RESUMEN
We investigate numerically the effects of external time-periodic potentials on time-localized perturbations to the amplitude of electromagnetic waves propagating in normal-dispersion fiber lasers which are described by the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. Two main effects were found: The formation of domains enclosed by two maxima of the external periodic field and the generation of a chaotic behavior of these domains in the region of relatively high amplitudes and low frequencies of the external fields. Maps and bifurcation diagrams of the largest Lyapunov exponent and moments, such as energy and momentum, are also provided for different values of the amplitude and frequency of such external potentials.
RESUMEN
We study two-dimensional localized patterns in weakly dissipative systems that are driven parametrically. As a generic model for many different physical situations we use a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation that contains parametric forcing, damping, and spatial coupling. The latter allows for the existence of localized pattern states, where a finite-amplitude uniform state coexists with an inhomogeneous one. In particular, we study numerically two-dimensional patterns. Increasing the driving forces, first the localized pattern dynamics is regular, becomes chaotic for stronger driving, and finally extends in area to cover almost the whole system. In parallel, the spatial structure of the localized states becomes more and more irregular, ending up as a full spatiotemporal chaotic structure.
RESUMEN
We propose a mathematical nonlinear model for the Tiwanaku civilization collapse based on the assumption, supported by archeological data, that a drought caused a lack of the main resource, water. We evaluate the parameter of our model using archaeological data. According to our numerical simulation the population core should have decreased from 45,000 to 2000 inhabitants due to lake surface contraction.
