We introduce a transformation from time series to complex networks and then study the relative frequency of different subgraphs within that network. The distribution of subgraphs can be used to distinguish between and to characterize different types of continuous dynamics: periodic, chaotic, and periodic with noise. Moreover, although the general types of dynamics generate networks belonging to the same superfamily of networks, specific dynamical systems generate characteristic dynamics. When ap ...[more]
