Bifurcation analysis and chaos control of the modified Chua’s circuit system

From the view of bifurcation and chaos control, the dynamics of modified Chua’s circuit system are investigated by a delayed feedback method. Firstly, the local stability of the equilibria is discussed by analyzing the distribution of the roots of associated characteristic equation. The regions of linear stability of equilibria are given. It is found that there exist Hopf bifurcation and Hopf-zero bifurcation when the delay passes though a sequence of critical values. By using the normal form method and the center manifold theory, we derive the explicit formulas for determining the direction and stability of Hopf bifurcation. Finally, chaotic oscillation is converted into a stable equilibrium or a stable periodic orbit by designing appropriate feedback strength and delay. Some numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytic results.     

Impulsive perturbations in a predator–prey model with dormancy of predators

In this paper, a predator–prey model consisting of active and dormant states of predators with impulsive control strategy is established. Using Floquet theories, the small amplitude perturbation technique and the piecewise Lyapunov function method, the conditions of local and global asymptotical orbital stability of the prey-eradication periodic solution are obtained. The boundness and permanence of the impulsive system are proved by the comparison principle. Through numerical simulations, the effects of the impulsive perturbation on the inherent oscillation are investigated, which implies that the impulsive perturbation can lead to period-doubling bifurcation, chaos, and period-halving bifurcation. Moreover, the effects of the impulsive perturbation and hatching rate on the chaos of the system are comparatively studied by numerical simulation. These obtained results can be useful for ecosystem management and for explaining complex phenomena of ecosystems.     

Hopf bifurcation in REM algorithm with communication delay

The purpose of this paper is to study bifurcation of an Internet congestion control algorithm, namely REM (Random Exponential Marking) algorithm, with communication delay. By choosing the delay constant as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that REM algorithm exhibits Hopf bifurcation. The formulas for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are obtained by applying the center manifold theorem and the normal form theory. Finally, a numerical simulation is present to verify the theoretical results.     

Numerical simulation of the transition to chaos in a dissipative Duffing oscillator with two-frequency excitation

A mathematical modeling technique is proposed for oscillation chaotization in an essentially nonlinear dissipative Duffing oscillator with two-frequency excitation on an invariant torus in ?². The technique is based on the joint application of the parameter continuation method, Floquet stability criteria, bifurcation theory, and the Everhart high-accuracy numerical integration method. This approach is used for the numerical construction of subharmonic solutions in the case when the oscillator passes to chaos through a sequence of period-multiplying bifurcations. The value of a universal constant obtained earlier by the author while investigating oscillation chaotization in dissipative oscillators with single-frequency periodic excitation is confirmed.     

Establishment of non-negative constraint method as a robust and efficient first-order reliability method

In structural reliability analysis, computation of reliability index or probability of failure is the main purpose. The Hasofer–Lind and Rackwitz–Fiessler (HL-RF) method is a widely used method in the category of first-order reliability methods (FORM). However, this method cannot be trusted for highly nonlinear limit state functions. Two proposed methods of this paper replace the original real valued constraint of FORM with a non-negative constraint, in all steps and during the whole procedure. First, the non-negative constraint is directly used to construct a non-negative Lagrange function and a search direction vector. Then, the first- and second-order Taylor approximation of the non-negative constraint are employed to compute step sizes of the first and second proposed methods, respectively. Contribution of the non-negative constraint and the effective approach of determining step sizes have led to the efficient computation of reliability index in nonlinear problems. The robustness and efficiency of two proposed methods are shown in various mathematical and structural examples of the literature.     

Chaos synchronization of resistively coupled Duffing systems: Numerical and experimental investigations

This paper studies chaos synchronization dynamics of two resistively coupled Duffing systems, through numerical and experimental investigations. Various bifurcation structures are derived and it is found that chaos appear suddenly, through period doubling cascades. The experimental study of these systems is carried out with appropriate software electronic circuit, proposed using the BSIMV3.3 parameters for the investigation of the dynamical behavior. The appropriate coupled coefficient for chaos synchronization is found using numerical and experimental simulations. The reliability of the analytical formulas is approved by the good agreement with the results obtained by both numerical and experiment simulations.

Fourier expansion based recursive algorithms for periodic Riccati and Lyapunov matrix differential equations

Combining Fourier series expansion with recursive matrix formulas, new reliable algorithms to compute the periodic, non-negative, definite stabilizing solutions of the periodic Riccati and Lyapunov matrix differential equations are proposed in this paper. First, periodic coefficients are expanded in terms of Fourier series to solve the time-varying periodic Riccati differential equation, and the state transition matrix of the associated Hamiltonian system is evaluated precisely with sine and cosine series. By introducing the Riccati transformation method, recursive matrix formulas are derived to solve the periodic Riccati differential equation, which is composed of four blocks of the state transition matrix. Second, two numerical sub-methods for solving Lyapunov differential equations with time-varying periodic coefficients are proposed, both based on Fourier series expansion and the recursive matrix formulas. The former algorithm is a dimension expanding method, and the latter one uses the solutions of the homogeneous periodic Riccati differential equations. Finally, the efficiency and reliability of the proposed algorithms are demonstrated by four numerical examples.     

