Scientific software:
- Paul Bryant (C) 2009-2011, LyapOde (Version 6): for calculation of all Lyapunov exponents when the differential equations are known, using the QR decomposition method. Can also calculate the conditional Lyapunov exponents for coupled identical systems. Includes source code written in "C". The software can be compiled for running on Windows, Mac, or Linux/Unix systems. Includes the equations for several systems (Lorenz, Rossler, etc.) and documentation on how to create and compile software for additional systems of the user's choice.
- Paul Bryant (C) 1990, 1993, 2014, Lyap (Current Version 2.1) or Lyap (1990 Version 1.0): for calculation of Lyapunov exponents from time series data. The Lyapunov Exponent calculation is greatly enhanced by using a power series expansion instead of a simple linear function to characterize the mapping of displacement vectors from one time step to the next. Note that calculation of negative exponents from chaotic experimental data is extremely sensitive to noise. This is because the data is confined to a strange attractor which extends very little in directions associated with negative exponents. The software also tries to quantify the extension or degree of singularity of the data set in these directions. Use the ODE code if the equations are known. Includes documentation and test data from the Lorenz system. Includes source code written in Fortran 77. The software can be compiled for running on Windows, Mac, or Linux/Unix systems. Recently compiled succesfully on Windows using the g95 fortran compiler (to install: download, change extension to exe, run).
- Paul Bryant (C) 2008, DataSync (Version 58): for determining optimal parameters for a model of a physical system by fitting the model to one or more experimental time series. The optimization process is enhanced by using synchronization techniques, similar to the methods used to synchronize chaotic systems. A single shooting approach is used in which the initial conditions of the model variables are treated like additional parameters. User can select from several known algorithms to find the parameters that minimize a cost function that characterizes the difference between the model and the time series. The software allows for optional drive signals such as neuron injection current. Multiple datasets and multiple trials can be analyzed simultaneously. Detailed documentation is provided. A variety of model equations are provided for neurons, chaotic systems, etc. Some sample data and configuration files are also provided. Includes source code written in "C". The software can be compiled for running on Windows, Mac, or Linux/Unix systems.
