Bidirectional Partial Generalized Synchronization in Chaotic and Hyperchaotic Systems via a New Scheme

In this paper, a bidirectional partial generalized （lag, complete, and anticipated） synchronization of a class of continuous-time systems is defined. Then based on the active control idea, a new systematic and concrete scheme is developed to achieve bidirectional partial generalized （lag, complete, and anticipated） synchronization between two chaotic systems or between chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. With the help of symbolic-numerical computation, we choose the modified Chua system, Lorenz system, and the hyperchaotic Tamasevicius Namajunas-Cenys system to illustrate the proposed scheme. Numerical simulations are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. It is interesting that partial chaos synchronization not only can take place between two chaotic systems, but also can take place between chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. The proposed scheme can also be extended to research bidirectional partial generalized （lag, complete, and anticipated） synchronization between other dynamical systems.

Synchronization of hyperchaotic Rossler system with uncertain parameters via nonlinear control

Based on the Lyapunov stability theory,a new method for synchronization of hyperchaotic Rossler system with uncertain parameters is proposed. By this method, choosing appropriate control law and adaptive update law of uncertain parameters, all the errors of system variable synchronization and of uncertain param- eter track are asymptotically stable. The theoretical analysis and the numerical simulations prove the efffectiveness of the oroDosed method.

Simultaneous optimization of transit network and public bicycle station network

The traditional manner to design public transportation system is to sequentially design the transit network and public bicycle network. A new public transportation system design problem that simultaneously considers both bus network design and public bicycle network design is proposed. The chemical reaction optimization(CRO) is designed to solve the problem. A shortcoming of CRO is that, when the two-molecule collisions take place, the molecules are randomly picked from the container.Hence, we improve CRO by employing different mating strategies. The computational results confirm the benefits of the mating strategies. Numerical experiments are conducted on the Sioux-Falls network. A comparison with the traditional sequential modeling framework indicates that the proposed approach has a better performance and is more robust. The practical applicability of the approach is proved by employing a real size network.

A Secret Sharing Featured Secure Communication System Based on Dual Synchronization of Chaos in Colpitts Circuits

A novel digital secure communication system employing dual synchronization of chaos in two pairs of Colpitts circuits is proposed. The binary information to be transmitted is firstly modulated by digital modulation scheme, and then mixed together with two chaotic waveforms generated by two Colpitts circuits with different circuit parameters. Thus the combined （and encrypted） signal is transmitted through an additive white Gauss noise （AWGN） channel. In the receiver, the binary message can he recovered only when the parameters of the two Colpitts circuits are known. If the parameters of the two Colpitts circuits are owned by two different users, this can be viewed as a （2,2） threshold scheme. Based on large amount of simulations, the bit error rate （BER） performance of this communication scheme is presented.

Modified Cascade Synchronization Scheme for Discrete-Time Hyperchaotic Systems

In this paper, the modified cascade synchronization scheme is proposed to investigate the synchronization in discrete-time hyperchaotic systems. By choosing a general kind of proportional scaling error functions and based on rigorous control theory, we take the discrete-time hyperchaotic system due to Wang and 3D generalized Henon map as two examples to achieve the modified cascade synchronization, respectively. Numerical simulations are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

A novel frequency synchronization scheme for OFDM systems

A novel frequency synchronization scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed, including a novel frequency offset estimation algorithm and a novel frequency offset compensation algorithm. The frequency offset estimation includes both the fractional frequency offset (FFO) estimation and the integral frequency offset (IFO) estimation. Firstly, the FFO was obtained by the conventional ML algorithm in time domain. After the FFO was compensated in time domain, the IFO was obtained by the proposed algorithm based on the energy of virtual carriers. This algorithm needs only simple calculations and has a large frequency offset estimation range. Furthermore, it is insensitive to symbol synchronization errors and channel changing. Finally, the IFO was compensated based on the carrier-positions offset, which can be completed through carrier-positions cyclic shifts in frequency domain. This proposed frequency synchronization scheme can decrease the system redundancy without any need of assistant data, and can be applied to the fast synchronization with the only need of one OFDM symbol. The analyses and simulations show the improved performance of the proposed frequency synchronization scheme.

