Interactive: drag to rotate

Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{y_{0}} &= curr + f \sin{\left(y_{2} \right)} - \frac{y_{0}^{3}}{3} + y_{0} - y_{1} \\ \dot{y_{1}} &= \gamma \left(a - b y_{1} + y_{0}\right) \\ \dot{y_{2}} &= \omega \end{aligned} \]

Parameters

b 0.8 constant of the slow recovery dynamics
curr 0.965 constant baseline stimulus current
f 0.400823 amplitude of the periodic stimulus
gamma 0.08 recovery (slow-variable) timescale factor
omega 0.0436508 angular frequency of the periodic stimulus

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

sys = ts.systems.ForcedFitzHughNagumo()
traj = sys.integrate(final_time=100.0, dt=0.01)

exps = sys.lyapunov_spectrum()
ts.kaplan_yorke_dimension(exps)
