coupling between networks is taken into account in addition to the coupling between neurons. As dynamics of neural network two cases are treated: (1) the chaotic Brownian...

The synchronization (CS) and anti-synchronization (AS) of two non-identical inertial ratchets moving in different asymmetric potentials and transporting particles chaotically is demonstrated based on a technique derived from nonlinear control theory. It is shown that in the CS state, particle...

We investigate the quantum walk on the line when decoherences are introduced either through simultaneous measurements of the chirality and particle position, or as a result of broken links. Both mechanisms drive the system to a classical diffusive behavior. In the case of measurements, we show...

We study the stability of self-sustained oscillations under the influence of external noise. For small-noise amplitude a phase approximation for the Langevin dynamics is valid. A stationary distribution of the phase is used for an analytic calculation of the maximal Lyapunov exponent. We...

The continuum percolation system is developed to model a random stock price process in this work. Recent empirical research has demonstrated various statistical features of stock price changes, the financial model aiming at understanding price fluctuations needs to define a mechanism for the...
