Two-dimensional pseudo-random coupled map lattices system based on partitioned elementary cellular automata and its dynamic properties by Youheng DONG, Geng ZHAO, Yingjie MA

“…To solve the weak chaos in the spatiotemporal chaotic system based on coupled map lattices under some control parameters and the un-uniformity of sequences generated by the coupled map lattices, a two-dimensional pseudo-random coupled map lattices (2D-PRCML) system was proposed.Firstly, the two-dimensional partitioned elementary cellular automata (2D-PECA) was designed to establish pseudo-random coupling.Secondly, iterative results of 2D-PECA were utilized to perturb the 2D-PRCML system.The chaotic behaviors of the proposed system, such as the bifurcation diagram, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, were investigated.Moreover, the uniformity of sequences generated by the 2D-PRCML system was discussed, and the correlation coefficients between any two sequences generated by different lattices were acquired.The analyses and tests indicate that the 2D-PRCML system exhibits stronger chaotic behavior.Furthermore, the sequence generated by the proposed system possesses better uniformity, randomness, and unpredictability.The outstanding properties of the 2D-PRCML system prove that it is more suitable for applying in cryptography and chaotic secure communication.…”

Large-deformation finite-element modeling of seismic landslide runout: 3D probabilistic analysis with cross-correlated random field by Xuejian Chen, Shunping Ren, Kai Yao, Rita Leal Sousa

“…LDFE model results are validated by comparing them against previous studies, followed by an examination of the effects of univariable, uncorrelated bivariable, and cross-correlated bivariable random fields on landslide runout behavior. The study's findings reveal that integrating variability in both friction angle and cohesion within uncorrelated bivariable random fields markedly influences runout distances when compared with univariable random fields. …”
