Stabilizing multiple equilibria and cycles with noisy prediction-based control

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Pulse stabilization of cycles with Prediction-Based Control including noise and stochastic stabilization of maps with multiple equilibrium points is analyzed for continuous but, generally, non-smooth maps. Sufficient conditions of global stabilization are obtained. Introduction of noise can relax restrictions on the control intensity. We estimate how the control can be decreased with noise and verify it numerically.</p>

The equilibrium states of large networks of Erlang queues

The equilibrium properties of allocation algorithms for networks with a large number of nodes with finite capacity are investigated. Every node receives a flow of requests. When a request arrives at a saturated node, i.e. a node whose capacity is fully utilized, an allocation algorithm may attempt to reallocate the request to a non-saturated node. For the algorithms considered, the reallocation comes at a price: either extra capacity is required in the system, or the processing time of a reallocated request is increased. The paper analyzes the properties of the equilibrium points of the associated asymptotic dynamical system when the number of nodes gets large. At this occasion the classical model of Gibbens, Hunt, and Kelly (1990) in this domain is revisited. The absence of known Lyapunov functions for the corresponding dynamical system significantly complicates the analysis. Several techniques are used. Analytic and scaling methods are used to identify the equilibrium points. We identify the subset of parameters for which the limiting stochastic model of these networks has multiple equilibrium points. Probabilistic approaches are used to prove the stability of some of them. A criterion of exponential stability with the spectral gap of the associated linear operator of equilibrium points is also obtained.

A new hyperchaotic particle motion system and its control

This paper formulates a new hyperchaotic system for particle motion. The continuous dependence on initial conditions of the system’s solution and the equilibrium stability, bifurcation, energy function of the system are analyzed. The hyperchaotic behaviors in the motion of the particle on a horizontal smooth plane are also investigated. It shows that the rich dynamic behaviors of the system, including the degenerate Hopf bifurcations and nondegenerate Hopf bifurcations at multiple equilibrium points, the irregular variation of Hamiltonian energy, and the hyperchaotic attractors. These results generalize and improve some known results about the particle motion system. Furthermore, the constraint of hyperchaos control is obtained by applying Lagrange’s method and the constraint change the system from a hyperchaotic state to asymptotically state. The numerical simulations are carried out to verify theoretical analyses and to exhibit the rich hyperchaotic behaviors.
