Lyapunov exponents.

A test of hyperbolic nature of chaotic attractors, based on an analysis of statistics distribution of angles between stable and unstable subspaces, is applied to reduced finite­dimensional models of distributed systems which are the modifications of the Swift–Hohenberg equation and Brusselator model, as well as to the problem of parametric excitation of standing waves by the modulated pump.

One of the key turbulence theory idea is a cascade energy transmission through the spectrum from large to small scales. It appears that this idea could be used for complex dynamics realization in a different­nature systems even when equations are knowingly differ from hydrodynamical. The system of four van der Pol oscillators is considered in this paper. Chaos generation is realized by cascade excitation transmission from one oscillator to another with frequency doubling.

We considered the discrete map with quasi-periodic dynamics in the wide band of the parameters and investigated the structure of the parameter plane of two coupled maps. We revealed the doublings of 3D-tori, the systems of 2D-tori and synchronization tongues and the resonance web. Also we revealed the attractors with complex structure and the largest Lyapunov exponent close to zero.
