Approximate inversion method for time‐fractional subdiffusion equations

The finite‐difference method applied to the time‐fractional subdiffusion equation usually leads to a large‐scale linear system with a block lower triangular Toeplitz coefficient matrix. The approximate inversion method is employed to solve this system. A sufficient condition is proved to guarantee the high accuracy of the approximate inversion method for solving the block lower triangular Toeplitz systems, which are easy to verify in practice and have a wide range of applications. The applications of this sufficient condition to several existing finite‐difference schemes are investigated. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the validity of theoretical results.     

Asymptotic stability of neutral differential systems with many delays

We are concerned with delay-independent asymptotic stability of linear system of neutral differential equations. We first establish a sufficient and necessary condition for the system to be delay-independently asymptotically stable, and then give some equivalent stability conditions. This paper improves many recent results on the asymptotic stability in the literature. One example is given to show that the sufficient and necessary condition is easy to verify.

Input-to-state stability of impulsive systems and their networks

This paper considers input-to-state stability (ISS) characterization for a class of impulsive systems which jump map depends on time. We provide sufficient conditions in terms of exponential ISS-Lyapunov functions equipped with an appropriate dwell-time condition for establishing ISS property. Some modifications of dwell times which are more conservative, but easy to be verified are being introduced. We also show that impulsive system with multiple jump maps can naturally represent an interconnection of several impulsive systems with different impulse time sequences. Then we present a procedure to verify ISS of such networks.     

Synchronization of a four-dimensional energy resource system via linear control

Synchronization of a four-dimensional energy resource system is investigated. Four linear control schemes are proposed to synchronize energy resource chaotic system via the back-stepping method. We use simpler controllers to realize a global asymptotical synchronization. In the first three schemes, the sufficient conditions for achieving synchronization of two identical energy resource systems using linear feedback control are derived by using Lyapunov stability theorem. In the fourth scheme, the synchronization condition is obtained by numerical method, in which only one state variable controller is contained. Finally, four numerical simulation examples are performed to verify these results.     

Chaos synchronization of an energy resource system based on linear control

Synchronization of an energy resource system is investigated. Three linear control schemes are proposed to synchronize a chaotic energy resource system via the back-stepping method. This can be viewed as an improvement to the existing results of Tian et al. (2006) [14]. Because we use simpler controllers to realize a global asymptotical synchronization. In the first two schemes, the sufficient conditions for achieving synchronization of two identical energy resource systems using linear feedback control are derived by using Lyapunov stability theorem. In the third scheme, the synchronization condition is obtained by numerical method, in which only one state variable controller is contained. Finally, three numerical simulation examples are performed to verify these results.     

Restoration of efficiency in a goal programming problem with linear fractional criteria

The problem resulting from a goal programming problem with linear fractional criteria is not easy to solve due to the non-linear constraints inherent in its formulation. This paper introduces a simple and reliable test to establish whether a linear fractional goal programming problem has solutions that verify all goals and, if so, how to find them by solving a linear programming problem. This paper also outlines a new technique for restoring efficiency based on a minimax philosophy. An example is presented.     

Simplified method and synchronization for a class of complex chaotic systems

This paper is devoted to investigate a class of complex chaotic systems and a linear correlation between the real and imaginary component of complex variables in these systems is found. Based on this linear relationship, a simplified law is proposed. First, complex Lorenz system is given to show the linear correlation, then it is simplified. Second, a simplified law is proposed to determine whether the complex system can be simplified, and the complex Lü system and hyperchaotic complex Lü system are used to verify the simplified law. Finally, a new synchronization control is proposed to synchronize complex Lorenz system and real Lorenz system. The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation prove the feasibility and better performance of this method.     

Adaptive projective synchronization for a class of switched chaotic systems

This paper addresses the problem of projective synchronization of chaotic systems and switched chaotic systems by adaptive control methods. First, a necessary and sufficient condition is proposed to show how many state variables can realize projective synchronization under a linear feedback controller for the chaotic systems. Then, accordingly, a new algorithm is given to select all state variables that can realize projective synchronization. Furthermore, according to the results of the projective synchronization of chaotic systems, the problem of projective synchronization of the switched chaotic systems comprised by the unified chaotic systems is investigated, and an adaptive global linear feedback controller with only one input channel is designed, which can realize the projective synchronization under the arbitrary switching law. It is worth mentioning that the proposed method can also realize complete synchronization of the switched chaotic systems. Finally, the numerical simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Sur les identités polynomiales vérifiées par les algèbres de rétrocroisement

We study the ideal of polynomial identities of a single indeterminate satisfied by all backcrossing algebras. For this we distinguish two categories according to whether or not these algebras satisfy an identity for the plenary powers. For each category, we give the generators for the vector space of identities, a condition for any object belonging to one of these two categories verify a given identity, a necessary and su?cient condition that a polynomial is an identity and we study the existence of an idempotent element. We give a method which brings the search of identities satified by the backcrossing algebras to the solution of linear systems and we illustrate this method by constructing generators of homogeneous and non homogeneous identities of degrees less than 8.     

