Kinetic versus Magnetic Chaos in Toroidal Plasmas: A systematic quantitative comparison

Henok T. Moges, Yannis Antonenas, Giorgos Anastassiou +2

Magnetic field line chaos occurs under the presence of non-axisymmetric perturbations of an axisymmetric equilibrium and is manifested by the destruction of smooth flux surfaces fo…

Quantifying chaos using Lagrangian descriptors

Malcolm Hillebrand, Sebastian Zimper, Arnold Ngapasare +3

We present and validate simple and efficient methods to estimate the chaoticity of orbits in low dimensional dynamical systems from computations of Lagrangian descriptors (LDs) on…

Chaotic dynamics of graphene and graphene nanoribbons

Malcolm Hillebrand, Bertin Many Manda, George Kalosakas +2

We study the chaotic dynamics of graphene structures, considering both a periodic, defect free, graphene sheet and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of various widths. By numerically cal…

Heterogeneity and chaos in the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois DNA model

Malcolm Hillebrand, George Kalosakas, Adrian Schwellnus +1

We discuss the effect of heterogeneity on the chaotic properties of the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois nonlinear model of DNA. Results are presented for the maximum Lyapunov exponent and t…

The Smaller (SALI) and the Generalized (GALI) Alignment Indices: Efficient Methods of Chaos Detection

Ch. Skokos, T. Manos

We provide a concise presentation of the Smaller (SALI) and the Generalized Alignment Index (GALI) methods of chaos detection. These are efficient chaos indicators based on the evo…

Nonequilibrium chaos of disordered nonlinear waves

Charalampos Skokos, Ioannis Gkolias, Sergej Flach

Do nonlinear waves destroy Anderson localization? Computational and experimental studies yield subdiffusive nonequilibrium wave packet spreading. Chaotic dynamics and phase decoher…
