Hamilton energy, competitive modes and ultimate bound estimation of a new 3D chaotic system, and its application in chaos synchronization

Abstract This paper discusses the dynamical behavior of a new 3D chaotic system of integer and fractional order. To get a comprehensive knowledge of the dynamics of the proposed system, we have studied competitive modes and Hamilton energy for different parameter values. In order to get the ultimate bound set for the proposed system, we employed the Lagrange coefficient approach to solve the optimization problem. We have also explored the use of the bound set in synchronization. Furthermore, we have examined the Hamilton energy, time series, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponents for the fractional version of the proposed chaotic system. Finally, we looked at the Mittage-Leffler positive invariant sets and global attractive sets by merging the Lyapunov function approach with the Mittage-Leffler function. Numerical simulations have shown the obtained bound sets and other analytical outcomes.

Exploring the dynamic behavior of system model construction with unknown parameters and achieving synchronous control of fuzzy neural networks

This study proposes a method that combines constant terms with state variables to construct the target system model. The three-dimensional system model is used for verification, starting with integer-order and fractional-order continuous system models. Through the integration of information entropy, path entropy, permutation entropy, the SALI algorithm, and complexity methods, the dynamic behavior of the target model is thoroughly analyzed. Finally, by considering the range of values when the constant term is involved in the construction, the study integrates fuzzy neural networks to effectively construct a self-organizing fuzzy neural network with parameters(SFNNP). Using a three-dimensional continuous system as a simulation case, the study successfully realizes the synchronous control of a fuzzy neural network based on fuzzy parameterization.

Hierarchical Distributed Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Control of Nonlinear Fractional-Order Multiagent Systems With Faults and Periodic Disturbances Using Event-Triggered Communication.

This article presents a distributed fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme for nonlinear fractional-order (FO) multiagent systems (MASs) with the order lying in (0, 1], such that the proposed control architecture can be directly applied to both FO and integer-order (IO) systems without any modifications. To handle the unexpected actuator faults encountered by the FO MASs, a hierarchical FTC mechanism is developed for each system by constructing an event-triggered distributed FO estimator at the upper layer to estimate the leader system's output via conditionally triggered neighboring information, and an FTC unit at the lower layer to counteract the loss-of-effectiveness faults via Nussbaum function with FO criteria. To further address the unknown nonlinear functions involving bias faults and periodic disturbances, the Fourier series expansion technique is used to construct the input variables of fuzzy neural networks (FNNs), such that the FNNs with dynamically adjusted weight matrices, centers, and widths can be developed for each FO system to act as the learning module. It is shown by FO Lyapunov stability analysis that all follower systems can track the leader system against faults and periodic disturbances. Simulation results on FO systems and hardware-in-the-loop experiment results on IO fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles show the extensive feasibility of the developed scheme.

A deterministic design approach of tilt integral derivative controller for integer and fractional-order system with time delay

A tilt integral derivative (TID) controller modifies the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller in the fractional domain. It converts the proportional gain as a function of frequency and is thereby capable of achieving optimal system response. The usual practice for the parameter estimation of the TID controller is by minimization of the error-based objective functions using optimization techniques. Although precise results can be achieved, these nature-inspired algorithms are stochastic and hence produce different solutions during different iterations. Therefore, a comparative statistical study is usually necessary to validate the best possible result. This study shows a deterministic analytical procedure for the paramssseter estimation of TID controllers. The magnitude and phase angle criteria, along with the frequency-domain loop shaping specifications, are used for the explicit evaluation of the TID parameters. Because of its model-independent nature, this tuning strategy can be used for a variety of integral and nonintegral order systems with different plant structures. In this article, the authenticity of the applied procedure is demonstrated through suitable numerical examples. The complexity of the design problem is enhanced by using it for both integer and non-integer (fractional) order plus time-delay systems. Further, the robustness of the control system in the presence of a TID controller was examined under the influence of external parameters and input reference changes. Simulation studies validate the supremacy of TID controllers over PID controllers in terms of reference tracking and disturbance rejection capabilities.

