This paper consists of four parts. It begins by using the authors' generalized Schauder formula, [41] , and the algebraic multiplicity, χ , of Esquinas and López-Gómez [15,14,31] to package and sharpening all existing results in local and global bifurcation theory for Fredholm operators through the recent author's axiomatization of the Fitzpatrick–Pejsachowicz–Rabier degree, [42]. This facilitates reformulating and refining all existing results in a compact and unifying way. Then, the local structure of the solution set of analytic nonlinearities F (λ , u) = 0 at a simple degenerate eigenvalue is ascertained by means of some concepts and devices of Algebraic Geometry and Galois Theory, which establishes a bisociation between Bifurcation Theory and Algebraic Geometry. Finally, the unilateral theorems of [31,33] , as well as the refinement of Shi and Wang [53] , are substantially generalized. This paper also analyzes two important examples to illustrate and discuss the relevance of the abstract theory. The second one studies the regular positive solutions of a multidimensional quasilinear boundary value problem of mixed type related to the mean curvature operator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The stability of the transportation system refers to the structural stability of the system. When the system structure is unstable, local or global bifurcation phenomena will occur, which is one of the main reasons for nonlinear traffic phenomena such as congestion. To truly understand the internal mechanism of the formation of these phenomena, it is necessary to analyze the bifurcation of traffic flow. In this paper, the Hopf bifurcation control of a modified viscous macroscopic traffic flow model is studied by using the linear state feedback method, which changes the characteristics of the bifurcation phenomenon of the dynamic system and obtains the required dynamic behavior of the system. First, we can convert the original traffic model into the nonlinear ordinary differential form suitable for bifurcation analysis, solve the equilibrium point of the system, and carry out phase plane analysis. Then, the linear state feedback term is added and the corresponding controlled system is generated, the existence and type of Hopf bifurcation and the existence of saddle node bifurcation are proved. Numerical simulation results show that the analysis and control of Hopf bifurcation in the traffic model are well realized in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In insecure communication environments where the communication bandwidth is limited, important image data must be compressed and encrypted for transmission. However, existing image compression and encryption algorithms suffer from poor image reconstruction quality and insufficient image encryption security. To address these problems, this paper proposes an image-compression and encryption scheme based on a newly designed hyperchaotic system and two-dimensional compressed sensing (2DCS) technique. In this paper, the chaotic performance of this hyperchaotic system is verified by bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov diagrams, approximate entropy, and permutation entropy, which have certain advantages over the traditional 2D chaotic system. The new 2D chaotic system as a pseudo-random number generator can completely pass all the test items of NIST. Meanwhile, this paper improves on the existing 2D projected gradient (2DPG) algorithm, which improves the quality of image compression and reconstruction, and can effectively reduce the transmission pressure of image data confidential communication. In addition, a new image encryption algorithm is designed for the new 2D chaotic system, and the security of the algorithm is verified by experiments such as key space size analysis and encrypted image information entropy.

In this paper, we consider the influence of a nonlinear contact rate caused by multiple contacts in classical SIR model. In this paper, we unversal unfolding a nilpotent cusp singularity in such systems through normal form theory, we reveal that the system undergoes a Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation with codimension 2. During the bifurcation process, numerous lower codimension bifurcations may emerge simultaneously, such as saddle-node and Hopf bifurcations with codimension 1. Finally, employing the Matcont and Phase Plane software, we construct bifurcation diagrams and topological phase portraits. Additionally, we emphasize the role of symmetry in our analysis. By considering the inherent symmetries in the system, we provide a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamical behavior. Our findings suggest that if this occurrence rate is applied to the SIR model, it would yield different dynamical phenomena compared to those obtained by reducing a 3-dimensional dynamical model to a planar system by neglecting the disease mortality rate, which results in a stable nilpotent cusp singularity with codimension 2. We found that in SIR models with the same occurrence rate, both stable and unstable Bogdanov-Takens bifurcations occur, meaning both stable and unstable limit cycles appear in this system.