Frequency—Locking in Coupled Chaotic Systems

A novel approach is presented for measuring the phase synchronization (frequency-locking) of coupled nonidentical oscillators, which can characterize frequency-locking for chaotic systems without well-defined phase by measuring the mean frequency. Numerical simulations confirm the existence of frequency-locking. The relations between the mean frequency and the coupling strength and the frequency mismatch are given. For the coupled hyperchaotic systems, the frequency-locking can be better characterized by more than one mean frequency curves.

Synchronization and Bifurcation Analysis in Coupled Networks of Discrete-Time Systems

Synchronization and bifurcation analysis in coupled networks of discrete-time systems are investigated in the present paper. We mainly focus on some special coupling matrix, i.e., the sum of each row equals a nonzero constant u and the network connection is directed. A result that the network can reach a new synchronous state, which is not the asymptotic limit set determined by the node state equation, is derived. It is interesting that the network exhibits bifurcation if we regard the constant u as a bifurcation parameter at the synchronous state. Numerical simulations are given to show the efficiency of our derived conclusions.

Cascaded Simultaneous Nitrification and Denitrification Process for Nitrogen and Phosphorus Reduction from RO Reject Wastewater： A Bench-Scale Study

The use of the reverse osmosis （RO） process, for refining secondary or tertiary effluent from plants treating domestic wastewater, is rapidly increasing. However, the disposal of the RO reject water poses a problem due to the presence of very high concentrations of salts, metals, and nutrients in it. This paper contains results of a bench-scale study aimed at reducing nutrients from RO-discarded streams utilizing a sequential bioreactors system, under partial aerobic and anoxic conditions. The tests were performed on synthetic wastewater resembling RO-reject water of an operating treatment plant, with glucose, methanol or acetate added to the water as sources of carbon. Study results indicate that the RO process removed about 50-60% of the total nitrogen and 50% of the phosphate; it reduced chemical oxygen demand （COD） by 79 to 82%, and affected no change in the metal concentrations. A clear cut removal preference for any one of the external carbon sources was not observed, although a slight advantage of glucose and methanol was recorded. The process maintained about 20% of the rector volume in the anoxic environment.

Control strategy of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in SBR system

The influence of main process parameters on simultaneous nitrification and denitrification （SND） in a sequencing batch reactor （SBR） were investigated while treating actual municipal sewage. The influent average concentration of CODcr and total nitrogen was 350mg-L-l and 35mg.L-l. The experiment indicated the following four operation control strategies： （1） When operation cycle was 6 hours, oxidation of organic pollutants and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification could well completed in the SBR reactor; （2） TN removal rate could be increased significantly, 40% higher than traditional SBR processes when idle period was set between influent and aeration; （3） The time of idle period could affect simultaneous nitrification and denitrification and the best time is 30 minutes; （4） Increase of sludge organic load may improve TN removal efficiency, but NH3-N removal efficiency declines.

CONVERGENCE OF A CLASS OF MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS IN PROBABILISTIC FRAMEWORK

Multi-agent systems arise from diverse fields in natural and artificial systems, and a basic problem is to understand how locally interacting agents lead to collective behaviors （e.g., synchronization） of the overall system. In this paper, we will consider a basic class of multi-agent systems that are described by a simplification of the well-known Vicsek model. This model looks simple, but the rigorous theoretical analysis is quite complicated, because there are strong nonlinear interactions among the agents in the model. In fact, most of the existing results on synchronization need to impose a certain connectivity condition on the global behaviors of the agents＇ trajectories （or on the closed-loop dynamic neighborhood graphs）, which are quite hard to verify in general. In this paper, by introducing a probabilistic framework to this problem, we will provide a complete and rigorous proof for the fact that the overall multi-agent system will synchronize with large probability as long as the number of agents is large enough. The proof is based on a detailed analysis of both the dynamical properties of the nonlinear system evolution and the asymptotic properties of the spectrum of random geometric graphs.
