Consensus of compound-order multi-agent systems with communication delays

In complex environments, many distributed networked systems can only be illustrated with fractional-order dynamics. When multi-agent systems show individual diversity with difference agents, heterogeneous (integer-order and fractional-order) dynamics are used to illustrate the agent systems and compose integerfractional compounded-order systems. Applying Laplace transform and frequency domain theory of the fractional-order operator, the consensus of delayed multi-agent systems with directed weighted topologies is studied. Since an integer-order model is the special case of a fractional-order model, the results in this paper can be extended to systems with integer-order models. Finally, numerical examples are used to verify our results.     

Multiswitching compound–compound synchronisation of six chaotic systems

In this paper, multiswitching combination synchronisation (MSCS) scheme has been investigated in a class of three non-identical fractional-order chaotic systems. The fractional-order Lorenz and Chen systems are taken as the drive systems. The combination of multidrive systems is then synchronised with the fractional-order Lü chaotic system. In MSCS, the state variables of the two drive systems synchronise with different state variables of the response system, simultaneously. Based on the stability of fractional-order chaotic systems, the MSCS of three fractional-order non-identical systems has been investigated. For the synchronisation of three non-identical fractional-order chaotic systems, suitable controllers have been designed. Theoretical analysis and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the applied method.     

Classical Systems, Standard Quantum Systems, and Mixed Quantum Systems in Hilbert Space

Traditionally, there has been a clear distinction between classical systems and quantum systems, particularly in the mathematical theories used to describe them. In our recent work on macroscopic quantum systems, this distinction has become blurred, making a unified mathematical formulation desirable, so as to show up both the similarities and the fundamental differences between quantum and classical systems. This paper serves this purpose, with explicit formulations and a number of examples in the form of superconducting circuit systems. We introduce three classes of physical systems with finite degrees of freedom: classical, standard quantum, and mixed quantum, and present a unified Hilbert space treatment of all three types of system. We consider the classical/quantum divide and the relationship between standard quantum and mixed quantum systems, illustrating the latter with a derivation of a superselection rule in superconducting systems.     

One family of 13315 stable periodic orbits of non-hierarchical unequal-mass triple systems

The three-body problem can be traced back to Newton in 1687,but it is still an open question today.Note that only a few periodic orbits of three-body systems were found in 300 years after Newton mentioned this famous problem.Although triple systems are common in astronomy,practically all observed periodic triple systems are hierarchical(similar to the Sun,Earth and Moon).It has traditionally been believed that non-hierarchical triple systems would be unstable and thus should disintegrate into a stable binary system and a single star,and consequently stable periodic orbits of non-hierarchical triple systems have been expected to be rather scarce.However,we report here one family of 135445 periodic orbits of non-hierarchical triple systems with unequal masses;13315 among them are stable.Compared with the narrow mass range(only 10-5)in which stable"Figure-eight"periodic orbits of three-body systems exist,our newly found stable periodic orbits have fairly large mass region.We find that many of these numerically found stable non-hierarchical periodic orbits have mass ratios close to those of hierarchical triple systems that have been measured with astronomical observations.This implies that these stable periodic orbits of non-hierarchical triple systems with distinctly unequal masses quite possibly can be observed in practice.Our investigation also suggests that there should exist an infinite number of stable periodic orbits of non-hierarchical triple systems with distinctly unequal masses.Note that our approach has general meaning:in a similar way,every known family of periodic orbits of three-body systems with two or three equal masses can be used as a starting point to generate thousands of new periodic orbits of triple systems with distinctly unequal masses.

Dynamics of Hamiltonian systems under piecewise linear forcing

A two-parameter family of smooth Hamiltonian systems perturbed by a piecewise linear force is analyzed. The systems are represented both as maps and as dynamical systems. Currently available analytical and numerical results concerning the onset of chaos and global diffusion in such systems are reviewed. Dynamical behavior that has no analogs in the class of systems with analytic Hamiltonians is described. A comparison with the well-studied dynamics of a driven pendulum is presented, and essential differences in dynamics between smooth and analytic systems are highlighted.     

Generating Function Methods for Coefficient-Varying Generalized Hamiltonian Systems

The generating function methods have been applied successfully to generalized Hamiltonian systems with constant or invertible Poisson-structure matrices. In this paper, we extend these results and present the generating function methods preserving the Poisson structures for generalized Hamiltonian systems with general variable Poisson-structure matrices. In particular, some obtained Poisson schemes are applied efficiently to some dynamical systems which can be written into generalized Hamiltonian systems (such as generalized Lotka-Volterra systems, Robbins equations and so on).

Linearization of Systems of Nonlinear Diffusion Equations

We investigate the linearization of systems of n-component nonlinear diffusion equations; such systems have physical applications in soil science, mathematical biology and invariant curve flows. Equivalence transformations of their auxiliary systems are used to identify the systems that can be linearized. We also provide several examples of systems with two-component equations, and show how to linearize them by nonlocal mappings.     

