A novel methodology for constructing a multi-wing chaotic and hyperchaotic system with a unified step function switching control

This paper aims at developing a novel method of constructing a class of multi-wing chaotic and hyperchaotic system by introducing a unified step function. In order to overcome the essential difficulties in iteratively adjusting multiple parameters of conventional multi-parameter control, this paper introduces a unified step function controlled by a single parameter for constructing various multi-wing chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. In particular, to the best of the authors＇ knowledge, this is also the first time to find a non-equilibrium multi-wing hyperchaotic system by means of the unified step function control. According to the heteroclinic loop Shilnikov theorem, some properties for multi-wing attractors and its chaos mechanism are further discussed and analyzed. A circuit for multi-wing systems is designed and implemented for demonstration, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A unified intrinsic functional expansion theory for solitary waves

A new theory is developed here for evaluating solitary waves on water, with results of high accuracy uniformly valid for waves of all heights, from the highest wave with a corner crest of 120 down to very low ones of diminishing height. Solutions are sought for the Euler model by employing a unified expansion of the logarithmic hodograph in terms of a set of intrinsic component functions analytically determined to represent all the intrinsic properties of the wave entity from the wave crest to its outskirts. The unknown coefficients in the expansion are determined by minimization of the mean-square error of the solution, with the minimization optimized so as to take as few terms as needed to attain results as high in accuracy as attainable. In this regard, Stokess formula, F2= tan , relating the wave speed (the Froude number F) and the logarithmic decrement of its wave field in the outskirt, is generalized to establish a new criterion requiring (for minimizing solution error) the functional expansion to contain a finite power series in M terms of Stokess basic term (singular in ), such that 2M is just somewhat beyond unity, i.e. 2M1. This fundamental criterion is fully validated by solutions for waves of various amplitude-to-water depth ratio =a/h, especially about 0.01, at which M=10 by the criterion. In this pursuit, the class of dwarf solitary waves, defined for waves with 0.01, is discovered as a group of problems more challenging than even the highest wave. For the highest wave, a new solution is determined here to give the maximum height hst=0.8331990, and speed Fhst=1.290890, accurate to the last significant figure, which seems to be a new record.

A Unified Approach to the Thermodynamics and Quantum Scaling Functions of One-Dimensional Strongly Attractive SU(w) Fermi Gases

We present a unified derivation of the pressure equation of states, thermodynamics and scaling functions for the one-dimensional （1D） strongly attractive Fermi gases with SU（w） symmetry. These physical quantities provide a rigorous understanding on a universality class of quantum criticality characterized by the critical exponents z = 2 and correlation length exponent v= 1/2. Such a universality class of quantum criticality can occur when the Fermi sea of one branch of charge bound states starts to fill or becomes gapped at zero temperature. The quantum critical cone can be determined by the double peaks in specific heat, which serve to mark two crossover temperatures fanning out from the critical point. Our method opens to further study on quantum phases and phase transitions in strongly interacting fermions with large SU （ w） and non-SU （ w ） symmetries in one dimension.

Practical fixed-time adaptive fuzzy control of uncertain nonlinear systems with time-varying asymmetric constraints: a unified barrier function based approach

A practical fixed-time adaptive fuzzy control strategy is investigated for uncertain nonlinear systems with time-varying asymmetric constraints and input quantization. To overcome the difficulties of designing controllers under the state constraints, a unified barrier function approach is employed to construct a coordinate transformation that maps the original constrained system to an equivalent unconstrained one, thus relaxing the time-varying asymmetric constraints upon system states and avoiding the feasibility check condition typically required in the traditional barrier Lyapunov function based control approach. Meanwhile, the “explosion of complexity” problem in the traditional backstepping approach arising from repeatedly derivatives of virtual controllers is solved by using the command filter method. It is verified via the fixed-time Lyapunov stability criterion that the system output can track a desired signal within a small error range in a predetermined time, and that all system states remain in the constraint range. Finally, two simulation examples are offered to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Fractional viscoelastic solution of stratum displacement of a shallow tunnel under the surface slope condition

The unified displacement function(UDF)is presented to describe the deformation behaviours of the tunnel profile along with time under the surface slope condition.Based on the discrete Fourier method,the third-order UDF in the physical plane is expanded to the Laurent series in the complex variable plane.The complex variable method is employed to derive the elastic analytical solution of stra-tum displacement,when the third-order UDF is taken as the displacement boundary condition of tunnel cross-section(DBCTC).The proposed elastic solution agrees well with the results of the finite element method for the consistent model,which verifies the correctness of the proposed analytical solution.Combining the corresponding principle and fractional Generalized Kelvin viscoelastic constitutive model,the fractional viscoelastic solution under the surface slope condition is determined.The time effect of stratum displacement is presented in two aspects:time-dependent DBCTC and time-dependent material parameters.The parameter analysis is performed to investigate influences of deformation modes of the third-order UDF,slope angle,tunnel radius and fractional order on the time effect of stratum vertical and horizontal displacement.
