引き込み現象は何故起こるのか?/解析信号とヒルベルト変換

例として摩擦力が十分に大きい振り子を考える。強制振動の周期に関して離散化したサークルマップでは、固有な巻き数で周期的に回転する。振り子を引っ張る重力の効果が有意であると、真の巻き数が有理数となるような周期に引き込まる。
観測される信号を、複素平面上で時間的に変化する複素信号の実軸上への投影と考え、観測信号から'振幅の変化'と'位相の変化'を抽出する方法をヒルベルト変換を用い紹介。(参考文献:Phase synchronization:from theory to data analysis, Rosenblum et. al.2001)
