We present a data-driven method for estimating the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) from one-dimensional chaotic time series using machine learning. A predictor is trained to produce out-of-sample, multi-horizon forecasts; the LLE is then inferred from the exponential growth of the geometrically averaged forecast error across the horizon, which serves as a proxy for trajectory divergence. We validate the approach on four canonical 1D maps-logistic, sine, cubic, and Chebyshev-achieving Rpos2 > 0.99 against reference LLE curves with series as short as M = 450. Among baselines, k-nearest neighbor (KNN) yields the closest fits (KNN-R comparable; random forest larger deviations). By design the estimator targets positive exponents: in periodic/stable regimes, it returns values indistinguishable from zero. Noise robustness is assessed by adding zero-mean white measurement noise and summarizing performance vs the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) over parameter sweeps: accuracy saturates for SNRm ≳ 30 dB and collapses below ≈27 dB, a conservative sensor-level benchmark. The method is simple, computationally efficient, and model-agnostic, requiring only stationarity and the presence of a dominant positive exponent. It offers a practical route to LLE estimation in experimental settings where only scalar time-series measurements are available, with extensions to higher-dimensional and irregularly sampled data left for future work.</p>","PeriodicalId":9974,"journal":{"name":"Chaos","volume":"35 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145198548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we integrate structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging data from the UCLA Multimodal Connectivity Database to construct a large-scale whole-brain network model, aiming to investigate the potential neural mechanism of E-I imbalance in ASD. We find that compared with healthy controls, patients with ASD exhibit stronger structural-functional connectivity (SC-FC) coupling, suggesting impaired cognitive flexibility. Model analysis demonstrates altered network dynamics in ASD, characterized by reduced optimal coupling strength between empirical and simulated FC and a lower small-world index in simulated functional networks. Furthermore, a marked shift in neural oscillations is observed in ASD, including increased activity in the δ band and decreased activity in the α band, consistent with clinical findings. More importantly, our study reveals heterogeneous reductions of the E-I ratio in ASD across multiple spatial scales, spanning from local brain regions to large-scale networks, particularly highlighting a significant negative correlation between E-I ratio and SC-FC coupling. These findings establish a direct link between E-I dysregulation and abnormal structure-function integration in brain networks, providing novel insights into the complex pathogenesis underlying ASD.</p>","PeriodicalId":9974,"journal":{"name":"Chaos","volume":"35 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145249910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better understand the dynamic relationship between CO2 concentration, human population, and energy consumption in a stochastic environment, we propose and investigate a stochastic carbon emissions model and further consider its near-optimal control (NOC) problem. We first focus on the natural evolution scenario without intervention measures to analyze the dynamic behavior of the carbon emissions system under environmental fluctuations. The results suggest that when environment noise is sufficiently large (such that ϕ<0), it will lead the population to collapse, thereby reducing energy consumption to zero, and eventually returning CO2 concentration to pre-industrial level. This is an unsustainable scenario ecologically for the model. When environment noise is not too large (such that ϖ>0), there exists a unique ergodic stationary distribution. To effectively reduce the CO2 concentration while ensuring a reasonable population size, we then develop a NOC system that incorporates two intervention strategies. Using the Pontryagin stochastic maximum principle, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the near-optimality. Theoretical and numerical results demonstrate that effective CO2 mitigation strategies must consider both ecological sustainability and economic feasibility. From the perspective of policymakers, this study emphasizes the importance of dynamically adjusting emission reduction strategies across different development stages. Such adaptive decision-making can effectively alleviate atmospheric CO2 concentration while ensuring economic and ecological sustainability.</p>","PeriodicalId":9974,"journal":{"name":"Chaos","volume":"35 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145198630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work systematically investigates the complex dynamical regulatory behaviors emerging in neural network architectures with synaptic crosstalk, revealing how different regulatory mechanisms influence the system's chaotic properties. Analysis indicates that the system exhibits a rich variety of chaotic phenomena: amplitude control primarily depends on synaptic crosstalk intensity and internal memristor parameters; periodic dynamic modulation is dominated by memristor parameters, while the regulatory capability of the self-coupling weight on attractor offset has been improved. Furthermore, the system exhibits initial-value-induced shifts and the numerically verified coexistence of homogeneous attractors. Finally, the 4DMCHNN is implemented on a digital circuit platform, and a pseudo-random number generator constructed from its output successfully passes the NIST statistical tests.

While topologically interesting, this homogeneity leads to highly similar statistical characteristics across cavities, potentially posing a threat to its cryptographic applications. To address this limitation, this study proposes a concise chaotic map construction scheme based on discrete memristors. Mathematical analysis reveals that this map exhibits no fixed points and can stably generate hidden attractors. Crucially, by selecting periodic or aperiodic memristive functions, it is possible to construct both homogeneous and heterogeneous multistability or multi-cavity attractors. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the heterogeneous structure breaks the periodic redundancy inherent in its homogeneous counterpart, resulting in a significantly larger and scalable effective key space.
