Cross and joint ordinal partition transition networks for multivariate time series analysis

摘要

We propose the construction of cross and joint ordinal pattern transition networks from multivariate time series for two coupled systems, where synchronizations are often present. In particular, we focus on phase synchronization, which is a prototypical scenario in dynamical systems. We systematically show that cross and joint ordinal pattern transition networks are sensitive to phase synchronization. Furthermore, we find that some particular missing ordinal patterns play crucial roles in forming the detailed structures in the parameter space, whereas the calculations of permutation entropy measures often do not. We conclude that cross and joint ordinal partition transition network approaches provide complementary insights into the traditional symbolic analysis of synchronization transitions.
