Central to this exploration is the effective visualization of stability regimes, which enables the interpretation of how systems evolve under varying conditions. While the area-preserving quadratic Hénon map has received significant theoretical attention, a comprehensive description of its mixed parameter-space dynamics remain lacking. This limitation arises from early attempts to reduce the full two-dimensional phase space to a one-dimensional projection, a simplification that resulted in the loss of important dynamical features. Consequently, there is a clear need for a more thorough understanding of the underlying qualitative aspects.</div><div>This paper aims to address this gap by revisiting the foundational concepts of reversibility and associated symmetries, first explored in the early works of G.D. Birkhoff. We extend the original framework proposed by Hénon by adding a period-doubling diagram to his isochronous diagram, which allows to represents the system’s bifurcations and the groups of symmetric periodic orbits that emerge in typical bifurcations of the fixed point. A qualitative and quantitative explanation of the main features of the region of parameters with bounded motion is provided, along with the application of this technique to other symplectic mappings, including cases of multiple reversibility. Modern chaos indicators, such as the Reversibility Error Method (REM) and the Generalized Alignment Index (GALI), are employed to distinguish between various dynamical regimes in the mixed space of variables and parameters. These tools prove effective in differentiating regular and chaotic dynamics, as well as in identifying twistless orbits and their associated bifurcations. Additionally, we discuss the application of these methods to real-world problems, such as visualizing dynamic aperture in accelerator physics, where our findings have direct relevance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":"198 ","pages":"Article 116513"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144067187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, we conduct numerical simulations to explore the coevolution of mask wearing behavior and respiratory disease spreading in metropolitan populations. The introduction of mask wearing induces multiple transitions in the system. Based on the degree of disease responsiveness to mask wearing, we identify three categories of diseases: Mask-sensitive diseases, Mask-resistant diseases, and Mask-evading diseases. The evolution of mask wearing behavior with increasing disease spreading probability exhibits three distinct phases: Non-mask phase, Growth phase, and Decline phase. While mask wearing effectively reduces the steady state infection density and the peak infection density, it simultaneously prolongs the time required to reach these states. Prolonging the duration of mask wearing increases the average mask wearing rate, whereas intensifying public campaigns reduces it. Additionally, mask wearing increases the infection risk among younger populations and within school settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":"198 ","pages":"Article 116541"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143947928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By introducing parameters for social “stickiness” (interaction strength) and activity synchronization, we simulate group behavior across varying conditions. Our findings reveal that, mathematically, cohesive groups can fragment when individual schedules diverge beyond critical thresholds, and that increasing social stickiness mitigates this effect. We explore these dynamics in the context of group size, subgroup formation, and coupling parameters, drawing parallels to network cohesion and fragmentation in human and artificial social systems.

In order to ensure the suitability and solvability of the problem, firstly, by using the infinite-dimensional stochastic analysis theory, two types of semilinear forward and backward stochastic evolution equations are investigated separately to prove the continuous dependence on the generating elements as well as the existence and uniqueness of the solutions. Secondly, through Yosida approximation theory, a new infinite-dimensional duality relation is constructed between the state equations and the adjoint equations, which is used to obtain the dual representation of the optimal control and the solvability of the infinite-dimensional stochastic Hamiltonian system. Here the stochastic Hamiltonian system consisting of state equations, adjoint equations and stationarity conditions is a infinite-dimension fully coupled forward backward stochastic evolution equations.
