Hyperchaotic states in the parameter-space

In this paper we propose a numerical method to characterize hyperchaotic points in the parameter-space of continuous-time dynamical systems. The method considers the second largest Lyapunov exponent value as a measure of hyperchaotic motion, to construct two-dimensional parameter-space color plots. Different levels of hyperchaos in these plots are represented by a continuously changing yellow-red scale. As an example, a particular system modeled by a set of four nonlinear autonomous first-order ordinary differential equations is considered. Practical applications of these plots include, by instance, walking in the parameter-space of hyperchaotic systems along desirable paths.     

The extended Melnikov method for non-autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems and application to multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of a buckled thin plate

The extended Melnikov method, which was used to solve autonomous perturbed Hamiltonian systems, is improved to deal with high-dimensional non-autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems. The multi-pulse Shilnikov type chaotic dynamics of a parametrically and externally excited, simply supported rectangular thin plate is studied by using the extended Melnikov method. A two-degree-of-freedom non-autonomous nonlinear system of the rectangular thin plate is derived by the von Karman type equation and the Galerkin approach. The case of buckling is considered for the rectangular thin plate. The extended Melnikov method is directly applied to the non-autonomous governing equations of motion to investigate multi-pulse Shilnikov type chaotic motions of the buckled rectangular thin plate for the first time. The results obtained here indicate that multi-pulse chaotic motions can occur in the parametrically and externally excited, simply supported buckled rectangular thin plate.     

Multivalued synchronization by Poincaré coupling

This work presents multivalued chaotic synchronization via coupling based on the Poincaré plane. The coupling is carried out by an underdamped signal, triggered every crossing event of the trajectory of the master system through a previously defined Poincaré plane. A master–slave system is explored, and the synchronization between the systems is detected via the auxiliary system approach and the maximum conditional Lyapunov exponent. Due to the response to specific conditions two phenomena may be obtained: univalued and multivalued synchronization. Since the Lyapunov exponent is not enough to detect these two phenomena, the distance between the pieces of trajectories of the slave and auxiliary systems with different initial conditions is also used as a tool for the detection of multivalued synchronization. Computer simulations using the benchmark chaotic systems of Lorenz and Rössler are used to exemplify the approach proposed.

Polytope Lyapunov Functions for Stable and for Stabilizable LSS

We present a new approach for constructing polytope Lyapunov functions for continuous-time linear switching systems (LSS). This allows us to decide the stability of LSS and to compute the Lyapunov exponent with a good precision in relatively high dimensions. The same technique is also extended for stabilizability of positive systems by evaluating a polytope concave Lyapunov function (“antinorm”) in the cone. The method is based on a suitable discretization of the underlying continuous system and provides both a lower and an upper bound for the Lyapunov exponent. The absolute error in the Lyapunov exponent computation is estimated from above and proved to be linear in the dwell time. The practical efficiency of the new method is demonstrated in several examples and in the list of numerical experiments with randomly generated matrices of dimensions up to 10 (for general linear systems) and up to 100 (for positive systems). The development of the method is based on several theoretical results proved in the paper: the existence of monotone invariant norms and antinorms for positively irreducible systems, the equivalence of all contractive norms for stable systems and the linear convergence theorem.     

A chaotic system with only one stable equilibrium

If you are given a simple three-dimensional autonomous quadratic system that has only one stable equilibrium, what would you predict its dynamics to be, stable or periodic? Will it be surprising if you are shown that such a system is actually chaotic? Although chaos theory for three-dimensional autonomous systems has been intensively and extensively studied since the time of Lorenz in the 1960s, and the theory has become quite mature today, it seems that no one would anticipate a possibility of finding a three-dimensional autonomous quadratic chaotic system with only one stable equilibrium. The discovery of the new system, to be reported in this Letter, is indeed striking because for a three-dimensional autonomous quadratic system with a single stable node-focus equilibrium, one typically would anticipate non-chaotic and even asymptotically converging behaviors. Although the equilibrium is changed from an unstable saddle-focus to a stable node-focus, therefore the familiar Ši’lnikov homoclinic criterion is not applicable, it is demonstrated to be chaotic in the sense of having a positive largest Lyapunov exponent, a fractional dimension, a continuous broad frequency spectrum, and a period-doubling route to chaos.     

