Flocking dynamics of agents moving with a constant speed and a randomly switching topology

Abstract In this paper, we present a sufficient framework to exhibit the sample path-wise asymptotic flocking dynamics of the Cucker–Smale model with unit-speed constraint and the randomly switching network topology. We employ a matrix formulation of the given equation, which allows us to evaluate the diameter of velocities with respect to the adjacency matrix of the network. Unlike the previous result on the randomly switching Cucker–Smale model, the unit-speed constraint disallows the system to be considered as a nonautonomous linear ordinary differential equation on velocity vector, which forces us to get a weaker form of the flocking estimate than the result for the original Cucker–Smale model.

Shadowing, Hyers–Ulam stability and hyperbolicity for nonautonomous linear delay differential equations

It is known that hyperbolic nonautonomous linear delay differential equations in a finite dimensional space are Hyers–Ulam stable and hence shadowable. The converse result is available only in the special case of autonomous and periodic linear delay differential equations with a simple spectrum. In this paper, we prove the converse and hence the equivalence of all three notions in the title for a general class of nonautonomous linear delay differential equations with uniformly bounded coefficients. The importance of the boundedness assumption is shown by an example.

Large time behavior of nonautonomous linear differential equations with Kirchhoff coefficients

Nonautonomous linear ordinary differential equations with Kirchhoff coefficients are considered. Under appropriate assumptions on the topology of the directed graphs of the coefficients, it is shown that if the Perron vectors of the coefficients are slowly varying at infinity, then every solution is asymptotic to a constant multiple of the Perron vectors at infinity. Our results improve and generalize some recent convergence theorems.

Dynamics of a Leslie-Gower type predation model with non-monotonic functional response and weak Allee effect on prey

This research concerns with analysis of a class of modified predator- prey type Leslie-Gower models. The model is described by an autonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equation system. The functional response of predators is Holling IV type or non-monotone, and the growth of prey is affected by the Allee effect. An important aspect is the study of the point (0, 0) since it has a strong influence on the behavior of the system being essential for the existence and extinction of both species, although the proposed system is not define there.

OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A DYNAMIC SYSTEM WITH NON-SEPARADED POINT AND INTEGRAL CONDITIONS

. In the work, a numerical method is proposed to solve a system of linear nonautonomous ordinary differential equations with non-separated multipoint and integral conditions. The proposed approach is based on the introduced operation of convolution of integral conditions into local ones. The method allows to reduce the solution of the original problem to the solution of Cauchy problem with respect to a system of ordinary differential equations and of linear algebraic equations. The stability of the computational schemes is shown.

Nonuniform μ-dichotomy spectrum and kinematic similarity

For linear nonautonomous differential equations we introduce a new family of spectrums defined with general nonuniform dichotomies: for a given growth rate μ in a large family of growth rates, we consider a notion of spectrum, named nonuniform μ-dichotomy spectrum. This family of spectrums contain the nonuniform dichotomy spectrum as the very particular case of exponential growth rates. For each growth rate μ, we describe all possible forms of the nonuniform μ-dichotomy spectrum, relate its connected components with adapted notions of Lyapunov exponents, and use it to obtain a reducibility result for nonautonomous linear differential equations. We also give illustrative examples where the spectrum is obtained, including a situation where a normal form is obtained for polynomial behavior.

Imaging phase plane models

In application-oriented mathematics, particularly in the context of nonlinear system analysis, phase plane analysis through SageMath offers a visual display of the qualitative behaviour of solutions to differential equations without inundating students with cumbersome calculations of the plane-phase. A variety of examples is usually given to illustrate phase-plane behaviour. We approach these problems by considering a problem containing a single real parameter that exemplifies the various situations clearly and simply. We developed two computer programs in SageMath: one program calculates aspects of the Jacobian matrix and displays the phase plane portraits, the other determines the centre manifold. Computations and images generated with computer codes are useful in understanding dynamic models in biology, physics and engineering that involve planar non-linear autonomous differential equations. This paper covers analytical and computational skills that are helpful for students and teachers.

