CHAOS BEHAVIOR IN THE DISCRETE BVP OSCILLATOR
Abstract
The discrete BVP oscillator obtained through the Euler method is investigated, and also first proved that there exist chaotic phenomena in the sense of Marotto's definition of chaos and two-period cycles. And numerical simulations not only show the consistence with the theoretical analysis but also exhibit the complex dynamical behaviors, including the ten-periodic orbit, a cascade of period-doubling bifurcation, quasiperiodic orbits and the chaotic orbits in Marotto's chaos and intermitten's chaos. The computations of Lyapunov exponents confirm the existence of dynamical behaviors.
