Terminal Transient Phase of Chimera States — •Thomas Lilienkamp1 and Ulrich Parlitz1, 2 — 1Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen, Germany — 2Institute for Nonlinear Dynamics, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany
In spatially homogeneous systems regions with regular and coherent motion may coexist with regions where irregular and incoherent dynamics occurs. In many cases, chimera states are actually chaotic transients which self-terminate abruptly e.g. towards the completely coherent state. Recent studies of chaotic transients in various systems show, that although the process of self-termination seems to be abrupt [1], a particular final transition phase in state space could be verified, called the "Terminal Transient Phase" [2, 3]. Using small but finite perturbations it was shown, that the state space structure is significantly different in this transition zone. We detected this behavior also in different spatially extended systems which exhibit chimera states. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of perturbations which have a significant impact on trajectories just before the collapse turns out to be correlated with the state of the system. Thus, before its self-termination the chimera state is mostly "vulnerable" only at specific regions of the spatial domain.
