Discontinuous bifurcation and coexistence of attractors in a piecewise linear map with a gap

Coexistence of attractors with striking characteristics is observed in this work, where a stable period-5 attractor coexists successively with chaotic band-ll, period-6, chaotic band-12 and band-6 attractors. They are induced by dif- ferent mechanisms due to the interaction between the discontinuity and the non-invertibility. A characteristic boundary collision bifurcation, is observed. The critical conditions are obtained both analytically and numerically.

Bipolar-growth multi-wing attractors and diverse coexisting attractors in a new memristive chaotic system

This article proposes a non-ideal flux-controlled memristor with a bisymmetric sawtooth piecewise function, and a new multi-wing memristive chaotic system(MMCS) based on the memristor is generated. Compared with other existing MMCSs, the most eye-catching point of the proposed MMCS is that the amplitude of the wing will enlarge towards the poles as the number of wings increases. Diverse coexisting attractors are numerically found in the MMCS, including chaos,quasi-period, and stable point. The circuits of the proposed memristor and MMCS are designed and the obtained results demonstrate their validity and reliability.

Dynamics and synchronization in a memristor-coupled discrete heterogeneous neuron network considering noise

Research on discrete memristor-based neural networks has received much attention.However,current research mainly focuses on memristor–based discrete homogeneous neuron networks,while memristor-coupled discrete heterogeneous neuron networks are rarely reported.In this study,a new four-stable discrete locally active memristor is proposed and its nonvolatile and locally active properties are verified by its power-off plot and DC V–I diagram.Based on two-dimensional(2D)discrete Izhikevich neuron and 2D discrete Chialvo neuron,a heterogeneous discrete neuron network is constructed by using the proposed discrete memristor as a coupling synapse connecting the two heterogeneous neurons.Considering the coupling strength as the control parameter,chaotic firing,periodic firing,and hyperchaotic firing patterns are revealed.In particular,multiple coexisting firing patterns are observed,which are induced by different initial values of the memristor.Phase synchronization between the two heterogeneous neurons is discussed and it is found that they can achieve perfect synchronous at large coupling strength.Furthermore,the effect of Gaussian white noise on synchronization behaviors is also explored.We demonstrate that the presence of noise not only leads to the transition of firing patterns,but also achieves the phase synchronization between two heterogeneous neurons under low coupling strength.

Dynamical behavior of memristor-coupled heterogeneous discrete neural networks with synaptic crosstalk

Synaptic crosstalk is a prevalent phenomenon among neuronal synapses,playing a crucial role in the transmission of neural signals.Therefore,considering synaptic crosstalk behavior and investigating the dynamical behavior of discrete neural networks are highly necessary.In this paper,we propose a heterogeneous discrete neural network(HDNN)consisting of a three-dimensional KTz discrete neuron and a Chialvo discrete neuron.These two neurons are coupled mutually by two discrete memristors and the synaptic crosstalk is considered.The impact of crosstalk strength on the firing behavior of the HDNN is explored through bifurcation diagrams and Lyapunov exponents.It is observed that the HDNN exhibits different coexisting attractors under varying crosstalk strengths.Furthermore,the influence of different crosstalk strengths on the synchronized firing of the HDNN is investigated,revealing a gradual attainment of phase synchronization between the two discrete neurons as the crosstalk strength decreases.

Coexisting hidden attractors in a 4D segmented disc dynamo with one stable equilibrium or a line equilibrium

This paper introduces a four-dimensional （4D） segmented disc dynamo which possesses coexisting hidden attractors with one stable equilibrium or a line equilibrium when parameters vary. In addition, by choosing an appropriate bifurcation parameter, the paper proves that Hopf bifurcation and pitchfork bifurcation occur in the system. The ultimate bound is also estimated. Some numerical investigations are also exploited to demonstrate and visualize the corresponding theoretical results.

