Controlling stability of dynamical systems is one of the most important challenges in science and engineering. Hence, there appears to be continuous need to study and develop numerical algorithms of control methods. One of the most frequently applied invariants characterizing systems’ stability are Lyapunov exponents (LE). When information about the stability of a system is demanded, it can be determined based on the value of the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE). Recently, we have shown that LLE can be estimated from the vector field properties by means of the most basic mathematical operations. The present article introduces new methods of LLE estimation for continuous systems and maps. We have shown that application of our approaches will introduce significant improvement of the efficiency. We have also proved that our approach is simpler and more efficient than commonly applied algorithms. Moreover, as our approach works in the case of dynamical maps, it also enables an easy application of this method in noncontinuous systems. We show comparisons of efficiencies of algorithms based our approach. In the last paragraph, we discuss a possibility of the estimation of LLE from maps and for noncontinuous systems and present results of our initial investigations.

The moment stochastic stability and almost-sure stochastic stability of two-degree-of-freedom coupled viscoelastic systems, under the parametric excitation of a real noise, are investigated through the moment Lyapunov exponents and the largest Lyapunov exponent, respectively. The real noise is also called the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process. For small damping and weak random fluctuation, the moment Lyapunov exponents are determined approximately by using the method of stochastic averaging and a formulated eigenvalue problem. The largest Lyapunov exponent is calculated through its relation with moment Lyapunov exponents. The stability index, the stability boundaries, and the critical excitation are obtained analytically. The effects of various parameters on the stochastic stability of the system are then discussed in detail. Monte Carlo simulation is carried out to verify the approximate results of moment Lyapunov exponents. As an application example, the stochastic stability of a flexural-torsional viscoelastic beam is studied.

Abstract Background Understanding the underlying architecture of mood regulation in bipolar disorder (BD) is important, as we are starting to conceptualize BD as a more complex disorder than one of recurring manic or depressive episodes. Nonlinear techniques are employed to understand and model the behavior of complex systems. Our aim was to assess the underlying nonlinear properties that account for mood and energy fluctuations in patients with BD; and to compare whether these processes were different in healthy controls (HC) and unaffected first-degree relatives (FDR). We used three different nonlinear techniques: Lyapunov exponent, detrended fluctuation analysis and fractal dimension to assess the underlying behavior of mood and energy fluctuations in all groups; and subsequently to assess whether these arise from different processes in each of these groups. Results There was a positive, short-term autocorrelation for both mood and energy series in all three groups. In the mood series, the largest Lyapunov exponent was found in HC (1.84), compared to BD (1.63) and FDR (1.71) groups [F (2, 87) = 8.42, p < 0.005]. A post-hoc Tukey test showed that Lyapunov exponent in HC was significantly higher than both the BD (p = 0.003) and FDR groups (p = 0.03). Similarly, in the energy series, the largest Lyapunov exponent was found in HC (1.85), compared to BD (1.76) and FDR (1.67) [F (2, 87) = 11.02; p < 0.005]. There were no significant differences between groups for the detrended fluctuation analysis or fractal dimension. Conclusions The underlying nature of mood variability is in keeping with that of a chaotic system, which means that fluctuations are generated by deterministic nonlinear process(es) in HC, BD, and FDR. The value of this complex modeling lies in analyzing the nature of the processes involved in mood regulation. It also suggests that the window for episode prediction in BD will be inevitably short.

Abstract Properties of chaos synchronization have been used for estimation of the largest Lyapunov exponent of a discontinuous mechanical system. A method for such estimation is proposed and an example is shown, based on coupling of two identical systems with dry friction which is modelled according to the Popp-Stelter formula.

Abstract Torsional instabilities in a two-degree-of-freedom system driven by a Hooke’s joint due to random input angular speed fluctuation are investigated. Linearised analytical models are used for calculating the largest Lyapunov exponent. Instability behaviour is then characterised by examining the sign of this exponent. Conditions for the onset of instability via sub-harmonic parametric resonances has been shown to coincide with those for the deterministic case. However, the onset of instability via sum as well as the difference type combination resonance is found to be different from that of the deterministic case. The instability conditions for the system under input angular speed fluctuation have been presented graphically in the excitation frequency-excitation amplitude-top Lyapunov exponent space. Predictions for the deterministic and the stochastic cases are compared. The effect of fluctuation probability density as well as that of inertia loads on the stability behaviour of the system has been examined.

Thailand is an agricultural country. So that, the water resources are important. The water management is very important for keep the water used in necessary time. The monsoon is causes a heavy rain. So that, the monsoon prediction by the global climate model is important. The accuracy of the forecasts by the predictability measurement method is very important. In this research, the northeast monsoon prediction in Thailand by the global climate model. The data from The Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR), University of Bergen, Norway. The global climate model is Bergen Climate Model (BCM) Version 2.0 (BCCR-BCM2.0) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) are used. The largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) is the predictability measurement method for verify the efficiency of the global climate model and improvement the LLE by limit theorems. The result to show that the improvement the LLE by limit theorems can be measure the accuracy of the northeast monsoon prediction in Thailand by the global climate model are suitable.
