Abstract Flexible robots with controllable mechanisms have advantages over common tandem robots in vibration magnitude, residual vibration time, working speed, and efficiency. However, abnormal vibration can sometimes occur during their use, affecting their normal operation. In order to better understand the causes of this abnormal vibration, our work takes a controllable flexible robot as a research object, and uses a combination of Lagrangian and finite element methods to establish its nonlinear elastic dynamics. The effectiveness of the model is verified by comparing the frequency of the numerical calculation and the test. The time-domain diagram, phase diagram, Poincaré map, and maximum Lyapunov exponent of the elastic motion of the robot wrist are studied, and the chaotic phenomena in the system are identified through the phase diagram, Poincaré map, and the maximum Lyapunov exponent. The relationship between the parameters of the robot motion and the maximum Lyapunov exponent is discussed, including trajectory angular speed and radius. The results show that chaotic behavior exists in the controllable flexible robot, and that trajectory angular speed and radius all have an influence on the chaotic motion, which provides a theoretical basis for further research on the control and optimal design of the mechanism.

With amplitude modulated excitation, the effect on chaotic behavior of Φ6-Rayleigh oscillator with three wells is investigated in this paper. The Melnikov theorem is used to detect the conditions for possible occurrence of chaos. The results show that the domain of the appearance of chaos is enlarged as both amplitudes of modulated and unmodulated forces increase. The effect of these two amplitudes, when both frequencies of modulated and unmodulated forces are different, on bifurcation diagram and Poincaré map is also investigated, in addition to the surface of Maximal Lyapunov exponent versus modulated and unmodulated parameters for suppressing chaos being shown.

The intention of this research is to investigate the aspect of non-linearity and chaotic behavior of the Cyprus stock market. For this purpose, we use non-linearity and chaos theory. We perform BDS, Hinich-Bispectral tests and compute Lyapunov exponent of the Cyprus General index. The results show that existence of non-linear dependence and chaotic features as the maximum Lyapunov exponent was found to be positive. This study is important because chaos and efficient market hypothesis are mutually exclusive aspects. The efficient market hypothesis which requires returns to be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) cannot be accepted.

In this paper, chaos in the smooth Chua's equation is revisited. To confirm the chaotic behavior in the smooth Chua's equation demonstrated in numerical studies, we resort to Poincaré section and Poincaré map technique and present a computer assisted verification of existence of horseshoe chaos by virtue of topological horseshoes theory.

A hypothesis was proposed that during the bipedal walking, there appear stable periodic movements in certain variables (self-oscillations). In this case, it is possible to easily change parameters of this periodic locomotion using open (without feedback) control loops with respect to some of the variables. As the first stage in testing this hypothesis, dynamics of the walking wheel downward movement along an inclined plane was analytically studied. Walking wheel is the simplest model of passive bipedal walking. When it moves, energy is supplied to the system due to the force of gravity action. It is shown that point mapping of the wheel angular speed alteration per step (Poincare map) in the overwhelming majority of cases has one fixed point. This fixed point corresponds either to stable periodic solution (self-oscillation), which is the wheel rolling down an inclined plane, or to the wheel movement ending with its termination as a result of the endless series of impacts with swinging on two legs. In the degenerate case, the Poincare map has two fixed points. One of them corresponds to the unstable limiting cycle matching the wheel rolling, and the second corresponds to a wheel stop. In this case, the limiting cycle is stable outside and unstable inside itself

This paper deals with a stage-structured predator–prey system which incorporates cannibalism in the predator population and harvesting in both population. The predator population is categorized into two divisions; adult predator and juvenile predator. The adult predator and prey species are harvested via hypothesis of catch-per-unit-effort, whereas juveniles are safe from being harvested. Mathematically, the dynamic behavior of the system such as existing conditions of equilibria with their stability is studied. The global asymptotic stability of prey-free equilibrium point and nonzero equilibrium point, if they exist, is proved by considering respective Lyapunov functions. The system undergoes transcritical and Hopf–Andronov bifurcations. The impacts of predator harvesting rate and prey harvesting rate on the system are analyzed by taking them as bifurcation parameters. The route to chaos is discussed by showing maximum Lyapunov exponent to be positive with sensitivity dependence on the initial conditions. The chaotic behavior of the system is confirmed by positive maximum Lyapunov exponent and non-integer Kaplan–Yorke dimension. Numerical simulations are executed to probe our theoretic findings. Also, the optimal harvesting policy is studied by applying Pontryagin’s maximum principle. Harvesting effort being an emphatic control instrument is considered to protect prey–predator population, and preserve them also through an optimal level.

