Stabilization of Highly Nonlinear Stochastic Time-Varying Coupled Systems via Aperiodically Intermittent Control

Highly non-linear stochastic time-varying coupled systems are first considered in which the coupling structure is time-variant. It is worth pointing out that aperiodically intermittent control (AIC) is considered to achieve the stability of highly non-linear stochastic time-varying coupled systems. Since the existing research methods for processing AIC are not suitable for stochastic highly non-linear systems, a new Halanay-type differential inequality with higher-order nonlinear terms that extends the existing Halanay-type differential inequalities is established. Then, with the help of the Lyapunov method, some techniques of inequalities and the graph theory, two stabilization criteria are presented to guarantee the exponential stabilization for highly non-linear stochastic time-varying coupled systems. Finally, as an application of our results, the modified time-varying coupled Van der Pol-Duffing oscillators are studied via AIC with numerical simulations provided.

Complex dynamical properties of coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators with balanced loss and gain

We consider a Hamiltonian system of coupled Van der Pol–Duffing (VdPD) oscillators with balanced loss and gain. The system is analyzed perturbatively by using renormalization group (RG) techniques as well as multiple scale analysis (MSA). Both the methods produce identical results in the leading order of the perturbation. The RG flow equation is exactly solvable and the slow variation of amplitudes and phases in time can be computed analytically. The system is analyzed numerically and shown to admit periodic solutions in regions of parameter-space, confirming the results of the linear stability analysis and perturbation methods. The complex dynamical behavior of the system is studied in detail by using time-series, Poincaré-sections, power-spectra, auto-correlation function and bifurcation diagrams. The Lyapunov exponents are computed numerically. The numerical analysis reveals chaotic behaviour in the system beyond a critical value of the parameter that couples the two VdPD oscillators through linear coupling, thereby providing yet another example of Hamiltonian chaos in a system with balanced loss and gain. Further, we modify the nonlinear terms of the model to make it a non-Hamiltonian system of coupled VdPD oscillators with balanced loss and gain. The non-Hamiltonian system is analyzed perturbatively as well as numerically and shown to posses regular periodic as well as chaotic solutions. It is seen that the -symmetry is not an essential requirement for the existence of regular periodic solutions in both the Hamiltonian as well as non-Hamiltonian systems.

Stability and Oscillatory Behavior of the Solutions on a Class of Coupled Van der Pol-Duffing Equations with Delays

In the present paper, a class of coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillators with a nonlinear friction of higher polynomial order model which involves time delays is investigated. The coefficients of the highest order of the polynomial determine the boundedness of the solutions. With special attention to the boundedness of the solutions and the instability of the unique equilibrium point of linearized system, some sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of oscillatory solutions for the model are obtained based on the generalized Chafee's criterion. Convergence of the trivial solution is determined by the negative real part of eigenvalues of the linearized system. Examples are provided to demonstrate the reduced conservativeness for the parameters of the proposed results. The results obtained shown that the passive decay rate in the model affects the oscillatory frequency and amplitude. When a permanent oscillation occurred, time delays affect mainly oscillatory frequency and amplitude slightly.

Occurrence and stability of chimera states in coupled externally excited oscillators.

We studied the phenomenon of chimera states in networks of non-locally coupled externally excited oscillators. Units of the considered networks are bi-stable, having two co-existing attractors of different types (chaotic and periodic). The occurrence of chimeras is discussed, and the influence of coupling radius and coupling strength on their co-existence is analyzed (including typical bifurcation scenarios). We present a statistical analysis and investigate sensitivity of the probability of observing chimeras to the initial conditions and parameter values. Due to the fact that each unit of the considered networks is individually excited, we study the influence of the excitation failure on stability of observed states. Typical transitions are shown, and changes in network's dynamics are discussed. We analyze systems of coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillators and the Duffing ones. Described chimera states are robust as they are observed in the wide regions of parameter values, as well as in other networks of coupled forced oscillators.

Rare and hidden attractors in Van der Pol-Duffing oscillators

We study the dynamics of the single and coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillators. Each oscillator is characterized by the multistability (the coexistence of attractors). Some of the coexisting attractors have very small basins of attraction (the rare ones) and some of them do not contain equilibria in their basin of attraction (the hidden ones). We perform the detailed bifurcation analysis of these attractors and investigate how this plethora of states influences the dynamics of the network of coupled oscillators. We have observed the cluster synchronization on different attractors as well as different types of chimera states.

