The evolution of chaotic dynamics for fractional unified system

Based on reliable numerical approach, this Letter studies the chaotic behavior of the fractional unified system. The lowest orders for this system to have a complete chaotic attractor (the attractor covers the three equilibrium points of the classical unified system) at different parameter values are obtained. A striking finding is that with the increase of the parameter α of the fractional unified system from 0 to 1, the lowest order for this system to have a complete chaotic attractor monotonically decreases from 2.97 to 2.07. Because of the inherent attribute (memory effects) of fractional derivatives, this finding reveals that the chaotic behavior of fractional (classical) unified system becomes stronger and stronger when α increases from 0 to 1. Furthermore, this Letter introduces a novel measure to characterize the chaos intensity of fractional (classical) differential system.

Hopf bifurcation analysis of a new modified hyperchaotic Lü system

The Hopf bifurcation of a new modified hyperchaotic Lü system with only one equilibrium is investigated in this paper. A detailed set of conditions are derived, which guarantee the existence of the Hopf bifurcation. Furthermore, by applying the normal form theory, the direction and type of the Hopf bifurcation, and the approximate expressions of bifurcating periodic solutions and their periods are determined. In addition, numerical simulation results supporting the theoretical analysis are given.     

Stationary and oscillatory fronts in a two-component genetic regulatory network model

We investigate a two-component gene network model, originally used to describe the spatiotemporal patterning of the gene products in early Drosophila development. By considering a particular mode of interaction between the two gene products, denoted proteins A and B, we find both stable stationary and time-oscillatory fronts can occur in the reaction-diffusion system. We reduce the system by replacing B with its spatial average (shadow system) and assume an abrupt “on-and-off” switch for the genes. In doing so, explicit formula are obtained for all steady-state solutions and their linear eigenvalues. Using the diffusion of A,D_a, and the basal production rate, r, as bifurcation parameters, we explore ranges in which a monotone, stationary front is stable, and show it can lose stability through a Hopf bifurcation, giving rise to oscillatory fronts. We also discuss the existence and stability of steady-state and time-oscillatory solutions with multiple extrema. An intuitive explanation for the occurrence of stable stationary and oscillatory front solutions is provided based on the behavior of A in the absence of B and the opposite regulation between A and B. Such behavior is also interpreted in terms of the biological parameters in the model, including those governing the connection of the gene network.     

Analysis of critical and post-critical behaviour of non-linear dynamical systems by the normal form method,Part I: Normalization formulae

A method, based on normal form theory, is presented to study the dynamical behaviour of a system in the neighbourhood of a nearly critical equilibrium state associated with a bifurcation condition. Explicit formulae for the normalization procedure are derived. These formulae can be numerically programmed, avoiding usual complicated algebraic calculations and making the method effectively applicable for n-dimensional systems. Rather general bifurcations can be included: e.g., non-linear flutter (Hopf bifurcation), divergence and internal resonance.     

Delayed feedback control of time-delayed chaotic systems: Analytical approach at Hopf bifurcation

This Letter is concerned with bifurcation and chaos control in scalar delayed differential equations with delay parameter τ. By linear stability analysis, the conditions under which a sequence of Hopf bifurcation occurs at the equilibrium points are obtained. The delayed feedback controller is used to stabilize unstable periodic orbits. To find the controller delay, it is chosen such that the Hopf bifurcation remains unchanged. Also, the controller feedback gain is determined such that the corresponding unstable periodic orbit becomes stable. Numerical simulations are used to verify the analytical results.     

Radial anomalous diffusion in an annulus

In this study, time fractional radial diffusion has been modeled in cylindrical coordinates in order to analyze the anomalous diffusion in an annulus. By using an integral transform technique, the analytical solution of the concentration distribution formula is obtained. The establishing of the concentration distribution is found to be controlled by the fractional derivative α, and the influences of α on the concentration field, the total amount diffused and the quantity of mass passing through the inner wall are presented graphically and studied in detail. Asymptotic expressions for the exact solutions are developed in order to explain the numerical results at small and large time, respectively, and the physical mechanism explanation for the paradoxical behavior shown in the numerical results is given.

Lyapunov-type inequalities for fractional difference operators with discrete Mittag-Leffler kernel of order 2 &lt; <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis> &lt; 5/2

Fractional difference operators with discrete-Mittag-Leffler kernels of order α > 1 are defined and their corresponding fractional sum operators are confirmed. We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for the discrete fractional initial value problems in the frame of discrete Caputo (ABC) and Riemann (ABR) operators by using Banach contraction theorem. Then, we prove Lyapunov type inequality for a Riemann type fractional difference boundary value problem of order 2 < α < 5∕2 within discrete Mittag-Leffler kernels, where the limiting case α → 2⁺ results in the ordinary difference Lyapunov inequality. Examples are given to clarify the applicability of our results and an application about the discrete fractional Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem is analyzed.     

