Limit Cycles from Hopf Bifurcation in Nongeneric Quadratic Reversible Systems with Piecewise Perturbations

In this paper, we consider a nongeneric quadratic reversible system with piecewise polynomial perturbations. We use the expansion of the first order Melnikov function to obtain the maximal number of small-amplitude limit cycles produced by Hopf bifurcation in the perturbed systems.

New and Improved Criteria on Fundamental Properties of Solutions of Integro—Delay Differential Equations with Constant Delay

This paper is concerned with certain non-linear unperturbed and perturbed systems of integro-delay differential equations (IDDEs). We investigate fundamental properties of solutions such as uniformly stability (US), uniformly asymptotically stability (UAS), integrability and instability of the un-perturbed system of the IDDEs as well as the boundedness of the perturbed system of IDDEs. In this paper, five new and improved fundamental qualitative results, which have less conservative conditions, are obtained on the mentioned fundamental properties of solutions. The technique used in the proofs depends on Lyapunov-Krasovski functionals (LKFs). In particular cases, three examples and their numerical simulations are provided as numerical applications of this paper. This paper provides new, extensive and improved contributions to the theory of IDDEs.

Robust Stability of Discrete-time Singularly Perturbed Systems with Nonlinear Perturbation

This paper is concerned with the robust stability and stabilization problems of discrete-time singularly perturbed systems (DTSPSs) with nonlinear perturbations. A proper sufficient condition via the fixed-point principle is proposed to guarantee that the given system is in a standard form. Then, based on the singular perturbation approach, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) based sufficient condition is presented such that the original system is standard and input-to-state stable (ISS) simultaneously. Thus, it can be easily verified for it only depends on the solution of an LMI. After that, for the case where the nominal system is unstable, the problem of designing a control law to make the resulting closed-loop system ISS is addressed. To achieve this, a sufficient condition is proposed via LMI techniques for the purpose of implementation. The criteria presented in this paper are independent of the small parameter and the stability bound can be derived effectively by solving an optimal problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results is illustrated by two numerical examples.

Mixed-mode oscillations for slow-fast perturbed systems

This article concerns the dynamics of mixed-mode oscillations (MMOs) emerging from the calcium-based inner hair cells (IHCs) model in the auditory cortex. The paper captures the MMOs generation mechanism based on the geometric singular perturbation theory (GSPT) after exploiting the average analysis for reducing the full model. Our analysis also finds that the critical manifold and folded surface are central to the mechanism of the existence of MMOs at the folded saddle for the perturbed system. The system parameters, such like the maximal calcium channels conductance, controls the firing patterns, and many new oscillations occur for the IHCs model. Tentatively, we conduct dynamic analysis combined with dynamic method based on GSPT by giving slow-fast analysis for the singular perturbed models and bifurcation analysis. In particular, we explore the two-slow-two-fast and three-slow-one-fast IHCs perturbed systems with layer and reduced problems so that differential-algebraic equations are obtained. This paper reveals the underlying dynamic properties of perturbed systems under singular perturbation theory.

CONSTRUCTION OF STABILITY AREAS FOR CONTROLLED SYSTEMS WITH PARAMETRIC AND DYNAMIC UNCERTAINTY

The subject of research in the article is sigularly perturbed controllable systems of differential equations containing terms with a small parameters on the right-hand side, which are not completely known, but only satisfy some constraints. The aim of the work is to expand the study of the behavior of solutions of singularly perturbed systems of differential equations to the case when the system is influenced not only by dynamic (small factor at the derivative) but also parametric (small factor at the right side of equations) uncertainties and to determine conditions under which such systems will be asymptotically resistant to any perturbations, estimate the upper limit of the small parameter, so that for all values of this parameter less than the obtained estimate, the undisturbed solution of the system was asymptotically stable. The following problems are solved in the article: singularly perturbed systems of differential equations with regular perturbations in the form of terms with a small parameter in the right-hand sides, which are not fully known, are investigated; an estimate is made of the areas of asymptotic stability of the unperturbed solution of such systems, that is, the class of systems that can be investigated for stability is expanded, the formulas obtained that allow one to analyze the asymptotic stability of solutions to systems even under conditions of incomplete information about the perturbations acting on them. The following methods are used: mathematical modeling of complex control systems; vector Lyapunov functions investigation of asymptotic stability of solutions of systems of differential equations. The following results were obtained: an estimate was made for the upper bound of a small parameter for sigularly perturbed systems of differential equations with fully known parametric (fully known) and dynamic uncertainties, such that for all values of this parameter less than the obtained estimate, such an unperturbed solution is asymptotically stable; a theorem is proved in which sufficient conditions for the uniform asymptotic stability of such a system are formulated. Conclusions: the method of vector Lyapunov functions extends to the class of singularly perturbed systems of differential equations with a small factor in the right-hand sides, which are not completely known, but only satisfy certain constraints.
