Abstract:
We have studied the bifurcation structure of the logistic map with a time dependant control parameter. By introducing a specific nonlinear variation for the parameter, we show that the bifurcation structure is modified qualitatively as well as quantitatively from the first bifurcation onwards. We have also computed the two Lyapunov exponents of the system and find that the modulated logistic map is less chaotic compared to the logistic map.

Abstract:
We present the analytical investigations on a logistic map with a discontinuity at the
centre. An explanation for the bifurcation phenomenon in discontinuous systems is presented. We
establish that whenever the elements of an n-cycle (n > 1) approach the discontinuities of the nth
iterate of the map, a bifurcation other than the usual period-doubling one takes place. The periods of
the cycles decrease in an arithmetic progression, as the control parameter is varied. The system also
shows the presence of multiple attractors. Our results are verified by numerical experiments as well.

Abstract:
The effect of coupling on two high frequency modulated semiconductor lasers is numerically studied. The phase diagrams and bifurcatio.n diagrams are drawn. As the coupling constant is increased the system goes from chaotic to periodic behavior through a reverse period doubling sequence. The Lyapunov exponent is calculated to characterize chaotic and periodic regions.