Stationary solutions of Liouville equations for non-Hamiltonian systems

We consider the class of non-Hamiltonian and dissipative statistical systems with distributions that are determined by the Hamiltonian. The distributions are derived analytically as stationary solutions of the Liouville equation for non-Hamiltonian systems. The class of non-Hamiltonian systems can be described by a non-holonomic (non-integrable) constraint: the velocity of the elementary phase volume change is directly proportional to the power of non-potential forces. The coefficient of this proportionality is determined by Hamiltonian. The constant temperature systems, canonical-dissipative systems, and Fermi-Bose classical systems are the special cases of this class of non-Hamiltonian systems.     

Spatial instabilities in reaction random walks with direction-independent kinetics

We study spatial instabilities in reacting and diffusing systems, where diffusion is modeled by a persistent random walk instead of the usual Brownian motion. Perturbations in these reaction walk systems propagate with finite speed, whereas in reaction-diffusion systems localized disturbances affect every part instantly, albeit with heavy damping. We present evolution equations for reaction random walks whose kinetics do not depend on the particles' direction of motion. The homogeneous steady state of such systems can undergo two types of transport-driven instabilities. One type of bifurcation gives rise to stationary spatial patterns and corresponds to the Turing instability in reaction-diffusion systems. The other type occurs in the ballistic regime and leads to oscillatory spatial patterns; it has no analog in reaction-diffusion systems. The conditions for these bifurcations are derived and applied to two model systems. We also analyze the stability properties of one-variable systems and find that small wavelength perturbations decay in an oscillatory manner.     

On Chaotification of Discrete Lagrange Systems

This paper is concerned with chaotification of discrete Lagrange systems in one dimension, via feedback control techniques. A chaotification theorem for discrete Lagrange systems is established. The controlled systems are proved to be chaotic in the sense of Devaney. In particular, the systems corresponding to the original systems and designed controllers are only required to satisfy some mild assumptions.     

A unified approach to fuzzy modelling and robust synchronization of different hyperchaotic systems

In this paper, a Takagi Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy model-based method is proposed to deal with the problem of synchronization of two identical or different hyperchaotic systems. The T S fuzzy models with a small number of fuzzy IF-THEN rules are employed to represent many typical hyperchaotic systems exactly. The benefit of employing the T-S fuzzy models lies in mathematical simplicity of analysis. Based on the T-S fuzzy hyperchaotic models, two fuzzy controllers arc designed via parallel distributed compensation （PDC） and exact linearization （EL） techniques to synchronize two identical hyperchaotic systems with uncertain parameters and two different hyperchaotic systems, respectively. The sufficient conditions for the robust synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic systems with uncertain parameters and the asymptotic synchronization of two different hyperchaotic systems are derived by applying the Lyapunov stability theory. This method is a universal one of synchronizing two identical or different hyperchaotic systems. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed fuzzy model and hyperchaotic synchronization scheme.     

Group structure analysis for classical lattice systems with constraints: I. General properties

The group structure associated with lattice systems without constraints is extended to systems with constraints and some of its physical consequences are investigated. In particular low- and high-temperature expansions, equilibrium equations and duality transformations are analyzed within this framework. It is shown that a large class of systems with constraints whose configuration space has a group structure are “equivalent” to systems without constraints. These structures are illustrated with several examples.     

Diffusion Monte Carlo calculations ofthree-body systems

The application of the diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm in three-body systems is studied. We develop a program and use it to calculate the property of various three-body systems. Regular Coulomb systems such as atoms, molecules, and ions are investigated. The calculation is then extended to exotic systems where electrons are replaced by muons. Some nuclei with neutron halos are also calculated as three-body systems consisting of a core and two external nucleons. Our results agree well with experiments and others' work.

Synchronization between fractional-order chaotic systems and integer orders chaotic systems (fractional-order chaotic systems)

Based on the idea of tracking control and stability theory of fractional-order systems, a controller is designed to synchronize the fractional-order chaotic system with chaotic systems of integer orders, and synchronize the different fractional-order chaotic systems. The proposed synchronization approach in this paper shows that the synchronization between fractional-order chaotic systems and chaotic systems of integer orders can be achieved, and the synchronization between different fractional-order chaotic systems can also be realized. Numerical experiments show that the present method works very well.     

Lagrange equations of nonholonomic systems with fractional derivatives

This paper obtains Lagrange equations of nonholonomic systems with fractional derivatives. First, the exchanging relationships between the isochronous variation and the fractional derivatives are derived. Secondly, based on these exchanging relationships, the Hamilton's principle is presented for non-conservative systems with fractional derivatives. Thirdly, Lagrange equations of the systems are obtained. Furthermore, the d'Alembert–Lagrange principle with fractional derivatives is presented,and the Lagrange equations of nonholonomic systems with fractional derivatives are studied. An example is designed to illustrate these results.     

Thermodynamic model for feedback control of systems with uncertain macroscopic states

Thermodynamics of feedback control processes, including the minimum work consumption of measurement, work extraction, and erasure processes of thermodynamic small systems have been investigated by researchers. We take systems with uncertain macroscopic states as the study object and study the feedback control processes of nonequilibrium macroscopic systems considering both the information entropy of microscopic states and macroscopic states. First we consider a system set that consists of systems with several macroscopic states and discuss the relations among the average information entropy of the system set, the thermodynamic entropy of the systems and the information entropy of macroscopic states of the systems. Then, we derive the expression of the average maximum net work obtained through feedback control, which relates to the free energy of the systems and the minimum work consumption of the measurement and erasure processes.
