Stochastic dynamics and control in nonlinear waves with Darboux transformations, quasi-periodic behavior, and noise-induced transitions

Abstract

Stochastically forced nonlinear wave systems are commonly associated with complex dynamical behavior, although little is known about the general interaction of nonlinear dispersion, irrational forcing frequencies, and multiplicative noise. To fill this gap, we consider a generalized stochastic SIdV equation and examine the effects of deterministic and stochastic influences on the long-term behavior of the equation. The PDE was modeled using a stochastic traveling-wave transformation that simplifies it into a planar system, which was studied using Darboux-seeded constructions, Poincar & eacute; maps, bifurcation patterns, Lyapunov exponents, recurrence plots, and sensitivity diagnostics. We discovered that natural, implicit, and unique seeds produce highly diverse transformed wave fields exhibiting both irrational and golden-ratio forcing, controlling the transition from quasi-periodicity to chaos. Stochastic perturbation is demonstrated to suppress as well as to amplify chaotic states, based on noise levels, altering attractor geometry, predictability, and multistability. Meanwhile, OGY control is demonstrated to be able to stabilize chosen unstable periodic orbits of the double-well regime. A stochastic bifurcation analysis was performed with respect to noise strength sigma, revealing that the attractor structure of the system remains robust under stochastic excitation, with noise inducing only bounded fluctuations rather than qualitative dynamical transitions within the investigated parameter regime. These findings demonstrate that the emergence, deformation, and controllability of complex oscillatory patterns of stochastic nonlinear wave models are jointly controlled by nonlinear structure, external forcing, and noise.