Servo Control of a Current-Controlled Attractive-Force-Type Magnetic Levitation System Using Fractional-Order LQR Control

Recent research on fractional-order control laws has introduced the fractional calculus concept into the field of control engineering. As described herein, we apply fractional-order linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control to a current-controlled attractive-force-type magnetic levitation system, which is a strongly nonlinear and unstable system, to investigate its control performance through experimentation. First, to design the controller, a current-controlled attractive-force-type magnetic levitation system expressed as an integer-order system is extended to a fractional-order system expressed using fractional-order derivatives. Then, target value tracking control of a levitated object is achieved by adding states, described by the integrals of the deviation between the output and the target value, to the extended system. Next, a fractional-order LQR controller is designed for the extended system. For state-feedback control, such as fractional-order servo LQR control, which requires the information of all states, a fractional-order state observer is configured to estimate fractional-order states. Simulation results demonstrate that fractional-order servo LQR control can achieve equilibrium point stabilization and enable target value tracking. Finally, to verify the fractional-order servo LQR control effectiveness, experiments using the designed fractional-order servo LQR control law are conducted with comparison to a conventional integer-order servo LQR control.

Fractional-order Sprott K chaotic system and its application to biometric iris image encryption

Fractional-order (FO) chaotic systems exhibit random sequences of significantly greater complexity when compared to integer-order systems. This feature makes FO chaotic systems more secure against various attacks in image cryptosystems. In this study, the dynamical characteristics of the FO Sprott K chaotic system are thoroughly investigated by phase planes, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponential spectrums to be utilized in biometric iris image encryption. It is proven with the numerical studies the Sprott K system demonstrates chaotic behaviour when the order of the system is selected as 0.9. Afterward, the introduced FO Sprott K chaotic system-based biometric iris image encryption design is carried out in the study. According to the results of the statistical and attack analyses of the encryption design, the secure transmission of biometric iris images is successful using the proposed encryption design. Thus, the FO Sprott K chaotic system can be employed effectively in chaos-based encryption applications.

Chaotic Dynamic Behavior of a Fractional-Order Financial System with Constant Inelastic Demand

The establishment of a financial system should not only consider the current situation, but also need to refer to the past. Due to the memory of the fractional derivative, a fractional-order system can more effectively describe the historical significance of the financial system. Most scholars use the prediction–correction scheme to study fractional-order systems. This paper provides a higher-precision numerical method for the financial system, which more effectively simulate the system. Based on the definition of the Grünwald–Letnikov fractional derivative, the integer-order system with nonconstant demand elasticity is extended to the fractional-order setting, and its dynamic behavior is studied, with some novel chaotic attractors found. The research results are helpful for improving the understanding of the financial system and the financial market and for predicting financial risks.

Stability Analysis of a Fractional-Order African Swine Fever Model with Saturation Incidence.

This article proposes and analyzes a fractional-order African Swine Fever model with saturation incidence. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution is proven. Secondly, the basic reproduction number and the sufficient conditions for the existence of two equilibriums are obtained. Thirdly, the local and global stability of disease-free equilibrium is studied using the LaSalle invariance principle. Next, some numerical simulations are conducted based on the Adams-type predictor-corrector method to verify the theoretical results, and sensitivity analysis is performed on some parameters. Finally, discussions and conclusions are presented. The theoretical results show that the value of the fractional derivative α will affect both the coordinates of the equilibriums and the speed at which the equilibriums move towards stabilization. When the value of α becomes larger or smaller, the stability of the equilibriums will be changed, which shows the difference between the fractional-order systems and the classical integer-order system.