To accurately depict inventory management over time, this paper introduces a fractional inventory management model that builds upon the existing classical inventory management framework. According to the definition of fractional difference equation, the numerical solution and phase diagram of an inventory management system are obtained by MATLAB simulation. The influence of parameters on the nonlinear behavior of the system is analyzed by a bifurcation diagram and largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE). Combined with the related indexes of time series, the complex characteristics of a quantization system are analyzed using spectral entropy and C0. This study concluded that the changing law of system complexity is consistent with the LLE of the system. By analyzing the influence of order on the system, it is found that the inventory changes will be periodic in some areas when the system is fractional, which is close to the actual conditions of the company's inventory situation. The research results of this paper provide useful information for inventory managers to implement inventory and facility management strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, the research on the modified Leslie–Gower model has become an appealing topic. Due to economic efficiency and the complexity of discrete models, we investigate a discrete modified Leslie–Gower predator–prey model with prey harvesting in this paper. The stability of fixed points and bifurcations of the interior fixed points are studied. According to bifurcation theory and normal forms, we derived the conditions of codimension 2 bifurcations occurred, including 1:1 strong resonance bifurcation and fold-flip bifurcation. These two bifurcations are unusual in bifurcation analysis on discrete systems. In addition, the continuation curves, bifurcation diagrams, and phase diagrams are used to demonstrate theoretical results. Our study shows the interesting dynamics of this model that are very different from the continuous one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a novel Switching Chaotic Coupled Map Lattices (SCCML) system based on Elementary Cellular Automata (ECA) to address issues found in Coupled Map Lattices (CML) systems such as period windows, poor lattice correlation, and limited chaotic behavior parameters. The system uses a bidirectional coupling method and introduces two ECA with different rules to continuously alter the indexes of the coupled lattices and the underlying chaotic mapping. This approach effectively mitigates correlation issues in CML systems. At the same time, the iterative results of ECA are cascaded with the chaotic mapping as a perturbation of the SCCML system to extend the parameter range of chaotic behavior. The Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy density and universality, bifurcation diagrams, uniformity and correlation are analyzed to investigate the dynamical properties of the proposed system. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate that, compared with other novel spatiotemporal chaotic systems, the proposed system eliminates periodic windows, expands the chaotic behavior parameter range, and decreases the correlation between different lattices. The above experimental results demonstrate the proposed system's excellent potential for cryptosystems and secure communication. Furthermore, an Encrypted Code Index Modulation (E-CIM) scheme based on reversible ECA encryption is proposed to address the problems of limited pseudo-random sequence resources and low spectrum utilization in direct sequence spread spectrum systems. The proposed scheme uses a chaotic sequence with good correlation and randomness generated by the SCCML spatiotemporal chaos system as the spreading code sequence. In the scheme, the information bits are divided into two parts, namely modulation bits and mapping bits. The modulation bits are mapped to points on the modulation constellation diagram. The mapping bits are encrypted using reversible ECA, and the mapped bits before and after encryption are mapped as spreading sequences with different indexes. Simulation and analysis show that under the same spectrum efficiency conditions, the BER performance of E-CIM is superior to that of the Code Index Modulation (CIM) and Generalized Code Index Modulation (GCIM) schemes by about 2–4 dB and superior to that of the Nonorthogonal Code Shift Keying and Code Index Modulation (N-CSK-CIM) scheme by about 0.5 dB in an additive Gaussian white noise channel when the BER is 10 − 5 .

One way to characterize an orbit of a dynamical system is through its frequency content. Using a "spectral bifurcation diagram", it has been shown earlier how the frequency content changes when a system undergoes a period-doubling cascade. In this paper, we extend the scope of this technique to obtain newer insights into various bifurcations like pitchfork bifurcation, border-collision bifurcation, period-adding cascade, and various torus bifurcations. We show that applying this method can enrich our understanding of bifurcations by providing vital information about generating or annihilating frequency components in a bifurcation.

Bifurcation analysis is an essential tool in nonlinear dynamics. Bifurcation diagrams help to discover subtle features of investigated dynamics such as chaotic and periodic regimes, hidden attractors and fixed points. However, plotting high-resolution bifurcation diagrams can be a computationally challenging task, especially in multiparametric evaluation. It should be noted that the bifurcation analysis is a task with natural parallelism and thus can be efficiently solved using hybrid central-graphics processing architectures. In this paper, we propose an advanced algorithm and special software for plotting bifurcation diagrams using calculations accelerated by graphics processing unit in combination with a highly efficient semi-implicit ordinary differential equation solver. Time series processing is based on the extraction of amplitude and phase features for the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise to determine oscillation periodicity. We showcase the features of the application of proposed solutions on a set of test chaotic systems. The performance of the analysis algorithms is investigated in comparison with conventional solutions based on central processing unit and several approaches known from the literature. We explicitly show that the proposed algorithm outperforms known solutions in both calculation speed and precision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a global study of the class Q E S ̂ of all real quadratic polynomial differential systems possessing exactly one elemental infinite singular point and one triple infinite singular point, which is either an infinite nilpotent elliptic-saddle or a nilpotent saddle. This class can be divided into three different families, namely, Q E S ̂ (A) of phase portraits possessing three real finite singular points, Q E S ̂ (B) of phase portraits possessing one real and two complex finite singular points, and Q E S ̂ (C) of phase portraits possessing one real triple finite singular point. Here, we provide a comprehensive study of the geometry of these three families. Modulo the action of the affine group and time homotheties, families Q E S ̂ (A) and Q E S ̂ (B) are three-dimensional and family Q E S ̂ (C) is two-dimensional. We study the respective bifurcation diagrams of their closures with respect to specific normal forms, in sub-sets of real Euclidean spaces. The bifurcation diagram of family Q E S ̂ (A) (resp., Q E S ̂ (B) and Q E S ̂ (C)) yields 1274 (resp., 89 and 14) sub-sets with 91 (resp., 27 and 12) topologically distinct phase portraits for systems in the closure Q E S ̂ (A) ¯ (resp., Q E S ̂ (B) ¯ and Q E S ̂ (C) ¯) within the representatives of Q E S ̂ (A) (resp., Q E S ̂ (B) and Q E S ̂ (C)) given by a specific normal form.

Megastable oscillations are a subject of significant research interest due to their broad range of potential applications. Typically, megastable systems are driven into oscillation by a forcing term. In this paper, we propose a novel megastable oscillator that utilizes a combination of Signum and trigonometric functions. To the best of our knowledge, no 3D megastable system has been found to exhibit hyperchaotic behavior without any forcing term. We demonstrate the megastability of our oscillator using phase portraits and basins of attraction and confirm the oscillations using the Hamiltonian energy method. We also conduct a stability analysis to explore the system’s nature and investigate the impact of parameters using a bifurcation diagram. Furthermore, we present a Lyapunov spectrum to identify regions of chaos, hyperchaos, and periodic oscillations. The results we obtain demonstrate the complexity of the system and its sensitivity to initial conditions, making it well-suited for applications such as random number generation and secure communication.

