This paper deals with the nonlinear dynamics of the biological system modeled by the multi-limit cycles Van der Pol oscillator. Both the autonomous and non-autonomous cases are considered using the analytical and numerical methods. In the autonomous state, the model displays phenomenon of birhythmicity while the harmonic oscillations with their corresponding stability boundaries are tackled in the non-autonomous case. Conditions under which superharmonic, subharmonic and chaotic oscillations occur in the model are also investigated. The analytical results are validated and supplemented by the results of numerical simulations.  2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

20 1. Introduction

CO

Nonlinear oscillators have been a subject of particular interest in recent years [1–9]. This is due to their importance in many scientific fields ranging from physics, chemistry, biology to engineering. Among these nonlinear oscillators, a particular class contains self-sustained components such as the classical Van der Pol oscillator which serves as a paradigm for smoothly oscillating limit cycle or relaxation oscillations [3]. In the presence of an external sinusoidal excitation, it leads to various interesting phenomena such as harmonic, subharmonic and superharmonic oscillations, frequency entrainment [4], devil’s staircase in the behavior of the winding number [5], chaotic behavior in a small range of control parameters [5–7]. The generalization of the classical Van der Pol oscillator including cubic nonlinear term (so-called Duffing–Van der Pol or Van der Pol–Duffing oscillator) has also been investigated by Venkatesan et al. in Ref. [8]. They have shown that the model exhibits chaotic motion between two types of regular motion, namely periodic and quasiperiodic oscillations in the principal resonance region. They have also obtained a perturbative solution for the periodic oscillations and carried out a stability analysis of such solution to predict the Neimark bifurcation. In this paper, we consider another self-excited model namely a biological system based on the enzymes–substrates reactions in order

to show up the behavior of such a system in the autonomous and non-autonomous states. The paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, we describe the biological model under consideration and derive the equations of motion. Section 3 deals with the harmonic oscillatory states of such a model in the autonomous and non-autonomous states using respectively the Lindsted’s perturbation method [9] and the harmonic balance method [1]. The stability boundaries of the forced harmonic oscillations are investigated using the Floquet theory [1,4]. In Section 4, light is shed on the superharmonic and subharmonic oscillations using the multiple time scales method [1]. Strange attractors and transition from regular to chaotic oscillations are tackled in Section 5 through numerical simulations. Conclusion is given in Section 6.

40 2. Biological model and equations of motion

41 Coherent oscillations in biological systems are considered here through the case of an enzymatic substrate reaction 42 with ferroelectric behavior in brain waves model [10]. The following suggestions made by Frohlich [11,12] are taken as a 43 physical basis for a theoretical investigation. • When metabolic energy is available, long-wavelength electric vibrations are very strongly and coherently excited in active biological system. • Biological systems have metastable states with a very high electric polarization.

The number of activated enzyme molecules N can be viewed here as the predator concentration and the substrate molecules S asthe prey  population. From Eqs. (4) and (5), we derive the two following steady states (N0, S0) = (0, 0) and n . Perturbing these activated enzymes and substrate molecules around the nontrivial steady state lead ðN 0 ; S 0 Þ ¼ mCc ; mC us to obtain the equations

These long range interactions may lead to a selective transport of enzymes and thus, rather specific chemical reactions may become possible. For this survey, let us consider a population of enzyme molecules of which N are in the excited polar state and R are not excited. We assume that S is the number of substrate molecules. Both the enzymes and the substrate show long range selective interactions which tend to increase their level by influx. Each transition from the non-polar (or weakly polar) ground state of enzyme to the highly polar excited state leads to the chemical destruction of a substrate molecule. Additionally, there are also spontaneous transitions from the excited to the ground (or weakly polar) state. It is assumed that the rate of increase of the activated enzymes is proportional to their own concentration N, to the rate of the unexcited enzymes R and to the number of the substrate molecules S. Therefore the system can be described by a system of nonlinear differential equations as follows: dN ¼ mNRS  nN ; ð1Þ ds dS ¼ cS  mNRS; ð2Þ ds dR ¼ nN  mNRS  kðR  CÞ. ð3Þ ds m represents the strength of the nonlinear enzyme–substrate reaction, n the decay rate of excited enzymes to the ground (or weakly polar) state and c the range attraction of the substrate particles due to the autocatalytic reactions. k(R  C) also comes from the long range interaction with C the equilibrium concentration of the unexcited enzymes molecules in the absence of the excited enzyme and substrate, i.e., when N = S = 0. One supposes that the equilibrium of the unexcited enzyme concentration is reached fastly in order to simplify the above nonlinear equations. Such a process is also called an adiabatic elimination of the fast variable. Thus both Eqs. (1) and (2) are reduced to the well-known Lotka– Voltera equations [13] dN ¼ mCNS  nN ; ð4Þ ds dS ¼ cS  mCNS. ð5Þ ds

