A New Route to Chaos through the Geometric Composition of Non-Normal Amplification

D. Sornette, V. R. Saiprasad, V. Troude

Chaos emerges when stretching is repeatedly recycled by reinjection. We uncover a new route to chaos in which the decisive variable is the temporal order of non-normal tangent maps…

Non-Normal Route to Chaos

D. Sornette, V. R. Saiprasad, V. Troude

Deterministic chaos is usually associated with local spectral expansion: Jacobian eigenvalues are expected to exceed unity somewhere on the attractor. We show that this view is inc…

Eigenvector Geometry as a New Route to Criticality in Random Multiplicative Systems

Virgile Troude, Didier Sornette

Heavy-tailed fluctuations and power law distributions pervade physics, biology, and the social sciences, with numerous mechanisms proposed for their emergence. Kesten processes, wh…

Unifying Framework for Amplification Mechanisms: Criticality, Resonance and Non-Normality

Virgile Troude, Didier Sornette

We bring together three key amplification mechanisms in linear dynamical systems: spectral criticality, resonance, and non-normality. We present a unified linear framework that bot…

Illusions of Criticality: Crises Without Tipping Points

Virgile Troude, Sandro Claudio Lera, Ke Wu +1

Abrupt shifts in ecosystems, brains, markets, and climate are often diagnosed as signs of approaching a tipping point, i.e. a critical bifurcation where stability is lost. Here we…
