The complex projective synchronization in drive-response stochastic coupled networks with complex-variable systems is considered. The impulsive pinning control scheme is adopted to achieve complex projective synchronization and several simple and practical sufficient conditions are obtained in a general drive-response network. In addition, the adaptive feedback algorithms are proposed to adjust the control strength. Several numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed methods

Risk Control for Synchronizing a New Economic Model

Risk analysis in control problems is a critical but often overlooked issue in this research area. The main goal of this analysis is to assess the reliability of designed controllers and their impact on applied systems. The chaotic behavior of fractional-order economical systems has been extensively investigated in previous studies, leading to advancements in such systems. However, this chaotic behavior poses unpredictable risks to the economic system. This paper specifically investigates the reliability and risk analysis of chaotic fractional-order systems synchronization. Furthermore, we present a technique as a new mechanism to evaluate controller performance in the presence of obvious effects. Through a series of simulation studies, the reliability and risk associated with the proposed controllers are illustrated. Ultimately, we show that the suggested technique effectively reduces the risks associated with designed controllers

Dynamical Systems

Complex systems are pervasive in many areas of science integrated in our daily lives. Examples include financial markets, highway transportation networks, telecommunication networks, world and country economies, social networks, immunological systems, living organisms, computational systems and electrical and mechanical structures. Complex systems are often composed of a large number of interconnected and interacting entities, exhibiting much richer global scale dynamics than the properties and behavior of individual entities. Complex systems are studied in many areas of natural sciences, social sciences, engineering and mathematical sciences. This special issue therefore intends to contribute towards the dissemination of the multifaceted concepts in accepted use by the scientific community. We hope readers enjoy this pertinent selection of papers which represents relevant examples of the state of the art in present day research. [...

The problem of projective synchronization of drive-response coupled dynamical network with delayed system nodes and multiple coupling time-varying delays is investigated. Some sufficient conditions are derived to ensure projective synchronization of drive-response coupled network under the impulsive controller by utilizing the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equation and comparison theory. Numerical simulations on coupled time delay Lorenz chaotic systems are exploited finally to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results

Parameter Identification and Hybrid Synchronization in an Array of Coupled Chaotic Systems with Ring Connection: An Adaptive Integral Sliding Mode Approach

This article presents an adaptive integral sliding mode control (SMC) design method for parameter identification and hybrid synchronization of chaotic systems connected in ring topology. To employ the adaptive integral sliding mode control, the error system is transformed into a special structure containing nominal part and some unknown terms. The unknown terms are computed adaptively. Then the error system is stabilized using integral sliding mode control. The controller of the error system is created that contains both the nominal control and the compensator control. The adapted laws and compensator controller are derived using Lyapunov stability theory. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is validated through numerical examples

Mittag-Leffler state estimator design and synchronization analysis for fractional order BAM neural networks with time delays

This paper deals with the extended design of Mittag-Leffler state estimator and adaptive synchronization for fractional order BAM neural networks (FBNNs) with time delays. By the aid of Lyapunov direct approach and Razumikhin-type method a suitable fractional order Lyapunov functional is constructed and a new set of novel sufficient condition are derived to estimate the neuron states via available output measurements such that the ensuring estimator error system is globally Mittag-Leffler stable. Then, the adaptive feedback control rule is designed, under which the considered FBNNs can achieve Mittag-Leffler adaptive synchronization by means of some fractional order inequality techniques. Moreover, the adaptive feedback control may be utilized even when there is no ideal information from the system parameters. Finally, two numerical simulations are given to reveal the effectiveness of the theoretical consequences.N/

New criteria on global Mittag-Leffler synchronization for Caputo-type delayed Cohen-Grossberg Inertial Neural Networks

Our focus of this paper is on global Mittag-Leffler synchronization (GMLS) of the Caputo-type Inertial Cohen-Grossberg Neural Networks (ICGNNs) with discrete and distributed delays. This model takes into account the inertial term as well as the two types of delays, which greatly reduces the conservatism with respect to the model. A change of variables transforms the $2\beta$ order inertial frame into $\beta$ order ordinary frame in order to deal with the effect of the inertial term. In the following steps, two novel types of delay controllers are designed for the purpose of reaching the GMLS. In conjunction with the novel controllers, utilizing differential mean-value theorem and inequality techniques, several criteria are derived to determine the GMLS of ICGNNs within the framework of Caputo-type derivative and calculus properties. At length, the feasibility of the results is further demonstrated by two simulation examples