Since an electrical field F interacts with the polarization, it is also important to include its effect which consists of an internal field due to thermal fluctuations and an externally applied field on the excited enzyme. F does not need to be an electrical field necessary and can also represents for example external chemical influences (e.g., an input or an output of enzyme molecules through the transport phenomena).

where an overdot denotes time derivative. The quantities a, b are positive parameters, l is the parameter of nonlinearity while E and X are respectively the amplitude and the frequency of the external excitation. The biological system modeled through Eq. (9) has been considered by Kaiser in Ref. [15]. He has emphasized that in the unforced case, the model is a multi-limit cycles oscillator (so-called the multi-limit cycles Van der Pol oscillator (MLC-VdPo)). Since that model has been introduced, just few aspects of his dynamics have been analyzed. Indeed, Kaiser and Eichwald have investigated additionally to the dominating scenarios bifurcation in the superharmonic region [16], the occurrence of a symmetry breaking crisis subsequent type III intermittency [17]. Our aim is to tackle some aspects of its dynamics which remain unsolved, both in the autonomous and non-autonomous cases, using analytical methods and numerical simulations.

where e and g are respectively the excess concentrations of activated enzymes and substrate molecules beyond their equilibrium values N0 and S0. From Frohlich ideas, we may suppose that in large regions of the system of proteins, substrates, ions and structured water are activated by the chemical energy available from substrate enzyme reactions. pffiffiffiffiffi Thus, chemical oscillations in the number of substrate and activated enzyme molecules with a very low frequency nc might be carried out around the equilibrium state [14]. This oscillation also represents an electric oscillation through the high dipole moment of the excited enzyme. The electric dipole moment of the excited enzyme is partially screened by the ions and the remaining polarization causes the system to display a tendency towards a ferroelectric instability. On the other hand, electric resistances against the system’s tendency to become ferroelectric also have to be accounted for and thus, give a contribution r2P viewed as a relaxation term. Assuming the macroscopic polarization P to be proportional to the time dependent number e of the excited enzyme molecules, a nonlinear dielectric contribution is obtained and given as follows:

We consider in this subsection the case where the model is not influenced by an external force (E = 0) and our purpose is to find the amplitudes and frequencies of the limit cycles. Therefore, an appropriate analytical tool is Lindsted’s perturbation method [9]. In order to permit an interaction between the frequency and the amplitude, it is interesting to set s = xt where x is an unknown frequency. We assume that the periodic solution of Eq.

The amplitudes An (n = 1, 2, 3) of the limit cycles and their related frequencies x(An) are obtained by solving respectively Eqs. (19) and (25) via the Newton–Raphson algorithm. Depending to the values of the parameters a and b, Eq. (19) can give birth to one to one or three positive amplitudes which correspond respectively to the amplitudes of one or three limit cycles. In the case of three limit cycles, two are stable and one is unstable. For instance, with a = 0.144 and b = 0.005, the stable limit cycles have the following characteristics A1 = 2.6390 with the frequency x(A1) = 1.0011 and A2 = 4.8395 with x(A2) = 1.0545 while the unstable limit cycle is given by A3 = 3.9616 with x(A3) = 1.0114. Such a coexistence of two stable limit cycles with different amplitudes and frequencies (or periods) separated by an unstable limit cycle for a given set of parameters refer to as birhythmicity [18]. Therefore, birhythmicity provides the capability of switching back and forth, upon appropriate perturbation or parameter change, between two distinct types of stable oscillations characterized by markedly different periods (or frequencies) and amplitudes. Such a phenomenon is used to model glycotic oscillations in yeast and muscle [19,20]. The unstable limit cycle represents the separatrix between the basins of attraction of the two stable limit cycles. From Eq. (19), a map showing some regions where one or three limit cycles can be found has been constructed as shown in Fig. 1. The above stable limit cycles and their corresponding attraction basins are obtained from a direct numerical simulation of Eq. (9) using the fourth-order Runge–Kutta algorithm (see Fig. 2). The evolution of the amplitude of oscillations versus the parameter a for different values of the parameter b has also been drawn from Eq. (19) as shown in Fig. 3. It appears from that figure the occurrence of jump phenomenon which disappear with increasing b. Such situations can illustrate the explanation of the existence of multiple frequency and intensity windows in the reaction of biological systems when they are irradiated with very low weak electromagnetic fields [21–24].

