Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinear dynamical systems have been a fundamental topic of study over the last few centuries due to the multiple advances in science originating from their vast and rigorous formulations of celestial mechanics, chaos dynamics, fractal geometry, emergence of complexity, neuroscience, and biological models, among others. In parallel to this progress, modern mathematical tools have been developed that provide bridges between measure theory, topology, functional analysis, group theory, and differential equations.

This Special Issue invites authors to submit original works and new research results about nonlinear dynamical systems of mathematical physics. Submissions addressing mathematical features of nonlinear dynamical systems bringing novel connections with foundations of physical theories are especially welcome.

Special topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Nonlinear dynamical systems;
  • Ergodic hierarchy;
  • Chaotic systems;
  • Probabilistic description of dynamical systems;
  • Fractal aspects of nonlinear dynamics;
  • Complex systems;
  • Numerical simulation of nonlinear dynamics.

The magnetic field of the Sun is formed by the mechanism of hydromagnetic dynamo. In this mechanism, the flow of the conducting medium (plasma) of the convective zone generates a magnetic field, and this field corrects the flow using the Lorentz force, creating feedback. An important role in dynamo is played by memory (hereditary), when a change in the current state of a physical system depends on its states in the past. Taking these effects into account may provide a more accurate description of the generation of the Sun’s magnetic field. This paper generalizes classical dynamo models by including hereditary feedback effects. The feedback parameters such as the presence or absence of delay, delay duration, and memory duration are additional degrees of freedom. This can provide more diverse dynamic modes compared to classical memoryless models. The proposed model is based on the kinematic dynamo problem, where the large-scale velocity field is predetermined. The field in the model is represented as a linear combination of two stationary predetermined modes with time-dependent amplitudes. For these amplitudes, equations are obtained based on the kinematic dynamo equations. The model includes two generators of a large-scale magnetic field. In the first, the field is generated due to large-scale flow of the medium. The second generator has a turbulent nature; in it, generation occurs due to the nonlinear interaction of small-scale pulsations of the magnetic field and velocity. Memory in the system under study is implemented in the form of feedback distributed over all past states of the system. The feedback is represented by an integral term of the type of convolution of a quadratic form of phase variables with a kernel of a fairly general form. The quadratic form models the influence of the Lorentz force. This integral term describes the turbulent generator quenching. Mathematically, this model is written with a system of integro-differential equations for amplitudes of modes. The model was applied to a real space object, namely, the solar dynamo. The model representation of the Sun’s velocity field was constructed based on helioseismological data. Free field decay modes were chosen as components of the magnetic field. The work considered cases when hereditary feedback with the system arose instantly or with a delay. The simulation results showed that the model under study reproduces dynamic modes characteristic of the solar dynamo, if there is a delay in the feedback. Full article
