Chaos analysis for a class of hyperbolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions

Abstract

ABSTRACT A system governed by a one-dimensional hyperbolic equation with a mixing transport term and both ends being general nonlinear boundary conditions is considered in this paper. By using the snap-back repeller theory, we rigorously prove that the system is chaotic in the sense of both Devaney and Li-Yorke when the system parameters satisfy certain conditions. Finally, numerical simulations are further presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