A Formula of Solutions for Non-Autonomous Linear Difference Equations With a Fractional Forward Operator

Abstract In this article, we define a fractional forward discrete operator. Then, for a family of linear nonautonomous fractional difference equations constructed by using this fractional discrete operator, we provide a practical formula of solutions. This family of problems covers several linear fractional difference equations that appear in the literature. Numerical examples are given to justify our theory.

Magnus integrators for linear and quasilinear delay differential equations

A procedure to numerically integrate non-autonomous linear delay differential equations is presented. It is based on the use of a spectral discretization of the delayed part to transform the original problem into a matrix linear ordinary differential equation which is subsequently solved with numerical integrators obtained from the Magnus expansion. The algorithm can be used in the periodic case to get both accurate approximations of the characteristic multipliers and the solution itself. In addition, it can be extended to deal with certain quasilinear delay equations.

Stability and robust stability of non-autonomous linear differential equations with infinite delay

By the idea of comparison principle, we first introduce novel explicit criteria for the $ \varrho $-stability of general linear non-autonomous functional differential equations with infinite delay. Some characterizations for the time-independent exponential stability are also investigated. We then present a sufficient condition for the exponential stability of the equations subject to time-varying structured perturbations. These results lead to applications to the linear non-autonomous differential system with unbounded delay and the linear non-autonomous integro-differential equations with delay. Some examples are given to illustrate the obtained results.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROPERTIES OF A NONLINEAR SHEAR FLOW MODEL OF THIXOTROPIC MEDIA TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE MUTUAL INFLUENCE OF STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION AND DEFORMATION PROCESS

A systematic analytical study was conducted on the mathematical properties of the previously proposed prototype of a nonlinear Maxwell-type constitutive equation for describing the shear flow of thixotropic media (viscous liquid polymers, viscoelastic melts, concentrated solutions, pastes, emulsions), which takes into account the mutual influence of the deformation process and structural evolution (the kinetics of formation and breaking of intermolecular bonds) on viscosity and shear modulus and the effect of the deformation process on this kinetics. In the uniaxial case, the constitutive equation is governed by a nondecreasing material function and six positive parameters. The equation is reduced to a system of two nonlinear autonomous differential equations for the stress and the structuredness parameter. It is proved that the equilibrium position of this system is unique. The dependences of the position coordinates on all material parameters and on the shear rate for an arbitrary nondecreasing material function are investigated in general form, and all the dependences are proved to be monotonic. Equations for the flow and viscosity curves are derived and investigated. It is proved that the model leads to an increasing dependence of the equilibrium stress on the shear rate and to a decreasing apparent viscosity curve, which reflect the typical properties of the experimental flow curves of pseudoplastic media. Using six arbitrary material parameters and a material function that control the model, we analytically study the phase portrait of the nonlinear system of two differential equations, to which the model is reduced, for dimensionless stress and the degree of structuredness in the vicinity of its only equilibrium position. It is proved that the equilibrium position is always stable and can be of three kinds only: a stable node, a degenerate node, or a stable focus. Criteria for each kind are found in the form of explicit constraints on the material function, model parameters, and shear rate. The existence of a stable focus indicates the nonmonotonicity of the system solutions and the existence of deformation modes with (damped) fluctuations of stress and structuredness when stationary values are reached. The influence of the material parameters and material function on the type of equilibrium point and on the behavior of the model integral curves is analyzed.

Chaotic Cattaneo-LTNE porous convection

The chaotic convection in a porous medium has been studied with a local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) model and hyperbolic-type heat transport equation in the solid arising due to Cattaneo heat flux law. The Brinkman-extended Darcy model is considered to describe the flow in a porous medium. A system of autonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equations is derived by using a truncated double Fourier series expansion such that the linear stability theory results are the same as those for the full two-dimensional problem. The stability of equilibrium points of the system is discussed in detail for the governing parameters involved therein. The transition to chaos in different phase planes and the transient behavior of heat transfer are analyzed by solving the model equations numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg technique. The effect of increasing scaled solid thermal relaxation time parameter is to speed up the transition to chaos and to decrease the heat transfer.

