Forecast of Chaotic Series in a Horizon Superior to the Inverse of the Maximum Lyapunov Exponent

Abstract

In this article, two models of the forecast of time series obtained from the chaotic dynamic systems are presented: the Lorenz system, the manufacture system, and the volume of the Great Salt Lake of Utah. The theory of the nonlinear dynamic systems indicates the capacity of making good-quality predictions of series coming from dynamic systems with chaotic behavior up to a temporal horizon determined by the inverse of the major Lyapunov exponent. The analysis of the Fourier power spectrum and the calculation of the maximum Lyapunov exponent allow confirming the origin of the series from a chaotic dynamic system. The delay time and the global dimension are employed as parameters in the models of forecast of artificial neuronal networks (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM). This research demonstrates how forecast models built with ANN and SVM have the capacity of making forecasts of good quality, in a superior temporal horizon at the determined interval by the inverse of the maximum Lyapunov exponent or theoretical forecast frontier before deteriorating exponentially.

Chaos in Opinion-Driven Disease Dynamics

“…One implication of chaotic behavior in opinion-epidemics coupled systems is the obvious difficulty in forecasting dynamics beyond a time horizon larger than the inverse of the largest Lyapunov exponent [47]. There are several natural extensions of our system.…”

Natural Exponential and Three‐Dimensional Chaotic System

“…Considering that the natural exponential function features better signal amplification [43,53] and robust characterization, [20] and can be widely applied to signal denoising, [43,54] forecast and optimization, [55][56][57] a natural exponential and higher dimensional chaotic system is proposed and expanded referring to the classical 2D autonomous Duffing system in this work. Except for the basic x(t) and y(t) in the common 2D Duffing system, another higher dimensional term of z(t) expanded by 𝛼 • xe 𝛽 • x is given in Equation (1).…”

Improved Hybrid Model for Predicting Concrete Crack Openings Based on Chaos Theory

“…A reasonable selection of the delay time and embedding dimension then allows reconstruction of the phase space with satisfactory adaptability, thereby producing the internal nonlinear mapping. By exploiting the properties of the Lyapunov exponent, this approach can recognize and make short-term predictions of chaotic time series [14,15]. Currently, the methods for determining optimized delay time and minimum embedding dimension depend on the amount of data they are fed, the amount of computation, the anti-noise performance, and the objectivity with which the parameters are selected.…”
