Can We Obtain a Fractional Lorenz System from a Physical Problem？

A new fractional-order Lorenz system is obtained from the convection of fractional Maxwell fluids in a circular loop. This is the first fractional-order dynamical system derived from an actual physical problem, and rich dynamical properties are observed. In the case of short fluid relaxation time, with the decreasing effective dimension ∑, we find a critical value of the effective dimension ∑cr1, at which the solution of the system undergoes a transition from the chaotic motion to the periodic motion and another critical value ∑cr2（∑cr2 〈∑cr1） at which the regular dynamics of the system returns to the chaotic one. In the case of long relaxation time, the phenomenon of overstability is observed and the decrease of ∑ is found to delay the onset of it.     

Chaotic Dynamics in a Sine Square Map： High-Dimensional Case （N ≥ 3）

We study an N-dimensional system based on a sine square map and analyze the system behaviors of cases of dimension N ≥ 3 with the tools of nonlinear dynamics. In the three-dimensional case, bifurcations in the parameter plane, invariant manifolds, critical manifolds and chaotic attractors are studied. Then we extend this study to the cases of higher dimension （N 〉 3） to understand generalized properties of the system. The analysis and experimental results of the system demonstrate the existence of bounded chaotic orbits, which can be considered for secure transmissions.     

Generation of on-off intermittency based on RSssler chaotic system

In this paper, one-state on-off intermittency and two-state on-off intermittency are generated in two five- dimensional continuum systems respectively. In each system, a two-dimensional subsystem is driven by the Rossler chaotic system. The parameter conditions under which the on-off intermittency occurs are discussed in detail. The statistical property of the intermittency is investigated. It is shown that the distribution of the laminar phase duration time follows a power law with an exponent of -3/2, which is a signature of on-off intermittency. Moreover, the phenomenon of intermingled basins is observed when attractors in the two symmetric invariant subspaces are stable. We provide an effective way to generate on-off intermittency based on a chaotic system, which is important for application and theoretical study.     

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.     

Robust fuzzy control for chaotic dynamics in Lorenz systems with uncertainties

This paper deals with the robust fuzzy control for chaotic systems in the presence of parametric uncertainties. An uncertain Takagi--Sugeno fuzzy model for a Lorenz chaotic system is first constructed. Then a robust fuzzy state feedback control scheme ensures the control for stable operations under bounded parametric uncertainties. For a chaotic system with known uncertainty bounds, a robust fuzzy regulator is designed by choosing the control parameters satisfying the linear matrix inequality. To verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed controller design method, an analysis technique is suggested and applied to the control of an uncertain Lorenz chaotic system.     

Steady-state relation of a two-level system strongly coupled to a many-body quantum chaotic environment

We study the long-time average of the reduced density matrix(RDM) of a two-level system as the central system, which is locally coupled to a many-body quantum chaotic system as the environment,under an overall Schr?dinger evolution. A phenomenological relation among elements of the RDM is proposed for a dissipative interaction in the strong coupling regime and is tested numerically with the environment as a defect Ising chain, as well as a mixed-field Ising chain.     

Study of the Wada fractal boundary and indeterminate crisis

By using the generalized cell mapping digraph (GCMD)method,we study bifurcations governing the escape of periodically forced oscillators in a potential well,in which a chaotic saddle plays an extremely important role.Int this paper,we find the chaotic saddle,and we demonstrate that the chaotic saddle is embedded in a strange fractal boundary which has the Wada property,that any point on the boundary of that basin is also simultaneously on the boundary of at least two other basins.The chaotic saddle in the Wada fractal boundary,by colliding with a chaotic attractor,leads to a chaotic boundary crisis with a global indeterminate outcome which presents an extreme form of indeterminacy in a dynamical system.We also investigate the origin and evolution of the chaotic saddle in the Wada fractal boundary particularly concentrating on its discontinuous bifurcations(metamorphoses),We demonstrate that the chaotic saddle in the Wada fractal boundary is created by the collision between two chaotic saddles in different fractal boundaries.After a final escape bifurcation,there only exists the attractor at infinity;a chaotic saddle with a beautiful pattern is left behind in phase space.     

Heteroclinic Orbit Existence on a Type of Chaotic System with Delays

In this paper, we discuss a type of chaotic system with delays. We study the equilibrium points and the existence of heteroclinic orbit of the system. Heteroclinic orbit existence theorem is proposed and proved by applying the undetermined coefficient method, which shows the complex dynamical properties of this system.     

Analysing chaos in fractional-order systems with the harmonic balance method

In this paper, the fractional-order Genesio--Tesi system showing chaotic behaviours is introduced, and the corresponding one in an integer-order form is studied intensively. Based on the harmonic balance principle, which is widely used in the frequency analysis of nonlinear control systems, a theoretical approach is used to investigate the conditions of system parameters under which this fractional-order system can give rise to a chaotic attractor. Finally, the numerical simulation is used to verify the validity of the theoretical results.