We find the behavior of A when the frequency of the external excitation X is varied and the results are represented in Fig. 4 where the comparison between analytical and numerical response frequency curves A(X) of the model is shown. We provide in Fig. 5 the effects of E on the multi-limit cycles and it appears that as soon as the amplitude of the external excitation is different from zero, one of the two stable limit-cycles collapses. The physiological importance of such a situation can be explained by the fact that the membrane has stored a lot of energy which created the destruction of one of the two stale limit cycles. The remaining stable limit cycle displays resonance peaks which disappears as the amplitude E increases for some range of parameters. The phenomenon of destruction of one of the two stable limit cycles under the effect of an external field is of capital importance in biology. It is for example the case where one of the cycles is a pathological cycle whereas the second is a physiological limit cycle. In such a situation, the destruction of the pathological limit cycle under the effects of E, which can be represented by external chemical influences (e.g., an input or an output of enzyme molecules via the transport phenomena) is of utility.

For nontrivial solutions, the determinant of the matrix in Eq. (34) must vanish. But since the determinant is infinite, convergence considerations are taking into account by dividing Eq.

We note that the stability of the harmonic solution (26) depends exclusively on the exponent of coefficient   q (see Eq. (31)). Generally, if the real part of the quantity   q is negative, the variation f goes to zero when the time goes up and therefore, the harmonic solution (26) is stable. If it is positive, the solution is unstable and therefore, f never tends to zero when the time increases, but has a bounded oscillatory behavior or goes to infinity. Let us consider the two following possibilities:

(31)) and unstable if q < 0. 304 305 Before discussing the form of instability in the case  ¼ j, let us consider the first harmonic component in the Fou306 rier series of the function w(t) as follows: wðtÞ ¼ t1 cos Xt þ t2 sin Xt.

where t1, t2, u1 and u2 are constants. Therefore, the form of instability defined by  ¼ j (for q < 0) results in a buildup of new harmonic components with the frequencies X þ  and X  , which are in general incommensurate with the frequency X of the periodic solution (26). Where as for q < 0 the solution is unstable and so that q = 0 is the boundary of the instability and stability region (see Fig. 4). That kind of instability can be interpreted as a Neimark instability

which gives rise to a Neimark bifurcation. It should be noticed that the Neimark bifurcation is expected at the frequency where the stable branch of the resonance curve crosses the critical boundary Ac = 1.282 and in this survey, it occurs for X = 0.47 and X = 1.33. As we have mentioned before, the solution described by Eq. (26) is stable if A > Ac and unstable if A < Ac. These results are observed in Fig. 4 following the comparison between analytical and numerical frequency–response curves A(X). The corresponding numerical critical boundary is An = 1.30 for X = 0.474 and X = 1.331. A very good agreement is obtained between analytical and numerical results. The behavior of the model in the Neimark instability region, at the boundary where the Neimark bifurcation occurs and in the domain of stable oscillatory states is reported in Fig. 6. Such kind of instability has been also obtained for the Van der Pol–Duffing oscillator [8].

Such types of oscillations are of interest in the problem of interaction between biological systems and electromagnetic waves. Therefore, depending on the frequency of coherent electromagnetic field which should be applied in order to influence the physico-chemical basis of biological function and order, subharmonic or superharmonic frequencies can be needed. Particularly, there is a great effect of the superharmonic oscillations on the homoclinic bifurcation. Indeed, adding a superharmonic lead first to the elimination of the homoclinic bifurcation and then as a consequence, to the elimination of unwanted scattered chaotic attractors [25]. Such oscillations often occur when the frequency of the

It should be stressed that harmonic, super333 harmonic and subharmonic oscillations take place at different time scales. Thus the best tool to perform them is the 334 multiple time scales method [1].

