Symmetry in Chaotic Systems and Circuits

Symmetry can play an important role in the field of nonlinear systems and especially in the design of nonlinear circuits that produce chaos. Therefore, this Special Issue, titled “Symmetry in Chaotic Systems and Circuits”, presents the latest scientific advances in nonlinear chaotic systems and circuits that introduce various kinds of symmetries. Applications of chaotic systems and circuits with symmetries, or with a deliberate lack of symmetry, are also presented in this Special Issue. The volume contains 14 published papers from authors around the world. This reflects the high impact of this Special Issue

A New 3-D Multistable Chaotic System with Line Equilibrium: Dynamic Analysis and Synchronization

This work introduces a new 3-D chaotic system with a line of equilibrium points. We carry out a detailed dynamic analysis of the proposed chaotic system with five nonlinear terms. We show that the chaotic system exhibits multistability with two coexisting chaotic attractors. We apply integral sliding mode control for the complete synchronization of the new chaotic system with itself as leader-follower systems

Bifurcation analysis, circuit design and sliding mode control of a new multistable chaotic population model with one prey and two predators

In this work, we report a new chaotic population biology system with one prey and two predators. Our new chaotic population model is derived by introducing two nonlinear interaction terms between the prey and predator-2 to the Samardzija-Greller population biology system (1988).We show that the new chaotic population biology system has a greater value of Maximal Lyapunov Exponent (MLE) than the Maximal Lyapunov Exponent (MLE) of the Samardzija- Greller population biology system (1988).We carry out a detailed bifurcation analysis of the new chaotic population biology system with one prey and two predators. We also show that the new chaotic population biology model exhibits multistability with coexisting chaotic attractors. Next, we use the integral sliding mode control (ISMC) for the complete synchronization of the new chaotic population biology system with itself, taken as the master and slave chaotic population biology systems. Finally, for practical use of the new chaotic population biology system, we design an electronic circuit design using Multisim (Version 14.0)

Short-memory discrete fractional difference equation wind turbine model and its inferential control of a chaotic permanent magnet synchronous transformer in time-scale analysis

The aerodynamics analysis has grown in relevance for wind energy projects; this mechanism is focused on elucidating aerodynamic characteristics to maximize accuracy and practicability via the modelling of chaos in a wind turbine system's permanent magnet synchronous generator using short-memory methodologies. Fractional derivatives have memory impacts and are widely used in numerous practical contexts. Even so, they also require a significant amount of storage capacity and have inefficient operations. We suggested a novel approach to investigating the fractional-order operator's Lyapunov candidate that would do away with the challenging task of determining the indication of the Lyapunov first derivative. Next, a short-memory fractional modelling strategy is presented, followed by short-memory fractional derivatives. Meanwhile, we demonstrate the dynamics of chaotic systems using the Lyapunov function. Predictor-corrector methods are used to provide analytical results. It is suggested to use system dynamics to reduce chaotic behaviour and stabilize operation; the benefit of such a framework is that it can only be used for one state of the hybrid power system. The key variables and characteristics, i.e., the modulation index, pitch angle, drag coefficients, power coefficient, air density, rotor angular speed and short-memory fractional differential equations are also evaluated via numerical simulations to enhance signal strength

This is the accepted manuscript version of a conference paper which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1109/TII.2023.3341256The high cost, low yield, and low stability of nano-materials significantly hinder the application and development of memristors. To promote the application of memristors, researchers proposed a variety of memristor emulators to simulate memristor functions and apply them in various fields. However these emulators lack nonvolatile characteristics, limiting their scope of application. This paper proposes an innovative nonvolatile memristor circuit based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, expanding the horizons of memristor emulators. The proposed memristor is fabricated in a reconfigurable array architecture using the standard CMOS process, allowing the connection between memristors to be altered by configuring the on-off state of switches. Compared to nano-material memristors, the CMOS nonvolatile memristor circuit proposed in this paper offers advantages of low manufacturing cost and easy mass production, which can promote the application of memristors. The application of the reconfigurable array is further studied by constructing an Echo State Network (ESN) for short-term load forecasting in the power system.Peer reviewe

Low-Cost Inventions and Patents

Inventions have led to the technological advances of mankind. There are inventions of all kinds, some of which have lasted hundreds of years or even longer. Low-cost technologies are expected to be easy to build, have little or no energy consumption, and be easy to maintain and operate. The use of sustainable technologies is essential in order to move towards a greater global coverage of technology, and therefore to improve human quality of life. Low-cost products always respond to a specific need, even if no in-depth analysis of the situation or possible solutions has been carried out. It is a consensus in all industrialized countries that patents have a decisive influence on the organization of the economy, as they are a key element in promoting technological innovation. Patents must aim to promote the technological development of countries, starting from their industrial situations

Entropy in Image Analysis II

Image analysis is a fundamental task for any application where extracting information from images is required. The analysis requires highly sophisticated numerical and analytical methods, particularly for those applications in medicine, security, and other fields where the results of the processing consist of data of vital importance. This fact is evident from all the articles composing the Special Issue "Entropy in Image Analysis II", in which the authors used widely tested methods to verify their results. In the process of reading the present volume, the reader will appreciate the richness of their methods and applications, in particular for medical imaging and image security, and a remarkable cross-fertilization among the proposed research areas

Fractional Calculus and the Future of Science

Newton foresaw the limitations of geometry’s description of planetary behavior and developed fluxions (differentials) as the new language for celestial mechanics and as the way to implement his laws of mechanics. Two hundred years later Mandelbrot introduced the notion of fractals into the scientific lexicon of geometry, dynamics, and statistics and in so doing suggested ways to see beyond the limitations of Newton’s laws. Mandelbrot’s mathematical essays suggest how fractals may lead to the understanding of turbulence, viscoelasticity, and ultimately to end of dominance of the Newton’s macroscopic world view.Fractional Calculus and the Future of Science examines the nexus of these two game-changing contributions to our scientific understanding of the world. It addresses how non-integer differential equations replace Newton’s laws to describe the many guises of complexity, most of which lay beyond Newton’s experience, and many had even eluded Mandelbrot’s powerful intuition. The book’s authors look behind the mathematics and examine what must be true about a phenomenon’s behavior to justify the replacement of an integer-order with a noninteger-order (fractional) derivative. This window into the future of specific science disciplines using the fractional calculus lens suggests how what is seen entails a difference in scientific thinking and understanding