On existence of homoclinic orbits for some types of autonomous quadratic systems of differential equations

The new existence conditions of homoclinic orbits for the system of ordinary quadratic differential equations are founded. Further, the realization of these conditions together with the Shilnikov Homoclinic Theorem guarantees the existence of a chaotic attractor at 3D autonomous quadratic system. Examples of the chaotic attractors are given.     

Optimal and adaptive control for a kind of 3D chaotic and 4D hyper-chaotic systems

This paper is concerned with the chaos control of two autonomous chaotic and hyper-chaotic systems. First, based on the Pontryagin minimum principle (PMP), an optimal control technique is presented. Next, we proposed Lyapunov stability to control of the autonomous chaotic and hyper-chaotic systems with unknown parameters by a feedback control approach. Matlab bvp4c and ode45 have been used for solving the autonomous chaotic systems and the extreme conditions obtained from the PMP. Numerical simulations on the chaotic and hyper-chaotic systems are illustrated to show the effectiveness of the analytical results.     

A new hyperchaotic system and its circuit implementation

In this paper, a new hyperchaotic system is presented by adding a nonlinear controller to the three-dimensional autonomous chaotic system. The generated hyperchaotic system undergoes hyperchaos, chaos, and some different periodic orbits with control parameters changed. The complex dynamic behaviors are verified by means of Lyapunov exponent spectrum, bifurcation analysis, phase portraits and circuit realization. The Multisim results of the hyperchaotic circuit were well agreed with the simulation results.     

Chaos and chaos synchronization for a non-autonomous rotational machine systems

Chaos and chaos synchronization of the centrifugal flywheel governor system are studied in this paper. By mechanics analyzing, the dynamical equation of the centrifugal flywheel governor system is established. Because of the non-linear terms of the system, the system exhibits both regular and chaotic motions. The characteristic of chaotic attractors of the system is presented by the phase portraits and power spectra. The evolution from Hopf bifurcation to chaos is shown by the bifurcation diagrams and a series of Poincaré sections under different sets of system parameters, and the bifurcation diagrams are verified by the related Lyapunov exponent spectra. This letter addresses control for the chaos synchronization of feedback control laws in two coupled non-autonomous chaotic systems with three different coupling terms, which is demonstrated and verified by Lyapunov exponent spectra and phase portraits. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.     

Design of $n$-dimensional multi-scroll Jerk chaotic system and its performances

Based on three-order Jerk and high-order Jerk chaotic systems, a general approach is proposed to generate $n$-dimensional multi-scroll Jerk chaotic attractors via nonlinear control. Dynamics of the $n$-dimensional multi-scroll Jerk chaotic systems are analyzed by means of the largest Lyapunov exponent and multi-scale permutation entropy complexity. As an experimental verification, four-dimensional Jerk chaotic attractors are implemented by analog circuits. Results of the numerical simulation are consistent with that of the hardware experiments. It shows that the method of obtaining complex Jerk chaotic attractors is effective.

Chaos in a nonautonomous eco-epidemiological model with delay

In this paper, we propose and analyze a nonautonomous predator-prey model with disease in prey, and a discrete time delay for the incubation period in disease transmission. Employing the theory of differential inequalities, we find sufficient conditions for the permanence of the system. Further, we use Lyapunov’s functional method to obtain sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of the system. We observe that the permanence of the system is unaffected due to presence of incubation delay. However, incubation delay affects the global stability of the positive periodic solution of the system. To reinforce the analytical results and to get more insight into the system’s behavior, we perform some numerical simulations of the autonomous and nonautonomous systems with and without time delay. We observe that for the gradual increase in the magnitude of incubation delay, the autonomous system develops limit cycle oscillation through a Hopf-bifurcation while the corresponding nonautonomous system shows chaotic dynamics through quasi-periodic oscillations. We apply basic tools of non-linear dynamics such as Poincaré section and maximum Lyapunov exponent to confirm the chaotic behavior of the system.