This paper investigates the dynamics of a four-dimensional plankton-fish system that contains three communities of plankton: non-toxic phytoplankton, toxic-producing phytoplankton, and zooplankton. The zooplankton consumes both non-toxic and toxic-producing phytoplankton. First, the positivity and boundedness of the solutions in the plankton-fish model are evaluated. Then, we derive the conditions for the existence of ecologically possible equilibria and their local and global asymptotic nature. Furthermore, we evaluate the criteria for the existence of Hopf-bifurcation and transcritical bifurcation. By applying Pontryagin’s maximum principle, we investigate the optimal control of fish harvesting, where fishing effort is taken as a control parameter. By using phase-space diagrams, time responses, bifurcation diagrams, and numerical analyses validate the theoretical results. The numerical results including maximum Lyapunov exponent verify chaotic dynamics of the system. We notice that a suitable choice of harvesting, phytoplankton growth rate, and additional food parameters can control the chaotic behavior of the presented model. The proposed novel mathematical model gives deeper insights to theoretical ecologists on how toxic-producing phytoplankton affects zooplankton and fish populations in aquatic systems. Furthermore, the proposed model is more appropriate for fish harvesting to maximize profit as well as species conversion in the presence of toxic phytoplankton. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a novel 4D hyperchaotic system derived from a modified 3D Lorenz chaotic system. A key aspect of this system is the presence of a single equilibrium point, and its stability is carefully analyzed. The dynamic properties, including the Lyapunov exponent spectrum, bifurcation diagram, and chaotic attractors, are investigated using MATLAB simulations. The results reveal that the system displays hyperchaotic behavior across a wide range of the parameter d , with its chaotic attractor transitioning through four states: hyperchaotic, chaotic, periodic, and quasi-periodic, showcasing the system's complex dynamics. Experimental validation using STM32 embedded hardware successfully reproduces these four types of chaotic attractors, confirming the theoretical predictions. The proposed hyperchaotic system is then applied to image encryption, introducing a novel encryption method. The hyperchaotic key sequence generated by this system meets 15 tests of the NIST SP800-22 standard, and further experimental validation with STM32 hardware demonstrates the algorithm's effectiveness, simplicity, non-linearity, and high security. The encrypted images and sequences are rigorously tested key space analysis, histogram similarity analysis, information entropy analysis, statistical attack analysis, differential attack analysis, key sensitivity analysis, and correlation analysis, highlighting the robustness and reliability of the proposed system. This method is versatile and can be extended to various fields, including audio and video encryption, text encryption, IoT security, financial transaction security, and medical data protection.

Mathematical models such as Fitzhugh–Nagoma and Hodgkin–Huxley models have been used to understand complex nervous systems. Still, due to their complexity, these models have made it challenging to analyze neural function. The discrete Rulkov model allows the analysis of neural function to facilitate the investigation of neuronal dynamics or others. This paper introduces a fractional memristor Rulkov neuron model and analyzes its dynamic effects, investigating how to improve neuron models by combining discrete memristors and fractional derivatives. These improvements include the more accurate generation of heritable properties compared to full-order models, the treatment of dynamic firing activity at multiple time scales for a single neuron, and the better performance of firing frequency responses in fractional designs compared to integer models. Initially, we combined a Rulkov neuron model with a memristor and evaluated all system parameters using bifurcation diagrams and the 0–1 chaos test. Subsequently, we applied a discrete fractional-order approach to the Rulkov memristor map. We investigated the impact of all parameters and the fractional order on the model and observed that the system exhibited various behaviors, including tonic firing, periodic firing, and chaotic firing. We also found that the more I tend towards the correct order, the more chaotic modes in the range of parameters. Following this, we coupled the proposed model with a similar one and assessed how the fractional order influences synchronization. Our results demonstrated that the fractional order significantly improves synchronization. The results of this research emphasize that the combination of memristor and discrete neurons provides an effective tool for modeling and estimating biophysical effects in neurons and artificial neural networks.

We discuss 1D, 2D and 3D bifurcation diagrams of two nonlinear dynamical systems: an electric arc system having both chaotic and periodic steady-state responses and a cytosolic calcium system with both periodic/chaotic and constant steady-state outputs. The diagrams are mostly obtained by using the 0–1 test for chaos, but other types of diagrams are also mentioned; for example, typical 1D diagrams with local maxiumum values of oscillatory responses (periodic and chaotic), the entropy method and the largest Lyapunov exponent approach. Important features and properties of each of the three classes of diagrams with one, two and three varying parameters in the 1D, 2D and 3D cases, respectively, are presented and illustrated via certain diagrams of the K values, − 1 ≤ K ≤ 1 , from the 0–1 test and the sample entropy values S a E n > 0 . The K values close to 0 indicate periodic and quasi-periodic responses, while those close to 1 are for chaotic ones. The sample entropy 3D diagrams for an electric arc system are also provided to illustrate the variety of possible bifurcation diagrams available. We also provide a comparative study of the diagrams obtained using different methods with the goal of obtaining diagrams that appear similar (or close to each other) for the same dynamical system. Three examples of such comparisons are provided, each in the 1D, 2D and 3D cases. Additionally, this paper serves as a brief review of the many possible types of diagrams one can employ to identify and classify time-series obtained either as numerical solutions of models of nonlinear dynamical systems or recorded in a laboratory environment when a mathematical model is unknown. In the concluding section, we present a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of using the 1D, 2D and 3D diagrams. Several illustrative examples are included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stochastic bifurcation of dynamical system induced by Lévy noise is investigated in this paper from the global viewpoint, which is demonstrated based on the global attractor obtained with the compatible cell mapping (CCM) method. Compared with the traditional cell mapping method, the efficiency of CCM method is greatly improved by concentrating the computational domain on the covering set of the global attractor rather than the whole state space. The computation time can be further reduced by a simple parallel procedure with the block matrix strategy. With the proposed method, the evolutionary process of global properties has been presented. It shows that the shape and size of stochastic attractors and stochastic saddles vary along the direction of unstable manifold with the parameters of Lévy noise. Stochastic bifurcation occurs when stochastic attractor collides with stochastic saddle. It can be also found that the global bifurcation under Lévy noise is discontinuous because of the jump property. The results are significantly different from those of Gaussian noise, which reveals a distinct global evolutionary mechanism of stochastic bifurcation. Furthermore, it also indicates that the CCM method with block matrix is an effective tool for global analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The growing demand for maintaining secure communication channels with the advancements in digital technologies has led to an intensified interest in designing reliable image encryption schemes. Despite various encryption schemes that have been used, some are considered to have insecurity regarding data transmission and multimedia. Motivated by this concern, this paper proposes a new color image encryption algorithm of a multi-key generation-based nD-Hyperchaotic (HC) system. The new algorithm achieves Shannon’s confusion and diffusion principles using a two S-box generation approach, where the first S-box is generated from the proposed nD-HC system and the resulting sequence is used to increase encryption complexity, while the second S-box is generated from (n + i)D-HC system. Afterward, mathematical analysis is carried out to showcase the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, as well as its resistance to visual, statistical, differential, and brute-force attacks. The proposed scheme successfully passes all NIST SP 800 suite tests. The cryptographic system demonstrated by the proposed scheme has proven to have outstanding performance through simulation tests, which indicates promising potential applicability aspects in secure and real-time image communication settings.

