We consider two stable heteroclinic cycles rotating in opposite directions, coupled via diffusive terms. A complete synchronization in this system is impossible, and numerical exploration shows that chaos is abundantat low levelsof coupling. With increase of coupling strength, several...

Fractional-order chaotic power system parameter estimation is a multidimensional function optimization problem, and it is a prerequisite for controlling such systems. Aiming at the problem that the parameter estimation of a fractional-order chaotic power system is easily affected by external...

In this paper, a novel robust controller technique is derived for the network synchronization of chaotic systems with time-varying delay. The stabilization of the complex chaotic systems is achieved by considering an appropriate Krasovskii-Lyapunov functional in order to find the asynchronous...

This paper proposes a color picture encryption algorithm with pixel restructuring and quick diffusion to coexist the security and operational efficiency of the image encryption system. The algorithm employs a four-dimensional hyperchaotic system to decompose the pixels of a color image's three...

AbstractSoil moisture (SM) of maize has an extremely important impact on the growth and development of maize. Therefore, predicting the SM of maize will become extremely important, guiding the management of agricultural irrigation and water resources. This paper, therefore, proposes a new hybrid...

Polynomial chaos expansions (PCEs) have been used in many real-world engineering applications to quantify how the uncertainty of an output is propagated from inputs. PCEs for models with independent inputs have been extensively explored in the literature. Recently, different approaches have been...

It takes time to produce commodities, and different production technologies may take different lengths of time. Suppose that firms may switch between different production technologies that take different lengths of time. A natural implication of such a scenario is that not all firms would then...
