This paper analyzes the stability of a two-DoF system, subject to PD digital position control. In the model the control force is considered piecewise constant. Introducing the nonlinearity related to the saturation of the control force, the bifurcations occurring in the system are analyzed. The system is generally loosing stability through Neimark-Sacker bifurcations, with a relatively simple dynamics. However, the interaction of two different Neimark-Sacker bifurcations steers the system to much more complicated behaviors. About this kind of bifurcation, namely double Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, there are very few studies in the literature. Our analysis is carried out using the method proposed by Kuznetsov. The performed investigation shows the appearance of quasiperiodic motions and the existence of regions with coexisting periodic stable attractors, in the space of the control gains. Numerical simulations validate the results obtained analytically.

Precision and stability in position control of robots are critical parameters in many industrial applications where high accuracy is needed. It is well known that digital effect is destabilizing and can cause instabilities. In this paper, we analyze a single DoF model of a robotic arm and we present the stability limits in the parameter space of the control gains. Furthermore we introduce a nonlinearity relative to the saturation of the control force in the model, reduce the dynamics of the nonlinear map to its local center manifold, study the bifurcation along the stability border and identify conditions under which a supercritical or subcritical bifurcation occurs. The obtained results explain some of the typical instabilities occurring in industrial applications. We verify the obtained results through numerical simulations.

The local reaction-diffusion Lengyel-Epstein system with delay is investigated. By choosingτas bifurcating parameter, we show that Hopf bifurcations occur when time delay crosses a critical value. Moreover, we derive the equation describing the flow on the center manifold; then we give the formula for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to support the analytical results and the chaotic behaviors are observed.

A generic Turing type reaction–diffusion system derived from the Taylor expansion near a constant equilibrium is analyzed. The existence of Hopf bifurcations and steady state bifurcations is obtained. The bifurcation direction and the stability of the bifurcating periodic obits are calculated. Numerical simulations are included to show the rich spatiotemporal dynamics.

In this paper, the dynamic properties for a Brusselator-type system with diffusion are investigated. By employing the theory of Hopf bifurcation for ordinary and partial differential equations, we mainly obtain some conditions of the stability and Hopf bifurcation for the ODE system, diffusion-driven instability of the equilibrium solution, and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions for the PDE system. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to verify our results.

In this paper, a model with time delay describing biodegradation of Microcystins (MCs) is investigated. Firstly, the stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcations are obtained. Furthermore, an explicit algorithm for determining the direction and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived by using the normal form theory and center manifold argument. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the applications of the results.

Numerical simulations reveal that a single-stage differential boost AC module supplied from a PV module under an Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control at the input DC port and with current synchronization at the AC grid port might exhibit bifurcation phenomena under some weather conditions leading to subharmonic oscillation at the fast-switching scale. This paper will use discrete-time approach to characterize such behavior and to identify the onset of fast-scale instability. Slope compensation is used in the inner current loop to improve the stability of the system. The compensation slope values needed to guarantee stability for the full range of operating duty cycle and leading to an optimal deadbeat response are determined. The validity of the followed procedures is finally validated by a numerical simulations performed on a detailed circuit-level switched model of the AC module.

In this research, a continuous nutrient-phytoplankton model with time delay and Michaelis–Menten functional response is discretized to a spatiotemporal discrete model. Around the homogeneous steady state of the discrete model, Neimark–Sacker bifurcation and Turing bifurcation analysis are investigated. Based on the bifurcation analysis, numerical simulations are carried out on the formation of spatiotemporal patterns. Simulation results show that the diffusion of phytoplankton and nutrients can induce the formation of Turing-like patterns, while time delay can also induce the formation of cloud-like pattern by Neimark–Sacker bifurcation. Compared with the results generated by the continuous model, more types of patterns are obtained and are compared with real observed patterns.

ABSTRACT This work investigates the possibility of close binary (CB) star systems having Earth-size planets within their habitable zones (HZs). First, we selected all known CB systems with confirmed planets (totaling 22 systems) to calculate the boundaries of their respective HZs. However, only eight systems had all the data necessary for the computation of HZ. Then, we numerically explored the stability within HZs for each one of the eight systems using test particles. From the results, we selected five systems that have stable regions inside HZs, namely Kepler-34,35,38,413, and 453. For these five cases of systems with stable regions in HZ, we perform a series of numerical simulations for planet formation considering discs composed of planetary embryos and planetesimals, with two distinct density profiles, in addition to the stars and host planets of each system. We found that in the case of the Kepler-34 and 453 systems, no Earth-size planet is formed within HZs. Although planets with Earth-like masses were formed in Kepler-453, they were outside HZ. In contrast, for the Kepler-35 and 38 systems, the results showed that potentially habitable planets are formed in all simulations. In the case of the Kepler-413system, in just one simulation, a terrestrial planet was formed within HZ.