In this paper, we study the classification and evolution of bifurcation curves of semipositone problem with Minkowski-curvature operator { − (u ′ / 1 − u ′ 2 ) ′ = λ f (u) , in (− L , L) , u (− L) = u (L) = 0 , where λ , L > 0 , f ∈ C 2 (0 , ∞) , and the following conditions (H 1)–(H 2) hold: (H 1) there exists β > 0 such that (β − u) f (u) < 0 for u > 0 and u ≠ β. (H 2) Let F (u) ≡ ∫ 0 u f (t) d t. Then F : [ 0 , ∞) ⟶ R is continuous and differentiable for u > 0. And there exists η > 0 such that (η − u) F (u) < 0 for u > 0 and u ≠ η. Notice that we allow f (0 +) = − ∞. In particular, we further obtain the exact shapes of the bifurcation curve as f is convex or concave. Finally, we apply these results in several problems.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamic characteristics and the meshing state transition characteristics of spalling defect gears under various lubrication conditions. The time-varying geometric parameters, motion parameters and load distribution of the gears in the state of positive meshing and reverse impact are analyzed. The time-varying meshing stiffness considering the time-varying friction coefficient under elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL), mixed lubrication and boundary lubrication are calculated, and the spalling defect is introduced in the stiffness calculation process. The equivalent lubrication model of the gear is established, the switching condition of the lubrication state is derived, and the distribution of the lubrication state in the torque-speed plane is discussed. The multimeshing state dynamic model of the spalling defect gear is established, and the evolution characteristics of the coexistence response and the transition of the meshing state under different lubrication conditions are simulated by using the attraction domain, phase trajectory, meshing force and bifurcation diagram. The results show that the phase trajectory of the gear with the spalling defect is deformed compared with that of the healthy gear. The change of lubrication state has little effect on the phase trajectory and attraction domain of the gear with spalling defect, but has a great influence on the meshing force. At the spalling boundary, the meshing force is changed abruptly, and the worse the lubrication state, the more obvious the mutation. Due to the influence of spalling on tooth stiffness, it will also affect the meshing force in the nonspalling area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a new third-order symmetric difference equation transformed into a 3D discrete symmetric map. The nonlinear dynamics and symmetry of the proposed map are analyzed with two initial conditions for exploring the sensitivity of the map and highlighting the influence of the map parameters on its behaviors, thus comparing the findings. Moreover, the stability of the zero fixed point and symmetry are examined by theoretical analysis, and it is proved that the map generates diverse nonlinear traits comprising multistability, chaos, and hyperchaos, which is confirmed by phase attractors in 2D and 3D space, Lyapunov exponents ( L E s ) analysis and bifurcation diagrams; also, 0-1 test and sample entropy (SampEn) are used to confirm the existence and measure the complexity of chaos. In addition, a nonlinear controller is introduced to stabilize the symmetry map and synchronize a duo of unified symmetry maps. Finally, numerical results are provided to illustrate the findings.

The memristor, a novel device, has been widely utilized due to its small size, low power consumption, and memory characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new three-dimensional discrete memristor map based on coupling a one-dimensional chaotic map amplifier with a memristor. Firstly, we analyzed the memristor model to understand its characteristics. Then, a Simulink model for this three-dimensional discrete memristor map was developed. Lastly, the complex dynamical characteristics of the system were analyzed via equilibrium points, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponent spectra, complexity, and multistability. This study revealed the phenomena of coexisting attractors and hyperchaotic attractors. Simulink modeling confirmed that the discrete memristors effectively enhanced the chaos complexity in the three-dimensional discrete memristor map. This approach addresses the shortcomings of randomness, the lack of ergodicity, and the small key space in a one-dimensional chaotic map, thereby enriching the theoretical analysis and circuit implementation of chaos.