A novel class of two-dimensional chaotic maps with infinitely many coexisting attractors

We study a novel class of two-dimensional maps with infinitely many coexisting attractors.Firstly,the mathematical model of these maps is formulated by introducing a sinusoidal function.The existence and the stability of the fixed points in the model are studied indicating that they are infinitely many and all unstable.In particular,a computer searching program is employed to explore the chaotic attractors in these maps,and a simple map is exemplified to show their complex dynamics.Interestingly,this map contains infinitely many coexisting attractors which has been rarely reported in the literature.Further studies on these coexisting attractors are carried out by investigating their time histories,phase trajectories,basins of attraction,Lyapunov exponents spectrum,and Lyapunov(Kaplan–Yorke)dimension.Bifurcation analysis reveals that the map has periodic and chaotic solutions,and more importantly,exhibits extreme multi-stability.

An operator methodology for the global dynamic analysis of stochastic nonlinear systems

In a global dynamic analysis,the coexisting attractors and their basins are the main tools to understand the system behavior and safety.However,both basins and attractors can be drastically influenced by uncertainties.The aim of this work is to illustrate a methodology for the global dynamic analysis of nondeterministic dynamical systems with competing attractors.Accordingly,analytical and numerical tools for calculation of nondeterministic global structures,namely attractors and basins,are proposed.First,based on the definition of the Perron-Frobenius,Koopman and Foias linear operators,a global dynamic description through phase-space operators is presented for both deterministic and nondeterministic cases.In this context,the stochastic basins of attraction and attractors’distributions replace the usual basin and attractor concepts.Then,numerical implementation of these concepts is accomplished via an adaptative phase-space discretization strategy based on the classical Ulam method.Sample results of the methodology are presented for a canonical dynamical system.

Complex Dynamics Analysis of Generalized Tullock Contest

The generalized dynamic Tullock contest model with two homogeneous participants is established, in which both players have the same valuation of winning rewards and losing rewards. Firstly, the unique symmetric equilibrium point of the system is obtained by calculation and its local stability condition is given based on the Jury criterion. Then, two paths of the system from stability to chaos, namely flip bifurcation and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, are analyzed by using the two-dimensional parametric bifurcation diagram. Meanwhile, the abundant Arnold tongues in the two-dimensional parametric bifurcation diagram are analyzed. Finally, the phenomenon of multistability of the system is illustrated through the basin of attraction, and the contact bifurcation occurs during the evolution of the basin of attraction with varying parameters.

Complex transitions between spike, burst or chaos synchronization states in coupled neurons with coexisting bursting patterns

We investigated the synchronization dynamics of a coupled neuronal system composed of two identical Chay model neurons. The Chay model Showed coexisting period-1 and period-2 bursting patterns as a parameter and initial values are varied. We simulated multiple periodic and chaotic bursting patterns with non-（NS）, burst phase （BS）, spike phase （SS）, complete （CS）, and lag synchronization states. When the coexisting behavior is near period-2 bursting, the transitions of synchronization states of the coupled system follows very complex transitions that begins with transitions between BS and SS, moves to transitions between CS and SS, and to CS. Most initial values lead to the CS state of period-2 bursting while only a few lead to the CS state of period-I bursting. When the coexisting behavior is near period-1 bursting, the transitions begin with NS, move to transitions between SS and BS, to transitions between SS and CS, and then to CS. Most initial values lead to the CS state of period-1 bursting but a few lead to the CS state of period-2 bursting. The BS was identified as chaos synchronization. The patterns for NS and transitions between BS and SS are insensitive to initial values. The patterns for transitions between CS and SS and the CS state are sensitive to them. The number of spikes per burst of non-CS bursting increases with increasing coupling strength. These results not only reveal the initial value- and parameter- dependent synchronization transitions of coupled systems with coexisting behaviors, but also facilitate interpretation of various bursting patterns and synchronization transitions generated in the nervous system with weak coupling strength.

