Recovery of the time-evolution equation of time-delay systems from time series

Abstract

ZusammenfassungWe present a method for time series analysis of both, scalar and nonscalar time-delay systems. If the dynamics of the system investigated is governed by a time-delay induced instability, the method allows to determine the delay time. In a second step, the time-delay differential equation can be recovered from the time series. The method is a generalization of our recently proposed method suitable for time series analysis of scalar time-delay systems. The dynamics is not required to be settled on its attractor, which also makes transient motion accessible to the analysis. If the motion actually takes place on a chaotic attractor, the applicability of the method does not depend on the dimensionality of the chaotic attractor -one main advantage over all time series analysis methods known until now. For demonstration, we analyze time series, which are obtained with the help of the numerical integration of a two-dimensional time-delay differential equation. After having determined the delay time, we recover the nonscalar time-delay differential equation from the time series, in agreement with the 'original' time-delay equation. Finally, possible applications of our analysis method in such different fields as medicine, hydrodynamics, laser physics, and chemistry are discussed. P.A.C.S.: 05.45.+b * published in Phys. Rev.

Recovery of Models of Time-delay Systems from Short Experimental Time Series

“…Автоколебательные модели систем с запаздыва-нием -генераторы с запаздывающей обратной связью (ГЗОС) -характерны для многих техни-ческих, живых систем и других объектов реаль-ного мира [2][3][4][5]. В связи с этим в последние годы был предложен целый ряд специализированных методов реконструкции [6][7][8][9][10]. Однако границы применимости этих методов также ограничены, и требуется поиск новых подходов.…”

“…Известные методы реконструкции хаоти-ческих систем, не учитывающие априорную информацию об исследуемой системе, как правило, требуют наличия экспериментальных реализаций длиной 10 и более времен запазды-вания [6][7][8][9][10], что ограничивает возможности их использования при решении задач анализа экс-периментальных данных.…”

New embedding technique for estimating the delay

“…However, although the existence of the delay can be detected, delay cannot be predicted accurately. On the other hand, in the filling factor method proposed by Bünner and colleagues the delay can be predicted accurately whereas the procedure is not practical since the simulation is carried out under the assumption that all of the state variables can be observed [12]. This is because the number of observable state variables is usually one in the experiment.…”

Characteristics of a delayed system with time-dependent delay time

“…One of the most sensitive measures to detect the delay time of a system [7,11] is the one step prediction error [12]. In the sufficiently small patch U j on (…”
