Complex dynamical behavior and chaos control in fractional-order Lorenz-like systems

In this paper, the complex dynamical behavior of a fractional-order Lorenz-like system with two quadratic terms is investigated. The existence and uniqueness of solutions for this system are proved, and the stabilities of the equilibrium points are analyzed as one of the system parameters changes. The pitchfork bifurcation is discussed for the first time, and the necessary conditions for the commensurate and incommensurate fractional-order systems to remain in chaos are derived. The largest Lyapunov exponents and phase portraits are given to check the existence of chaos. Finally, the sliding mode control law is provided to make the states of the Lorenz-like system asymptotically stable. Numerical simulation results show that the presented approach can effectively guide chaotic trajectories to the unstable equilibrium points.     

Bifurcation and chaos analysis of a nonlinear electromechanical coupling relative rotation system

Hopf bifurcation and chaos of a nonlinear electromechanical coupling relative rotation system are studied in this paper. Considering the energy in air-gap field of AC motor, the dynamical equation of nonlinear electromechanical coupling relative rotation system is deduced by using the dissipation Lagrange equation. Choosing the electromagnetic stiffness as a bifurcation parameter, the necessary and sufficient conditions of Hopf bifurcation are given, and the bifurcation characteristics are studied. The mechanism and conditions of system parameters for chaotic motions are investigated rigorously based on the Silnikov method, and the homoclinic orbit is found by using the undetermined coefficient method. Therefore, Smale horseshoe chaos occurs when electromagnetic stiffness changes. Numerical simulations are also given, which confirm the analytical results.     

Control of Codimension-2 Bautin Bifurcation in Chaotic Lu System

In this paper, we design a feedback controller, and analytically determine a control criterion so as to control the codimension-2 Bautin bifurcation in the chaotic Lfi system. According to the control criterion, we determine a potential Bautin bifurcation region （denoted by P） of the controlled system. This region contains the Bautin bifurcation region （denoted by Q） of the uncontrolled system as its proper subregion. The controlled system can exhibit Bautin bifurcation in P or its proper subregion provided the control gains are properly chosen. Particularly, we can control the appearance of Bautin bifurcation at any appointed point in the region P. Due to the relationship between Bantin bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation, the control scheme thereby is also viable for controlling the creation and stability of the Hopf bifurcation. In the controller, there are two terms： a linear term and a nonlinear cubic term. We show that the former determines the location of the Hopf bifurcation while the latter regulates its criticality. We also carry out numerical studies, and the simulation results confirm our analyticai predictions.     

Intermittency and bifurcation in SEPICs under voltage-mode control

A stroboscopic map for voltage-controlled single ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) with pulse width modulation (PWM) is presented, where low-frequency oscillating phenomena such as quasi-periodic and intermittent quasi-periodic bifurcations occurring in the system are captured by numerical and experimental methods. According to bifurcation diagrams and nonlinear dynamical theory, the characteristics of the low-frequency oscillation and the mechanism for the appearance of the low-frequency oscillation are investigated. It is shown that as the controller parameter varies, the change in the conduction mode takes place from the continuous conduction mode (CCM) under the originally stable period one and high periodic orbits to the intermittent changes between CCM and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), which may be related to the losing stability of the system and brought the system to exhibiting low-frequency oscillating behaviour in the time domain. Moreover, the occurrence of the intermittent quasi-periodic oscillation reflects that the system undergoes a Neimark--Sacker bifurcation.     

Nonlinear dynamics study of an open resonant A-type system

A way resulting in lasing without inversion (LWI) in an open resonant A-type system from a nonlinear dynamics viewpoint is investigated. The destabilization of the non-lasing solution can occur not only through pitchfork bifurcation, giving rise to continuous wave LWI, but also through Hopf bifurcation,giving rise to self-pulsing LWI. This is much different from that of the corresponding closed resonant A-type system in which the destabilization of the non-lasing solution can occur only through pitchfork bifurcation. The effects of the unsaturated gain coefficient, cavity loss coefficient, atomic injection and exit rates on the two bifurcations are discussed.     