This paper proposes a novel nonuniform continuous traffic flow model, which takes into account the differences in drivers' expected headway and further improves the model by incorporating the influences of relative distance and relative velocity of vehicles through linear weighting. Additionally, the model also considers the dynamic response time of drivers for further refinement. With this model, bifurcation theory can also be applied in the stability analysis of traffic systems to study the stability mutation behavior of traffic systems at bifurcation points. Through linear and nonlinear analysis methods, the stability conditions of the model and the KdV–Burgers equation can be derived, the type of equilibrium point of the model can be judged, the conditions for the existence of Hopf bifurcations and the type of bifurcations can be proved, and the traffic flow problem can be transformed into the stability analysis problem of the system. Through numerical simulations in both high-density and low-density scenarios, it is shown that the model can well describe the actual traffic phenomena and can describe the stability abrupt behavior of the traffic system at Hopf bifurcation points and saddle-node bifurcation points through density-time and phase plane diagrams.

In this paper, the qualitative behaviors of an important four-dimensional Lorenz system with wild pseudohyperbolic attractor that proposed in (Gonchenko et al 2021 Nonlinearity 34 2018–47) are considered. Here, we prove that the four-dimensional Lorenz system with varying parameters is global bounded according to Lyapunov's direct method. Furthermore, we provide a collection of global absorbing sets, where in addition we obtain the rate of the trajectories going from the exterior to the global absorbing set. In particular, we solve the critical case k → 0 + that cannot be resolved by using the previous methods. The fundamental qualitative behaviors are analyzed theoretically and numerically. We present bifurcation diagrams to further explore the complicated dynamical behaviors of this system. The period-doubling bifurcation phenomenon is found. To illustrate the efficiency of our method, we present numerical simulations to show the validity of our research results. Finally, we present some applications of our research results in this paper.

This paper deals with two topics: roll predictions of marine vessels with machine-learning methods and parameter estimation of unknown ocean disturbances when the amplitude, frequency, offset, and phase are difficult to estimate. This paper aims to prevent the risky roll motions of marine vessels exposed to harsh circumstances. First of all, this study demonstrates complex dynamic phenomena by utilising a bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponents, and a Poincare section. Without any observers, an adaptive identification applies these four parameters to the globally exponential convergence using linear second-order filters and parameter estimation errors. Then, a backstepping controller is employed to make an exponential convergence of the state variables to zero. Finally, this work presents the prediction of roll motion using reservoir computing (RC). As a result, the RC process shows good performance for chaotic time series prediction in future states. Thus, the poor predictability of Lyapunov exponents may be overcome to a certain extent, with the help of machine learning. Numerical simulations validate the dynamic behaviour and the efficacy of the proposed scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The linear and weakly nonlinear stability analyses of Darcy–Bénard convection of a Newtonian fluid experiencing a uniform vertical cross-flow is investigated in the paper for various aspect ratios. Making use of the Maclaurin series representation, an expression for axial eigenfunctions is obtained with the radial eigenfunction being a Bessel function of first kind. These eigenfunctions are influenced by the Peclet number, Pe, the non-dimensional number that signifies the rate of vertical cross-flow. The modified-Vadasz-Lorenz model obtained in this paper has newly defined non-dimensional parameters that capture the influence of vertical cross-flow. From the linear stability analysis, it is found that the effect of introducing vertical cross-flow is to stabilize the system. Using a weakly nonlinear stability analysis, the closed-form expression of the Hopf-Rayleigh number as a function of Pe is obtained. Furthermore, the behavior of the modified-Vadasz–Lorenz model is analyzed using the largest Lyapunov exponent and the bifurcation diagram. This gives information about the intensity of chaos and occurrence of the periodic motion. We observe that the influence of vertical cross-flow is to increase the value of the Hopf–Rayleigh number and thereby to delay the onset of chaos. Furthermore, the appearance of the first periodic point is preponed due to the vertical cross-flow. As the rate of vertical cross-flow increases, the intensity of chaos decreases, thereby indicating that the effect of introducing vertical cross-flow is to suppress chaos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to reveal the general escape mechanism of non-hyperbolic chaotic invariant sets under both weak noise limit and finite noise intensity, the simplest example of Hénon map, which represents the stretching and folding of the phase space, is taken to study the escape mechanism under two kinds of global bifurcation: the fractal boundary crisis and the attractor contact crisis. In this paper, we revealed the general exit mechanism by analyzing the escape paths derived from the shooting method and Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, to further demonstrate universality, an example of high-dimensional differential dynamical system, namely the transient chaos Duffing oscillator, is examined, which underscores the main idea of this paper analyzing specific deterministic structures not only enhances the comprehensibility of the escape process, but also allows for predictions of general escape behavior under weak noise intensity.

Spiking networks, as the third generation of neural networks, are of great interest today due to their low power consumption in cognitive processes. This important characteristic has caused the hardware implementation techniques of spiking networks in the form of neuromorphic systems attract a lot of attention. For the first time, the focus is on the digital implementation based on CORDIC approximation of the Hindmarsh–Rose (HR) neuron so that the hardware implementation cost is lower than previous studies. If the digital design of a neuron is done efficient, the possibility of implementing a population of neurons is provided for the feasibility of low-consumption implementation of high-level cognitive processes in hardware, which is considered in this paper through edge detector, noise removal and image magnification spiking networks based on the proposed CORDIC_HR model. While using less hardware resources, the proposed HR neuron model follows the behavior of the original neuron model in the time domain with much less error than previous study. Also, the complex nonlinear behavior of the original and the proposed model of HR neuron through the bifurcation diagram, phase space and nullcline space analysis under different system parameters was investigated and the good follow-up of the proposed model was confirmed from the original model. In addition to the fact that the individual behavior of the original and the proposed neurons is the same, the functional and behavioral performance of the randomly connected neuronal population of original and proposed neuron model is equal. In general, the main contribution of the paper is in presenting an efficient hardware model, which consumes less hardware resources, follows the behavior of the original model with high accuracy, and has an acceptable performance in image processing applications such as noise removal and edge detection.

