    This paper provides a thorough survey of new chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. An analysis of the dynamic behavior of these complex systems is presented by pointing out their originality and elementary characteristics. Recently, such systems have been increasingly used in various fields such as secure communication, encryption and finance and so on. In practice, each field requires specific performances with peculiar complexity. A particular classification is then proposed in this paper based on the Lyapunov exponent, the equilibriums points and the attractor forms

    This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from World Scientific Publishing via the DOI in this recordThis paper constructs a new class of two-dimensional maps with closed curve fixed points. Firstly, the mathematical model of these maps is formulated by introducing a nonlinear function. Different types of fixed points which form a closed curve are shown by choosing proper parameters of the nonlinear function. The stabilities of these fixed points are studied to show that these fixed points are all non-hyperbolic. Then a computer search program is employed to explore the chaotic attractors in these maps, and several simple maps whose fixed points form different shapes of closed curves are presented. Complex dynamical behaviours of these maps are investigated by using the phase-basin portrait, Lyapunov exponents, and bifurcation diagrams.National Natural Science Foundation of ChinaNatural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China5th 333 High-level Personnel Training Project of Jiangsu Province of ChinaExcellent Scientific and Technological Innovation Team of Jiangsu UniversityJiangsu Key Laboratory for Big Data of Psychology and Cognitive Scienc

    A chaotic jerk system with different types of equilibria and its application in communication system

    Get PDF
    In this paper, a new jerk system is designed. This system can display different characters of equilibrium points according to the value of its parameters. The proposed nonlinear oscillator can have both self-excited and hidden attractors. Dynamical properties of this system are investigated with the help of eigenvalues of equilibria, Lyapunov exponents' spectrum, and bifurcation diagrams. Also, an electronic circuit implementation is carried out to show the feasibility of this system. As an engineering application of this new chaotic jerk system, a chaotic communication system is realized by correlation delay shift keying. When the results of the communication system are examined, the transmitted information signal is successfully obtained in the receiving unit, and its performance efficiency is investigated in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise

    A novel four-wing chaotic system with multiple equilibriums: Dynamical analysis, multistability, circuit simulation and pseudo random number generator (PRNG) based on the voice encryption

    Recently, there has been tremendous interest worldwide in the possibility of using chaos in communication systems. Many different chaos-based secure communication schemes have been proposed up until now. However, systems with strong chaoticity are more suitable for chaos-based secure communication. From the viewpoint of Lyapunov exponents, a chaotic system with a larger positive Lyapunov exponent is said to be more complex. This paper constructing a multistable chaotic system that can produce coexisting attractors is an attractive field of research due to its theoretical and practical usefulness. An innovative 3D dynamical system is presented in this research. It can display various coexisting attractors for the same values of parameters. The new system is more suitable for chaos-based applications than recently reported systems since it exhibits strong multistable chaotic behavior, as proved by its large positive Lyapunov exponent. Furthermore, the accuracy of the numerical calculation and the system's physical implementations are confirmed by analog circuit simulation. Finally, implementing the proposed voice encryption is done using a four-wing chaotic system based on the PRNG

    The disk dynamo plays an important role in studying the geodynamo and much research works have been devoted to the understanding of dynamo dynamics. This paper further investigates an extended disk dynamo system having three coupled conducting disks and incorporates the interaction-induced time delay in the dynamic governing equations. By carrying out a comparative analysis, the dynamic behaviors of the coupled three-disk dynamo system with and without time delay are studied to explore novel and complex nonlinear dynamic phenomena in the coupled delayed dynamo system. It is found that the double Hopf bifurcations can be induced in the time-delayed dynamo system. Three different topological structures of the unfolding are obtained under different time delays. Accordingly, it is shown that the novel dynamic behaviors, including quasi-periodic torus, three-dimensional torus and the coexistence of multiple attractors, can appear in the time-delayed dynamo system. Furthermore, by performing the continuation analysis on the periodic orbit generated from the Hopf bifurcation of equilibrium, some new coexistence patterns, e.g., the coexistence of periodic orbits and chaos, the coexistence of quasi-periodic orbits and chaos, are observed in the dynamo system with time delay. Based on the obtained results, it is believed that the inclusion of time delay in the modelling of the three-disk dynamo system is necessary and meaningful for developing an in-depth understanding of dynamo dynamics. Finally, the results of theoretical analyses are verified by the numerical simulations

    Attractors and bifurcations of chaotic systems

    The hidden bifurcation idea was discovered by the core idea of the Leonov and Kuznetsov method for searching hidden attractors (i.e., homotopy and numerical continuation) differently in order to uncover hidden bifurcations governed by a homotopy parameter ɛ while keeping the numbers of spirals. This idea was first discovered by Menacer et al. In 2016, in the multispiral Chua system, The first part of this thesis is devoted to providing a basic understanding of dynamic systems and chaos, followed by an introduction to the hidden attractors, history, and definitions. An effective procedure for the numerical localization of hidden attractors in multidimensional dynamical systems has been presented by Leonov et Kuznetsov. In this part, we end with the study of hidden attractors in the Chua system. The second part of the analysis consists of first, hidden modalities ofspirals of chaotic attractor via saturated function series and numerical results. Before reaching the asymptotic attractor which possesses an even number of spirals, these latter are generated one after one until they reach their maximum number, matching the value fixed by ɛ. Then, we end up by symmetries in hidden bifurcation routes to multiscroll chaotic attractors generated by saturated function series. The method to find such hidden bifurcation routes (HBR) depends upon two parameters

    Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Epidemiological and Chemical Systems

    This dissertation focuses on three interdisciplinary areas of applied mathematics, mathematical biology/epidemiology, economic epidemiology and mathematical physics, interconnected by the concepts and applications of dynamical systems.;In mathematical biology/epidemiology, a new deterministic SIS modeling framework for the dynamics of malaria transmission in which the malaria vector population is accounted for at each of its developmental stages is proposed. Rigorous qualitative and quantitative techniques are applied to acquire insights into the dynamics of the model and to identify and study two epidemiological threshold parameters reals* and R0 that characterize disease transmission and prevalence, and that can be used for disease control. It is shown that nontrivial disease-free and endemic equilibrium solutions, which can become unstable via a Hopf bifurcation exist. By incorporating vector demography; that is, by interpreting an aspect of the life cycle of the malaria vector, natural fluctuations known to exist in malaria prevalence are captured without recourse to external seasonal forcing and delays. Hence, an understanding of vector demography is necessary to explain the observed patterns in malaria prevalence. Additionally, the model exhibits a backward bifurcation. This implies that simply reducing R0 below unity may not be enough to eradicate the malaria disease. Since, only the female adult mosquitoes involved in disease transmission are identified and fully accounted for, the basic reproduction number (R0) for this model is smaller than that for previous SIS models for malaria. This, and the occurrence of both oscillatory dynamics and a backward bifurcation provide a novel and plausible framework for developing and implementing optimal malaria control strategies, especially those strategies that are associated with vector control.;In economic epidemiology, a deterministic and a stochastic model are used to investigate the effects of determinism, stochasticity, and safety nets on disease-driven poverty traps; that is, traps of low per capita income and high infectious disease prevalence. It is shown that economic development in deterministic models require significant external changes to the initial economic and health care conditions or a change in the parametric structure of the system. Therefore, poverty traps arising from deterministic models lead to more limited policy options. In contrast, there is always some probability that a population will escape or fall into a poverty trap in stochastic models. It is demonstrated that in stochastic models, a safety net can guarantee ultimate escape from the poverty trap, even when it is set within the basin of attraction of the poverty trap or when it is implemented only as an economic or health care intervention. It is also shown that the benefits of safety nets for populations that are close to the poverty trap equilibrium are highest for the stochastic model and lowest for the deterministic model. Based on the analysis of the stochastic model, the following optimal economic development and public health intervention questions are answered: (i) Is it preferable to provide health care, income/income generating resources, or both health care and income/income generating resources to enable populations to break cycles of poverty and disease; that is, escape from poverty traps? (ii) How long will it take a population that is caught in a poverty trap to attain economic development when the initial health and economic conditions are reinforced by safety nets?;In mathematical physics, an unusual form of multistability involving the coexistence of an infinite number of attractors that is exhibited by specially coupled chaotic systems is explored. It is shown that this behavior is associated with generalized synchronization and the emergence of a conserved quantity. The robustness of the phenomenon in relation to a mismatch of parameters of the coupled systems is studied, and it is shown that the special coupling scheme yields a new class of dynamical systems that manifests characteristics of dissipative and conservative systems

    Mean field modelling of human EEG: application to epilepsy

    Get PDF
    Aggregated electrical activity from brain regions recorded via an electroencephalogram (EEG), reveal that the brain is never at rest, producing a spectrum of ongoing oscillations that change as a result of different behavioural states and neurological conditions. In particular, this thesis focusses on pathological oscillations associated with absence seizures that typically affect 2–16 year old children. Investigation of the cellular and network mechanisms for absence seizures studies have implicated an abnormality in the cortical and thalamic activity in the generation of absence seizures, which have provided much insight to the potential cause of this disease. A number of competing hypotheses have been suggested, however the precise cause has yet to be determined. This work attempts to provide an explanation of these abnormal rhythms by considering a physiologically based, macroscopic continuum mean-field model of the brain's electrical activity. The methodology taken in this thesis is to assume that many of the physiological details of the involved brain structures can be aggregated into continuum state variables and parameters. The methodology has the advantage to indirectly encapsulate into state variables and parameters, many known physiological mechanisms underlying the genesis of epilepsy, which permits a reduction of the complexity of the problem. That is, a macroscopic description of the involved brain structures involved in epilepsy is taken and then by scanning the parameters of the model, identification of state changes in the system are made possible. Thus, this work demonstrates how changes in brain state as determined in EEG can be understood via dynamical state changes in the model providing an explanation of absence seizures. Furthermore, key observations from both the model and EEG data motivates a number of model reductions. These reductions provide approximate solutions of seizure oscillations and a better understanding of periodic oscillations arising from the involved brain regions. Local analysis of oscillations are performed by employing dynamical systems theory which provide necessary and sufficient conditions for their appearance. Finally local and global stability is then proved for the reduced model, for a reduced region in the parameter space. The results obtained in this thesis can be extended and suggestions are provided for future progress in this area
