Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together theoretical and practical results with the aim of inspiring new ideas and solutions of existing and rising problems.

Nonlinear stochastic dynamics arises in many fields of science, such as mathematics, physics, engineering, economics and finance, biology and medicine, etc. Mathematical models of stochastic dynamical systems are becoming increasingly complex. They can include forward and backward stochastic difference, differential, integral, and integro-differential equations, including equations with fractional and partial derivatives.

There is a need for new methods of the analysis of nonlinear stochastic dynamic systems, for modern approaches to parametric optimization or optimal and suboptimal control, including methods based on metaheuristic optimization and machine learning. The problems of joint estimation and control have a notable place in theory, especially from an applied point of view. An important problem for researchers is the stability analysis of nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems.

An essential part of theory development is the solution of applied problems, which makes it possible to demonstrate the applicability of analysis and synthesis methods in various fields.

This Special Issue calls for high-quality research papers and surveys in the specified fields.

A mathematical justification of some basic structural properties of stochastically perturbed gene regulatory networks, including those with autoregulation and delay, is offered in this paper. By using the theory of stochastic differential equations, it is, in particular, shown how to control the asymptotic behavior of the diffusion terms in order to not destroy certain qualitative features of the networks, for instance, their sliding modes. The results also confirm that the level of randomness is gradually reduced if the gene activation times become much smaller than the time of interaction of genes. Finally, the suggested analysis explains why the deterministic numerical schemes based on replacing smooth, steep response functions by the simpler yet discontinuous Heaviside function, the well-known simplification algorithm, are robust with respect to uncertainties in data. The main technical difficulties of the analysis are handled by applying the uniform version of the stochastic Tikhonov theorem in singular perturbation analysis suggested by Yu. Kabanov and S. Pergamentshchikov. Full article

This article discusses an alternative method for estimating marginal probability densities of the solution to stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Two algorithms for calculating the numerical–statistical projection estimate for distributions of solutions to SDEs using Legendre polynomials are proposed. The root-mean-square error of this estimate is studied as a function of the projection expansion length, while the step of a numerical method for solving SDE and the sample size for expansion coefficients are fixed. The proposed technique is successfully verified on three one-dimensional SDEs that have stationary solutions with given one-dimensional distributions and exponential correlation functions. A comparative analysis of the proposed method for calculating the numerical–statistical projection estimate and the method for constructing the histogram is carried out. Full article

The object of the investigation is a model of the incomplete financial market. It includes a bank deposit with a known interest rate and basic risky securities. The instant interest rate and volatility are governed by a hidden market regime, represented by some finite-state Markov jump process. The paper presents a solution to two problems. The first one consists of the characterization of the derivatives based on the existing market securities, which are valid to complete the considered market. It is determined that for the market completion, it is sufficient to add the number of derivatives equal to the number of possible market regimes. A generalization of the classic Black–Scholes equation, describing the evolution of the fair derivative price, is obtained along with the structure of a self-financing portfolio, replicating an arbitrary contingent claim in the market. The second problem consists of the online estimation of the market regime, given the observations of both the underlying and derivative prices. The available observations are either a combination of the time-discretized risky security prices or some high-frequency multivariate point processes associated with these prices. The paper presents the numerical algorithms of the market regime tracking for both observation types. The comparative numerical experiments illustrate the high quality of the proposed estimates.

In this paper, we applied a chaos control method based on integro-differential equations for stabilization of an unstable cardiac rhythm, which is described by a variation of the modified Van der Pol equation. Chaos control with this method may be useful for stabilization of irregular heartbeat using a small perturbation. This method differs from other stabilization strategies by the absence of adjustable parameters and the lack of rough approximations in determining control functions whose control parameters are fixed by the properties of the unstable system itself.

The results of the application of the methods of the synergetic control theory to a high-dimensional immunology object with uncertainty in its descriptions are reported. The control here is the therapy treated as a problem for constructing an optimal cure program. The control object is presented in continuous and discrete forms, i.e., mathematical models given by a system of ordinary differential equations with a bounded disturbance and a system of stochastic difference equations, respectively. Two algorithms for deriving robust regulators applicable to a 10-dimensional nonlinear multi-loop system with unstable limit states, which models an immune response to the hepatitis B infection, are obtained. Analytical control design for a continuous model relies on the method of nonlinear adaptation on the target manifold. The second algorithm represents a stochastic extension of the method of analytical design of aggregated discrete regulators minimizing the variance of the target macro variable. The numerical simulation of the developed control systems indicates the performance of the designed control algorithms. The results of this study can be used as a component part of the mathematical tools of expert systems and decision support systems. Full article

Spectral representations of iterated Itô and Stratonovich stochastic integrals of arbitrary multiplicity, including integrals from Taylor–Itô and Taylor–Stratonovich expansions, are obtained by the spectral method. They are required for the implementation of numerical methods for solving Itô and Stratonovich stochastic differential equations with high orders of mean-square and strong convergence. The purpose of such numerical methods is the modeling of nonlinear stochastic dynamics in many fields. This paper contains necessary theoretical results, as well as the results of numerical experiments. Full article

The article considers the problem of finding the optimal on average control of the trajectories of continuous stochastic systems with incomplete feedback. This class of problems includes control problems in which the initial states are described by a given distribution law; random effects on the control object are taken into account; and it is also assumed that information is available only about some coordinates of the state vector. As special cases, the problems of determining the optimal open-loop control and control with complete feedback in the presence of information about all state vector coordinates are considered. A method for parameterization of the control law based on expansions in various systems of basis functions is described. The problem of parametric optimization obtained is solved using a new metaheuristic multi-agent algorithm based on the use of extended PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers to control the movement of agents. Solutions of three model examples of control of nonlinear continuous stochastic systems with interval constraints on the amount of control for all possible cases of state vector awareness are presented.