Double Hopf bifurcation induces coexistence of periodic oscillations in a diffusive Ginzburg–Landau model

We perform bifurcation analysis in a complex Ginzburg–Landau system with delayed feedback under the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We calculate the amplitude death region, and it turns out that the boundary of the amplitude death region consists of two Hopf bifurcation curves with wave number zero. The existence conditions for double Hopf bifurcations are established. Taking the feedback strength and time delay as bifurcation parameters, normal forms truncated to the third order at double Hopf singularity are derived, and the unfolding near the critical points is given. The bifurcation diagram near the double Hopf bifurcation is drawn in the two-parameter plane. The phenomena of amplitude death, the existence of stable bifurcating periodic solutions, and the coexistence of two stable periodic solutions with fast oscillation and slow oscillation respectively are simulated.     

The time fractional heat conduction equation in the general orthogonal curvilinear coordinate and the cylindrical coordinate systems

In this paper a time fractional Fourier law is obtained from fractional calculus. According to the fractional Fourier law, a fractional heat conduction equation with a time fractional derivative in the general orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system is built. The fractional heat conduction equations in other orthogonal coordinate systems are readily obtainable as special cases. In addition, we obtain the solution of the fractional heat conduction equation in the cylindrical coordinate system in terms of the generalized H-function using integral transformation methods. The fractional heat conduction equation in the case 0<α≤1 interpolates the standard heat conduction equation (α=1) and the Localized heat conduction equation (α→0). Finally, numerical results are presented graphically for various values of order of fractional derivative.     

Relaxation behavior of a supercooled liquid near the bifurcation of α and Johari-Goldstein processes

Many glass formers show the simultaneously existence of two or more relevant elementary processes (α, β, …). The extrapolation of α and β_JG (Johari-Goldstein) processes to higher temperatures leads often to a bifurcation like behavior of these processes. It will be predicted that in general a crossing or a real bifurcation between an α process and β_JG process is excluded. Both processes avoid each other near and above the apparent bifurcation region. Furthermore, the α process shows strong decreasing of the intensity with increasing temperature close to this regime.     

Wave train selection behind invasion fronts in reaction-diffusion predator-prey models

Wave trains, or periodic travelling waves, can evolve behind invasion fronts in oscillatory reaction-diffusion models for predator-prey systems. Although there is a one-parameter family of possible wave train solutions, in a particular predator invasion a single member of this family is selected. Sherratt (1998) [13] has predicted this wave train selection, using a λ-ω system that is a valid approximation near a supercritical Hopf bifurcation in the corresponding kinetics and when the predator and prey diffusion coefficients are nearly equal. Away from a Hopf bifurcation, or if the diffusion coefficients differ somewhat, these predictions lose accuracy. We develop a more general wave train selection prediction for a two-component reaction-diffusion predator-prey system that depends on linearizations at the unstable homogeneous steady states involved in the invasion front. This prediction retains accuracy farther away from a Hopf bifurcation, and can also be applied when the predator and prey diffusion coefficients are unequal. We illustrate the selection prediction with its application to three models of predator invasions.

The stability of impulsive incommensurate fractional order chaotic systems with Caputo derivative

The stability of impulsive incommensurate fractional-order systems is investigated in this paper. Some novel stability criteria for impulsive incommensurate fractional-order systems are proposed. The presented sufficient condition, which is more general than those of the known ones, is suitable for the case of the fractional orders 0 < α₁ ≤ α₂ ≤ ⋅⋅⋅ ≤ α_n ≤ 1. The simulation results by taking the incommensurate fractional-order T–D system and fractional order Chen economical system as two examples are delivered to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Hopf bifurcation control of a Pan-like chaotic system

This paper is concerned with the Hopf bifurcation control of a modified Pan-like chaotic system. Based on the Routh-Hurwtiz theory and high-dimensional Hopf bifurcation theory, the existence and stability of the Hopf bifurcation depending on selected values of the system parameters are studied. The region of the stability for the Hopf bifurcation is investigated.By the hybrid control method, a nonlinear controller is designed for changing the Hopf bifurcation point and expanding the range of the stability. Discussions show that with the change of parameters of the controller, the Hopf bifurcation emerges at an expected location with predicted properties and the range of the Hopf bifurcation stability is expanded. Finally,numerical simulation is provided to confirm the analytic results.     

Critical behavior and 1/f noise in lumped systems undergoing two phase transitions

It is shown that the interaction of order parameters when subcritical and supercritical phase transitions take place simultaneously may result in a self-organized critical state and cause a 1/f ^α fluctuation spectrum, where 1≤α≤2. Such behavior is inherent in potential and nonpotential systems of nonlinear Langevin equations. A numerical analysis of the solutions to the proposed systems of stochastic differential equations showed that the solutions correlate with fractional integration and differentiation of white noise. The general behavior of such a system has features in common with self-organized criticality.     

Quantum mechanically induced Hopf term in the O(3) nonlinear sigma model

The Hopf term in the (2+ 1)-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model, which is known to be responsible for fractional spin and statistics, is re-examined from the viewpoint of quantization ambiguity. It is confirmed that the Hopf term can be understood as a term induced quantum mechanically, in precisely the same manner as the θ-term in QCD. We present a detailed analysis of the topological aspect of the model based on the adjoint orbit parametrization of the spin vectors, which is not only very useful in handling topological (soliton and/or Hopf) numbers, but also plays a crucial role in defining the Hopf term for configurations of nonvanishing soliton numbers. The Hopf term is seen to arise explicitly as a quantum effect which emerges when quantizing an S¹ degree of freedom hidden in the configuration space.
