This paper provides a comprehensive numerical analysis of a simple 2D model of running, the spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP). The model consists of a point-mass attached to a massless spring leg; the leg angle at touch-down is fixed during the motion. We employ numerical continuation methods combined with extensive simulations to find all periodic motions of this model, determine their stability, and compute the basins of attraction of the stable solutions. The result is a detailed and complete analysis of all possible SLIP model behavior, which expands upon and unifies a range of prior studies. In particular, we demonstrate and explain the following effects: (i) saddle-node bifurcations, which lead to two distinct solution families for a range of energies and touch-down angles; (ii) period-doubling (PD) bifurcations which lead to chaotic behavior of the model; and (iii) fractal structures within the basins of attraction. In contrast to prior work, these effects are found in a single model with a single set of parameters while taking into account the full nonlinear dynamics of the SLIP model.

The Lorenz system has attracted increasing attention on the issue of its simplification in order to produce the simplest three-dimensional chaotic systems suitable for secure information processing. Meanwhile, Sprott’s work on elegant chaos has revealed a set of 19 chaotic systems all described by simple algebraic equations. This paper presents a new piecewise-linear chaotic system emerging from the simplification of the Lorenz system combined with the elegance of Sprott systems. Unlike the majority, the new system is a non-Shilnikov chaotic system with two nonhyperbolic equilibria. It is multiplier-free, variable-boostable and exclusively based on absolute value and signum nonlinearities. The use of familiar tools such as Lyapunov exponents spectra, bifurcation diagrams, frequency power spectra as well as Poincaré map help to demonstrate its chaotic behavior. The novel system exhibits inverse period doubling bifurcations and multistability. It has only five terms, one bifurcation parameter and a total amplitude controller. These features allow a simple and low cost electronic implementation. The adaptive synchronization of the novel system is investigated and the corresponding electronic circuit is presented to confirm its feasibility.

AbstractChaotic phenomena are observed in several practical and scientific fields; however, the chaos is harmful to systems as they can lead them to be unstable. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to analyze the bifurcation of permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) motor and develop a controller that can suppress chaotic behavior resulted from parameter variation such as the loading effect. The nonlinear behaviors of PMDC motors were investigated by time-domain waveform, phase portrait, and Floquet theory. By varying the load torque, a period-doubling bifurcation appeared which in turn led to chaotic behavior in the system. So, a fuzzy logic controller and developing the Floquet theory techniques are applied to eliminate the bifurcation and the chaos effects. The controller is used to enhance the performance of the system by getting a faster response without overshoot or oscillation, moreover, tends to reduce the steady-state error while maintaining its stability. The simulation results emphasize that fuzzy control provides better performance than that obtained from the other controller.

In this work, we study the dynamics of a three-dimensional, continuous, piecewise smooth map. Much of the nontrivial dynamics of this map occur when its fixed point or periodic orbit hits the switching manifold resulting in the so-called border collision bifurcation. We study the local and global bifurcation phenomena resulting from such borderline collisions. The conditions for the occurrence of nonsmooth period-doubling, saddle-node, and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations are derived. We show that dangerous border collision bifurcation can also occur in this map. Global bifurcations arise in connection with the occurrence of nonsmooth Neimark–Sacker bifurcation by which a spiral attractor turns into a saddle focus. The global dynamics are systematically explored through the computation of resonance tongues and numerical continuation of mode-locked invariant circles. We demonstrate the transition to chaos through the breakdown of mode-locked torus by degenerate period-doubling bifurcation, homoclinic tangency, etc. We show that in this map a mode-locked torus can be transformed into a quasiperiodic torus if there is no global bifurcation.

The Brusselator reaction–diffusion model is a paradigm for the understanding of dissipative structures in systems out of equilibrium. In the first part of this paper, we investigate the formation of stationary localized structures in the Brusselator model. By using numerical continuation methods in two spatial dimensions, we establish a bifurcation diagram showing the emergence of localized spots. We characterize the transition from a single spot to an extended pattern in the form of squares. In the second part, we incorporate delayed feedback control and show that delayed feedback can induce a spontaneous motion of both localized and periodic dissipative structures. We characterize this motion by estimating the threshold and the velocity of the moving dissipative structures. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Dissipative structures in matter out of equilibrium: from chemistry, photonics and biology (part 2)’.

We study the dynamics of targeted energy transfers in suppressing chatter instability in a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) machine tool system. The nonlinear regenerative (time-delayed) cutting force is a main source of machine tool vibrations (chatter). We introduce an ungrounded nonlinear energy sink (NES) coupled to the tool, by which energy transfers from the tool to the NES and efficient dissipation can be realized during chatter. Studying variations of a transition curve with respect to the NES parameters, we analytically show that the location of the Hopf bifurcation point is influenced only by the NES mass and damping coefficient. We demonstrate that application of a well-designed NES renders the subcritical limit cycle oscillations (LCOs) into supercritical ones, followed by Neimark–Sacker and saddle-node bifurcations, which help to increase the stability margin in machining. Numerical and asymptotic bifurcation analyses are performed and three suppression mechanisms are identified. The asymptotic stability analysis is performed to study the domains of attraction for these suppression mechanisms which exhibit good agreement with the bifurcations sets obtained from the numerical continuation methods. The results will help to design nonlinear energy sinks for passive control of regenerative instabilities in machining.

This paper analyzes the role of nonlinear dissipation on the universal escape oscillator. Nonlinear damping terms proportional to the power of the velocity are assumed and an investigation on its effects on the dynamics of the oscillator, such as the threshold of period-doubling bifurcation, fractal basin boundaries and how the basins of attraction are destroyed, is carried out. The results suggest that increasing the power of the nonlinear damping, has similar effects as of decreasing the damping coefficient for a linearly damped case, showing the very importance of the level or amount of energy dissipation.

We develop an asset pricing model based on the interaction of heterogeneous trading groups. In addition to the two main trader groups, fundamentalists and trend-chasing chartists, we include a third significant group known as contrarian chartists. We model the case of opportunistic contrarian behavior, where the contrarian group disagrees with the trend-chasing chartists only when the return differential is high. We also consider absolute contrarian behavior, in which the contrarians consistently disagree with trend-chasers. The models are nonlinear planar maps, exhibiting period doubling, Neimark–Sacker and global bifurcations leading to local chaotic behavior. Absolute contrarian behavior is found to have a moderating effect on price change, while opportunistic contrarian behavior is found to further complicate the price cycles present in other models.

Selective harvesting plays an important role on the dynamics of predator-prey interaction. On the other hand, the effect of predator self-limitation contributes remarkably to the stabilization of exploitative interactions. Keeping in view the selective harvesting and predator self-limitation, a discrete-time predator-prey model is discussed. Existence of fixed points and their local dynamics is explored for the proposed discrete-time model. Explicit principles of Neimark–Sacker bifurcation and period-doubling bifurcation are used for discussion related to bifurcation analysis in the discrete-time predator-prey system. The control of chaotic behavior is discussed with the help of methods related to state feedback control and parameter perturbation. At the end, some numerical examples are presented for verification and illustration of theoretical findings.
