<abstract><p>The core of the demonstration of this paper is to interpret the forward propagation process of machine learning as a parameter estimation problem of nonlinear dynamical systems. This process is to establish a connection between the Recurrent Neural Network and the discrete differential equation, so as to construct a new network structure: ODE-RU. At the same time, under the inspiration of the theory of ordinary differential equations, we propose a new forward propagation mode. In a large number of simulations and experiments, the forward propagation not only shows the trainability of the new architecture, but also achieves a low training error on the basis of main-taining the stability of the network. For the problem requiring long-term memory, we specifically study the obstacle shape reconstruction problem using the backscattering far-field features data set, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture using the data set. The results show that the network can effectively reduce the sensitivity to small changes in the input feature. And the error generated by the ordinary differential equation cyclic unit network in inverting the shape and position of obstacles is less than $ 10^{-2} $.</p></abstract>

Synchronization in complex networks is an evergreen subject with many practical applications across the natural and social sciences. The stability of synchronization is thereby crucial for determining whether the dynamical behavior is stable or not. The master stability function is commonly used to that effect. In this paper, we study whether there is a relation between the stability of synchronization and the proximity to certain bifurcation types. We consider four different nonlinear dynamical systems, and we determine their master stability functions in dependence on key bifurcation parameters. We also calculate the corresponding bifurcation diagrams. By means of systematic comparisons, we show that, although there are some variations in the master stability functions in dependence on bifurcation proximity and type, there is in fact no general relation between synchronization stability and bifurcation type. This has important implication for the restrained generalizability of findings concerning synchronization in complex networks for one type of node dynamics to others.

This paper presents a FBFN-based (Fuzzy Basis Function Networks) adaptive sliding mode control algorithm for nonlinear dynamic systems. Firstly, we designed an perfect control law according to the nominal plant. However, there always exists discrepancy between nominal and actual mode, and the FBFN was applied to approximate the uncertainty. After that, the adaptive law was designed to update the parameters of FBFN to alleviate the approximating errors. Based on the theory of Lyapunov stability, the stability of the adaptive controller was given with a sufficient condition. Simulation example was also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

In this paper, a new method is proposed for controlling bifurcations of nonlinear dynamical systems. This approach employs the idea used in deriving the transition variety sets of bifurcations with constraints to find the stability region of equilibrium points in parameter space. With this method, one can design, via a feedback control, appropriate parameter values to delay either static, or dynamic or both bifurcations as one wishes. The approach is applied to consider controlling bifurcations of the Ro¨ssler system. The uncontrolled Ro¨ssler has two equilibrium solutions, one of which exhibits static bifurcation while the other has Hopf bifurcation. When a feedback control based on the new method is applied, one can delay the bifurcations and even change the type of bifurcations. An optimal control law is obtained to stabilize the Ro¨ssler system using all feasible system parameter values. Numerical simulations are used to verify the analytical results.

State observers for systems having Lipschitz nonlinearities are considered for what concerns the stability of the estimation error by means of a decomposition of the dynamics of the error into the cascade of two systems. First, conditions are established in order to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the estimation error in a noise-free setting. Second, under the effect of system and measurement disturbances regarded as unknown inputs affecting the dynamics of the error, the proposed observers provide an estimation error that is input-to-state stable with respect to these disturbances. Lyapunov functions and functionals are adopted to prove such results. Third, simulations are shown to confirm the theoretical achievements and the effectiveness of the stability conditions we have established.

Degenerate (or singular) Hopf bifurcations of a certain type determine the appearance of multiple limit cycles under system parameter perturbations. In the study of these degenerate Hopf bifurcations, computational formulas for the stability indexes (i.e., curvature coefficients) are essential. However, such formulas are very difficult to derive, and so are usually computed by different approximation methods. Inspired by the feedback control systems methodology and the harmonic balance approximation technique, higher-order approximate formulas for such curvature coefficients are derived in this paper in the frequency domain setting. The results obtained are then applied to a study of nonlinear dynamical systems within the region of one periodic solution, bypassing a direct investigation of the multiple limit cycles and some tedious discussion of the complex multiplicity issue. Finally, we will show that several types of stability bifurcations can be controlled based on the results obtained in this paper.

In this study stochastic analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems under a-stable, multiplicative white noise has been performed. Analysis has been conducted by means of the Itoˆ rule extended to the case of α-stable noises. In this context the order of increments of Levy process has been evaluated and differential equations ruling the evolutions of statistical moments of either parametrically and external dynamical systems have been obtained. The extended Itoˆ rule has also been used to yield the differential equation ruling the evolution of the characteristic function for parametrically excited dynamical systems. The Fourier transform of the characteristic function, namely the probability density function is ruled by the extended Einstein-Smoluchowsky differential equation to case of parametrically excited dynamical systems. Some numerical applications have been reported to assess the reliability of the proposed formulation.

We demonstrate a method for tracking the onset of oscillations (Hopf bifurcation) in nonlinear dynamical systems. Our method does not require a mathematical model of the dynamical system but instead relies on feedback controllability. This makes the approach potentially applicable in an experiment. The main advantage of our method is that it allows one to vary parameters directly along the stability boundary. In other words, there is no need to observe the transient oscillations of the dynamical system for a long time to determine their decay or growth. Moreover, the procedure automatically tracks the change of the critical frequency along the boundary and is able to continue the Hopf bifurcation curve into parameter regions where other modes are unstable.We illustrate the basic ideas with a numerical realization of the classical autonomous dry friction oscillator.

Composition algorithms make up a prospective class of methods for solving ordinary differential equations. Their main advantage is an ability to retain some properties of the simulated continuous systems, e.g. phase space volume. Meanwhile, computational costs of composition solvers for non-Hamiltonian systems are high because the implicit midpoint rule should be used as a basic method. This also complicates the development of embedded applications based on the numerical solution of ODEs, such as hardware chaos generators. In this article, a new semi-explicit composition methods are proposed. The stability regions for different composition algorithms were plotted and a memcapacitor circuit was studied as a test problem. Computational experiments reveal the superior properties of semi-explicit composition algorithms as a hardware-targeted ODE solvers. The obtained results imply that the development of semi-explicit composition algorithms is a step towards construction a new generation of simulation software for nonlinear dynamical systems and embedded chaos generators.

The effect of damping on the behaviour of oscillations in the vicinity of bifurcations of nonlinear dynamical systems is investigated. Here, our primary focus is single degree-of-freedom conservative systems to which a small linear viscous energy dissipation has been added. Oscillators with saddle–node, pitchfork and transcritical bifurcations are shown analytically to exhibit several interesting characteristics in the free decay response near a bifurcation. A simple mechanical oscillator with a transcritical bifurcation is used to experimentally verify the analytical results. A transcritical bifurcation was selected because it may be used to represent generic bifurcation behaviour. It is shown that the damping ratio can be used to predict a change in the stability with respect to changing system parameters.