Mathematical modeling with applications in biological systems, physiology, and neuroscience

Doctor of PhilosophyDepartment of MathematicsBacim AlaliDynamical systems modeling is used to describe different biological and physical systems as well as to predict the interactions between multiple components of a system over time. A dynamical system describes the evolution of a given system over time using a set of mathematical laws, typically described by differential equations. There are two main methods to model the dynamical behaviors of a system: continuous time modeling and discrete-time modeling. When the time between two measurements is negligible, the continuous time modeling governs the evolution of the system, however, when there is a gap between any two consecutive measurements, discrete-time system modeling comes into play. Differential equations are used to model continuous systems and iterated maps represent the generations in discrete-time systems. In this dissertation, we study some dynamical systems and present their applications to different problems in biological systems, physiology, and neuroscience. In chapter one, we study the local dynamics of some interesting systems and show the local stable behavior of the system around its critical points. Moreover, we investigate the local dynamical behavior of different systems including the Hénon-Heiles system, the Duffing oscillator, and the Van der Pol equation. Furthermore, we discuss about the chaotic behavior of Hamiltonian systems using two different and new examples. In chapter two, we consider some models in computational neuroscience. Due to the complexity of nerve systems, linear modeling methods are not sufficient to understand the various phenomena in neuroscience. We use nonlinear methods and models, which aim at capturing certain properties of the neurons and their complex dynamics. Specifically, we explore the interesting phenomenon of firing spikes and complex dynamics of the Morris-Lecar model. We consider a set of parameters such that the model exhibits a wide range of phenomenon. We investigate the influences of injected current and temperature on the spiking dynamics of Morris-Lecar model. In addition, we study bifurcations, and computational properties of this neuron model. Moreover, we provide a bound for the membrane potential and a certain voltage value or threshold for firing the spikes. Studying the two co-dimension bifurcations demonstrates more complicated behaviors for this single neuron model. Furthermore, we describe the phenomenon of neural bursting and investigate the dynamics of Morris-Lecar model as a square-wave burster, elliptic burster and parabolic burster. Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical models, which provide insights into the interaction of chemicals with certain biological processes. In chapter three, we consider the process of drug and nanoparticle (NPs) distribution throughout the body. We use a tricompartmental model to study the perfusion of NPs in tissues and a six-compartmental model to study drug distribution in different body organs. We perform global sensitivity analysis by LHS Monte Carlo method using Partial Rank Correlation Coefficient (PRCC). We identify the key parameters that contribute most significantly to the absorption and distribution of drugs and NPs in different organs in the body. In chapter four, we study two infectious disease models and use nonlinear optimization and optimal control theory to help in identifying strategies for transmission control and forecasting the spread of infectious diseases. We analyze the effect of vaccination on the disease transmission in these models. Moreover, we perform global sensitivity analysis to investigate the key parameters in these models. In chapter five, we investigate the complex dynamics of two-species Ricker-type discrete-time competitive model. We perform local stability analysis for the fixed points of the system and discuss about its persistence for boundary fixed points. This system inherits properties of the dynamics of a one-dimensional Ricker model such as the cascade of period-doubling bifurcation, periodic windows, and chaos. We explore the existence of chaos for the equilibrium points for a specific case of this system using Marotto theorem and show the existence of snap-back repeller. In chapter six, we study the problem of chaos synchronization in certain discrete-time dynamical systems. We introduce a drive-response discrete-time dynamical system, which is coupled using convex link function. We investigate a synchronization threshold, after which, the drive-response system uncouples and loses its synchronized behaviors. We apply this method to the synchronized cycles of the Ricker model and show that this model displays a rich cascade of complex dynamics from a stable fixed point and cascade of period-doubling bifurcation to chaos. We numerically verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and demonstrate how this type of coupling affects the synchronization of the system. In chapter seven, we study the synchronized cycles of a generalized Nicholson-Bailey model. This model demonstrates a rich cascade of complex dynamics from a stable fixed point to periodic orbits, quasi periodic orbits and chaos. We introduce a coupling of these two chaotic systems with different initial conditions and show how they synchronize over a short time. We investigate the qualitative behavior of Generalized Nicholson-Bailey model and its synchronized model using time series analysis and its long-time dynamics by using its bifurcation diagram