Nonstationary random vibration analysis of hysteretic systems with fractional derivatives by FFT-based frequency domain method

Nonstationary random vibration problems of nonlinear fractional systems are challenging and drawing increasing attention. This study presents an efficient numerical method for the random vibration analysis of large-scale nonlinear fractional systems subjected to fully nonstationary excitations. Firstly, the fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based frequency domain method originally proposed for the nonstationary random vibration analysis of linear integer-order systems is extended to linear fractional systems, in which the explicit expression of dynamic responses of fractional systems is derived based on the load superposition principle and Newmark method. Secondly, an equivalent linearization analysis framework is constructed to solve the nonstationary responses of hysteretic systems with fractional derivatives, in which the nonstationary response analyses of equivalent linear systems are accomplished by the FFT-based frequency domain method. The presented method can account for nonstationary excitations with arbitrary forms of evolutionary power spectrum, even of the non-separable one. Two numerical examples are used to confirm its superior performance in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.

Investigating the Dynamic Behavior of Integer and Noninteger Order System of Predation with Holling’s Response

The paper’s primary objective is to examine the dynamic behavior of an integer and noninteger predator–prey system with a Holling type IV functional response in the Caputo sense. Our focus is on understanding how harvesting influences the stability, equilibria, bifurcations, and limit cycles within this system. We employ qualitative and quantitative analysis methods rooted in bifurcation theory, dynamical theory, and numerical simulation. We also delve into studying the boundedness of solutions and investigating the stability and existence of equilibrium points within the system. Leveraging Sotomayor’s theorem, we establish the presence of both the saddle-node and transcritical bifurcations. The analysis of the Hopf bifurcation is carried out using the normal form theorem. The model under consideration is extended to the fractional reaction–diffusion model which captures non-local and long-range effects more accurately than integer-order derivatives. This makes fractional reaction–diffusion systems suitable for modeling phenomena with anomalous diffusion or memory effects, improving the fidelity of simulations in turn. An adaptable numerical technique for solving this class of differential equations is also suggested. Through simulation results, we observe that one of the Lyapunov exponents has a negative value, indicating the potential for the emergence of a stable-limit cycle via bifurcation as well as chaotic and complex spatiotemporal distributions. We supplement our analytical investigations with numerical simulations to provide a comprehensive understanding of the system’s behavior. It was discovered that both the prey and predator populations will continue to coexist and be permanent, regardless of the choice of fractional parameter.

Robust digital image watermarking scheme with a fractional-order discrete-time chaotic scheme and DWT-SVD transform

A robust digital image watermarking system with a fractional-order discrete-time chaotic system and discrete wavelet transform-singular value decomposition is presented. The inclusion method inserts an encrypted image into the dynamics of an integer-order discrete-time chaotic system and the resulting cipher serves as a host image watermark. A watermarking function (DWT-SVD transform) watermarks a host image before the watermark is extracted and decrypted at the receiver. As a contribution, our suggested approach introduces a new watermarking system based on discrete-time chaotic systems, as well as a hybridization of integer and fractional-order systems to ensure the watermarking scheme’s robustness. Our method achieved good results in terms of robustness, with normalized cross correlation values above 0.99 when subjected to a range of attacks. Results of the simulation underline practicality and robustness achieved by this approach. They also indicate that the proposed system resists various attacks.

Computational analysis of rabies and its solution by applying fractional operator

Numerous novel concepts in fractional mathematics have been created to provide numerical models for a variety of real-world, engineering, and scientific challenges because of the kernel's memory and non-local effects. In this post, we have looked at a deadly illness known as rabies. For our analysis, we employed the Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivative in Caputo sense. Additionally, the mathematical answer was obtained by applying the Laplace transform. Our approach is distinct, and we illustrated the vital role immunizations play in limiting the spread of the illness using graphical data. Furthermore, in this article, we have shown that fractional order systems are preferable to integer order systems.

