Bifurcations, Chaos, Controlling and Synchronization of Certain Nonlinear Oscillators

In this set of lectures, we review briefly some of the recent developments in the study of the chaotic dynamics of nonlinear oscillators, particularly of damped and driven type. By taking a representative set of examples such as the Duffing, Bonhoeffer-van der Pol and MLC circuit oscillators, we briefly explain the various bifurcations and chaos phenomena associated with these systems. We use numerical and analytical as well as analogue simulation methods to study these systems. Then we point out how controlling of chaotic motions can be effected by algorithmic procedures requiring minimal perturbations. Finally we briefly discuss how synchronization of identically evolving chaotic systems can be achieved and how they can be used in secure communications.Comment: 31 pages (24 figures) LaTeX.

A locally active discrete memristor model and its application in a hyperchaotic map

© 2022 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Part of Springer Nature. This is the accepted manuscript version of an article which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1007/s11071-021-07132-5The continuous memristor is a popular topic of research in recent years, however, there is rare discussion about the discrete memristor model, especially the locally active discrete memristor model. This paper proposes a locally active discrete memristor model for the first time and proves the three fingerprints characteristics of this model according to the definition of generalized memristor. A novel hyperchaotic map is constructed by coupling the discrete memristor with a two-dimensional generalized square map. The dynamical behaviors are analyzed with attractor phase diagram, bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, and dynamic behavior distribution diagram. Numerical simulation analysis shows that there is significant improvement in the hyperchaotic area, the quasi-periodic area and the chaotic complexity of the two-dimensional map when applying the locally active discrete memristor. In addition, antimonotonicity and transient chaos behaviors of system are reported. In particular, the coexisting attractors can be observed in this discrete memristive system, resulting from the different initial values of the memristor. Results of theoretical analysis are well verified with hardware experimental measurements. This paper lays a great foundation for future analysis and engineering application of the discrete memristor and relevant the study of other hyperchaotic maps.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio

This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).Continuous memristors have been widely studied in recent years; however, there are few studies on discrete memristors in the field of neural networks. In this paper, a four-stable locally active discrete memristor (LADM) is proposed as a synapse, which is used to connect a two-dimensional Chialvo neuron and a three-dimensional KTZ neuron, and construct a simple heterogeneous discrete neural network (HDNN). Through a bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponents diagram, the period and chaotic regions of the discrete neural network model are shown. Through numerical analysis, it was found that the chaotic region and periodic region of the neural network based on DLAM are significantly improved. In addition, coexisting chaos and chaos attractors, coexisting periodic and chaotic attractors, and coexisting periodic and periodic attractors will appear when the initial value of the LADM is changed. Coupled by a LADM synapse, two heterogeneous discrete neurons are gradually synchronized by changing the coupling strength. This paper lays a good foundation for the future analysis of LADMs and the related research of discrete neural networks coupled by LADMs.Peer reviewe

Emergence of chaotic hysteresis in a second-order non-autonomous chaotic circuit

The observation of hysteresis in the dynamics of a third-order autonomous chaotic system namely, the {\it{Chua's}} circuit has been reported recently \cite{Gomes2023}. In the present work, we make a detailed study on the emergence of dynamical hysteresis in a simple second-order non-autonomous chaotic system namely, the {\it{Murali-Lakshmanan-Chua }} (MLC) circuit. The experimental realization of chaotic hysteresis is further validated by numerical simulation and analytical solutions. The presence of chaotic hysteresis in a second-order non-autonomous electronic circuit is reported for the first time. Multistable regions are observed in the dynamics of MLC with constant bias.Comment: 27 Pages, 10 figure

Nonlinear resonance and devil’s staircase in a forced planer system containing a piecewise linear hysteresis

The Duffing equation describes a periodically forced oscillator model with a nonlinear elasticity. In its circuitry, a saturable-iron core often exhibits a hysteresis, however, a few studies about the Duffing equation has discussed the effects of the hysteresis because of difficulties in their mathematical treatment. In this paper, we investigate a forced planer system obtained by replacing a cubic term in the Duffing equation with a hysteresis function. For simplicity, we approximate the hysteresis to a piecewise linear function. Since the solutions are expressed by combinations of some dynamical systems and switching conditions, a finite-state machine is derived from the hybrid system approach, and then bifurcation theory can be applied to it. We topologically classify periodic solutions and compute local and grazing bifurcation sets accurately. In comparison with the Duffing equation, we discuss the effects caused by the hysteresis, such as the devil’s staircase in resonant solutions

Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.The theoretical, numerical and experimental demonstrations of firing dynamics in isolated neuron are of great significance for the understanding of neural function in human brain. In this paper, a new type of locally active and non-volatile memristor with three stable pinched hysteresis loops is presented. Then, a novel locally active memristive neuron model is established by using the locally active memristor as a connecting autapse, and both firing patterns and multistability in this neuronal system are investigated. We have confirmed that, on the one hand, the constructed neuron can generate multiple firing patterns like periodic bursting, periodic spiking, chaotic bursting, chaotic spiking, stochastic bursting, transient chaotic bursting and transient stochastic bursting. On the other hand, the phenomenon of firing multistability with coexisting four kinds of firing patterns can be observed via changing its initial states. It is worth noting that the proposed neuron exhibits such firing multistability previously unobserved in single neuron model. Finally, an electric neuron is designed and implemented, which is extremely useful for the practical scientific and engineering applications. The results captured from neuron hardware experiments match well with the theoretical and numerical simulation results.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio

Hopf Bifurcation and Chaos in Tabu Learning Neuron Models

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear dynamical behaviors of some tabu leaning neuron models. We first consider a tabu learning single neuron model. By choosing the memory decay rate as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that Hopf bifurcation occurs in the neuron. The stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory. We give a numerical example to verify the theoretical analysis. Then, we demonstrate the chaotic behavior in such a neuron with sinusoidal external input, via computer simulations. Finally, we study the chaotic behaviors in tabu learning two-neuron models, with linear and quadratic proximity functions respectively.Comment: 14 pages, 13 figures, Accepted by International Journal of Bifurcation and Chao
