Evidence of a worldwide stock market log-periodic anti-bubble since mid-2000

Following our investigation of the USA Standard and Poor index anti-bubble that started in August 2000 (Quant. Finance 2 (2002) 468), we analyze 38 world stock market indices and identify 21 “bearish anti-bubbles” and six “bullish anti-bubbles”. An “anti-bubble” is defined as a self-reinforcing price trajectory with self-similar expanding log-periodic oscillations. Mathematically, a bearish anti-bubble is characterize by a power law decrease of the price (or of the logarithm of the price) as a function of time and by expanding log-periodic oscillations. We propose that bearish anti-bubbles are created by positive price-to-price feedbacks feeding overall pessimism and negative market sentiment further strengthened by inter-personal interactions. Bullish anti-bubbles are here identified for the first time. The most striking discovery is that the majority of European and Western stock market indices as well as other stock indices exhibit practically the same log-periodic power law anti-bubble structure as found for the USA S&P500 index. These anti-bubbles are found to start approximately at the same time, August 2000, in all these markets. This shows a remarkable degree of worldwide synchronization. The descent of the worldwide stock markets since 2000 is thus an international event, suggesting the strengthening of globalization.     

General synchronization dynamics of coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators

This paper considers the general synchronization dynamics of coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators. The linear and nonlinear stability analysis on the synchronization process is derived through the Whittaker method and the Floquet theory in addition to the multiple time scales method. A stability map displaying different dynamical states of the system is performed. Numerical simulation is carried out to support and to complement the accuracy of the analytical treatment.

数字中继接口同步性能分析

分析了数字网中产生滑动的３方面原因，即传输系统的工作环境不稳定；失去时钟控制；网路节点的时钟偏差。通过对一种高集成数字中继接口结构的分析，指出数字中继呼损过高的原因之一是由于时钟倍频电路的性能不稳定，即传输系统的工作环境不稳定，从而导致交换系统时钟与传输系统时钟的不同步。为此本文提出了解决该问题的两种方法，且能满足电话业务的滑动率指标的要求     

A new color image cryptosystem via hyperchaos synchronization

This paper proposes a novel color image cryptosystem based on synchronization of two different six-dimensional hyperchaotic systems. In the transmitter end, we apply the drive system to generate the diffusion matrices and scrambling ones, which are used to change the image pixel value and position, respectively. Thus the ciphered image is obtained. In the receiver, synchronization of two nonidentical hyperchaotic systems can be achieved by designing the appropriate controllers. The response system is employed to yield the corresponding diffusion matrices and scrambling ones using the same generation method in the encryption algorithm. Then the cipher-image can be decrypted by the decryption algorithm, which is similar to that of the encryption process but in the reversed order. The experimental results show that the presented image cryptosystem has high security and can resist noise and crop attacks.     

基于EPL的分布式时钟同步方法

工业以太网协议Ethernet POWERLINK(EPL)分布式站点的时钟同步方法并不能在实时运行过程中保持很高的同步精度,无法满足特定环境下的控制要求。研究了工业以太网协议EPL的两种时钟同步机制,通过数理计算分析了时钟同步误差产生的原因,针对误差较大的缺点,提出了减小误差的方法。通过迭代计算消除了主从站同步报文往返的路径延迟,并设计基于现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)的集线器(Hub)用于EPL菊花链网络拓扑结构,有效地克服了时钟同步报文往返传输延时不一致的缺点,测试结果表明新方法明显优于协议自身的时钟同步方法,对于实现基于EPL的高精度分布式时钟同步网络具有重要意义。     

基于WIA-PA传感器网络的能量有效时间同步算法

WIA-PA协议是一种新型工业级无线传感器网络国际标准。当WIA-PA网络内节点数目增多时,传统的参考广播同步算法RBS以及改进型ERBS算法网络开销非常大。针对这一严峻的问题,提出了一种能量有效的局部最优时间同步算法。该算法对相邻的接收节点在多个参考广播消息的条件下求取平均相位偏差,然后对此平均相位偏差进行最大后验估计,最后根据此估计值调整本地时钟。仿真结果表明,本文所提时间同步算法在同步精度方面比RBS约提高168%,比ERBS约提高24%;同时,同步过程中的网络能耗也大大减少。

Adaptive synchronization of weighted complex dynamical networks through pinning

This paper considers the problem of controlling weighted complex dynamical networks by applying adaptive control to a fraction of network nodes. We investigate the local and global synchronization of the controlled dynamical network through the construction of a master stability function and a Lyapunov function. Analytical results show that a certain number of nodes can be controlled by using adaptive pinning to ensure the synchronization of the entire network. We present numerical simulations to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. In comparison with feedback pinning, the proposed pinning control scheme is robust when tested by noise, different weighting and coupling structures, and time delays.
