In this paper, we propose a multilevel network perspective for the conceptualization of the dynamics underlying supply chains in the presence of competition. The multilevel network consists of: the logistical network, the informational network, and the financial network. We describe the behavior of the network decisionmakers, which are spatially separated and which consist of the manufacturers and producing firms, the retailers, and the consumers located at the demand markets. We propose a projected dynamical system, along with stability analysis results, that captures the adjustments of the commodity shipments and the prices over space and time. A discrete-time adjustment process is described and implemented in order to illustrate in several numerical examples the evolution of the commodity shipments and prices to the equilibrium solution.

An innovative stability analysis approach for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks (DSNNs) with time-varying delays is developed. By constructing a novel piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional candidate, a new sum inequality is presented to deal with sum items without ignoring any useful items, the model transformation is no longer needed, and the free weighting matrices are added to reduce the conservatism in the derivation of our results, so the improvement of computational efficiency can be expected. Numerical examples and simulations are also given to show the effectiveness and less conservatism of the proposed criteria.

This study proposes a nonlinear min-cost-pursued swapping dynamic (NMSD) system to model the evolution of selfish routing games on traffic network where travelers only swap from previous costly routes to the least costly ones. NMSD is a rational behavior adjustment process with stationary link flow pattern being the Wardrop user equilibrium. NMSD is able to prevent two behavioral deficiencies suffered by the existing min-cost-oriented models and keep solution invariance. NMSD relaxes the homogeneous user assumption, and the continuous-time NMSD (CNMSD) and discrete-time NMSD (DNMSD) share the same revision protocol. Moreover, CNMSD is Lyapunov-stable. Two numerical examples are conducted. The first one is designed to characterize the NMSD-conducted network traffic evolution and test the stability of day-to-day NMSD. The second one aims to explore the impacts of network scale on the stability of route-swaps conducted by pairwise and min-cost-pursed swapping behaviors.

Stability analysis of dynamical system is very useful and is able to classify the role of stable and unstable equilibrium points. In this work, Naiver–Stokes system has been studied by using KCC theory. The Jacobi stability and dynamics of the deviation vector near equilibrium points have been also studied. Further, the effect of bifurcation parameter on stability of Navier–Stokes system has been observed and found the limiting conditions for bifurcation. Numerical examples of particular interest have been taken to compare the results of Jacobi stability and linear stability. It is observed that Jacobi stability on the basis of KCC theory is more efficient than the linear stability.

AbstractIn this research work, a newly-proposed multiterm hybrid multi-order fractional boundary value problem is studied. The existence results for the supposed hybrid fractional differential equation that involves Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives and integrals of multi-orders type are derived using Dhage’s technique, which deals with a composition of three operators. After that, its stability analysis of Ulam–Hyers type and the relevant generalizations are checked. Some illustrative numerical examples are provided at the end to illustrate and validate our obtained results.
