Optimum PID Control of Multi-wing Attractors in A Family of Lorenz-like Chaotic Systems

Multi-wing chaotic attractors are highly complex nonlinear dynamical systems with higher number of index-2 equilibrium points. Due to the presence of several equilibrium points, randomness of the state time series for these multi-wing chaotic systems is higher than that of the conventional double wing chaotic attractors. A real coded Genetic Algorithm (GA) based global optimization framework has been presented in this paper, to design optimum PID controllers so as to control the state trajectories of three different multi-wing Lorenz like chaotic systems viz. Lu, Rucklidge and Sprott-1 system.Comment: 6 pages, 21 figures; 2012 Third International Conference on Computing, Communication and Networking Technologies (ICCCNT'12), July 2012, Coimbator

Shadow of Kottler black hole in the presence of plasma for a co-moving observer

We consider a spherically symmetric black hole metric in (3+1)-dimensions in presence of a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$. We use a general approach as proposed in \cite{1} to transform the metric in co-moving coordinates. Then for a general metric we have evaluated the angular shadow size both in absence and presence of plasma. By using the aberration relation, we then find the corresponding shadow radius as viewed by a co-moving observer for Schwarzschild de-Sitter or Kottler spacetime. The effect of cosmological constant $\Lambda$ and plasma parameter $k$ on the angular size of black hole shadow has been observed in detail. Finally, by using the observed angular size of M87$^*$ black hole, we constrain the value of the plasma parameter $k$ with a specific observational value of the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ (or the Hubble constant $H_0$).Comment: 21 pages, 12 figures, comments are welcom
