• Chaos theory is used to eliminate differences in the feature distribution of images with different modalities. • We propose a structure-aware feature extraction method to retain more features at the detail layer. • In this paper, proportional integral differential (PID) control is introduced into the fusion process. • Fusion experiments and object detection experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method. Differences in the imaging mechanisms of infrared and visible light images lead to differences in the way their visually meaningful gradients are formed. Existing fusion methods use the same feature extractor to extract features from the source video frames, which ignores the differences in the gradients of video frames from different modalities. In this paper, we propose an infrared and visible light video fusion method based on chaos theory and proportional integral differential (PID) control. Firstly, for the Lorentz chaotic system, we give it initial values and parameters, and iterate it to obtain three scrambling sequences, through which the source video frames are scrambled in the rows, columns, and diagonal directions respectively to eliminate their visually meaningful gradients, so that the features extracted are of comparable scales in the same layer, and the fusion process can be carried out in the scale-consistent space. Second, we propose a structure-aware relative total variation feature extraction method (saRTV) for the two-scale decomposition of source video frames, which can transfer more features of source video frames to the detail layer. Then, based on our previous work, this paper introduces PID control to construct a closed-loop control system through transfer function design, controller design and measurement function design. This control system is used to fuse the detail layer, so as to realize the real-time guidance of the source video frames to the fusion process. Experiments on public datasets demonstrate that our method has better performance compared to some state-of-the-art methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nonlinear kinetic energy harvesters are becoming more and more popular as well as advanced and efficient. This paper presents the study of the dynamics of such a system in a wide range of excitation parameters, assuming at the same time the possibility of a cyclical and smooth change of the potential function. We have designed a system that allows to obtain a wide spectrum of potential characteristics, from a single well to a three-well system, and we have analyzed its effectiveness. Next, we checked the influence of parameters characterizing the change of potential using bifurcation diagrams and their comparison with the effective voltage values. We also analyzed the behavior of the system in chaotic and periodic motion zones and presented selected sections of Poincare and Fourier amplitude-frequency spectra of chaotic solutions. The last element of the analysis was the impact of cyclic potential change on coexisting solutions. We have shown that the best effectiveness is achieved when the frequency of the external load is equal to the resonant frequency of the flexible cantilever beam and the change of potential is limited to extreme positions. • A new way of the potential function dynamic change in EH was proposed. • EH effectiveness analysis was made for chaotic and periodic motion zones. • Influence of the range and frequency of potential changes on the dynamics of the system was checked.

Memory resistor, or memristor, has been realized as a discrete electronic device and has a perspective application in the field of cryptography. The physical implementation of the memristor in chaotic circuits has been scarcely explored. In this paper, a memristor is fabricated by spin-coating a cobalt ferrite precursor on a processed silicon and is then electro-sputtered with silver to act as the anode with the base silicon as the cathode. This fabrication process has a scalability potential in conjunction with integrated circuit fabrication techniques and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies. The fabricated cobalt ferrite memristor has shown a ratio between the on and off resistance of >1000 and has been implemented in a chaotic Chua's circuit, making it one of few physical implementations of a physical memristor in a physical circuit. The analysis and characterization of this circuit using bifurcation diagrams and Lyapunov exponent prove the chaotic behavior of a real Chua's circuit. This chaotic behavior can be useful in chaotic cryptography as nonperiodic oscillations can be leveraged to make sensitive information more difficult to interpret by bad actors. [Display omitted] • A memristor is constructed on silicon to make fabrication process more scalable. • The memristor consists of spin-coated cobalt ferrite layer with active electrodes. • The memristor is implemented in Chua's circuit that exhibits chaotic behavior. • Chaotic behavior is proven with bifurcation and Lyapunov exponent analysis.

The accurate prediction of digging load serves as a fundamental cornerstone for advancing the development of intelligent and unmanned excavators. Given the complex nonlinear dynamics of digging load, this paper proposes a novel prediction model for excavator load power based on the chaos theory and support vector regression (SVR). The presence of chaos in the dynamic digging load system is detected through phase space reconstruction. SVR is utilized for nonparametric modeling and prediction, with the reconstructed phase space capturing the essential characteristics of excavator load and serving as inputs for SVR. To optimize the hyperparameters, an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm is presented. Excavation experiments conducted under two typical load conditions demonstrate the superiority of the proposed chaos-based IPSO-SVR model in terms of prediction accuracy. This research lays a solid foundation for practical load prediction in industrial excavator settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Synchronization of satellite systems offers numerous advantages, including cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and extended area coverage. However, the presence of chaotic behavior in such systems poses substantial challenges. This paper investigates chaos in satellite systems and proposes a novel approach - the Novel Integral Terminal Sliding Mode (NITSM) controller - specifically designed for synchronizing the angular velocities of chaotic Leader-Follower satellite systems. The NITSM controller leverages limited-time features to eliminate chattering and exhibits remarkable robustness against external disturbances such as cosmic rays and solar storms. MATLAB simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, comparing the synchronization error of the NITSM controller with a common approach. The results demonstrate the superior performance of the Novel Integral Terminal Sliding Mode controller, showcasing reduced response time, robust behavior, and a substantial six-fold reduction in angular velocity synchronization error.

