Abstract

Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is used to study dynamical systems and to identify the underlying physics when a system exhibits a transition due to changes in some control parameter. The tendency of reoccurrence of different states after certain interval reflects and reveals the hidden patterns of a complex time series data. The present work involves the study of the floating potential fluctuations of a glow discharge plasma obtained by using a Langmuir probe. Determinism, entropy and Lmax are important measures of RQA that show an increasing and decreasing trend with variation in the values of discharge voltages and indicate an order-chaos transition in the dynamics of the fluctuations. Statistical analysis techniques represented by skewness and kurtosis are also supportive of a similar phenomenon occurring in the system.
