Sample-Based Methods of Analysis for Multistable Dynamical Systems

摘要

In this paper we present how sample based analysis can complement classical methods for analysis of dynamical systems. We describe how sample based algorithms can be utilized to obtain better understanding of complex dynamical phenomena, especially in multistable dynamical systems that are difficult for analytical investigations. Relying on the simple, direct numerical integration algorithms we are able to detect all possible solutions including hidden and rare attractors; investigate the ranges of stability in multiple parameters space; analyse the influence of parameters mismatch or model imperfections; assess the risk of dangerous or unwanted behaviour and reveal the structure of multidimensional phase space. For each mentioned application we present methodology, example on paradigmatic non-linear dynamical system and discuss practical applications. The presented methods of analysis can be applied to solve numerous of scientific problems originating from different disciplines. Moreover, their robustness and efficiency will grow with the upcoming increase of computational power.
