Chaos suppression in a fractional order financial system using intelligent regrouping PSO based fractional fuzzy control policy in the presence of fractional Gaussian noise

Financial systems are known to have irregular and erratic fluctuations due to diverse influences and often result in economic crisis and huge financial losses. Recent models of financial systems show that they behave chaotically and have long range memory dependence. Mitigating these undesirable chaotic natures of financial systems by appropriate control policies is important in order to reduce investment risks and improve economic performance. In this paper, a fractional order fuzzy control policy is employed to suppress the chaotic dynamics of a representative chaotic fractional order financial system. An intelligent Regrouping Particle Swarm Optimization (Reg-PSO) is used to design the numeric weights of the control policy and the methodology is demonstrated by credible simulations. The designed fractional fuzzy control policies are shown to work well with respect to conventional fuzzy control policies in the presence of persistent and anti-persistent noise, which can be due to additional extraneous influences on the system.     

Synthesis,characterization, and in vitro biological evaluation of highly stable diversely functionalized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles

In this article, we report the design and synthesis of a series of well-dispersed superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) using chitosan as a surface modifying agent to develop a potential T ₂ contrast probe for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The amine, carboxyl, hydroxyl, and thiol functionalities were introduced on chitosan-coated magnetic probe via simple reactions with small reactive organic molecules to afford a series of biofunctionalized nanoparticles. Physico-chemical characterizations of these functionalized nanoparticles were performed by TEM, XRD, DLS, FTIR, and VSM. The colloidal stability of these functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles was investigated in presence of phosphate buffer saline, high salt concentrations and different cell media for 1 week. MRI analysis of human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell lines treated with nanoparticles elucidated that the amine-functionalized nanoparticles exhibited higher amount of signal darkening and lower T ₂ relaxation in comparison to the others. The cellular internalization efficacy of these functionalized SPIONs was also investigated with HeLa cancer cell line by magnetically activated cell sorting (MACS) and fluorescence microscopy and results established selectively higher internalization efficacy of amine-functionalized nanoparticles to cancer cells. These positive attributes demonstrated that these nanoconjugates can be used as a promising platform for further in vitro and in vivo biological evaluations.     

On the F-fundamental group scheme

Let X be a smooth projective variety defined over a perfect field k of positive characteristic, and let FX be the absolute Frobenius morphism of X. For any vector bundle E→X, and any polynomial g with non-negative integer coefficients, define the vector bundle using the powers of FX and the direct sum operation. We construct a neutral Tannakian category using the vector bundles with the property that there are two distinct polynomials f and g with non-negative integer coefficients such that . We also investigate the group scheme defined by this neutral Tannakian category.     

Monodromy for principal bundles

Given a strongly semistable principal bundle E_G over a curve, in Biswas et al. (2006) [4], a group-scheme for it was constructed, which was named as the monodromy group-scheme. Here we extend the construction of the monodromy group-scheme to principal bundles over higher dimensional varieties.     

Equivariant Reduction to Torus of a Principal Bundle

Let M be an irreducible projective variety, over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, equipped with an action of a connected algebraic group S over k. Let E _G be a principal G-bundle over M equipped with a lift of the action of S on M, where G is a connected reductive linear algebraic group. Assume that E _G admits a reduction of structure group to a maximal torus TG. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a T-reduction of E _G which is left invariant by the action of S on E _G .     

Flat Partial Connections on a Three Manifold Equipped with a Codimension One Foliation

Given a compact connected oriented three manifold, equipped with a codimension one foliation, such that the Bott connection on the normal bundle is flat, a 2-form on the space parametrizing flat partial connections on it has been constructed. This form is closed. In the special case where the foliated three manifold is a surface bundle over the circle, this 2-form is identified with a certain 2-form on the parameter space for a class of paths in the representation space for the surface group. The 2-form, in question, on the parameter space for paths is constructed from the natural symplectic form on the representation space for a surface group.     

Torelli Theorem for the Deligne–Hitchin Moduli Space

Fix integers g ≥ 3 and r ≥ 2, with r ≥ 3 if g = 3. Given a compact connected Riemann surface X of genus g, let denote the corresponding Deligne–Hitchin moduli space. We prove that the complex analytic space determines (up to an isomorphism) the unordered pair , where is the Riemann surface defined by the opposite almost complex structure on X.
