神经网络时滞系统非共振双Hopf分岔及其广义同步

本文建立了具有自连接和抑制-兴奋型他连接的两个同性神经元模型。其中自连接是由于兴奋型的突触产生，而他连接则分别对应于两神经元兴奋、抑制型的突触。发现如果有兴奋型自连接就会有双Hopf分岔，而没有时滞自连接时双Hopf分岔就会消失，因此自连接引起了双Hopf分岔。作为一个例子，通过变动连接中的时滞和他连接中的比重，1／√2双Hopf分岔得到了详细研究。通过中心流形约化，分岔点邻域内各种不同的动力学行为得到了分类，并以解析形式表出。神经元活动的分岔路径得以表明。从得到的解析近似解可以发现，本文所研究的具有兴奋一抑制型他连接的两相同神经元的节律不能完全同步而只能广义同步。时滞也可以使其节律消失，两神经元变为非活动的。这些结果在控制神经网络关联记忆和设计人工神经网络方面有着潜在的应用。

负反馈诱发神经电振荡的反常现象的复杂动力学

传统观念认为,负反馈容易使系统达到稳定平衡点而正反馈容易引起振荡.本研究基于神经元理论模型,提出了负反馈可以诱发稳定平衡点–也就是静息–变为振荡–也就是放电的新观点.在Hopf分岔点附近,作用在静息上的一次足够大的负向脉冲电流的抑制性刺激,能够引起一个动作电位及随后的衰减振荡的后电位;而能够在后电位上诱发出动作电位的负脉冲电流强度阈值也是衰减振荡的.在模型中,引入具有时滞(τ)的负反馈来模拟抑制性自突触,一个动作电位诱发的负反馈自突触电流会作用到比动作电位延迟τ的后电位上.随时滞增加,能够诱发出放电的负反馈增益强度阈值呈现出具有衰减振荡特点的类似多重相干共振的特性,衰减振荡的周期与电流阈值曲线的周期以及分岔点附近的放电周期相关.另外,负反馈还能诱发出放电与静息共存的复杂行为.本研究的结果不仅揭示了负反馈的新的反常调控作用,还有助于理解在现实神经系统中存在的慢抑制性自突触的潜在功能.

一类三维非线性系统的复杂簇发振荡行为及其机理

由多时间尺度耦合效应引起的簇发振荡行为是非线性动力学研究的重要课题之一.本文针对一类参数激励下的三维非线性电机系统(该系统可以描述两种自激同极发电机系统的动力学行为,两种系统在数学上等效),研究了当参数激励频率远小于系统自然频率时的各种复杂簇发振荡行为及其产生机理.通过快慢分析方法, 将参数激励作为慢变参数,得到了非自治系统对应的广义自治系统及快子系统和慢变量,并给出了快子系统的稳定性和分岔条件以及系统关于典型参数的单参数分岔图.借助转换相图与分岔图的叠加, 分析了对称式delayed subHopf/fold cycle簇发振荡的产生机理及其动力学转迁, 即delayed subHopf/fold cycle簇发振荡、焦点/焦点型对称式叉形分岔滞后簇发振荡和焦点/焦点型叉形分岔滞后簇发振荡.研究结果表明, 系统会出现两种不同的分岔滞后形式, 一种是亚临界Hopf分岔滞后,另一种是叉形分岔滞后,而且控制参数显著影响平衡点的稳定性和分岔滞后区间的宽度.同时初始点的选取则会影响系统动力学行为的对称性.本文的研究进一步加深了对由分岔滞后引起的簇发振荡的认识和理解.      

通过分岔控制改变神经元的兴奋性类型

提出一种通过分岔控制改变神经元兴奋性类型的方法.采用一个基于washout滤波器的动态反馈控制实现对一个二维的Hindmarsh-Rose类的模型神经元的分岔动力学控制.这一模型神经元从静息态到峰放电态跨越一个不变圆上鞍结分岔(saddle-node on invariant circle,SNIC),呈现出第一类兴奋性.在该SNIC分岔前所期望的参数值处产生一个Hopf分岔,然后通过选择适当的控制器参数调节Hopf分岔的临界性.这样,模型神经元就呈现为第二类兴奋性,因此神经元兴奋性就从第一类改变成第二类.在这个控制器中,线性控制增益决定着Hopf分岔的位置,而非线性增益决定着Hopf分岔的临界性.

Study of mixed-mode oscillations in a parametrically excited van der Pol system

This paper investigates the effects of slowly varying parametric excitation on the dynamics of van der Pol system. Periodic bifurcation delay behaviors are exhibited when the parametric excitation slowly passes through Hopf bifurcation value of the controlled van der Pol system. The first bifurcation delay behavior relies on initial conditions, while the bifurcation delay behaviors that follow the first one are immune to initial conditions. These bifurcation delay behaviors result in a hysteresis loop between the spiking attractor and the rest state, which is responsible for the generation of mixed-mode oscillations. Then an approximate calculation for the number of spikes in each cluster of repetitive spiking of mixed-mode oscillations is explored based on bifurcation delay behaviors. Theoretical results agree well with numerical simulations.     

Fractional-order PD control at Hopf bifurcations in a fractional-order congestion control system

In this paper, we address the problem of the bifurcation control of a delayed fractional-order dual model of congestion control algorithms. A fractional-order proportional–derivative (PD) feedback controller is designed to control the bifurcation generated by the delayed fractional-order congestion control model. By choosing the communication delay as the bifurcation parameter, the issues of the stability and bifurcations for the controlled fractional-order model are studied. Applying the stability theorem of fractional-order systems, we obtain some conditions for the stability of the equilibrium and the Hopf bifurcation. Additionally, the critical value of time delay is figured out, where a Hopf bifurcation occurs and a family of oscillations bifurcate from the equilibrium. It is also shown that the onset of the bifurcation can be postponed or advanced by selecting proper control parameters in the fractional-order PD controller. Finally, numerical simulations are given to validate the main results and the effectiveness of the control strategy.

