TOPOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND GLOBAL VECTOR FIELD RECONSTRUCTION OF AN EXPERIMENTAL ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEM

A complete study of a copper electrodissolution experiment is achieved , The asymptotic motion settles down on a strange chaotic attractor wh ich may be embedded in a 3D reconstructed space. In a 2D Poincare sect ion the attractor is found to be topologically equivalent to a 1D map, and its orbit spectrum is governed by the unimodal order. A set of eq uations which suitably model the experiment is extracted by a global v ector field reconstruction method. The attractor obtained by integrati ng the reconstructed system is topologically equivalent to the origina l attractor. It is shown that the reconstructed model represents the d ynamics without taking into account the effect of the dynamical noise on the experiment.