We are interested in the global bifurcation diagram of radial solutions for the Gelfand problem with the exponential nonlinearity and a positive radially symmetric weight in the unit ball. When the weight is constant, it is known that the bifurcation curve has infinitely many turning points if the dimension 3 ≤ N ≤ 9 , and it has no turning points if N ≥ 10. In this paper, we show that the perturbation of the weight does not affect the bifurcation structure when 3 ≤ N ≤ 9. Moreover, we find a one-parameter family of radial singular solutions for a parametrized weight and study the Morse index of the singular solution. As a result, we prove that the perturbation affects the bifurcation structure in the critical dimension N = 10. Moreover, we give a classification of the bifurcation diagrams in the critical dimension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with a model of chemostat with two cross‐feeding species and involving two inhibitions. The excess of hydrogen inhibits the growth of acetogenic bacteria which, in turn, inhibit the growth of methanogenic hydrogenotrophic bacteria. The model is described by a system of four ordinary differential equations. We established the conditions of existence and stability of equilibria with respect to the operating parameters which are the dilution rate and the input substrate concentrations of the species of the model, then we illustrate the operating and bifurcation diagrams. This technique makes it easy to interpret different regions of operating diagrams. Inhibitions let some regions of stability rise and others vanish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a three dimensional discrete eco-epidemiological model with Holling type-III functional response is proposed. Boundedness of the solutions of the system is analyzed. Existence condition and stability of all fixed points are discussed for the proposed model. Furthermore, we obtained the transcritical bifurcation surfaces of the system by bifurcation theory. Based on the explicit criteria for the Neimark Sacker bifurcation and flip bifurcation, we obtained that the system undergoes these two types of bifurcations at the positive fixed point. Then we apply a hybrid control strategy that based on both parameter perturbation and a state feedback strategy to control the Neimark-Sacker bifurcation. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The MatCont toolkit was used to verify the subcritical bifurcation in the system. In addition, the influence of parameters on the bifurcation diagram of the system and the influence of parameters on the critical speed of the bogie system during the hunting motion are also analysed.

This paper is concerned with the sustained periodic oscillation phenomenon in a three-species delayed predation system with Holling type II functional response and age structure in top predator. The top predator fertility function is regarded as a piecewise continuous smooth function with regard to their maturation period τ 2 . The complicated dynamic behavior is proved by integrated semigroup theory and Hopf bifurcation theorem for semilinear equations with non-dense domain. Through qualitative analysis and bifurcation study of the system, we yield that this system has a nontrivial periodic solution that bifurcates from the positive equilibrium age distribution when bifurcation parameter τ passes through some critical values. Numerical simulations are also provided to illustrate theoretically analytical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The coupling between neurons can lead to diverse neural network architectures, with the Hopfield neural network (HNN) being particularly noteworthy for its resemblance to human brain function and its potential in modeling chaotic systems. This paper introduces a novel approach: a fractional-order HNN coupled with a hyperbolic tangent-type memristor. Initially, we propose a new model for the hyperbolic tangent-type memristor and fingerprints. Subsequently, we construct a memristor-coupled fractional-order Hopfield neural network (mFOHNN) and explore its dynamic behavior using various analytical tools, including phase diagrams, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponent diagrams, Poincaré maps, and attractor basins. Our findings reveal rich coexisting bifurcation behavior in the neural network model, influenced by different initial values of coexisting attractors. Finally, we validate the model through analysis and implementation using Multisim circuit simulation software and FPGA hardware, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with a spatial S − I epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate. First, the existence of the equilibrium is discussed in different conditions. Then the main criteria for the stability and instability of the constant steady-state solutions are presented. In addition, the effect of diffusion coefficients on Turing instability is described. Next, by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem, the existence and direction of Hopf bifurcation for the ordinary differential equations system and the partial differential equations system are given, respectively. The bifurcation diagrams of Hopf and Turing bifurcations are shown. Moreover, a priori estimates and local steady-state bifurcation are investigated. Furthermore, our analysis focuses on providing specific conditions that can determine the local bifurcation direction and extend the local bifurcation to the global one. Finally, the numerical results demonstrate that the intrinsic growth rate, denoted as r , has significant influence on the spatial pattern. Specifically, different patterns appear, with the increase of r. The obtained results greatly expand on the discovery of pattern formation in the epidemic model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Improving neurons in a real physiological environment and studying their electrical behavior is crucial for understanding human cognitive brain functions and neural dynamics. Neuronal cells reside in a complex physiological environment, where the electromagnetic fields generated by ion transmembrane movements affect their discharge activity. Therefore, to better simulate the real conditions of biological neurons, this paper incorporated the characteristics of the memristor and constructed a four-dimensional Morris-Lecar (ML) neuron model by adding a magneto-controlled memristor into the three-dimensional ML neuron model. Through the study of time series diagrams, phase plane diagrams, inter-spike interval (ISI) bifurcation diagrams, we explored the effects of the feedback gain coefficient and the relationship coefficient between membrane potential and magnetic flux on the firing behavior of neurons in the model. It was found that variations in these two parameters can lead to complex firing patterns in neurons. We also utilized the maximum Lyapunov exponent and dissipative theory to investigate the chaotic synchronization phenomenon in the memristor-based ML neuron model. Additionally, we explored the impact of noise on neuronal synchronization behavior within the system, finding that an appropriate noise intensity can effectively accelerate the neurons' attainment of a synchronized state. Finally, applying the chaotic synchronization system to secure Communication, the simulation results and related analysis demonstrate that the system excels in encrypting and decrypting voice signals, offering high levels of security and confidentiality.