Suboptimal control of systems with multiple delays

The application of Pontryagin's maximum principle to the optimization of linear systems with time delays results in a system of coupled two-point boundary-value problems involving both delay and advance terms. The exact solution of this system of TPBV problems is extremely difficult, if not impossible. In this paper, a fast-converging iterative approach is developed for obtaining the suboptimal control for nonstationary linear systems with multiple state and control delays and with quadratic cost. At each step of the proposed method, a linear nondelay system with an extra perturbing input must be optimized. The procedure can be extended for the optimization of nonlinear systems with multiple time-varying delays, provided that some of the nonlinearities satisfy the Lipschitz condition.     

On the robustness of linear stabilizing feedback control for linear uncertain systems

We investigate linear time-invariant scalar-input systems with constant uncertainties that are not required to satisfy matching conditions. In a previous paper, the existence of stabilizing discontinuous controllers is established under three assumptions for such systems. The first assumption requires controllability of the system for each uncertainty. The second is a condition on an uncertain Lyapunov equation, and the third is a boundedness condition related to the controllability matrix. In this paper, using the same assumptions, we show the existence of a linear stabilizing control. Our result is related to the high-gain theorem of classical control.     

Control of a novel fractional hyperchaotic system using a located control method

Fractional order dynamics and chaotics systems have been recently combined, yielding interesting behaviours. In this paper, a novel integer order hyperchaotic system is considered. Then, a fractional order hyperchaotic representation of said system is proposed using a natural fractionalization. Two different linear control methodologies to deal with the complexity which introduce such systems are proposed. Those methods are able to modify the hyperchaotic behaviour of the system and force it to move towards a fixed point; i.e. steady state. These approaches give a general framework for taming such complex systems using simple linear controllers. The main tools for analysing the controlled system are Matignon stability criterion and RouthHurwitz test. Using a reliable numerical simulation, the designed system is simulated to verify the theoretical analysis.     

Synchronization analysis for complex networks with coupling delay based on T–S fuzzy theory

In this paper, synchronization problems for a general complex networks are investigated by Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy theory. A novel concept named linear approximation method is firstly proposed to solve the synchronization problems for T–S fuzzy complex networks. This novel method can linearize the system into some time-delay subsystems, which can effectively simplify the complicated system and then be easy to acquire the synchronization results. Since the expression based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) is used, the synchronization criteria can be easily checked in practice. Numerical simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method.     

A condition for diagonalization modulo arbitrary norm ideals

We give a spectral condition which is sufficient for the simultaneous diagonalization of a commuting tuple of self-adjoint operators modulo a given norm ideal. For diagonalization modulo certain norm ideals this condition is also necessary, while for other norm ideals this condition seems to be close to being necessary. Moreover, this condition is easy to verify in applications.

Synchronization of a class of fractional-order chaotic systems via a scalar transmitted signal

In this paper, a drive-response synchronization method with linear output error feedback is presented for synchronizing a class of fractional-order chaotic systems via a scalar transmitted signal. Based on stability theory of fractional-order systems and linear system theory, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the feedback gain vector such that global synchronization between the fractional-order drive system and response system can be achieved and its design method are given. This synchronization approach that is simple, global and theoretically rigorous enables synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems be achieved in a systematic way and does not require the computation of the conditional Lyapunov exponents. An example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method.     

Quasilinear elliptic system with coupling on nonhomogeneous critical term

We study the existence of multiple solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system of gradient type with the possibility of coupling on the critical and subcritical terms which are not necessarily homogeneous. The solutions are obtained from a version of the Symmetric Mountain Pass Theorem. A version of the Concentration-Compactness Principle for this class of systems allows us to verify that the Palais–Smale condition is satisfied below a certain level.     

Adaptive event-triggered dynamic distributed control of switched positive systems with switching faults

This paper designs the dynamic output-feedback controller of switched positive systems subject to switching faults using an improved adaptive event-triggering mechanism. An adaptive event-triggering condition is addressed in the form of 1-norm by virtue of the measurable outputs of distributed sensors and the corresponding error. An error-based closed-loop control system whose dynamic variable relies on a state observer is obtained. A multiple copositive Lyapunov function is constructed to deal with the positivity and stability of the systems. The matrix decomposition and linear programming approaches are used to design and compute the controller and observer gains. An improved average dwell time scheme is proposed to handle the switching faults. The contributions of this paper lie in that: (i) An adaptive event-triggering mechanism is established for switched positive systems, (ii) A framework on the fault of switching signal is constructed, and (iii) A dynamic distributed controller is proposed for the considered systems. Finally, two illustrative examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the obtained results.     

Dynamical analysis and numerical simulation of a new Lorenz-type chaotic system

In this paper, a new 3D autonomous Lorenz-type chaotic system is modelled based on the condition that the system may generate chaos whereas it has only stable or non-hyperbolic equilibrium points. This system also includes some well-known Lorenz-like systems as its special cases, such as the diffusionless Lorenz system, the Burke-Shaw system and some other systems found. Although the new chaotic system is similar to other Lorenz-type systems in algebraic structure, they are topologically non-equivalent. This interesting fact motivates one to further investigate its dynamical behaviours, such as the number and the stability of equilibrium points, Hopf bifurcation and its direction, Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents and dissipativity, etc. Given numerical simulations not only verify the corresponding theoretically analytical results, but also demonstrate that this system possesses abundant and complex dynamical properties, which need further attention.
