In recent years, a class of nonlinear stochastic optimal control strategies were developed by the present author and his co-workers for minimizing the response, stabilization and maximizing the reliability and mean first-passage time of quasi Hamiltonian systems based on the stochastic averaging method for quasi Hamiltonian systems and the stochastic dynamic programming principle. This review summaries the basic idea, procedures and applications of these strategies and pointes out necessary further work.

AbstractBrain rhythms recorded in vivo, such as gamma oscillations, are notoriously variable both in amplitude and frequency. They are characterized by transient epochs of higher amplitude known as bursts. It has been suggested that, despite their short-life and random occurrence, bursts in gamma and other rhythms can efficiently contribute to working memory or communication tasks. Abnormalities in bursts have also been associated with e.g. motor and psychiatric disorders. It is thus crucial to understand how single cell and connectivity parameters influence burst statistics and the corresponding brain states. To address this problem, we consider a generic stochastic recurrent network of Pyramidal Interneuron Network Gamma (PING) type. Using the stochastic averaging method, we derive dynamics for the phase and envelope of the amplitude process, and find that they depend on only two meta-parameters that combine all the model parameters. This allows us to identify an optimal parameter regime of healthy variability with similar statistics to those seen in vivo; in this regime, oscillations and bursts are supported by synaptic noise. The probability density for the rhythm’s envelope as well as the mean burst duration are then derived using first passage time analysis. Our analysis enables us to link burst attributes, such as duration and frequency content, to system parameters. Our general approach can be extended to different frequency bands, network topologies and extra populations. It provides the much needed insight into the biophysical determinants of rhythm burst statistics, and into what needs to be changed to correct rhythms with pathological statistics.

The first-passage failure of quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems (multidegree-of-freedom integrable Hamiltonian systems subject to light dampings and weakly random excitations) is investigated. The motion equations of such a system are first reduced to a set of averaged Ito^ stochastic differential equations by using the stochastic averaging method for quasi-integrable Hamitonian systems. Then, a backward Kolmogorov equation governing the conditional reliability function and a set of generalized Pontryagin equations governing the conditional moments of first-passage time are established. Finally, the conditional reliability function, and the conditional probability density and moments of first-passage time are obtained by solving these equations with suitable initial and boundary conditions. Two examples are given to illustrate the proposed procedure and the results from digital simulation are obtained to verify the effectiveness of the procedure.

AbstractWe use stochastic dynamics to develop the patterned attractor of a non-local extended system. This is done analytically using the stochastic path perturbation approach scheme, where a theory of perturbation in the small noise parameter is introduced to analyze the random escape of the stochastic field from the unstable state. Emphasis is placed on the specific mode selection that these types of systems exhibit. Concerning the stochastic propagation of the front we have carried out Monte Carlo simulations which coincide with our theoretical predictions.

In this paper, we develop a definite tumor-immune model considering Allee effect. The deterministic model is studied qualitatively by mathematical analysis method, including the positivity, boundness, and local stability of the solution. In addition, we explore the effect of random factors on the transition of the tumor-immune system from a stable coexistence equilibrium point to a stable tumor-free equilibrium point. Based on the method of stochastic averaging, we obtain the expressions of the steady-state probability density and the mean first-passage time. And we find that the Allee effect has the greatest impact on the number of cells in the system when the Allee threshold value is within a certain range; the intensity of random factors could affect the likelihood of the system crossing from the coexistence equilibrium to the tumor-free equilibrium.

In the present paper, the phenomenon of noise-induced chaos in a piecewise linear system that is excited by Gaussian white noise is investigated. Firstly, the global dynamical behaviors of the deterministic piecewise linear system are investigated numerically in advance by using the generalized cell-mapping digraph (GCMD) method. Then, based on these global properties, the system that is excited by Gaussian white noise is introduced. Then, it is simplified by the stochastic averaging method, through which, a four-dimensional averaged Itô system is finally obtained. In order to reveal the phenomenon of noise-induced chaos quantitatively, MFPT (the mean first-passage time) is selected as the measure. The expression for MFPT is formulated by using the singular perturbation method and then a rather simple representation is obtained via the Laplace approximation, and within which, the concept of quasi-potential is introduced. Furthermore, with the rays method, the MFPT under a certain set of parameters is estimated. However, within the process of analysis, the authors had to face a difficult problem concerning the ill-conditioned matrix, which is the obstacle for the estimation of MFPT, which was then solved by applying one more approximation. Finally, the result is compared with the numerical one that is obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation.

AbstractIn the present survey, some progress in the stochastic dynamics and fractional optimal control of quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems with fractional derivative damping is reviewed. First, the stochastic averaging method for quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems with fractional derivative damping under various random excitations is briefly introduced. Then, the stochastic stability, stochastic bifurcation, first passage time and reliability, and stochastic fractional optimal control of the systems studied by using the stochastic averaging method are summarized. The focus is placed on the effects of fractional derivative order on the dynamics and control of the systems. Finally, some possible extensions are pointed out.
