Replication of period-doubling route to chaos in coupled systems with delay


Mehmet Onur Fen, Fatma Tokmak Fen




In this study, replication of a period-doubling cascade in coupled systems with delay is rigorously proved under certain assumptions, which guarantee the existence of bounded solutions and replication of sensitivity. A novel definition for replication of sensitivity is utilized, in which the proximity of solutions is considered in an interval instead of a single point. Examples with simulations supporting the theoretical results concerning sensitivity and period-doubling cascade are provided
