On global non-degeneracy conditions for chaotic behavior for a class of dynamical systems

For about 25 years, global methods from the calculus of variations have been used to establish the existence of chaotic behavior for some classes of dynamical systems. Like the analytical approaches that were used earlier, these methods require nondegeneracy conditions, but of a weaker nature than their predecessors. Our goal here is study such a nondegeneracy condition that has proved useful in several contexts including some involving partial differential equations, and to show this condition has an equivalent formulation involving stable and unstable manifolds.     

Solitary wave and chaotic behavior of traveling wave solutions for the coupled KdV equations

Using the method of dynamical systems to study the coupled KdV system, some exact explicit parametric representations of the solitary wave and periodic wave solutions are obtained in the given parameter regions. Chaotic behavior of traveling wave solutions is determined.     

On the chaotic behaviour of size structured cell populations

We show that the solution of a model describing size structured cell populations exhibits chaotic behaviour, for a certain range of parameters. The analysis depends on a uniqueness property in ?², treated in Appendix A.     

An efficient self-adaptive model for chaotic image encryption algorithm

In this paper, an efficient self-adaptive model for chaotic image encryption algorithm is proposed. With the help of the classical structure of permutation-diffusion and double simple two-dimensional chaotic systems, an efficient and fast encryption algorithm is designed. However, different from most of the existing methods which are found insecure upon chosen-plaintext or known-plaintext attack in the process of permutation or diffusion, the keystream generated in both operations of our method is dependent on the plain-image. Therefore, different plain-images will have different keystreams in both processes even just only a bit is changed in the plain-image. This design can solve the problem of fixed chaotic sequence produced by the same initial conditions but for different images. Moreover, the operation speed is high because complex mathematical methods, such as Runge–Kutta method, of solving the high-dimensional partial differential equations are avoided. Numerical experiments show that the proposed self-adaptive method can well resist against chosen-plaintext and known-plaintext attacks, and has high security and efficiency.     

Adaptive scheme for time-varying anticipating synchronization of certain or uncertain chaotic dynamical systems

In this paper, a new type of anticipating synchronization, called time-varying anticipating synchronization, is defined firstly. Then novel adaptive schemes for time-varying anticipating synchronization of certain or uncertain chaotic dynamical systems are designed based on the Lyapunov function and invariance principle. The update gain of coupling strength can be automatically adapted to a suitable strength depending on the initial values and can be properly chosen to adjust the speed of achieving synchronization, so these schemes are analytical and simple to implement in practice. A classical chaotic dynamical system is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive schemes with or without parameter uncertainties.

Robust chaos suppression for the family of nonlinear chaotic systems with noise perturbation

This paper investigates the robust chaos suppression problem for some classical Rössler systems using the sliding mode controller (SMC). Based on the proportional-integral (PI) switching surface, a SMC is derived to not only guarantee asymptotical stability of the equilibrium points of the Rössler systems but also reduce the effect of noise perturbation to an _H∞$H_{\infty }$-norm performance. The parameter matrix necessary for constructing both PI switching surface and the SMC can be easily solved by the linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization technique. Finally, two illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control methodology.     

On the dynamics of a periodic Colpitts oscillator forced by periodic and chaotic signals

In this paper, we have examined effects of forcing a periodic Colpitts oscillator with periodic and chaotic signals for different values of coupling factors. The forcing signal is generated in a master bias-tuned Colpitts oscillator having identical structure as that of the slave periodic oscillator. Numerically solving the system equations, it is observed that the slave oscillator goes to chaotic state through a period-doubling route for increasing strengths of the forcing periodic signal. For forcing with chaotic signal, the transition to chaos is observed but the route to chaos is not clearly detectable due to random variations of the forcing signal strength. The chaos produced in the slave Colpitts oscillator for a chaotic forcing is found to be in a phase-synchronized state with the forced chaos for some values of the coupling factor. We also perform a hardware experiment in the radio frequency range with prototype Colpitts oscillator circuits and the experimental observations are in agreement with the numerical simulation results.     

