In this paper, an adaptive generalised function projective synchronisation scheme of fractional-order chaotic systems with different dimensions and orders and fully unknown parameters is presented. On the basis of the Lyapunov method of fractional-order systems, a stability theorem of the fractional-order system with non-identical orders is proven. Using the fractional-order controller and adaptive control theory, sufficient conditions for synchronisation and unknown parameters update rules are obtained. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are provided to verify the validity of the proposed scheme. Moreover, synchronisation results are applied to secure communication via modified chaotic masking (MCM) method. The unpredictability of the scaling function matrix and the use of fractional-order systems with different orders can increase the security of the cryptosystem. The security analysis shows that the introduced algorithm has large key space, high sensitivity to encryption keys, higher security and the acceptable encryption speed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study the waiting-time distributions in cyclic polling models with renewal arrivals, general service and switch-over times, and exhaustive service at each of the queues. The assumption of renewal arrivals prohibits an exact analysis and reduces the available analytic results to heavy-traffic asymptotics, limiting results for large switch-over times and large numbers of queues, and some numerical algorithms. Motivated by this, the goal of this paper is to propose a new method for deriving simple closed-form approximations for the complete waiting-time distributions that work well for arbitrary load values. Extensive simulation results show that the approximations are highly accurate over a wide range of parameter settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we construct a group of Saul'yev type asymmetric difference formulas for the dispersive equation. Based on these formulas we derive a new alternating 6-point group algorithm to solve dispersive equations with periodic boundary conditions. The algorithm has a high-order accuracy in space and an unconditional stability. The theoretical results are conformed to the numerical simulation. A comparison of this algorithm with the previous Alternating Group Explicit method is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