Eq. (49) is an implicit equation for the amplitude of the response q as a function of the detuning parameter r0 and the amplitude of the forcing term E: it is called the frequency–response equation.

In both cases, the hysteresis phenomenon is observed and one can notice that the parameters a and b have a real effect on the amplitude of such oscillatory states.

Apart the harmonic, superharmonic and subharmonic oscillatory states display by the model, it can also bifurcate from the regular to the chaotic regime. Therefore, it seems very interesting to find the range of parameters for which the model switches from a regular to a chaotic oscillatory states and from a chaotic to a regular oscillation.

OO F

As nonlinear systems, biological systems can show up regular or chaotic motions depending on some perturbation of the initial states in their environment. Thus to find the ways under which strange attractors arise in biological system is useful. Indeed, chaotic motions are of interest in executing activity adaptation and state transitions in response to environmental changes, and consequently creates a rich repertoire of responses [26]. The quenching of chaos in biological systems is important in medical science because, chaos control techniques are expected to bring about new diagnostic tools and therapies for certain types of diseases, including cardiac arrhythmias [27,28] and epilepsy [29]. On the other hand, the existence of chaos is sometimes needed. Thus, the interests have been devoted in the idea that the brain may utilize transition in and out of chaos [30–32] in its processing to form a complex system [33] displaying self-organization [32], capable of generating new types of structure through bifurcation, a sudden qualitative change in structure occurring at a critical value of a continuously varying parameter. In this section, we analyze the way chaos arises in the MLCVdPo described by Eq. (9). For this purpose, we solve it numerically using the Runge–Kutta algorithm and drawn the resulting bifurcation diagram and the variation of the corresponding Lyapunov exponent as the amplitude E and the coefficient l are varied. The Lyapunov exponent is defined as ln½dðtÞ ; t

For the set of parameters a = 2.55, b = 1.70, X = 3.465 and E = 8.27, X it is found that chaos appears in the system within the range l 2 [1.572, 1.577] [ [1.586, 1.588] [ [1.937, 1.944] [ [1.973, 1.985] [ [1.999, 2.001] [ [3.706, 3.709] as one can observe in the bifurcation diagram and its corresponding Lyapunov exponent shown in Fig. 10.

external excitation E increases from the value E = 0, the system moves from a quasiperiodic states to a period-5 orbit at E = 1.34. That period-5 orbit remains until E = 8.224 where chaos occurs with some sporadic windows of quasiperiodic orbit alternately and this persists until E = 9.302 where only quasiperiodic oscillations continue to be displayed. For E = 9.50, there is a transition from quasiperiodic behavior to a period-8 orbit. The period-8 orbit exist until E = 9.55 where a period-5 orbit occur and lead to a period-4 orbit. At E = 9.86, once also have a transition from period-4 orbit to a small range of chaos with some sporadic windows of quasiperiodic orbit alternately and this continues to be in place until E = 9.96 where a period-3 orbit takes place before leading to a period-1 orbit (harmonic oscillations) at E = 17.056. For another set of parameter a = 0.144, b = 0.05, l = 3.5, X = 3.465, E = 11.40 with two different sets of initial conditions, the model exhibits two particular types of chaotic attractors (see Fig. 13) which are complementary since one of the attractor can evolves toward another one through the phenomenon of degenerescence or symmetry inversion.

In this paper, we have studied the nonlinear dynamics of the biological model. A specific example of brain waves model has been used to establish the equation that governs the MLC-VdPo. Oscillatory states have been derived both in the non-autonomous and autonomous cases, using respectively the averaging and the harmonic balance methods. The phenomenon of birhythmicity has been exhibited by the model in the autonomous regime. In the non-autonomous case, the stability boundaries of the harmonic oscillations have been derived through the Floquet theory and it has been established that the model exhibited Neimark instability. Superharmonic and subharmonic oscillatory states have been

investigated also. Lyapunov exponents and bifurcation diagrams showing transitions from regular to chaotic and from chaotic to regular motions have been drawn. For a particular set of initial conditions, two degenerate chaotic attractors have been obtained. As the MLC-VdPo is concerned, some insights have been given for biological systems. A good comprehension of the dynamics of such a model is of importance. In biochemistry for example, the stable limit cycles correspond to two enzymes oscillatory states. Therefore, to investigate the synchronization of such model is of interest since it possess many applications.