Design of fractional MOIF and MOPIF controller using PSO algorithm for the stabilization of an inverted pendulum‐cart system

AbstractThe topic of this paper is the design of two fractional order schemes, based on a state feedback for linear integer order system. In the first one of the state feedback is associated with a fractional order integral () controller. In the second structure the state feedback is associated with a fractional order proportional integral () controller. With such controllers, the closed loop system with state feedback described by the state equations splits in n‐subsystems with different fractional orders derivatives of the state variable. In order to find the optimal parameters value of both controllers () and (), a multi‐objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used, with the integral of absolute error, the overshoot , the Buslowicz stability criterion are considered as objective functions. The multi‐objective integral fractional order controller and the multi‐objective proportional integral fractional order controller are applied to stabilize the inverted pendulum‐cart system (IP‐C), and their performance is compared to the fractional order controller. The simulation results of these innovative controllers are also compared with those obtained by conventional proportional–integral–derivative and fractional order proportional–integral–derivative controllers. The robustness of the proposed controllers against disturbances is investigated through simulation runs, considering the non‐linear model of the IP‐C system. The obtained results demonstrate that our approach not only leads to high effectiveness but also showcases remarkable robustness, supported by both simulation and experimental results.

H∞ observer-based controller synthesis for fractional order systems over finite frequency range

This paper focuses on the H∞ observer-based control problem for fractional order systems (FOSs) over finite frequency range. Firstly, as an extension to the KYP lemma, the structure singular value–μ and its upper bound are analyzed and determined. The necessary and sufficient conditions of the H∞ performance for FOSs over finite frequency range are given through the generalized μ analysis method. This method is different from the traditional μ-analysis method, which is only suitable for integer order systems. Secondly, according to these obtained LMI-based criteria for H∞ performance index and a key projection lemma, we design an H∞ observer-based controller to stabilize the estimation error and decrease the H∞ norm for the FOS simultaneously. With the help of the matrix congruence transformation, the feedback gain matrix is parameterized by a scalar matrix. Thirdly, to deal with the nonlinear terms in matrix inequalities, an iterative linear matrix inequality (ILMI) algorithm is developed. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to explain the correctness of the established results.

Stability analysis of fractional order breast cancer model in chemotherapy patients with cardiotoxicity by applying LADM

AbstractBreast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Chemotherapy is primarily used for patients with stage 2 to 4 breast cancer. Most chemotherapy drugs are effective at destroying rapidly growing and proliferating cancer cells. However, drugs also damage normal, rapidly growing cells, which can lead to serious side effects. Breast cancer treatment with chemotherapy can affect heart health. Side effects of chemotherapy on the heart are called cardiotoxicity. Therefore, we have constructed a mathematical model from the breast cancer patient population. In this article, we utilize the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional order derivative for mathematical modeling of the breast cancer stages in chemotherapy patients. The use of Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative provides a more valuable insight into the complexity of the breast cancer model. The stability of the fractional order model is also proven by the $\mathscr{P}$ P -stable approach of the fixed point theorem. Also, the numerical simulations are performed via Laplace Adomian decomposition method to establish the dependence of the breast cancer dynamics on the order of the fractional derivatives. Based on the geometric results in the figures, we can conclude that the magnitude of the fractional order has a considerable impact on the days, which the maximum or minimum of the system solutions are reached, with a shift in the time at which this happens as the fractional order decreases from 1. However, it is obvious that the solutions of Caputo–Fabrizio fractional model approach the relevant results of the classical integer order system, when the fractional order approaches to 1.

Modeling and Analysis of Fractional Order Logistic Equation Incorporating Additive Allee Effect

This study investigates the logistic model of a single species incorporating the additive Allee effect using Caputo fractional order differential equations. The Allee effect describes a positive correlation between individual fitness and population density at low densities. Populations subjected to the strong Allee effect can move towards extinction when their population is below a critical level. This study calculates the threshold level of the population suffering from the strong Allee effect. Various published studies are showing that fractional order models are more appropriate for explaining real-world phenomena than ordinary integer-order systems; therefore, this study involves the use of the Caputo fractional order derivative. Single-species models have been extensively used in mathematical biology, such as insect control, optimal biological resource planning, epidemic avoidance and control, and cell growth regulation. This study can help save vulnerable species from extinction and eliminate unwanted species by subjecting them to a strong Allee effect using artificial strategies.