Parabolic differential equations with bounded delay

We show the continuous dependence of solutions of linear nonautonomous second-order parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with bounded delay on coefficients and delay. The assumptions are very weak: only convergence in the weak-* topology of delay coefficients is required. The results are important in the applications of the theory of Lyapunov exponents to the investigation of PDEs with delay.

A Lanczos-type procedure for tensors

The solution of linear non-autonomous ordinary differential equation systems (also known as the time-ordered exponential) is a computationally challenging problem arising in a variety of applications. In this work, we present and study a new framework for the computation of bilinear forms involving the time-ordered exponential. Such a framework is based on an extension of the non-Hermitian Lanczos algorithm to 4-mode tensors. Detailed results concerning its theoretical properties are presented. Moreover, computational results performed on real-world problems confirm the effectiveness of our approach.

A Lanczos-like method for non-autonomous linear ordinary differential equations

The time-ordered exponential is defined as the function that solves a system of coupled first-order linear differential equations with generally non-constant coefficients. In spite of being at the heart of much system dynamics, control theory, and model reduction problems, the time-ordered exponential function remains elusively difficult to evaluate. The *-Lanczos algorithm is a (symbolic) algorithm capable of evaluating it by producing a tridiagonalization of the original differential system. In this paper, we explain how the *-Lanczos algorithm is built from a generalization of Krylov subspaces, and we prove crucial properties, such as the matching moment property. A strategy for its numerical implementation is also outlined and will be subject of future investigation.

Development of a Family of Chaotic Systems with Infinite Equilibria and Its Application for Image Encryption

Fourth-order autonomous nonlinear differential equations can exhibit chaotic properties. In this study, we propose a family of fourth-order chaotic systems with infinite equilibrium points whose equilibria form closed curves of different shapes. First, the phase diagrams and Lyapunov exponents (LEs) of the system family are simulated. The results show that the system family has complex phase diagrams and dynamic behaviors. Simulation analysis of the Poincarè mapping and bifurcation diagrams shows that the system has chaotic characteristics. The circuit simulation model is constructed and simulated in Multisim. The circuit simulation results coincide with the numerical simulation results, which verifies the circuit feasibility of the system. Then, based on Lyapunov stability theory and the adaptive control method, the synchronous control of the system with infinite equilibria is designed. Numerical simulation results verify that the system synchronization with the adaptive control method is well. Finally, the synchronous drive system is used for image encryption, the response system is used for decryption, and color image encryption is realized by combining deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) coding and operating rules. Therefore, this study not only enriched the research on infinite equilibria chaotic systems but also further expanded secure communication technology by combining chaotic synchronization control and DNA coding in image encryption.

Delay-dependent input-output stability conditions for non-autonomous neutral type differential equations in a Banach space

In a Banach space we consider a class of linear non-autonomous neutral type differential equations with several delays. For the considered equations we derive explicit delay-dependent input-output stability conditions. Applications to neutral type integro-differential equations are also discussed.

Evolution equations of the multi-planetary problem with variable masses

AbstractWe investigated the influence of the variability of the masses of planets and the parent star on the dynamic evolution of n planetary systems, considering that the masses of bodies change isotropically with different rates. The methods of canonical perturbation theory, which developed on the basis of aperiodic motion over a quasi-conical cross section and methods of computer algebra were used. 4n evolutionary equations were obtained in analogues of Poincare elements. As an example, the evolutionary equations of the three-planet exosystem K2 − 3 were obtained explicitly, which is a system of 12 linear non-autonomous differential equations. Further, the evolutionary equations will be investigated numerically.