Complex dynamics analysis of impulsively coupled Duffing oscillators with ring structure

Impulsively coupled systems are high-dimensional non-smooth systems that can exhibit rich and complex dynamics.This paper studies the complex dynamics of a non-smooth system which is unidirectionally impulsively coupled by three Duffing oscillators in a ring structure.By constructing a proper Poincare map of the non-smooth system,an analytical expression of the Jacobian matrix of Poincare map is given.Two-parameter Hopf bifurcation sets are obtained by combining the shooting method and the Runge-Kutta method.When the period is fixed and the coupling strength changes,the system undergoes stable,periodic,quasi-periodic,and hyper-chaotic solutions,etc.Floquet theory is used to study the stability of the periodic solutions of the system and their bifurcations.     

Multiple solutions and hysteresis in the flows driven by surface with antisymmetric velocity profile

Multiple steady solutions and hysteresis phenomenon in the square cavity flows driven by the surface with antisymmetric velocity profile are investigated by numerical simulation and bifurcation analysis.A high order spectral element method with the matrix-free pseudo-arclength technique is used for the steady-state solution and numerical continuation.The complex flow patterns beyond the symmetry-breaking at Re■320 are presented by a bifurcation diagram for Re 2500.The results of stable symmetric and asymmetric solutions are consistent with those reported in literature,and a new unstable asymmetric branch is obtained besides the stable branches.A novel hysteresis phenomenon is observed in the range of2208 Re 2262,where two pairs of stable and two pairs of unstable asymmetric steady solutions beyond the stable symmetric state coexist.The vortices near the sidewall appear when the Reynolds number increases,which correspond to the bifurcation of topology structure,but not the bifurcation of Navier-Stokes equations.The hysteresis is proposed to be the result of the combined mechanisms of the competition and coalescence of secondary vortices.     

Hybrid control of bifurcation and chaos in stroboscopic model of Internet congestion control system

Interaction between transmission control protocol （TCP） and random early detection （RED） gateway in the Internet congestion control system has been modelled as a discrete-time dynamic system which exhibits complex bifurcating and chaotic behaviours. In this paper, a hybrid control strategy using both state feedback and parameter perturbation is employed to control the bifurcation and stabilize the chaotic orbits embedded in this discrete-time dynamic system of TCP/RED. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that the bifurcation is delayed and the chaotic orbits are stabilized to a fixed point, which reliably achieves a stable average queue size in an extended range of parameters and even completely eliminates the chaotic behaviour in a particular range of parameters. Therefore it is possible to decrease the sensitivity of RED to parameters. By using the hybrid strategy, we may improve the stability and performance of TCP/RED congestion control system significantly.     

Periodic solutions and flip bifurcation in a linear impulsive system

In this paper, the dynamical behaviour of a linear impulsive system is discussed both theoretically and numerically. The existence and the stability of period-one solution are discussed by using a discrete map. The conditions of existence for flip bifurcation are derived by using the centre manifold theorem and bifurcation theorem. The bifurcation analysis shows that chaotic solutions appear via a cascade of period-doubling in some interval of parameters. Moreover, the periodic solutions, the bifurcation diagram, and the chaotic attractor, which show their consistence with the theoretical analyses, are given in an example.     

The dynamical feature of transition of a Hamiltonian system to a dissipative system

The mechanism of generation and annihilation of attractors during transition from a Hamiltonian system to a dissipative system is studied numerically using the dissipative standard map. The transient process related to the formation of attracting basins of periodic attractors is studied by discussing the evolution of the KAM tori of the standard map. The result shows that as damping increases, attractors are mainly generated from elliptic orbits of the Hamiltonian system and annihilated by colliding with unstable periodic orbits originating from the corresponding hyperbolic orbits of the Hamiltonian system. The transient process also exhibits the general feature of bifurcation.     