Experiment on Bifurcation and Chaos in Coupled Anisochronous Self-Excited Systems: Case of Two Coupled van der Pol-Duffing Oscillators

The analog circuit implementation and the experimental bifurcation analysis of coupled anisochronous self-driven systems modelled by two mutually coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillators are considered. The coupling between the two oscillators is set in a symmetrical way that linearly depends on the difference of their velocities (i.e., dissipative coupling). Interest in this problem does not decrease because of its significance and possible application in the analysis of different, biological, chemical, and electrical systems (e.g., coupled van der Pol-Duffing electrical system). Regions of quenching behavior as well as conditions for the appearance of Hopf bifurcations are analytically defined. The scenarios/routes to chaos are studied with particular emphasis on the effects of cubic nonlinearity (that is responsible for anisochronism of small oscillations). When monitoring the control parameter, various striking dynamic behaviors are found including period-doubling, symmetry-breaking, multistability, and chaos. An appropriate electronic circuit describing the coupled oscillator is designed and used for the investigations. Experimental results that are consistent with results from theoretical analyses are presented and convincingly show quenching phenomenon as well as bifurcation and chaos.

Stability and bifurcation analysis of delay coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators

In this paper, we aim to investigate the dynamics of a system of Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators with delay coupling. First, taking the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, the stability of the equilibrium, and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated. Then using the center manifold reduction technique and normal form theory, we give the direction of the Hopf bifurcation. And then by means of the symmetric bifurcation theory for delay differential equations and the representation theory of groups, we claim the bifurcation periodic solution induced by time delay is antiphase locked oscillation. Finally, at the end of the paper, numerical simulations are carried out to support our theoretical analysis.

Oscillatory Behavior in a System of Coupled Van Der Pol-Duffing Oscillators with Delays

In this paper, a model of coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillators with delays is studied. Two sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of oscillations for the system are provided. Numerical simulation is given to demonstrate our result.

Analytical approximate periodic solutions for two-degree-of-freedom coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillators by extended homotopy analysis method

In this study, the extended homotopy analysis method (EHAM) is applied to derive the accurate approximate analytical solutions for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) coupled oscillators. The present paper not only introduces the rationale for the EHAM for MDOF oscillators, but also strengthens the availability of the conventional homotopy analysis method (HAM) in solving complex MDOF dynamical systems. Employing the EHAM for the two-degree-of-freedom (TDOF) coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillator, the explicit analytical solutions of frequency ω and displacements x 1(t) and x 2(t) are formulated for various initial conditions and physical parameters. To verify the accuracy and correctness of this approach, a number of comparisons are conducted between the results of the EHAM and the numerical integration (i.e. Runge-Kutta) method. It is shown that the third-order analytical solutions of the EHAM agree well with the numerical integration solutions, even if the time variable t progresses to a comparatively large domain in the time history responses.

Chaotic dynamics of two Van der Pol-Duffing oscillators with Huygens coupling

We consider a system of two coupled Van der Pol-Duffing oscillators with Huygens coupling as an appropriate model of two mechanical oscillators connected to a movable platform via a spring. We examine the complicated dynamics of the system and study its multistable behavior. In particular, we reveal the co-existence of several chaotic regimes and study the structure of the associated riddled basins.

Accurate approximate analytical solutions for multi-degree-of-freedom coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillators by homotopy analysis method

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is presented to establish the accurate approximate analytical solutions for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) nonlinear coupled oscillators. The periodic solutions for the three-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillators are applied to illustrate the validity and great potential of this method. For given physical parameters of nonlinear systems and with different initial conditions, the frequency ω, displacements x1(t),x2(t) and x3(t) can be explicitly obtained. In addition, comparisons are conducted between the results obtained by the HAM and the numerical integration (i.e. Runge–Kutta) method. It is shown that the analytical solutions of the HAM are in excellent agreement with respect to the numerical integration solutions, even if time t progresses to a certain large domain in the time history responses. Finally, the homotopy Pade technique is used to accelerate the convergence of the solutions.

Strange attractors and synchronization dynamics of coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators

We consider in this paper the synchronization dynamics of coupled chaotic Van der Pol–Duffing systems. We first find that with the judicious choose of the set of initial conditions, the model exhibits two strange chaotic attractors. The problem of synchronizing chaos both on the same and different chaotic orbits of two coupled Van der Pol–Duffing systems is investigated. The stability boundaries of the synchronization process between two coupled driven Van der Pol model are derived and the effects of the amplitude of the periodic perturbation of the coupling parameter on these boundaries are analyzed. The results are provided on the stability map in the (q,K) plane.

General synchronization dynamics of coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators

This paper considers the general synchronization dynamics of coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators. The linear and nonlinear stability analysis on the synchronization process is derived through the Whittaker method and the Floquet theory in addition to the multiple time scales method. A stability map displaying different dynamical states of the system is performed. Numerical simulation is carried out to support and to complement the accuracy of the analytical treatment.

Duration of the process of complete synchronization of two coupled identical chaotic systems

We consider the time required for complete synchronization of two identical one-way coupled vander Pol-Duffing oscillators occurring in the regime of dynamic chaos. The influence of the initial phase differ-ence between oscillators on the duration of the process of complete synchronization has been studied. At a fixedphase of chaotic oscillations of the self-excited drive oscillator, the period of time (past the coupling onset) during which the complete synchronization regime is established depends on the phase of the self-excited responseoscillator
