Nonlinear Time Series: Computations and Applications

In this special issue, the first paper by Li 24 gives a tutorial of fractal time series from the point of view of systems of fractional order. The second by Liu 25 provides a review of chaotic time series. The third by Cattani 26 reveals the fractal shapes and the symmetries of DNA from a view of fractal time series. The fourth one by Mattioli et al. 27 studies largeamplitude pulses with the FitzHugh-Nagumo model to exhibit the sensitivity to local jumps and some unexpected inertia of neurons as response to the high-amplitude spike. The fifth paper by Bakhoum and Toma 28 investigates the dynamics of macroscopic and quantum transitions. The paper by Toma 29 presents a method to synthesize pulse series based on nonlinear differential equations. Abuzeid et al. 30 contributes a paper for constructing a continuous hereditary creep model for the thermoviscoelastic contact of a rough punch and a smooth surface of a rigid half-space. The paper by Zhao et al. 31 discusses the detrended fluctuation analysis method to detect the long-range correlation and scaling properties of daily precipitation series of Beijing from 1973 to 2004 before and after adding diverse trends to the original series.