     

Hopf bifurcation and spatio-temporal patterns in?delay-coupled van der Pol oscillators

In this paper, the dynamics of a pair of van der Pol oscillators with delayed velocity coupling is studied by taking the time delay as a bifurcation parameter. We first investigate the stability of the zero equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcations induced by delay, and then study the direction and stability of the Hopf bifurcations. Then by using the symmetric bifurcation theory of delay differential equations combined with representation theory of Lie groups, we investigate the spatio-temporal patterns of Hopf bifurcating periodic oscillations. We find that there are different in-phase and anti-phase patterns as the coupling time delay is increased. The analytical theory is supported by numerical simulations, which show good agreement with the theory.     

Multiple scales and normal forms in a ring of delay coupled oscillators with application to chaotic Hindmarsh–Rose neurons

We study the appearance and stability of spatiotemporal periodic patterns like phase-locked oscillations, mirror-reflecting waves, standing waves, in-phase or antiphase oscillations, and coexistence of multiple patterns, in a ring of bidirectionally delay coupled oscillators. Hopf bifurcation, Hopf–Hopf bifurcation, and the equivariant Hopf bifurcation are studied in the viewpoint of normal forms obtained by using the method of multiple scales which is a kind of perturbation technique, thus a clear bifurcation scenario is depicted. We find time delay significantly affects the dynamics and induces rich spatiotemporal patterns. With the help of the unfolding system near Hopf–Hopf bifurcation, it is confirmed in some regions two kinds of stable oscillations may coexist. These phenomena are shown for the delay coupled limit cycle oscillators as well as for the delay coupled chaotic Hindmarsh–Rose neurons.     

Multiple scales for two-parameter bifurcations in a neutral equation

Van der Pol??s equation with extended delay feedback is investigated as a neutral differential-difference equation. Normal forms near codimension two bifurcations, including Hopf?Cpitchfork and Hopf?CHopf bifurcation, are determined by the method of multiple scales. Through analyzing the associated amplitude equations, we obtain the detailed bifurcation sets and find some interesting phenomena such as quasi-periodic oscillations and strange attractor, which are confirmed by several numerical simulations.     

Multiple bifurcation analysis in a ring of delay coupled oscillators with neutral feedback

Spatiotemporal periodic patterns, including phase-locked oscillations, mirror-reflecting waves, standing waves, in-phase or anti-phase oscillations are investigated in a ring of bidirectionally coupled oscillators with neutral delay feedback. It is confirmed that neutral feedback makes Hopf bifurcation occur in a larger domain of parameters. We calculate the normal forms near Hopf bifurcation, D _N equivariant Hopf bifurcation and double-Hopf bifurcation in this neutral equation by using the method of multiple scales. Theoretically, the appearance of the in-phase, anti-phase and phase-locked oscillations that we observed in the simulation about a ring of delay coupled Hindmarsh–Rose neurons with neutral feedback is explained.     

Criticality of bifurcation in the tuned axial–torsional rotary drilling model

We study the bifurcation characteristics of a lumped-parameter model of rotary drilling with 1:1 internal resonance between the axial and the torsional modes which leads to the largest stability thresholds. For this special case, the two-degree-of-freedom model for the drill-string reduces to an effectively single-degree-of-freedom system facilitating further analysis. The regenerative effect of the cutting action due to the axial vibrations is incorporated through a delayed term in the cutting force with the delay depending on the torsional oscillations. This state dependency of the delay introduces nonlinearity in the current model. Steady drilling loses stability via a Hopf bifurcation, and the nature of the bifurcation is determined by an analytical study using the method of multiple scales. We find that both subcritical and supercritical Hopf bifurcations are present in this system depending on the choice of operating parameters. Hence, the nonlinearity due to the state-dependent delay term could both be stabilizing or destabilizing in nature, and the self-interruption nonlinearity is essential to capture the global behavior. Numerical bifurcation analysis of a global axial–torsional model of rotary drilling further confirms the analytical results from the method of multiple scales. Further exploration of the rotary drilling dynamics unravels more complex phenomena including grazing bifurcations and possibly chaotic solutions.     

Nonlinear dynamics of self-, parametric,and externally excited oscillator with time delay: van der Pol versus Rayleigh models

The regular and chaotic vibrations of a nonlinear structure subjected to self-, parametric, and external excitations acting simultaneously are analysed in this study. Moreover, a time delay input is added to the model to control the system response. The frequency-locking phenomenon and transition to quasi-periodic oscillations via Hopf bifurcation of the second kind (Neimark–Sacker bifurcation) are determined analytically by the multiple time scales method up to the second-order perturbation. Approximate solutions of the quasi-periodic motion are determined by a second application of the multiple time scales method for the slow flow, and then, slow–slow motion is obtained. The similarities and differences between the van der Pol and Rayleigh models are demonstrated for regular, periodic, and quasi-periodic oscillations, as well as for chaotic oscillations. The control of the structural response, and modifications of the resonance curves and bifurcation points by the time delay signal are presented for selected cases.

     

Bifurcation analysis of 4-axle rail vehicle models in a curved track

The dynamics of a diffusive predator–prey model with time delay and Michaelis–Menten-type harvesting subject to Neumann boundary condition is considered. Turing instability and Hopf bifurcation at positive equilibrium for the system without delay are investigated. Time delay-induced instability and Hopf bifurcation are also discussed. By the theory of normal form and center manifold, conditions for determining the bifurcation direction and the stability of bifurcating periodic solution are derived. Some numerical simulations are carried out for illustrating the theoretical results.
