Epidemiological Rogue Waves and Chaos-Induced Multifractal Self-Organized Criticality in COVID-19
Author(s): Carlos Pedro Gonçalves*
A rogue wave epidemiological pattern has been identified as a predominant pattern in COVID-19 epidemiological
series with emergent chaotic attractors for different world regions. In the present work, we study People Republic
of China’s daily new number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 from 2020-01-03 to 2023-10-27, which provides
for a long series with a rogue wave pattern, and apply to this series multifractal analysis, smart topological data
analysis and chaos theory, finding that the rogue wave pattern is linked to chaos-induced multifractal self-organized
criticality, the source of the rogue wave is shown to be associated with an emergent three-dimensional chaotic
attractor with a three winged structure, explaining the rogue wave dynamics, the reconstructed attractor is shown
to have exploitable topological information that can be used by adaptive A.I. sys.. View more»
