Two-dimensional pseudo-random coupled map lattices system based on partitioned elementary cellular automata and its dynamic properties by Youheng DONG, Geng ZHAO, Yingjie MA

“…To solve the weak chaos in the spatiotemporal chaotic system based on coupled map lattices under some control parameters and the un-uniformity of sequences generated by the coupled map lattices, a two-dimensional pseudo-random coupled map lattices (2D-PRCML) system was proposed.Firstly, the two-dimensional partitioned elementary cellular automata (2D-PECA) was designed to establish pseudo-random coupling.Secondly, iterative results of 2D-PECA were utilized to perturb the 2D-PRCML system.The chaotic behaviors of the proposed system, such as the bifurcation diagram, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, were investigated.Moreover, the uniformity of sequences generated by the 2D-PRCML system was discussed, and the correlation coefficients between any two sequences generated by different lattices were acquired.The analyses and tests indicate that the 2D-PRCML system exhibits stronger chaotic behavior.Furthermore, the sequence generated by the proposed system possesses better uniformity, randomness, and unpredictability.The outstanding properties of the 2D-PRCML system prove that it is more suitable for applying in cryptography and chaotic secure communication.…”

Fractional Soliton and Semirational Solutions of a Fractional Two-Component Generalized Hirota Equation by Sheng Zhang, Feng Zhu, Bo Xu

“…In addition, we find that the dominant role of fractional order leads to new dynamic characteristics of the obtained fractional soliton and semirational solutions, mainly including a certain degree of tilt of wave crests and the variations in velocities and wave widths over time during propagation, which are not possessed by the corresponding integer-order TCGH equation. …”

On Some Aspects of the Poetic of ri in Dante’s Divine Comedy: Possibilities of Semantic Clustering by Ülar Ploom

“…However, this study will focus on cases where the occurrences of ri possess rhythmic and/or semantic relevance. First, a brief exploration of De vulgari eloquentia, Dante’s own treatise on language and poetry, will determine whether the poet theorises rhythm and sound semantics in this work, and whether he considers smaller textual units than the word. …”
