Supercavity can increase speed of underwater vehicles greatly. However, external interferences always lead to instability of vehicles. This paper focuses on robustness of supercavitating vehicles. Based on a 4-dimensional dynamic model, the existence of multistability is verified in supercavitating system through simulation, and the robustness of vehicles varying with parameters is analyzed by basins of attraction. Results of the research disclose that the supercavitating system has three stable states in some regions of parameters space, namely, stable, periodic, and chaotic states, while in other regions it has various multistability, such as coexistence of two types of stable equilibrium points, coexistence of a limit cycle with a chaotic attractor, and coexistence of 1-periodic cycle with 2-periodic cycle. Provided that cavitation number varies within a small range, with increase of the feedback control gain of fin deflection angle, size of basin of attraction becomes smaller and robustness of the system becomes weaker. In practical application, robustness of supercavitating vehicles can be improved by setting parameters of system or adjusting initial launching conditions.

Little attention has been paid in the past to the effects of interunit transmission delays (representing a xonal and synaptic delays) ontheboundary of the basin of attraction of stable equilibrium points in neural networks. As a first step toward a better understanding of the influence of delay, we study the dynamics of a single graded-response neuron with a delayed excitatory self-connection. The behavior of this system is representative of that of a family of networks composed of graded-response neurons in which most trajectories converge to stable equilibrium points for any delay value. It is shown that changing the delay modifies the “location” of the boundary of the basin of attraction of the stable equilibrium points without affecting the stability of the equilibria. The dynamics of trajectories on the boundary are also delay dependent and influence the transient regime of trajectories within the adjacent basins. Our results suggest that when dealing with networks with delay, it is important to study not only the effect of the delay on the asymptotic convergence of the system but also on the boundary of the basins of attraction of the equilibria.

The Chua Corsage Memristor is the simplest example of a passive but locally active memristor endowed with two asymptotically stable equilibrium points [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] when powered by an E-volt battery, where [Formula: see text]. The basin of attraction is defined by [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. By adding an inductor of appropriate value [Formula: see text] in series with the battery, the resulting circuit undergoes a supercritical Hopf bifurcation and becomes an oscillator for [Formula: see text]. Applying a sinusoidal voltage source [Formula: see text] across the Chua corsage memristor, one finds two distinct coexisting stable periodic responses, depicted by their associated pinched hysteresis loops, of the same frequency [Formula: see text] whose basin of attraction is defined by [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], respectively, where [Formula: see text] depends on both amplitude A and frequency f. An in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the above global nonlinear phenomena is presented using tools from nonlinear circuit theory, such as Chua’s dynamic route method, and from nonlinear dynamics, such as phase portrait analysis and bifurcation theory.

In this paper, a discrete-time dynamic duopoly model, with nonlinear demand and cost functions, is established. The properties of existence and local stability of equilibrium points have been verified and analyzed. The stability conditions are also given with the help of the Jury criterion. With changing of the values of parameters, the system shows some new and interesting phenomena in terms to stability and multistability, such as V-shaped stable structures (also called Isoperiodic Stable Structures) and different shape basins of attraction of coexisting attractors. The eye-shaped structures appear where the period-doubling and period-halving bifurcations occur. Finally, by utilizing critical curves, the changes in the topological structure of basin of attraction and the reason of “holes” formation are analyzed. As a result, the generation of global bifurcation, such as contact bifurcation or final bifurcation, is usually accompanied by the contact of critical curves and boundary.

We study a time-delayed feedback control for initiating period-1 rotations of a vertically excited parametric pendulum from arbitrary initial conditions. The possibility of controlling the direction of rotation has also been explored. We start with a simple linear time-delayed control for which the control gain corresponding to the most stable period-1 rotation has been obtained using the Floquet theory. This control increases the basins of attraction of rotations, but they do not encompass the full initial condition space. We modify our control law by using a switched control gain that destabilizes all the oscillatory solutions, and the entire initial condition space becomes the basin of attraction of either the clockwise or the anticlockwise rotation. By a suitable modification of the switching condition, we can choose a preferential stable direction of rotation. Hence, we can initiate either clockwise or anticlockwise rotation for a parametric pendulum from arbitrary initial conditions. Performance of our controller in achieving this objective has been demonstrated for different sets of parameters to establish its effectiveness.

We consider the following system of difference equations:xn+1=xn2/B1xn2+C1yn2, yn+1=yn2/A2+B2xn2+C2yn2,  n=0, 1, …,  whereB1,C1,A2,B2,C2are positive constants andx0, y0≥0are initial conditions. This system has interesting dynamics and it can have up to seven equilibrium points as well as a singular point at(0,0), which always possesses a basin of attraction. We characterize the basins of attractions of all equilibrium points as well as the singular point at(0,0)and thus describe the global dynamics of this system. Since the singular point at(0,0)always possesses a basin of attraction this system exhibits Allee’s effect.