In this study, the subject of investigation was the dynamic double pendulum crank mechanism used in a robotic arm. The arm is driven by a DC motor though the crank system and connected to a fixed side with a mount that includes a single spring and damping. Robotic arms are now widely used in industry, and the requirements for accuracy are stringent. There are many factors that can cause the induction of nonlinear or asymmetric behavior and even excite chaotic motion. In this study, bifurcation diagrams were used to analyze the dynamic response, including stable symmetric orbits and periodic and chaotic motions of the system under different damping and stiffness parameters. Behavior under different parameters was analyzed and verified by phase portraits, the maximum Lyapunov exponent, and Poincaré mapping. Firstly, to distinguish instability in the system, phase portraits and Poincaré maps were used for the identification of individual images, and the maximum Lyapunov exponents were used for prediction. GoogLeNet and ResNet-50 were used for image identification, and the results were compared using a convolutional neural network (CNN). This widens the convolutional layer and expands pooling to reduce network training time and thickening of the image; this deepens the network and strengthens performance. Secondly, the maximum Lyapunov exponent was used as the key index for the indication of chaos. Gaussian process regression (GPR) and the back propagation neural network (BPNN) were used with different amounts of data to quickly predict the maximum Lyapunov exponent under different parameters. The main finding of this study was that chaotic behavior occurs in the robotic arm system and can be more efficiently identified by ResNet-50 than by GoogLeNet; this was especially true for Poincaré map diagnosis. The results of GPR and BPNN model training on the three types of data show that GPR had a smaller error value, and the GPR-21 × 21 model was similar to the BPNN-51 × 51 model in terms of error and determination coefficient, showing that GPR prediction was better than that of BPNN. The results of this study allow the formation of a highly accurate prediction and identification model system for nonlinear and chaotic motion in robotic arms.

In this article, two models of the forecast of time series obtained from the chaotic dynamic systems are presented: the Lorenz system, the manufacture system, and the volume of the Great Salt Lake of Utah. The theory of the nonlinear dynamic systems indicates the capacity of making good-quality predictions of series coming from dynamic systems with chaotic behavior up to a temporal horizon determined by the inverse of the major Lyapunov exponent. The analysis of the Fourier power spectrum and the calculation of the maximum Lyapunov exponent allow confirming the origin of the series from a chaotic dynamic system. The delay time and the global dimension are employed as parameters in the models of forecast of artificial neuronal networks (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM). This research demonstrates how forecast models built with ANN and SVM have the capacity of making forecasts of good quality, in a superior temporal horizon at the determined interval by the inverse of the maximum Lyapunov exponent or theoretical forecast frontier before deteriorating exponentially.

Detection of chaos in experimental data is a crucial issue in nonlinear science. Historically, one of the first evidences of a chaotic behavior in experimental recordings came from laser physics. In a recent work, a Minimal Universal Model of chaos was developed by revisiting the model of laser with feedback, and a first electronic implementation was discussed. Here, we propose an upgraded electronic implementation of the Minimal Universal Model, which allows for a precise and reproducible analysis of the model’s parameters space. As a marker of a possible chaotic behavior the variability of the spiking activity that characterizes one of the system’s coordinates was used. Relying on a numerical characterization of the relationship between spiking activity and maximum Lyapunov exponent at different parameter combinations, several potentially chaotic settings were selected. The analysis via divergence exponent method of experimental time series acquired by using those settings confirmed a robust chaotic behavior and provided values of the maximum Lyapunov exponent that are in very good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The results of this work further uphold the reliability of the Minimal Universal Model. In addition, the upgraded electronic implementation provides an easily controllable setup that allows for further developments aiming at coupling multiple chaotic systems and investigating synchronization processes.

A new no-equilibrium chaotic system is reported in this paper. Numerical simulation techniques, including phase portraits and Lyapunov exponents, are used to investigate its basic dynamical behavior. To confirm the chaotic behavior of this system, the existence of topological horseshoe is proven via the Poincaré map and topological horseshoe theory.
