Hopf bifurcation analysis of Chen circuit with direct time delay feedback

Direct time delay feedback can make non-chaotic Chen circuit chaotic. The chaotic Chen circuit with direct time delay feedback possesses rich and complex dynamical behaviours. To reach a deep and clear understanding of the dynamics of such circuits described by delay differential equations, Hopf bifurcation in the circuit is analysed using the Hopf bifurcation theory and the central manifold theorem in this paper. Bifurcation points and bifurcation directions are derived in detail, which prove to be consistent with the previous bifurcation diagram. Numerical simulations and experimental results are given to verify the theoretical analysis. Hopf bifurcation analysis can explain and predict the periodical orbit （oscillation） in Chen circuit with direct time delay feedback. Bifurcation boundaries are derived using the Hopf bifurcation analysis, which will be helpful for determining the parameters in the stabilisation of the originally chaotic circuit.

RESPONSE OF PARAMETRICALLY EXCITED DUFFING-VAN DER POL OSCILLATOR WITH DELAYED FEEDBACK

The dynamical behaviour of a parametrically excited Duffing-van der Pol oscillator under linear-plus-nonlinear state feedback control with a time delay is concerned. By means of the method of averaging together with truncation of Taylor expansions, two slow-flow equations on the amplitude and phase of response were derived for the case of principal parametric resonance, it is shown that the stability condition for the trivial solution is only associated with the linear terms in the original systems besides the amplitude and frequency of parametric excitation. And the trivial solution can be stabilized by appreciate choice of gains and time delay in feedback control. Different from the case of the trivial solution, the stability condition for nontrivial solutions is also associated with nonlinear terms besides linear terms in the original system. It is demonstrated that nontrivial steady state responses may lose their stability by saddle-node （SN） or Hopf bifurcation （HB） as parameters vary. The simulations, obtained by numerically integrating the original system, are in good agreement with the analytical results.

Dynamical behaviour of Liu system with time delayed feedback

This paper investigates the dynamical behaviour of the Liu system with time delayed feedback. Two typical situations are considered and the effect of time-delay parameter on the dynamics of the system is discussed. It is shown that the Liu system with time delayed feedback may exhibit interesting and extremely rich dynamical behaviour. The evolution of the dynamics is shown to be complex with varying time-delay parameter. Moreover, the strange attractor like ‘wormhole＇ is detected via numerical simulations.

User space transformation in deep learning based recommendation

Deep learning based recommendation methods, such as the recurrent neural network based recommendation method(RNNRec) and the gated recurrent unit(GRU) based recommendation method(GRURec), are proposed to solve the problem of time heterogeneous feedback recommendation. These methods out-perform several state-of-the-art methods. However, in RNNRec and GRURec, action vectors and item vectors are shared among users. The different meanings of the same action for different users are not considered. Similarly, different user preference for the same item is also ignored. To address this problem, the models of RNNRec and GRURec are modified in this paper. In the proposed methods, action vectors and item vectors are transformed into the user space for each user firstly, and then the transformed vectors are fed into the original neural networks of RNNRec and GRURec. The transformed action vectors and item vectors represent the user specified meaning of actions and the preference for items, which makes the proposed method obtain more accurate recommendation results. The experimental results on two real-life datasets indicate that the proposed method outperforms RNNRec and GRURec as well as other state-of-the-art approaches in most cases.

Output Feedback Stabilization of an Unstable Wave Equation with Observations Subject to Time Delay

This paper focuses on boundary stabilization of a one-dimensional wave equation with an unstable boundary condition,in which observations are subject to arbitrary fixed time delay.The observability inequality indicates that the open-loop system is observable,based on which the observer and predictor are designed:The state of system is estimated with available observation and then predicted without observation.After that equivalently the authors transform the original system to the well-posed and exponentially stable system by backstepping method.The equivalent system together with the design of observer and predictor give the estimated output feedback.It is shown that the closed-loop system is exponentially stable.Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effect of the stabilizing controller.

Directed Current Induced by an Symmetrically ac Force Coexisting with a Time-Delayed Feedback

We study the transport of overdamped Brownian particles in a symmetricaJly periodic potential in the presence of an asymmetrically ac driving force and a time-delayed feedback. It is found that for low frequencies, the average velocity can be negative by changing the driving amplitude, for high frequencies, there exists an optimized driving amplitude at which the average velocity takes its maximum value. Additionally, there is a threshold value of driving amplitude below which no directed transport can be obtained for high frequencies. For the large value of the delay time, the average velocity is independent of the delay time.

Guidance law with impact time and impact angle constraints

A novel closed-form guidance law with impact time and impact angle constraints is pro- posed for salvo attack of anti-ship missiles, which employs missile＇s normal acceleration （not jerk） as the control command directly. Firstly, the impact time control problem is formulated as tracking the designated time-to-go （the difference between the designated impact time and the current flight time） for the actual time-to-go of missile, and the impact angle control problem is formulated as tracking the designated heading angle for the actual heading angle of missile. Secondly, a biased proportional navigation guidance （BPNG） law with designated heading angle constraint is constructed, and the actual time-to-go estimation for this BPNG is derived analytically by solving the system differential equations. Thirdly, by adding a feedback control to this constructed BPNG to eliminate the time-to-go errorthe difference between the standard time-to-go and the actual time-to-go, a guidance law with adjustable coefficients to control the impact time and impact angle simultaneously is developed. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the performance and feasibility of the proposed approach.

Online single-shot characterization of ultrafast pulses from high-gain free-electron lasers

X-ray free-electron lasers(FELs)provide cutting-edge tools for fundamental researches to study nature down to the atomic level at a time-scale that fits this resolution.A precise knowledge of temporal information of FEL pulses is the central issue for its applications.Here we proposed and demonstrated a novel method to determine the FEL temporal profiles online.This robust method,designed for ultrafast FELs,allows researchers to acquire real-time longitudinal profiles of FEL pulses as well as their arrive times with respect to the external optical laser with a resolution better than 6 fs.Based on this method,we can also directly measure various properties of FEL pulses and correlations between them online.This helps us to further understand the FEL lasing processes and realize the generation of stable,nearly fully coherent soft X-ray laser pulses at the Shanghai Soft X-ray FEL facility.This method will enhance the experimental opportunities for ultrafast science in various areas.