The famous Lorenz system is studied and analyzed for a particular set of parameters originally proposed by Lorenz. With those parameters, the system has a single globally attracting strange attractor, meaning that almost all initial conditions in its 3D state space approach the attractor as time advances. However, with a slight change in one of the parameters, the chaotic attractor coexists with a symmetric pair of stable equilibrium points, and the resulting tri-stable system has three intertwined basins of attraction. The advent of 3D printers now makes it possible to visualize the topology of such basins of attraction as the results presented here illustrate.

Shifting patterns of temporal fluctuations have been found to signal critical transitions in a variety of systems, from ecological communities to human physiology. However, failure of these early warning signals in some systems calls for a better understanding of their limitations. In particular, little is known about the generality of early warning signals in different deteriorating environments. In this study, we characterized how multiple environmental drivers influence the dynamics of laboratory yeast populations, which was previously shown to display alternative stable states [Dai et al., Science, 2012]. We observed that both the coefficient of variation and autocorrelation increased before population collapse in two slowly deteriorating environments, one with a rising death rate and the other one with decreasing nutrient availability. We compared the performance of early warning signals across multiple environments as “indicators for loss of resilience.” We find that the varying performance is determined by how a system responds to changes in a specific driver, which can be captured by a relation between stability (recovery rate) and resilience (size of the basin of attraction). Furthermore, we demonstrate that the positive correlation between stability and resilience, as the essential assumption of indicators based on critical slowing down, can break down in this system when multiple environmental drivers are changed simultaneously. Our results suggest that the stability–resilience relation needs to be better understood for the application of early warning signals in different scenarios.

It is found that the fractional order memristor model can better simulate the characteristics of memristors and that chaotic circuits based on fractional order memristors also exhibit abundant dynamic behavior. This paper proposes an active fractional order memristor model and analyzes the electrical characteristics of the memristor via Power-Off Plot and Dynamic Road Map. We find that the fractional order memristor has continually stable states and is therefore nonvolatile. We also show that the memristor can be switched from one stable state to another under the excitation of appropriate voltage pulse. The volt–ampere hysteretic curves, frequency characteristics, and active characteristics of integral order and fractional order memristors are compared and analyzed. Based on the fractional order memristor and fractional order capacitor and inductor, we construct a chaotic circuit, of which the dynamic characteristics with respect to memristor’s parameters, fractional order α, and initial values are analyzed. The chaotic circuit has an infinite number of equilibrium points with multi-stability and exhibits coexisting bifurcations and coexisting attractors. Finally, the fractional order memristor-based chaotic circuit is verified by circuit simulations and DSP experiments.

Epilepsy affects about 70 million people in the world. Every year, approximately 2.4 million people are diagnosed with epilepsy, two-thirds of them will not know the etiology of their disease, and 1% of these individuals will decease as a consequence of it. Due to the inherent complexity of predicting and explaining it, the mathematical model Epileptor was recently developed to reproduce seizure-like events, also providing insights to improve the understanding of the neural dynamics in the interictal and ictal periods, although the physics behind each parameter and variable of the model is not fully established in the literature. This paper introduces an approach to design a feedback-based controller for suppressing epileptic seizures described by Epileptor. Our work establishes how the nonlinear dynamics of this disorder can be written in terms of a combination of linear sub-models employing an exact solution. Additionally, we show how a feedback control gain can be computed to suppress seizures, as well as how specific shapes applied as input stimuli for this purpose can be obtained. The practical application of the approach is discussed and the results show that the proposed technique is promising for developing controllers in this field.

In this paper, the effects of a bias term modeling a constant excitation force on the dynamics of an infinite-equilibrium chaotic system without linear terms are investigated. As a result, it is found that the bias term reduces the number of equilibrium points (transition from infinite-equilibria to only two equilibria) and breaks the symmetry of the model. The nonlinear behavior of the system is highlighted in terms of bifurcation diagrams, maximal Lyapunov exponent plots, phase portraits, and basins of attraction. Some interesting phenomena are found including, for instance, hysteretic dynamics, multistability, and coexisting bifurcation branches when monitoring the system parameters and the bias term. Also, we demonstrate that it is possible to control the offset and amplitude of the chaotic signals generated. Compared to some few cases previously reported on systems without linear terms, the plethora of behaviors found in this work represents a unique contribution in comparison with such type of systems. A suitable analog circuit is designed and used to support the theoretical analysis via a series of Pspice simulations.