Coexisting hidden attractors in a 4D segmented disc dynamo with one stable equilibrium or a line equilibrium

This paper introduces a four-dimensional(4D) segmented disc dynamo which possesses coexisting hidden attractors with one stable equilibrium or a line equilibrium when parameters vary. In addition, by choosing an appropriate bifurcation parameter, the paper proves that Hopf bifurcation and pitchfork bifurcation occur in the system. The ultimate bound is also estimated. Some numerical investigations are also exploited to demonstrate and visualize the corresponding theoretical results.

Mean field model for synchronization of coupled two-state units and the effect of memory

A prototypical model for a mean field second order transition is presented, which is based on an ensemble of coupled two-states units. This system is used as a basic model to study the effect of memory. To wit, we distinguish two types of memories: weak and strong, depending on the feasibility of linearizing the generalized mean field master equation. For weak memory we find static solutions that behave much like those of the memoryless (Markovian) system. The latter exhibits a pitchfork bifurcation as the control parameter is increased, with two stable and one unstable solution. The former exhibits an imperfect pitchfork bifurcation to states with the same behaviors. In both cases, the stability of the static solutions is analyzed via the usual linearization around the equilibrium solution. For strong memories we again find an imperfect pitchfork bifurcation, with two stable and one unstable branch. However, it is no longer possible to analyze these behaviors via the usual linearization, which is local in time, because a strong memory requires knowledge of the system for its entire past. Finally, we are pleased to dedicate this publication to Helmut Brand on the occasion of his 60^th birthday.     

Classical Bifurcation Diagrams by Quantum Means

Asymptotic state of an open quantum system may change substantially upon variations of system parameters. These changes can be often identified as bifurcation transitions in the classical mean‐filed equations describing evolution of the relevant observables. We demonstrate that these bifurcations can be made visible as changes in the structure of the asymptotic density matrix of the original quantum system. By using an N‐boson dimer, we present quantum ‘bifurcation diagrams’ for the pitchfork and saddle‐node bifurcations (in the stationary dimer) and visualize a period‐doubling transition to chaos (in a periodically modulated dimer).     

Pitchfork bifurcation and circuit implementation of a novel Chen hyper-chaotic system

In this paper, a novel four dimensional hyper-chaotic system is coined based on the Chen system, which contains two quadratic terms and five system parameters. The proposed system can generate a hyper-chaotic attractor in wide parameters regions. By using the center manifold theorem and the local bifurcation theory, a pitchfork bifurcation is demonstrated to arise at the zero equilibrium point. Numerical analysis demonstrates that the hyper-chaotic system can generate complex dynamical behaviors, e.g., a direct transition from quasi-periodic behavior to hyper-chaotic behavior. Finally, an electronic circuit is designed to implement the hyper-chaotic system, the experimental results are consist with the numerical simulations, which verifies the existence of the hyper-chaotic attractor. Due to the complex dynamic behaviors, this new hyper-chaotic system is useful in the secure communication.

Bursting dynamics in parametrically driven memristive Jerk system

Compared with general nonlinear systems, multi-time scale system has complex bursting dynamics and has received widespread attention. A memristor-based Jerk system with parametric excitation is proposed in this study. As the selected excitation frequency is far less than the natural frequency, implying the existence of an order gap between the excitation frequency and the natural one, the system can be considered as a classic fast-slow system with two timescales. In our system, when the slow-varying parameters periodically pass through the critical pitchfork bifurcation point periodically, a distinct time delay behavior can be observed. Complex bursting oscillations induced by the delayed pitchfork are revealed with different excitation amplitudes. By virtue of the fast-slow analysis method, the corresponding generation mechanisms are discussed by the transformed phase portraits, the time series, and the phase portraits. As the delay time interval induced by the pitchfork bifurcation is dependant not only on the excitation amplitude, but also on the excitation frequency, some excitation frequency related bursting patterns are also considered in our study. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to verify the validity of the study.
