Chronotaxic Systems: A New Class of Self-Sustained Nonautonomous Oscillators

Abstract: Nonautonomous oscillatory systems with stable amplitudes and time-varying frequencies have often been treated as stochastic, inappropriately. We therefore formulate them as a new class and discuss how they generate complex behavior. We show how to extract the underlying dynamics, and we demonstrate that it is simple and deterministic, thus paving the way for a diversity of new systems to be recognized as deterministic. They include complex and nonautonomous oscillatory systems in nature, both individually and … Show more

“…Although stability of the amplitude dynamics of an oscillator can be achieved with autonomous self-sustained limit cycle oscillators, the frequency of this oscillation could be easily changed by weak external perturbations [10]. To account for a case where this frequency of oscillation is also robust to perturbations, yet time-dependent, a completely new approach is required.…”

“…To account for a case where this frequency of oscillation is also robust to perturbations, yet time-dependent, a completely new approach is required. Thus, nonautonomous systems with stable, yet time-varying frequencies were recently addressed, and formulated as chronotaxic systems [10][11][12]. Chronotaxic systems possess a time-dependent point attractor provided by an external drive system.…”

“…A great advantage of these Bayesian methods is their ability to infer dynamics when the system under consideration is not isolated, but is influenced by its environment and other processes to which it may be weakly coupled [16][17][18][19]. One manifestation of such external influence occurs when the underlying dynamical systems are subject to noise, and it has already been studied in detail theoretically [1,10,12,[20][21][22].…”

“…Very often these interactions are assessed successfully to a relatively great extend when they are considered isolated, however in some cases there is additional complexity due to external influences and the existing time-variability. From the aspect of mathematical models, such systems and their interactions are studied as non-autonomous dynamical systems [5][6][7][8][9]. The timevariability can have different effects on the interactions, including for example, changes in frequency, emergence or disappearance of connectivity, transitions to or out of qualitative states, or time-varying form of the coupling functions.…”
