Dynamical Behaviors of Stochastic Hopfield Neural Networks with Both Time-Varying and Continuously Distributed Delays
This paper investigates dynamical behaviors of stochastic Hopfield neural networks with both time-varying and continuously distributed delays. By employing the Lyapunov functional theory and linear matrix inequality, some novel criteria on asymptotic stability, ultimate boundedness, and weak attractor are derived. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the correctness and effectiveness of our theoretical results

Nonlinear Systems
Open Mathematics is a challenging notion for theoretical modeling, technical analysis, and numerical simulation in physics and mathematics, as well as in many other fields, as highly correlated nonlinear phenomena, evolving over a large range of time scales and length scales, control the underlying systems and processes in their spatiotemporal evolution. Indeed, available data, be they physical, biological, or financial, and technologically complex systems and stochastic systems, such as mechanical or electronic devices, can be managed from the same conceptual approach, both analytically and through computer simulation, using effective nonlinear dynamics methods. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight papers that show the dynamics, control, optimization and applications of nonlinear systems. This has recently become an increasingly popular subject, with impressive growth concerning applications in engineering, economics, biology, and medicine, and can be considered a veritable contribution to the literature. Original papers relating to the objective presented above are especially welcome subjects. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Stability analysis of discrete and continuous dynamical systems; Nonlinear dynamics in biological complex systems; Stability and stabilization of stochastic systems; Mathematical models in statistics and probability; Synchronization of oscillators and chaotic systems; Optimization methods of complex systems; Reliability modeling and system optimization; Computation and control over networked systems
STOCHASTIC DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH APPLICATIONS IN ECOLOGY AND EPIDEMICS
Mathematical modeling with delay differential equations (DDEs) is widely used for analysis and predictions in various areas of life sciences, such as population dynamics, epidemiology, immunology, physiology, and neural networks. The memory or time-delays, in these models, are related to the duration of certain hidden processes like the stages of the life cycle, the time between infection of a cell and the production of new viruses, the duration of the infectious period, the immune period, and so on. In ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the unknown state and its derivatives are evaluated at the same time instant. In DDEs, however, the evolution of the system at a certain time instant depends on the past history/memory. Introduction of such time-delays in a differential model significantly improves the dynamics of the model and enriches the complexity of the system.
Moreover, natural phenomena counter an environmental noise and usually do not follow deterministic laws strictly but oscillate randomly about some average values, so that the population density never attains a fixed value with the advancement of time. Accordingly, stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs) models play a prominent role in many application areas including biology, epidemiology and population dynamics, mostly because they can offer a more sophisticated insight through physical phenomena than their deterministic counterparts do. The SDDEs can be regarded as a generalization of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and DDEs.This dissertation, consists of eight Chapters, is concerned with qualitative and quantitative features of deterministic and stochastic delay differential equations with applications in ecology and epidemics. The local and global stabilities of the steady states and Hopf bifurcations with respect of interesting parameters of such models are investigated. The impact of incorporating time-delays and random noise in such class of differential equations for different types of predator-prey systems and infectious diseases is studied. Numerical simulations, using suitable and reliable numerical schemes, are provided to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.Chapter 1 provides a brief overview about the topic and shows significance of the study. Chapter 2, is devoted to investigate the qualitative behaviours (through local and global stability of the steady states) of DDEs with predator-prey systems in case of hunting cooperation on predators. Chapter 3 deals with the dynamics of DDEs, of multiple time-delays, of two-prey one-predator system, where the growth of both preys populations subject to Allee effects, with a direct competition between the two-prey species having a common predator. A Lyapunov functional is deducted to investigate the global stability of positive interior equilibrium. Chapter 4, studies the dynamics of stochastic DDEs for predator-prey system with hunting cooperation in predators. Existence and uniqueness of global positive solution and stochastically ultimate boundedness are investigated. Some sufficient conditions for persistence and extinction, using Lyapunov functional, are obtained. Chapter 5 is devoted to investigate Stochastic DDEs of three-species predator prey system with cooperation among prey species. Sufficient conditions of existence and uniqueness of an ergodic stationary distribution of the positive solution to the model are established, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Chapter 6 deals with stochastic epidemic SIRC model with time-delay for spread of COVID-19 among population. The basic reproduction number â„›s0 for the stochastic model which is smaller than â„›0 of the corresponding deterministic model is deduced. Sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution, using the stochastic Lyapunov functional, and conditions for the extinction of the disease are obtained. In Chapter 7, some numerical schemes for SDDEs are discussed. Convergence and consistency of such schemes are investigated. Chapter 8 summaries the main finding and future directions of research.
The main findings, theoretically and numerically, show that time-delays and random noise have a significant impact in the dynamics of ecological and biological systems. They also have an important role in ecological balance and environmental stability of living organisms. A small scale of white noise can promote the survival of population; While large noises can lead to extinction of the population, this would not happen in the deterministic systems without noises. Also, white noise plays an important part in controlling the spread of the disease; When the white noise is relatively large, the infectious diseases will become extinct; Re-infection and periodic outbreaks can also occur due to the time-delay in the transmission terms

Networked Dynamical Systems: Privacy, Control, and Cognition
Many natural and man-made systems, ranging from thenervous system to power and transportation grids to societies, exhibitdynamic behaviors that evolve over a sparse and complex network. This networked aspect raises significant challenges and opportunities for the identification, analysis, and control of such dynamic behaviors. While some of these challenges emanate from the networked aspect \emph{per se} (such as the sparsity of connections between system components and the interplay between nodal \emph{communication} and network dynamics), various challenges arise from the specific application areas (such as privacy concerns in cyber-physical systems or the need for \emph{scalable} algorithm designs due to the large size of various biological and engineered networks). On the other hand, networked systems provide significant opportunities and allow for performance and robustness levels that are far beyond reach for centralized systems, with examples ranging from the Internet (of Things) to the smart grid and the brain. This dissertation aims to address several of these challenges and harness these opportunities. The dissertation is divided into three parts. In the first part, we study privacy concerns whose resolution is vital for the utility of networked cyber-physical systems. We study the problems of average consensus and convex optimization as two principal distributed computations occurring over networks and design algorithm with rigorous privacy guarantees that provide a \emph{best achievable} tradeoff between network utility and privacy. In the second part, we analyze networks with resource constraints. More specifically, we study three problems of stabilization under communication (bandwidth and latency) limitations in sensing and actuation, optimal time-varying control scheduling problem under limited number of actuators and control energy, and the structure identification problem of under-sensed networks (i.e., networks with latent nodes). Finally in the last part, we focus on the intersection of networked dynamical systems and neuroscience and draw connections between brain network dynamics and two extensively studied but yet not fully understood neuro-cognitive phenomena: goal-driven selective attention and neural oscillations. Using a novel axiomatic approach, we establish these connections in the form of necessary and/or sufficient conditions on the network structure that match the network output trajectories with experimentally observed brain activity
