To address the challenge of detecting underwater weak signals at ultra-low Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNR), we propose a novel detection method that integrates high-order double-coupled Duffing oscillator, Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT), and Hilbert Transform. This approach begins with the introduction of a novel high-order double-coupled Duffing oscillator, whose dynamic behavior is thoroughly analyzed using nonlinear techniques, including Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation analysis, and entropy measures. The analysis proves that the improved Duffing oscillator has excellent robustness to different noise. Then, combined with the constructed geometric frequency array and the scale transformation, a new weak signal detection array that can detect any frequency is constructed. The system discerns the presence of underwater signals by monitoring changes in the attractor trajectory, specifically transitions from chaotic behavior to large-period or intermittent chaos. Finally, a novel frequency extraction method that leverages EWT and Hilbert Transform is proposed, which can achieve noise reduction and kurtosis optimization for intermittent chaotic signals, thereby extracting the actual frequency of underwater weak signals. Experimental results confirm that the proposed detection array effectively identifies underwater weak signals submerged in complex noise environments, achieving a detection SNR of -38.42 dB and an extracted signal frequency error of <1 %. The simulation results meet the stringent accuracy requirements for underwater sonar applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20050,"journal":{"name":"Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena","volume":"481 ","pages":"Article 134775"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144221999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a non-commutative polynomial algebra over the real line generated by the solution (and its partial derivatives) to the linearised form of the KP and mKP equations. The algebra is endowed with a pre-Pöppe product, based on the product rule for semi-additive operators pioneered by Pöppe for the commutative KP equation.

By utilizing the fact that the critical manifold is both normally hyperbolic and invariant, we rigorously establish the existence of algebraically decaying pulses by combining GSPT with the Melnikov method. It is proven that the model has a unique algebraically decaying pulse. On the other hand, the slowly degenerate nonlinearity results in that the linearized matrix associated with the eigenvalue problem no longer approaches the constant matrix exponentially. Hence, we must solve the resulting linear “time-varying” problem. By classifying the power of the slowly degenerate nonlinearity, we introduce different special functions including the Whittaker function and the Bessel function to solve this linear problem explicitly. Thus the spectral (in)stability criteria on the algebraically delaying pulse can be set up by matching the slow and fast segments of the eigenfunctions.

It is found that this diffusion asymmetry has the potential to effectively instigate amplitude death (AD) as well as sustain oscillatory behavior in the coupled units. When the feedback is stronger than the external node signal it aids the occurrence of AD by either inducing it or enhancing the already existing AD regime. On the contrary, weak feedback resists the occurrence of AD and sustains oscillatory motion. These results are found generic to identical, conjugate, and mixed diffusive couplings. Identical diffusion has been explored for both instantaneous and delayed interactions.