Strong properties of global stability and asymptotic synchronization can be achieved. The proposed approach offers a systematic design procedure for adaptive synchronization of a large class of continuous-time chaotic systems in the chaos research literature. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the approach.     

Implementation of chaotic secure communication systems based on OPA circuits

In this paper, we proposed a novel three-order autonomous circuit to construct a chaotic circuit with double scroll characteristic. The design idea is to use RLC elements and a nonlinear resistor. The one of salient features of the chaotic circuit is that the circuit with two flexible breakpoints of nonlinear element, and the advantage of the flexible breakpoint is that it increased complexity of the dynamical performance. Here, if we take a large and suitable breakpoint value, then the chaotic state can masking a large input signal in the circuit. Furthermore, we proposed a secure communication hyperchaotic system based on the proposed chaotic circuits, where the chaotic communication system is constituted by a chaotic transmitter and a chaotic receiver. To achieve the synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver, we are using a suitable Lyapunov function and Lyapunov theorem to design the feedback control gain. Thus, the transmitting message masked by chaotic state in the transmitter can be guaranteed to perfectly recover in the receiver. To achieve the systems performance, some basic components containing OPA, resistor and capacitor elements are used to implement the proposed communication scheme. From the viewpoints of circuit implementation, this proposed chaotic circuit is superior to the Chua chaotic circuits. Finally, the test results containing simulation and the circuit measurement are shown to demonstrate that the proposed method is correct and feasible.     

Stability and chaos control of regularized Prabhakar fractional dynamical systems without and with delay

In this paper, we studied the stabilization of nonlinear regularized Prabhakar fractional dynamical systems without and with time delay. We establish a Lyapunov stabiliy theorem for these systems and study the asymptotic stability of these systems without design a positive definite function V (without considering the fractional derivative of function V is negative). We design a linear feedback controller to control and stabilize the nonautonomous and autonomous chaotic regularized Prabhakar fractional dynamical systems without and with time delay. By means of the Lyapunov stability, we obtain the control parameters for these type of systems. We further present a numerical method to solve and analyze regularized Prabhakar fractional systems. Furthermore, by employing numerical simulation, we reveal chaotic attractors and asymptotic stability behaviors for four systems to illustrate the presented theorem.     

The evolution of a novel four-dimensional autonomous system: Among 3-torus, limit cycle, 2-torus, chaos and hyperchaos

In this paper, a novel four-dimensional autonomous system in which each equation contains a quadratic cross-product term is constructed. It exhibits extremely rich dynamical behaviors, including 3-tori (triple tori), 2-tori (quasi-periodic), limit cycles (periodic), chaotic and hyperchaotic attractors. In particular, we observe 3-torus phenomena, which have been rarely reported in four-dimensional autonomous systems in previous work. With the parameter r varying in quite a wide range, the evolution process of the system begins from 3-tori, and after going through a series of periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic attractors in so many different shapes coming into being alternately, it evolves into hyperchaos, finally it degenerates to periodic attractor. Moreover, when the system is hyperchaotic, its two positive Lyapunov exponents are much larger than those of the hyperchaotic systems already reported, especially the largest Lyapunov exponents. We also observe a chaotic attractor of a very special shape. The complex dynamical behaviors of the system are further investigated by means of Lyapunov exponents spectrum, bifurcation diagram and phase portraits.     

Simple polynomial classes of chaotic jerky dynamics

Third-order explicit autonomous differential equations, commonly called jerky dynamics, constitute a powerful approach to understand the properties of functionally very simple but nonlinear three-dimensional dynamical systems that can exhibit chaotic long-time behavior. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics that can be generated by the two simplest polynomial jerky dynamics that, up to these days, are known to show chaotic behavior in some parameter range. After deriving several analytical properties of these systems, we systematically determine the dependence of the long-time dynamical behavior on the system parameters by numerical evaluation of Lyapunov spectra. Some features of the systems that are related to the dependence on initial conditions are also addressed. The observed dynamical complexity of the two systems is discussed in connection with the existence of homoclinic orbits.
