The microcontroller implementation, chaos control, synchronization, and antisynchronization of the nonlinear resistive-capacitive-inductive shunted Josephson junction (NRCISJJ) model are reported in this paper. The dynamical behavior of the NRCISJJ model is performed using phase portraits, and time series. The numerical simulation results reveal that the NRCISJJ model exhibits different shapes of hidden chaotic attractors by varying the parameters. The existence of different shapes of hidden chaotic attractors is confirmed by microcontroller results obtained from the microcontroller implementation of the NRCISJJ model. It is theoretically demonstrated that the two designed single controllers can suppress the hidden chaotic attractors found in the NRCISJJ model. Finally, the synchronization and antisynchronization of unidirectional coupled NRCISJJ models are studied by using the feedback control method.  Thanks to the Routh Hurwitz stability criterion, the controllers are designed in order to control chaos in JJ models and achieved synchronization and antisynchronization between coupled NRCISJJ models. Numerical simulations are shown to clarify and confirm the control, synchronization, and antisynchronization.

This research investigates the behavior of square concrete columns externally wrapped by low-cost and easily available fiber rope reinforced polymer (FRRP) composites. This study mainly aims to explore the axial stress-strain relationships of FRRP-confined square columns. Another objective is to assess suitable predictive models for the ultimate strength and strain of FRRP-confined square columns. A total of 60 square concrete columns were cast, strengthened, and tested under compression. The parameters were the corner radii of square columns (0, 13, and 26 mm) and different materials of FRRP composites (polyester, hemp, and cotton FRRP composites). The strength and deformability of FRRP-confined specimens were observed to be higher than the unconfined specimens. It was observed that strength gains of FRRP-confined concrete columns and corner radii were directly proportional. The accuracy of ultimate strength and strain models developed for synthetic FRRP-confined square columns was assessed using the test results of this study, showing the need for the development of improved predictive models for FRRP-confined square columns. Newly developed unified models were found to be accurate in predicting the ultimate strength and strain of FRRP-confined columns.

This paper presents an active backstepping design method for synchronization and anti-synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic Chen systems. The proposed control method, combining backstepping design and active control approach, extends the application of backstepping technique in chaos control. Based on this method, different combinations of controllers can be designed to meet the needs of different applications. Numerical simulations are shown to verify the results.

We have built an experimental setup to apply Pyragas’s [1992, 1993] control method in order to stabilize unstable periodic orbits (UPO) in Chua’s circuit. We have been able to control low period UPO embedded in the double scroll attractor. However, experimental results show that the control method is useful under some restrictions we will discuss.

The timing of interventions plays a central role in managing and exploiting biological populations. However, few studies in the literature have addressed its effect on population stability. The Seno equation is a discrete-time equation that describes the dynamics of single-species populations harvested according to the proportional feedback method at any moment between two consecutive censuses. Here we study a discrete-time equation that generalizes the Seno equation by considering the management and exploitation of populations through the target-oriented chaos control method. We investigate the combined effect of timing, targeting, and control on population stability, focusing on global stability. We prove that high enough control values create a positive equilibrium that attracts all positive solutions. We also prove that it is possible to determine parameter values to stabilize the controlled populations at any preset population size. Finally, we investigate the parameter combinations for which the management and exploitation are optimized in different scenarios.

We study the dynamics of a nonlinear discrete-time duopoly game, where the players have homogenous knowledge on the market demand and decide their outputs based on adaptive expectation. The Nash equilibrium and its local stability are investigated. The numerical simulation results show that the model may exhibit chaotic phenomena. Quasiperiodicity is also found by setting the parameters at specific values. The system can be stabilized to a stable state by using delayed feedback control method. The discussion of control strategy shows that the effect of both firms taking control method is better than that of single firm taking control method.

In this paper, bifurcations and chaos control in a discrete-time Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model have been studied in quadrant-[Formula: see text]. It is shown that for all parametric values, model has boundary equilibria: [Formula: see text], and the unique positive equilibrium point: [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text]. By Linearization method, we explored the local dynamics along with different topological classifications about equilibria. We also explored the boundedness of positive solution, global dynamics, and existence of prime-period and periodic points of the model. It is explored that flip bifurcation occurs about boundary equilibria: [Formula: see text], and also there exists a flip bifurcation when parameters of the discrete-time model vary in a small neighborhood of [Formula: see text]. Further, it is also explored that about [Formula: see text] the model undergoes a N–S bifurcation, and meanwhile a stable close invariant curves appears. From the perspective of biology, these curves imply that between predator and prey populations, there exist periodic or quasi-periodic oscillations. Some simulations are presented to illustrate not only main results but also reveals the complex dynamics such as the orbits of period-2,3,13,15,17 and 23. The Maximum Lyapunov exponents as well as fractal dimension are computed numerically to justify the chaotic behaviors in the model. Finally, feedback control method is applied to stabilize chaos existing in the model.
