Research studies show that the condensation–nucleation process for forming raindrops is reduced due to atmospheric pollutants. In this scenario, introducing chemical substances may effectively mitigate regional atmospheric pollution, and reduced atmospheric pollution may lead to adequate rainfall. In the present research work, we analyze rainfall dynamics using a modeling approach with the incorporation of a time lag involved between measuring the data for atmospheric pollution and introducing chemical substances in the regional atmosphere. Here, we assume the formation rate of cloud droplets as a decreasing function of atmospheric pollutants. It is also assumed that introducing chemical substances reduces regional atmospheric pollution. Involving time delay as a bifurcation parameter, we analyze the stability, direction, and period of the bifurcating periodic solutions arising through Hopf bifurcation.

The Hopf branch may also be subcritical. We uncover a large variety of spatially extended and spatially localized states in the vicinity of these points and by varying a third parameter show how disconnected branches of time-periodic spatially localized states can be “zipped up” into snaking branches of time-periodic oscillations. These are of two types: a Turing state embedded in an oscillating background, and a breathing Turing state embedded in a non-oscillating background. Stable two-frequency states resembling a mixture of these two states are also identified. Our results are complemented by direct numerical simulations.

This richness is significantly expanded when nematic liquid crystals are doped with chiral molecules. In simple words, a favorable twist is introduced at a mesoscopic scale in the system, which is manifested through a characteristic length scale, the helical pitch. A classical controlled experiment to observe the response of chiral nematic liquid crystals to external stimuli, is to fill a liquid crystal cell and apply a continuous electrical current. The aftermath will depend on a balance between the elastic and electric properties of the material, the amplitude and frequency of the electric signal, and the competition between the helical pitch and the cell thickness. Although this balance have been studied experimentally and numerically to some extent, the theoretical side of it has been underexplored. In this work, using weakly nonlinear analysis, we derive from first principles a supercritical Ginzburg–Landau type of equation, enabling us to determine theoretically the intricate balance between physical properties that govern the emergence of some chiral textures in the system. Specifically, we focus on how positive and negative vortex solutions of a real cubic Ginzburg–Landau equation are affected by the presence of chirality. We use numerical simulations to show that +1 vortices undergo isotropic stretching, while -1 vortices experience anisotropic deformation, which can be inferred from the free energy of the system. These deformations are in agreement with previous experimental observations.

The coupling mechanism is a particular case of nearest-neighbor coupling, defined by cross-predation, which depicts the fact that the predators have alternative food resources. The study focuses on how dispersion rates and cross-predation affect species coexistence and system dynamics induced by different kinds of bifurcations associated with periodic orbits and stable states. We examined the structural organization of attractors using bifurcation theory and discovered a variety of intricate dynamics, such as symmetric, asymmetric, boundary, and asynchronous attractors. The onset of synchronous and asynchronous dynamical attractors associated with periodic orbits are analyzed by varying the level of coupling strength and the degree of dispersal rates. Another intriguing phenomenon that occurs in our system is the formation of chaotic attractors with asymmetric dynamics from quasi-periodicity as a result of the Neimark-Sacker (NS) bifurcation. We elucidate the emergence and suppression of chaos using the Poincare return map concept. Our system also exhibits intriguing phenomena, such as bistability and multistability, which indicate that it is capable of preserving ecological diversity and enhancing the level of population persistence. Finally, our findings demonstrate that the system’s dynamics are substantially diverse when the dispersal rate is low with limited coupling strengths. The conclusions have a significant impact on the fields of population and evolution science, improving our knowledge of the complex dynamics found in dispersed ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20050,"journal":{"name":"Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena","volume":"472 ","pages":"Article 134525"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143163346","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}
