Chaos and bifurcations in a discretized fractional model of quasi-periodic plasma perturbations

Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics of a discretized form of quasi-periodic plasma perturbations model (Q-PPP) with nonlocal fractional differential operator possessing singular kernel are investigated. For example, the conditions for the stability and occurrence of Neimark–Sacker (NS) and flip bifurcations in the proposed discretized equations are provided. Moreover, analysis of nonlinearities such as the existence of chaos in this map is proved numerically via bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents and analytically via Marotto’s Theorem. Also, some simulation results are utilized to confirm the theoretical results and to show that the obtained map exhibits double routes to chaos: one is via flip bifurcation and the other is via NS bifurcation. Furthermore, more complex dynamical phenomena such as existence of closed invariant curves, homoclinic orbits, homoclinic connections, period 3 and period 4 attractors are shown. This kind of research is useful for physicists who work with tokamak models.

Dynamical behaviours and stability analysis of a generalized fractional model with a real case study

“…Another interesting study can also be found in [21] where a diffusion equation was considered in a time–space fractional framework. The advantages of fractional differential equations (FDEs) over the models of integer-order, such as those discussed in [22] , [23] , motivate the researchers to investigate fractional-order compartmental models in order to gain a better grasp of complex phenomena [24] , [25] , [26] . To examine the emergence of various diseases, some non-integer order models have also been suggested; for instance, one can see the models for the spread of malaria [27] , Zika virus [28] , and dengue fever [29] , all of which have epidemiologically been confirmed, mathematically been examined, experimentally been collaborated, and computationally been simulated.…”

Complex Dynamics and Chaos Control of a Discrete-Time Predator-Prey Model

“…Te area of discrete-time systems analysis has made great strides in comprehending the complicated dynamics shown by many systems. Classic works in this area, such as the discretized quasiperiodic plasma perturbations model [4,5], the discretized fractional-order predator-prey system [6][7][8], the discrete economic system [9][10][11], and discrete systems describing competition games [12][13][14], have all played important roles in unraveling the complexities of discrete systems. Tese seminal studies have aided understanding of phenomena such as the emergence of complex patterns and bifurcations in plasma oscillations, the impact of fractional-order dynamics on predator-prey population dynamics, the nonlinear dynamics underlying economic systems, and the intricate dynamics of competitive interactions.…”

“…Researchers have continuously proposed and investigated different types of epidemic models in classical and fractional-order cases. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Matouk et al 22 studied the dynamical behavior of fractional-order Hastings-Powell food chain model with an introduction of a new discretization method. They obtained a sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of the solution of their proposed system.…”