This paper introduces a new symmetric fractional-order discrete system. The dynamics and symmetry of the suggested model are studied under two initial conditions, mainly a comparison of the commensurate order and incommensurate order maps, which highlights their effect on symmetry-breaking bifurcations. In addition, a theoretical analysis examines the stability of the zero equilibrium point. It proves that the map generates typical nonlinear features, including chaos, which is confirmed numerically: phase attractors are plotted in a two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) space, bifurcation diagrams are drawn with variations in the derivative fractional values and in the system parameters, and we calculate the Maximum Lyapunov Exponents (MLEs) associated with the bifurcation diagram. Additionally, we use the C 0 algorithm and entropy approach to measure the complexity of the chaotic symmetric fractional map. Finally, nonlinear 3D controllers are revealed to stabilize the symmetric fractional order map's states in commensurate and incommensurate cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multi-scroll chaotic systems have complex dynamic behaviors, and the multi-scroll chaotic system design and analysis of their dynamic characteristics is an open research issue. This study explores a new multi-scroll chaotic system derived from an asymptotically stable linear system and designed with a uniformly bounded controller. The main contributions of this paper are given as follows: (1) The controlled system can cause chaotic behavior with an appropriate control position and parameters values, and a new multi-scroll chaotic system is proposed using a bounded sine function controller. Meanwhile, the dynamical characteristics of the controlled system are analyzed through the stability of the equilibrium point, a bifurcation diagram, and Lyapunov exponent spectrum. (2) According to the Poincaré section, the existence of a topological horseshoe is proven using the rigorous computer-aided proof in the controlled system. (3) Numerical results of the multi-scroll chaotic system are shown using Matlab R2020b, and the circuit design is also given to verify the multi-scroll chaotic attractors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the Sprott C chaotic system is extended by a three-variable quadratic nonlinear function, which can generate two symmetric or asymmetric equilibrium points. Based on the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, the range of equilibrium stability of the system is determined. The dynamics of system are analyzed using bifurcation diagrams to obtain complex dynamical behavior of the system from period-doubling bifurcation to chaos. The hidden behavior is investigated by adjusting three parameters, and with the change of equilibrium stability, it is found that there are hidden attractors and self-excited attractors under two asymmetric equilibrium points, and only self-excited attractors under two symmetric equilibrium points. The hidden attractor of the system is verified by the cross section of attraction basins. The complexity spectrum of the system with parameter variation is calculated using the fuzzy entropy algorithm, spectral entropy (SE) algorithm, and C 0 algorithm. The system circuit is designed using Multisim software, and circuit simulation of hidden attractors and self-excited attractors are realized, consistent with MATLAB numerical simulation results.

In this paper, we consider the modified single-mode rate equations of semiconductor lasers (SCLs) wherefrom the high dimension of complex dynamics of hyperchaotic islands is studied. Detailed analytical and numerical analysis are investigated under the conjugated impact of three decisive parameters of SCL-systems most specifically, the impact of a new hyperchaotic parameter. Thereby, various quantifying dynamic methods are applied and underscore high-dimensional hyperchaotic states as well as fractal characteristics of new hyperchaotic attractors featuring an entangled central part. The high dimension of the said hyperchaos is also supported by a constructive interference of specific control parameters used which give arise to a complex dynamics of the maximum Lyapunov exponent by means of various two-parameter bifurcation diagrams. Additionally, several cross-sections of Poincaré map bring out odd folded dynamical structures and irregular truncated torus pertaining thereto. In this light, the electronic circuit of the modified model is constructed and simulated in the PSpice environment so as to further support analytical and numerical findings. Finally, controlling hyperchaos is structurally investigated, resulting in the suppression of hyperchaotic states with the generation of continuous wave emission, periodic and quasi-periodic attractors.