• The dynamic model of axially moving piezoelectric rectangular thin plate in thermal-electric-mechanical field is established. • The coupling relationship between thermal-electric-mechanical field and elastic deformation of thin plate are considered. • The influence mechanism on the resonance amplitude under the effects of thermal, force, electric and damping coefficients are clarified. In this paper, the combination resonance of parametric-forced excitation characteristics for an axially moving rectangular piezoelectric plate under a thermal-electromechanical field is studied. Based on Kirchhoff-Love plate theory and Von Karman theory, the transverse vibration governing equations are derived from Hamilton's principle. The equations are discretized to ordinary differential equations by the Galerkin method. Then, the multiple scales method is applied to solve the system combination resonance equation, two different resonance states and corresponding amplitude-frequency response equations are obtained by eliminating the secular term, respectively. Additionally, the stability of the steady-state responses is analyzed by Lyapunov stability. Based on the numerical analysis, the influence of axial velocity, external voltage, central temperature difference, structural damping, and other parameters on nonlinear combination resonance response are investigated. The effect of parameter variation on period-doubling bifurcation and the chaotic motion of the system are also discussed by the system global bifurcation diagram. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the stochastic dynamics of a class of nonlinear ship rolling motion with multiplicative noise under both displacement and velocity delay feedback controls. The I t o ˆ -stochastic differential equation for the amplitude and phase of the roll motion is derived using the stochastic center manifold method and stochastic average method. Subsequently, the stochastic stability and bifurcation behaviors of the system are analyzed. Furthermore, using the stationary probability density method, we derive the parameter conditions for the occurrence of stochastic D -bifurcation and stochastic P -bifurcation. We also analyze the properties and shape changes of the system's probability density function under different parameters through numerical simulation. It has been determined that the system exhibits stochastic bifurcation behavior, specifically P -bifurcation and D -bifurcation. The validity of the method is verified by a numerical model. The theoretical chaos threshold of the system is determined using the random Melnikov method, and the impact of delayed feedback parameters on the chaotic motion of the system is analyzed by combining the bifurcation diagram, phase portrait, and time series. • We investigate the stochastic dynamics of a class of nonlinear ship rolling motion with multiplicative noise under both displacement and velocity delay feedback controls. • The Ito-stochastic differential equation for the amplitude and phase of the roll motion is derived using the stochastic center manifold method and stochastic average method. • Using the stationary probability density method, we derive the parameter conditions for the occurrence of stochastic D-bifurcation and stochastic P-bifurcation. • The theoretical chaos threshold is determined using the random Melnikov method.

This paper considers system identification (ID) of linear and nonlinear non-autonomous systems from noisy and sparse data. We analyze an optimization objective derived from Bayesian inference for the dynamics of hidden Markov models. We then relate this objective to that used in several state-of-the-art approaches for both linear and nonlinear system ID. In the former, we analyze least squares approaches for Markov parameter estimation, and in the latter, we analyze the multiple shooting approach. We demonstrate the limitations of the optimization problems posed by these existing methods by showing that they can be seen as special cases of the proposed optimization objective under certain simplifying assumptions: conditional independence of data and zero model error. Furthermore, we observe that the proposed approach has improved smoothness and inherent regularization that make it well-suited for system ID and provide mathematical explanations for these characteristics' origins. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate a mean squared error over 8.7 times lower compared to multiple shooting when data are noisy and/or sparse. Moreover, the proposed approach identifies accurate and generalizable models even when there are more parameters than data or when the system exhibits chaotic behavior. • Modeling of model uncertainty with process noise leads to inherent regularization. • Process noise induces objective function smoothness similarly to multiple shooting. • Certain Markov parameter estimation methods treat data as conditionally independent. • Bayesian system ID outperforms state-of-the-art methods on small, noisy datasets.

In this paper, a three-dimensional conservative system is proposed. By analyzing the Hamiltonian energy, it is concluded that it is a non-Hamiltonian conservative system. By changing the values of the parameters b, c, the system presents different attractors. Then, by studying the multiple attractors coexisting of the system under different initial values, it can be found that the system has rich coexistence phenomena by changing the parameters. There are various types of coexistence of systems with chaos and chaos coexistence, periods and periods coexistence and chaos and periods coexistence. In addition, the offset-boosting under parameter control is studied by phase diagram. By studying the complexity of the system at two different initial values, the more complex initial value is chosen as the initial state when the system is synchronized. The analog simulation circuit is implemented using Multisim, the actual digital circuit is implemented with field programmable gate array (FPGA). The Matlab phase diagram, the numerical simulation results and the simulated circuit all agree well, proving the feasibility of the new system. Finally, the system is applied to backstepping synchronization, which lays a foundation for the realization of engineering application. • In this paper, a three-dimensional conservative system is proposed.

This paper investigates n -scrambled sets in the sense of distribution and Li-Yorke, focusing on the equivalence of n -scrambled sets and the existence of uncountable n -scrambled sets. For the equivalence, n -scrambled sets can imply m -scrambled sets in both senses for any 2 ≤ m < n , but their inverses require certain conditions to hold. A method is provided for constructing an uncountable n -scrambled set in the distribution and Li-Yorke senses, which also verifies the equivalence between n -scrambled sets. For the existence, it is shown that distributionally n -scrambled tuples can be derived from the weak specification property (WSP), a 1-periodic and a non-1-periodic point. And the Li-Yorke (n + 1)-scrambled tuple can be characterized by an n -scrambled tuple utilizing the SP. Finally, the uncountable Li-Yorke n -scrambled set is established based on the weak mixing, and the uncountable mean Li-Yorke n -scrambled set is induced by the shadowing and Devaney chaos. • Obtain the equivalence between n -scrambled sets in the distribution and Li-York sense. • Provide a method for constructing an uncountable n -scrambled set in two chaotic senses. • Establish criteria for the existence of n -scrambled set and n -scrambled tuple. • Present a method to induce an n -scrambled tuple by weak specification property. • Build a connection between global and local chaotic behaviors of a dynamical system.