An improved artificial bee colony algorithm for directing orbits of chaotic systems

Artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) is a relatively new optimization technique which has been shown to be competitive to other population-based algorithms. However, there is still an insufficiency in ABC regarding its solution search equation, which is good at exploration but poor at exploitation. To address this concerning issue, we propose an improved ABC (IABC) by using a modified search strategy to generate a new food source in order that the exploration and exploitation can be well balanced and satisfactory optimization performances can be achieved. In addition, to enhance the global convergence, when producing the initial population, both opposition-based learning method and chaotic maps are employed. In this paper, the proposed algorithm is applied to control and synchronization of discrete chaotic systems which can be formulated as both multimodal numerical optimization problems with high dimension. Numerical simulation and comparisons with some typical existing algorithms demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.     

On the study of globally exponentially attractive set of a general chaotic system

In this paper, we prove that there exists globally exponential attractive and positive invariant set for a general chaotic system, which does not belong to the known Lorenz system, or the Chen system, or the Lorenz family. We show that all the solution orbits of the chaotic system are ultimately bounded with exponential convergent rates and the convergent rates are explicitly estimated. The method given in this paper can be applied to study other chaotic systems.     

Tracking control of nonlinear chaotic systems with dynamics uncertainties

This paper deals with the tracking control of nonlinear chaotic systems with dynamics uncertainties. A robust control strategy is developed to control a class of nonlinear chaotic systems with uncertainties. The proposed strategy is an input-output control scheme which comprises an uncertainty estimator and a linearizing-like feedback. The control time is explicitly computed. Computer simulations of the Duffing system are provided to verify the validity of the proposed control scheme.     

Chaotic behavior in the 3-center problem

We consider the motion of a particle in a plane under the gravitational action of 3 fixed centers (the 3-center planar problem). As it is well known (Vestnik Moskov. Univ. Ser. 1 Matem. Mekh 6 (1984) 65; Prikl. Matem. i Mekhan. 48 (1984) 356; Classical Planar Scattering by Coulombic Potentials, Lecture Notes in Physics, Springer, Berlin, 1992) on the non-negative level sets of the energy E there do not exist non-constant analytic first integrals, and moreover the system has chaotic trajectories. These results were proved by variational methods.Here we investigate the problem in the domain of small negative values of E. Moreover, we assume that one of the centers is far away from the other two. Then we get a two-parameter singular perturbation of an integrable dynamical system: the 2-center problem on the zero-energy level. The main problem we deal with is to prove that the Poincaré-Melnikov theory applies in the limit case E→0.     

On the convergence of parallel chaotic nonlinear multisplitting Newton-type methods

On the chaotic behavior of the non-ideal vibrating systems

The paper discusses the chaotic behavior of a vibrating structure coupled to an energy source. The structural response of this system may act like energy sink under certain conditions so that a part of the energy supplied by the source is spend to vibrate the structure rather than increasing the drive speed, according to the Sommerfeld effect [1]. The energy source is influenced by the response of the system and consequently, the system exhibits jumps at critical values of the energy source. The system mimics a disappearance of the energy in the resonance regions which can affect the stability of the system, sending it to chaos [2-4]. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Synchronization of non-autonomous chaotic systems with time-varying delay via delayed feedback control

In this paper, we investigate the synchronization of non-autonomous chaotic systems with time-varying delay via delayed feedback control. Using a combination of Riccati differential equation approach, Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, inequality techniques, some sufficient conditions for exponentially stability of the error system are formulated in form of a solution to the standard Riccati differential equation. The designed controller ensures that the synchronization of non-autonomous chaotic systems are proposed via delayed feedback control and intermittent linear state delayed feedback control. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of these synchronization criteria.     

Synchronization of chaotic solid-state Nd:YAG lasers: Application to secure communication

In this paper, the synchronization problem of coupled chaotic lasers in master–slave configuration is numerically studied. The approach used allows to give a simple design procedure for the slave laser. In particular, we consider a complex system composed by two chaotic Nd:YAG lasers coupled through the first state variable of the master laser. Synchronization of chaotic Nd:YAG lasers is achieved by injecting the chaotic signal from the master Nd:YAG laser into the slave Nd:YAG laser. The robustness of synchronization is discussed when a mismatch of parameters occurs, and the effects of the channel noise on recovered information are showed. A potential application of chaotic synchronization of Nd:YAG lasers to transmit encrypted digital information is also given.     

Chaotic behavior of the Riesz transforms for Hermite expansions

We prove a characterization for hypercyclic and chaotic unbounded unilateral weighted shifts of order p. As applications we obtain that the natural derivatives associated to Hermite expansions are chaotic. On the other hand, the corresponding Riesz transforms are not hypercyclic and even more they are a kind of border line operator which separates the chaotic behavior.