Cascaded H-bridge inverters, which belong to strongly nonlinear time-varying system with complex dynamics, have been widely used in high-voltage and high-power engineering fields. In this paper, a carrier phase-shifted sinusoidal pulse-width modulation cascaded H-bridge inverter is taken as an example with piecewise analysis to establish the discrete iterative mathematical model. Furthermore, the nonlinear dynamic behavior of this inverter system is investigated using folding diagrams, spectrum diagrams, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, etc. We find that this inverter can exhibit multiperiod bifurcation, tangential bifurcation and paroxysmal chaos within certain ranges of control coefficients and other circuit parameters, which will influence the system's stability seriously. On the basis of this discovery, the sinusoidal time-delay feedback control method is proposed. The difference between the load current of the controlled object and its own delay is used to form a feedback term, which is then fed into the sine function and proportional link to obtain the control term. Moreover, the Jacobian matrix of this feedback inverter system is derived, and the constraints on the feedback control coefficient are obtained based on the Jury criterion. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of such a sinusoidal time-delay feedback control method, which can improve the stability and anti-interference of the system. The research can be used to provide some reference and guidance for the circuit design, debugging and control of cascaded H-bridge inverters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper devotes to the synthesis of local and global analysis of a discrete model describing the second-order digital filter with nonlinear signal processors. The discrete model gives rise to a two-dimensional non-invertible map, whose basins of attraction have complicated topological structures due to the intrinsic multi-stability. The influences of joint parameters on the local dynamics are presented in great details. Both theoretical and numerical results are plotted on the two-dimensional parametric planes. To show more detailed bifurcation structure, the isoclines are extended to higher periodic orbits for detecting the cusps of resonant entrainments. Invariant manifolds and critical curves are employed to illustrate the global dynamics of the model vividly. The tangency and intersections of invariant manifolds expound the process of erosions of basins of attraction. The global bifurcations of basins of attraction are deduced dynamically by critical curves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present a concise four-dimensional (4D) conservative chaotic system with a wide parameter range. Since there are no terms higher than first order, the circuit does not contain multipliers, resulting in a simple circuit implementation. The nonlinear dynamic characteristics, such as phase diagrams, equilibrium points, divergence, Poincaré cross-sections, Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov dimension, are analyzed in detail, which illustrates the conservativity. Besides, the system exhibits different offset boosting behaviors. Through offset boosting, the system can propagate along a line, convert signal polarity, control variable amplitude, generate coexisting attractors, and even induce changes in its state. Specially, we realize the transition from a single-vortex attractor to a multivortex one by some changes in the initial values. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficient is used to demonstrate the higher initial value sensitivity of the system. Finally, the system is implemented through Multisim simulation and analog circuit separately, and their consistency validates the system effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study a family of one-dimensional quasi-periodically forced maps F a , b (x ,) = (f a , b (x ,) , + ω) , where x is real, is an angle, and ω is an irrational frequency, such that f a , b (x ,) is a real piecewise-linear map with respect to x of certain kind. The family depends on two real parameters, a > 0 and b > 0. For this family, we prove the existence of nonsmooth pitchfork bifurcations. For a < 1 and any b , there is only one continuous invariant curve. For a > 1 , there exists a smooth map b = b 0 (a) such that: (a) For b < b 0 (a) , f a , b has two continuous attracting invariant curves and one continuous repelling curve; (b) For b = b 0 (a) , it has one continuous repelling invariant curve and two semi-continuous (noncontinuous) attracting invariant curves that intersect the unstable one in a zero-Lebesgue measure set of angles; (c) For b > b 0 (a) , it has one continuous attracting invariant curve. The case a = 1 is a degenerate case that is also discussed in the paper. It is interesting to note that this family is a simplified version of the smooth family G a , b (x ,) = (arctan (a x) + b sin () , + ω) for which there is numerical evidence of a nonsmooth pitchfork bifurcation. Finally, we also discuss the limit case when a → ∞. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to study the use of Lambert W functions in the analysis of nonlinear dynamics and bifurcations of a new two-dimensional γ -Ricker population model. Through the use of such transcendental functions, it is possible to study the fixed points and the respective eigenvalues of this exponential diffeomorphism as analytical expressions. Consequently, the maximum number of fixed points is proved, depending on whether the Allee effect parameter γ is even or odd. In addition, the analysis of the bifurcation structure of this γ -Ricker diffeomorphism, also taking into account the parity of the Allee effect parameter, demonstrates the results established using the Lambert W functions. Numerical studies are included to illustrate the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper the bistability of a mathematical model for the control of an olive tree disease is studied. The basin of stability values were computed for three different pairs of bistable equilibrium points by using the software bSTAB. Moreover an extension of the software functionalities is made, first by approximating the shape of the attractors in three dimensions and second by extending the sensitivity study with respect to some important parameters of the numerical scheme, e.g. hyperparameters, to the two dimensional case. Analogously, the bifurcation diagram of the basin of stability values with respect to one parameter of the model was extended to the two dimensional case where two parameters of the model can vary simultaneously. Finally an approximation of the surfaces of the sensitivity analysis and bifurcation diagrams were made. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of a tethered satellite system in an elliptical orbit as the tethered subsatellite is deployed from a mother satellite at an out-of-plane angle while maintaining the tether at a constant in-plane pitch angle by a predefined control force acting on the subsatellite. A variable-length pendulum model is employed to describe the purely out-of-plane tether deployment dynamics, from which an analytical tether deployment control law is derived. The stability condition of the analytical control law is examined by Floquet theory. The corresponding analytical deployment law is asymptotically stable, and the requirement for a positive tension control input is guaranteed to ensure the controllability of the tether system. Following deployment, the critical conditions for the out-of-plane libration of the tethered subsatellite to become chaotic during the station-keeping phase are examined. Finally, simulation results reveal that the proposed approach can effectively and rapidly identify periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic motions using bifurcation diagrams, which provides valuable insights for enhancing the stability and reliability of such tethered satellite systems. • Proposed an analytical deployment law for a purely out-of-plane tethered satellite. • Revealed nonlinear phenomena of the system during the station-keeping phase. • Explored bifurcation characteristic and chaotic windows of the system.

Recently, many scholars have discovered that fractional calculus possess infinite memory and can better reflect the memory characteristics of neurons. Therefore, this paper studies the Hopf bifurcation of a fractional‐order network with short‐cut connections structure and self‐delay feedback. Firstly, we use the Laplace transform to obtain the characteristic equation of the model, which is the transcendental equation containing four times transcendental item. Secondly, by selecting the communication delay as the bifurcation parameter and the other delay as the constant in its stability interval, the conditions for the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation are established; the bifurcation diagrams are provided to ensure that the derived bifurcation findings are accurate. Thirdly, in the case of identical neurons, the crossing curves method is exploited to the fractional‐order functional function equation to extract the Hopf bifurcation curve. Finally, two numerical examples are employed to confirm the efficiency of the developed theoretical outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the characteristics of absolute value memristors are verified through the circuit implementation and construction of a chaotic system with a conditional symmetric fractional-order memristor. The dynamic behavior of fractional-order memristor systems is explored using fractional-order calculus theory and the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). Concurrently, the investigation probes into the existence of coexisting symmetric attractors, multiple coexisting bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponent spectra (LEs) utilizing system parameters as variables. Additionally, the system demonstrates an intriguing phenomenon known as offset boosting, where the embedding of an offset can adjust the position and size of the system's attractors. To ensure the practical applicability of these findings, a fractional-order sliding mode synchronization control scheme, inspired by integer-order sliding mode theory, is designed. The rationality and feasibility of this scheme are validated through a theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