A memristive map with coexisting chaos and hyperchaos

By introducing a discrete memristor and periodic sinusoidal functions,a two-dimensional map with coexisting chaos and hyperchaos is constructed.Various coexisting chaotic and hyperchaotic attractors under different Lyapunov exponents are firstly found in this discrete map,along with which other regimes of coexistence such as coexisting chaos,quasiperiodic oscillation,and discrete periodic points are also captured.The hyperchaotic attractors can be flexibly controlled to be unipolar or bipolar by newly embedded constants meanwhile the amplitude can also be controlled in combination with those coexisting attractors.Based on the nonlinear auto-regressive model with exogenous inputs(NARX)for neural network,the dynamics of the memristive map is well predicted,which provides a potential passage in artificial intelligencebased applications.

Dynamics of the two-SBT-memristor-based chaotic circuit

A two-SBT-memristor-based chaotic circuit was proposed. The stability of the equilibrium point was studied by theoretical analysis. The close dependence of the circuit dynamic characteristics on its initial conditions and circuit parameters was investigated by utilizing Lyapunov exponents spectra, bifurcation diagrams, phase diagrams, and Poincaré maps. The analysis showed that the circuit system had complex dynamic behaviors, such as stable points, period, chaos, limit cycles,and so on. In particular, the chaotic circuit produced the multistability phenomenon, such as coexisting attractors and coexisting periods.

A conservative chaotic system with coexisting chaotic-like attractors and its application in image encryption

Unlike dissipative systems,conservative systems do not have attractors and no attractor reconstruction occurs.Therefore,these systems are more suitable for application in image encryption.On the basis of above appoints,here we develop and propose a conservative system with infinite chaotic-like attractors.The conservative and chaotic characteristics and coexistence chaotic-like attractors are studied using Lyapunov exponents,Poincare maps,and numerical simulation.The results show that the coexistence of chaotic-like attractors has a more complex structure and dynamic behaviour than traditional ones.Additionally,the developed system is further used to design an encryption system for a digital image.Using the coexistence chaotic-like attractor sequence to scramble and diffuse the image can destroy the correlation of adjacent pixels and hide the information of all pixels.The feasibility and security of the encryption scheme are demonstrated through the analysis of key space,histogram,information entropy,key sensitivity and pixel correlation.

Memristive cyclic three-neuron-based neural network with chaos and global coexisting attractors

It has been documented that a cyclic three-neuron-based neural network with resistive synaptic weights cannot exhibit chaos.Towards this end,a memristive cyclic three-neuron-based neural network is presented using a memristive weight to substitute a resistive weight.The memristive cyclic neural network always has five equilibrium points within the parameters of interest,and their stability analysis shows that they are one index-2 saddle-focus,two index-1 saddle-foci,and two stable node-foci,respectively.Dynamical analyses are performed for the memristive cyclic neural network by several numerical simulation methods.The results demonstrate that the memristor synapse-based neural network with the simplest cyclic connection can not only exhibit chaos,but also present global coexisting attractors composed of stable points and unstable periodic or chaotic orbits under different initial conditions.Besides,with the designed implementation circuit,Multisim circuit simulations and hardware experiments are executed to validate the numerical simulations.

Complex Dynamical Behaviors in a Dual Channel Supply Chain Model with Retailer's Service Input

Based on bounded rationality,this paper established a price game model of dual channel supply chain composed of manufacturers and retailers.According to the eigenvalue of Jacobi matrix and Jury criterion,the stability of the equilibrium point is analyzed,and then the dynamic evolution process under the parameters of price adjustment speed and retailer's service input is studied through stability region,bifurcation diagram,maximum Lyapunov exponent diagram and attraction basin.The results show that the system enters chaos through flip and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation,and increase of price adjustment speed and service input value will make the system produce more dynamic behavior.In addition,it can be found that the impact of service input value on itself is much greater than that on manufacturers.Secondly,when adjustment speed is selected as bifurcation parameter,the change curve of sales price is inconsistent,in which the change of retailers mainly remains in periodic state,while manufacturers will gradually enter chaos.Finally,studies the evolution of attraction basin in which three kinds of attractors coexist.In particular,coexistence of boundary attractors and internal attractors increases the complexity of system.Therefore,enterprises need to carefully adjust parameters of the game model to control the stability of system and maintain the long-term stability of market competition.