The breaking of Mermin-Wagner-Hohenberg's theorem for fractional systems

The Mermin-Wagner-Hohenberg theorem forbids the existence of long range order in two dimensional systems, since continuous symmetries cannot be spontaneously broken in d≤2. However, one of the premises for the validity of the theorem is that the energy-momentum dispersion of the quanta responsible for the order parameter fluctuations has a quadratic form, ε(k)=Ak2. In this paper we address the emergence of a fractional order energy-momentum dispersion in d-dimensional systems, leading to important consequences for the existence of long-range order in the case d=2. A first order renormalization group analysis in the ϵ-expansion is also performed in the fractional regime. It is shown that for fractional systems the universality classes are characterized by the number of spatial dimensions d and the number of components n of the order parameter, as in the case of integer order systems, but the labeling by the fractional order α is also required.

Enhanced general conformable controller based on Lyapunov technique for DC-DC static converters: Application to a solar system

<abstract> <p>To synthesize the proper control signal while guaranteeing the necessary performance indices (speed, resilience, accuracy, etc.), mathematical models were frequently used to represent physical systems. These descriptions were utilized for control, monitoring, and detection in these kinds of systems. Quality and performance of the process may suffer if the model is inaccurate or incomplete. As a result, conformable systems (CS) may be used to make these mathematical models more near to the real world. However, non-power-electronics experts who need to model and simulate complex systems may find the task of modeling static converters to be rather challenging. Researchers have just recently outlined the properties of the general conformable systems (GCS). This innovative approach built upon the principle of the classical integer order systems, employing the same mathematical foundations for its derivation. With the introduction of this novel description of systems, a fresh array of differential equations emerged, specifically tailored for the realm of direct current to direct current (DC-DC) static converters. GCS has been proved to be more flexible and profitable than the traditional integer-order one for representing DC-DC static converters. This advancement paved the way for more effective control techniques based on the Lyapunov method, with practical applications in photovoltaic (PV) systems and beyond.</p> </abstract>

Loewner integer-order approximation of MIMO fractional-order systems

A state–space integer–order approximation of commensurate–order systems is obtained using a data–driven interpolation approach based on Loewner matrices. Precisely, given the values of the original fractional–order transfer function at a number of generalised frequencies, a descriptor–form state–space model matching these frequency response values is constructed from a suitable Loewner matrix pencil, as already suggested for the reduction of high–dimensional integer–order systems. Even if the stability of the resulting integer–order system cannot be guaranteed, such an approach is particularly suitable for approximating (infinite–dimensional) fractional–order systems because: (i) the order of the approximation is bounded by half the number of interpolation points, (ii) the procedure is more robust and simple than alternative approximation methods, and (iii) the procedure is fairly flexible and often leads to satisfactory results, as shown by some examples discussed at the end of the article. Clearly, the approximation depends on the location, spacing and number of the generalised interpolation frequencies but there is no particular reason to choose the interpolation frequencies on the imaginary axis, which is a natural choice in integer–order model reduction, since this axis does not correspond to the stability boundary of the original fractional–order system.

A new 3D fractional-order chaotic system with complex dynamics

Compared to integer-order chaotic systems, fractional-order chaotic systems have more complex dynamical features due to the introduction of order. The application of fractional-order chaotic systems to chaotic cryptosystems makes the cryptosystems with higher security properties. In this paper, we developed a new 3D fractional-order chaotic system from a 3D integer-order chaotic system, and investigate the dynamical behaviors of this fractional-order system with different parameters and orders. Moreover, self-excited attractors appeared at lower orders through circuit simulations. Furthermore, the synchronization of the new fractional-order chaotic system in the presence of systematic uncertainties and perturbations was achieved using the sliding mode control technique, which sets the stage for the implementation of communication. Finally, offset boosting control was used to investigate the utility of the new chaotic system in engineering applications.
