Abstract
The theory of nonlinear dynamieal systems deals with deterministie systems that exhibit a
eomplieated and random-Iooking behavioL Life seienees have been one of the most applieable areas
for the ideas of ehaos beeause of the eomplexity of biologieal systems. it is widely appreeiated that
ehaotie behavior dominates physiologieal systems. However, as an extension of this trend, a new
hypothesis is proposed that the existenee of embedded nonlinear systems suggest a new rationale
fundamentally whieh is different from the classic approaeh. A biologieal system can be eonsidered as
a simple explanation of transitions breaking up generic orbits onto higher dimensions with eovering
maps by preventing ehaos. We seek to diseuss and understand how a biologieal system can deerease
its vulnerability to sensitivity at system transitions what we define those transitions as injeetive
immersions of differentiable smooth manifolds with eaeh eorresponding to a transition to different
state Iike synehronization, anti-synehronization and oseillator-death when network strueture varies
abruptly and asynehronously. We can then eonsider a biologieal system if an existenee of such a
unique immersed smooth submanifoJd into higher dimensional space can be shown that there is no
ehaotie dynamies assoeiated with a map from one manifold to another one when the system is
perturbed. We then will introduee an open problem whether Melnikov funetion is a eontinuously
deereasing funetion for smail perturbations which this distanee funetion serves as a diseriminate
funetion for implieations of the ehaos transitions.
