Quasi-synchronization of delayed coupled networks with non-identical discontinuous nodes
This paper is concerned with the quasi-synchronization issue of linearly coupled networks with discontinuous nonlinear functions in each isolated node. Under the framework of Filippov systems, the existence and boundedness of solutions for such complex networks can be guaranteed by the matrix measure approach. A design method is presented for the synchronization controllers of coupled networks with non-identical discontinuous systems. Numerical simulations on the coupled chaotic systems are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results
Nonlinear dynamics of full-range CNNs with time-varying delays and variable coefficients
In the article, the dynamical behaviours of the full-range cellular neural networks (FRCNNs) with variable coefficients and time-varying delays are considered. Firstly, the improved model of the FRCNNs is proposed, and the existence and uniqueness of the solution are studied by means of differential inclusions and set-valued analysis. Secondly, by using the Hardy inequality, the matrix analysis, and the Lyapunov functional method, we get some criteria for achieving the globally exponential stability (GES). Finally, some examples are provided to verify the correctness of the theoretical results
Perron Theorem in the Monotone Iteration Method for Traveling Waves in Delayed Reaction-Diffusion Equations
In this paper we revisit the existence of traveling waves for delayed
reaction diffusion equations by the monotone iteration method. We show that
Perron Theorem on existence of bounded solution provides a rigorous and
constructive framework to find traveling wave solutions of reaction diffusion
systems with time delay. The method is tried out on two classical examples with
delay: the predator-prey and Belousov-Zhabotinskii models.Comment: 17 pages. To appear in Journal of Differential Equation
Magnetic Braking and Viscous Damping of Differential Rotation in Cylindrical Stars
Differential rotation in stars generates toroidal magnetic fields whenever an
initial seed poloidal field is present. The resulting magnetic stresses, along
with viscosity, drive the star toward uniform rotation. This magnetic braking
has important dynamical consequences in many astrophysical contexts. For
example, merging binary neutron stars can form "hypermassive" remnants
supported against collapse by differential rotation. The removal of this
support by magnetic braking induces radial fluid motion, which can lead to
delayed collapse of the remnant to a black hole. We explore the effects of
magnetic braking and viscosity on the structure of a differentially rotating,
compressible star, generalizing our earlier calculations for incompressible
configurations. The star is idealized as a differentially rotating, infinite
cylinder supported initially by a polytropic equation of state. The gas is
assumed to be infinitely conducting and our calculations are performed in
Newtonian gravitation. Though highly idealized, our model allows for the
incorporation of magnetic fields, viscosity, compressibility, and shocks with
minimal computational resources in a 1+1 dimensional Lagrangian MHD code. Our
evolution calculations show that magnetic braking can lead to significant
structural changes in a star, including quasistatic contraction of the core and
ejection of matter in the outermost regions to form a wind or an ambient disk.
These calculations serve as a prelude and a guide to more realistic MHD
simulations in full 3+1 general relativity.Comment: 20 pages, 19 figures, 3 tables, AASTeX, accepted by Ap
