Pulsive feedback control for stabilizing unstable periodic orbits in a nonlinear oscillator with a non-symmetric potential

We examine a strange chaotic attractor and its unstable periodic orbits in case of one degree of freedom nonlinear oscillator with non symmetric potential. We propose an efficient method of chaos control stabilizing these orbits by a pulsive feedback technique. Discrete set of pulses enable us to transfer the system from one periodic state to another.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

Some new less conservative criteria for impulsive synchronization of a hyperchaotic Lorenz system based on small impulsive signals

In this Letter the issue of impulsive Synchronization of a hyperchaotic Lorenz system is developed. We propose an impulsive synchronization scheme of the hyperchaotic Lorenz system including chaotic systems. Some new and sufficient conditions on varying impulsive distances are established in order to guarantee the synchronizability of the systems using the synchronization method. In particular, some simple conditions are derived for synchronizing the systems by equal impulsive distances. The boundaries of the stable regions are also estimated. Simulation results show the proposed synchronization method to be effective. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Hidden attractors in fundamental problems and engineering models

Recently a concept of self-excited and hidden attractors was suggested: an attractor is called a self-excited attractor if its basin of attraction overlaps with neighborhood of an equilibrium, otherwise it is called a hidden attractor. For example, hidden attractors are attractors in systems with no equilibria or with only one stable equilibrium (a special case of multistability and coexistence of attractors). While coexisting self-excited attractors can be found using the standard computational procedure, there is no standard way of predicting the existence or coexistence of hidden attractors in a system. In this plenary survey lecture the concept of self-excited and hidden attractors is discussed, and various corresponding examples of self-excited and hidden attractors are considered

Averaging approach to phase coherence of uncoupled limit-cycle oscillators receiving common random impulses

Populations of uncoupled limit-cycle oscillators receiving common random impulses show various types of phase-coherent states, which are characterized by the distribution of phase differences between pairs of oscillators. We develop a theory to predict the stationary distribution of pairwise phase difference from the phase response curve, which quantitatively encapsulates the oscillator dynamics, via averaging of the Frobenius-Perron equation describing the impulse-driven oscillators. The validity of our theory is confirmed by direct numerical simulations using the FitzHugh-Nagumo neural oscillator receiving common Poisson impulses as an example

Cryptanalysis of a novel cryptosystem based on chaotic oscillators and feedback inversion

An analysis of a recently proposed cryptosystem based on chaotic oscillators and feedback inversion is presented. It is shown how the cryptosystem can be broken when Duffing's oscillator is considered. Some implementation problems of the system are also discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, latex forma

Transient Resetting: A Novel Mechanism for Synchrony and Its Biological Examples

The study of synchronization in biological systems is essential for the understanding of the rhythmic phenomena of living organisms at both molecular and cellular levels. In this paper, by using simple dynamical systems theory, we present a novel mechanism, named transient resetting, for the synchronization of uncoupled biological oscillators with stimuli. This mechanism not only can unify and extend many existing results on (deterministic and stochastic) stimulus-induced synchrony, but also may actually play an important role in biological rhythms. We argue that transient resetting is a possible mechanism for the synchronization in many biological organisms, which might also be further used in medical therapy of rhythmic disorders. Examples on the synchronization of neural and circadian oscillators are presented to verify our hypothesis.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figure

Chaotification of Impulsive Systems by Perturbations

In this paper, we present a new method for chaos generation in nonautonomous impulsive systems. We prove the presence of chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke by implementing chaotic perturbations. An impulsive Duffing oscillator is used to show the effectiveness of our technique, and simulations that support the theoretical results are depicted. Moreover, a procedure to stabilize the unstable periodic solutions is proposed