Bifurcations and synchronization of the fractional-order simplified Lorenz hyperchaotic systems

In this paper, dynamics of the fractional-order simplied Lorenz hyperchaotic system is investigated. Modied Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method is applied for numerical simulation. Chaotic regions and periodic windows are identied. Dierent types of motions are shown along the routes to chaos by means of phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, and the largest Lyapunov exponent. The lowest fractional order to generate chaos is 3.8584. Synchronization between two fractional-order simplied Lorenz hyperchaotic systems is achieved by using active control method. The synchronization performances are studied by changing the fractional order, eigenvalues and eigenvalue standard deviation of the error system.     

A fast numerical algorithm for the integration of rational functions

A new iterative method for high-precision numerical integration of rational functions on the real line is presented. The algorithm transforms the rational integrand into a new rational function preserving the integral on the line. The coefficients of the new function are explicit polynomials in the original ones. These transformations depend on the degree of the input and the desired order of the method. Both parameters are arbitrary. The formulas can be precomputed. Iteration yields an approximation of the desired integral with mth order convergence. Examples illustrating the automatic generation of these formulas and the numerical behaviour of this method are given.     

Numerical Continuation of Hamiltonian Relative Periodic Orbits

The bifurcation theory and numerics of periodic orbits of general dynamical systems is well developed, and in recent years, there has been rapid progress in the development of a bifurcation theory for dynamical systems with structure, such as symmetry or symplecticity. But as yet, there are few results on the numerical computation of those bifurcations. The methods we present in this paper are a first step toward a systematic numerical analysis of generic bifurcations of Hamiltonian symmetric periodic orbits and relative periodic orbits (RPOs). First, we show how to numerically exploit spatio-temporal symmetries of Hamiltonian periodic orbits. Then we describe a general method for the numerical computation of RPOs persisting from periodic orbits in a symmetry breaking bifurcation. Finally, we present an algorithm for the numerical continuation of non-degenerate Hamiltonian relative periodic orbits with regular drift-momentum pair. Our path following algorithm is based on a multiple shooting algorithm for the numerical computation of periodic orbits via an adaptive Poincaré section and a tangential continuation method with implicit reparametrization. We apply our methods to continue the famous figure eight choreography of the three-body system. We find a relative period doubling bifurcation of the planar rotating eight family and compute the rotating choreographies bifurcating from it.

Coupling finite difference methods and integral formulas for elliptic problems arising in fluid mechanics

This article is devoted to the numerical analysis of two classes of iterative methods that combine integral formulas with finite‐difference Poisson solvers for the solution of elliptic problems. The first method is in the spirit of the Schwarz domain decomposition method for exterior domains. The second one is motivated by potential calculations in free boundary problems and can be viewed as a numerical analytic continuation algorithm. Numerical tests are presented that confirm the convergence properties predicted by numerical analysis. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 20: 199–229, 2004

The system is affected by impulse which can be considered as a control. Conditions for the permanence of the system are obtained. The numerical analysis is carried out to study the effects of perturbation varying parameters of the system.

Multiple bifurcation trees of period-1 motions to chaos in a periodically forced,time-delayed,hardening Duffing oscillator

In this paper, bifurcation trees of periodic motions in a periodically forced, time-delayed, hardening Duffing oscillator are analytically predicted by a semi-analytical method. Such a semi-analytical method is based on the differential equation discretization of the time-delayed, nonlinear dynamical system. Bifurcation trees for the stable and unstable solutions of periodic motions to chaos in such a time-delayed, Duffing oscillator are achieved analytically. From the finite discrete Fourier series, harmonic frequency-amplitude curves for stable and unstable solutions of period-1 to period-4 motions are developed for a better understanding of quantity levels, singularity and catastrophes of harmonic amplitudes in the frequency domain. From the analytical prediction, numerical results of periodic motions in the time-delayed, hardening Duffing oscillator are completed. Through the numerical illustrations, the complexity and asymmetry of period-1 motions to chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems are strongly dependent on the distributions and quantity levels of harmonic amplitudes. With the quantity level increases of specific harmonic amplitudes, effects of the corresponding harmonics on the periodic motions become strong, and the certain complexity and asymmetry of periodic motion and chaos can be identified through harmonic amplitudes with higher quantity levels.

The genesis of period-adding bursting without bursting-chaos in the Chay model

According to the period-adding firing patterns without chaos observed in neuronal experiments, the genesis of the period-adding “fold/homoclinic” bursting sequence without bursting-chaos is explored by numerical simulation, fast/slow dynamics and bifurcation analysis of limit cycle in the neuronal Chay model. It is found that each periodic bursting, from period-1 to period-7, is separately generated by the corresponding periodic spiking pattern through two period-doubling bifurcations, except for the period-1 bursting occurring via a Hopf bifurcation. Consequently, it can be revealed that this period-adding bursting bifurcation without chaos has a compound bifurcation structure with transitions from spiking to bursting, which is closely related to period-doubling bifurcations of periodic spiking in essence.
