Fractional-order optimal fuzzy control for network delay

Fuzzy logic control has been used frequently in tuning network control system (NCS) due to its on-line dynamic static non-linear match and several remarkable fractional-order controllers have achieved satisfactory control performance when applied to NCS in present years, therefore, in this paper, a novel fractional fuzzy logic controller which combined the fractional algorithm and fuzzy logic control together has been proposed to deal with fixed and random network induced delays in closed-loop feedback systems. The comparisons of set-point tracking performances of fractional fuzzy logic PID controller (FFuzzyPID), conventional fuzzy logic PID controller(FuzzyPID), fractional optimal PID controller (FOPID), and optimal PID controller(OPID) on a representative plant with fixed and random network delays have been shown with simulations. The simulation results indicate that fractional fuzzy logic controller has higher capability to handle network delays compared with other controllers in most cases.     

Optimal harvesting policy of a stochastic predator–prey model with time delay

This paper concerns the optimal harvesting of a stochastic delay predator–prey model. Sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of an optimal control are established. The optimal harvesting effort and the maximum value of the cost function are obtained as well. Some numerical tests are given to illustrate the main results.

Stochastic delay foraging arena predator–prey system with Markov switching

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce white noise, telegraph noise and time delay to the two-dimensional foraging arena population system describing the prey and predator abundance. The aim is to find out how the interactions between white noise, telegraph noise and time delay affect the dynamics of the population system. Firstly, the existence of a global positive solution is verified. Then the long-time properties including the stochastically ultimate boundedness, extinction and some other asymptotic pathwise estimation of this population system are studied. Finally, the main results are illustrated by two examples.     

Blow-up behavior of Hammerstein-type delay Volterra integral equations

We consider the blow-up behavior of Hammerstein-type delay Volterra integral equations (DVIEs). Two types of delays, i.e., vanishing delay (pantograph delay) and non-vanishing delay (constant delay), are considered. With the same assumptions of Volterra integral equations (VIEs), in a similar technology to VIEs, the blow-up conditions of the two types of DVIEs are given. The blow-up behaviors of DVIEs with non-vanishing delay vary with different initial functions and the length of the lag, while DVIEs with pantograph delay own the same blow-up behavior of VIEs. Some examples and applications to delay differential equations illustrate this influence.     

On fractional integro-differential inclusions with state-dependent delay in Banach spaces

In this article we investigate the existence of solutions on a compact interval for the fractional integro-differential inclusions with state-dependent delay in Banach spaces when the delay is infinite. We consider the cases when the multivalued nonlinear term takes convex values as well as nonconvex values.     

Finite-time lag synchronization of coupled reaction–diffusion systems with time-varying delay via periodically intermittent control

In this paper, the issue of finite-time lag synchronization of coupled reaction–diffusion systems with time-varying delay (CRDSTD) is considered. A periodically intermittent controller is designed such that drive system and corresponding response system can achieve finite-time lag synchronization. By using graph theory and Lyapunov method, two sufficient criteria are presented to guarantee the finite-time lag synchronization of CRDSTD. Moreover, the time of achieving lag synchronization of CRDSTD is estimated. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Existence and attractivity of time periodic solutions for Nicholson's blowflies model with nonlinear diffusion

This paper is concerned with the existence and attractivity of time periodic solutions for one‐dimensional Nicholson's blowflies model with nonlinear diffusion. By constructing some suitable Lyapunov functionals and combining with Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem, we establish the existence of nonnegative time periodic solutions. Using the method of upper and lower solutions and its associated monotone iterations, we obtain the existence of the attractor for this model. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
