Network traffic flow prediction model is fundamental to the network performance evaluation and the design of network control scheme which is crucial for the success of high-speed networks. Aiming at shortcoming of the conventional network traffic time series prediction model and the problem that BP training algorithms easily plunge into local solution, a network traffic prediction model based on wavelet neural network and PSO-QI is presented in the paper. Firstly, the quantum principle obtained from Quantum PSO(QPSO)has been combined with standard PSO to form a new hybrid algorithm called PSO with Quantum Infusion(PSO-QI). Then, the parameters of wavelet neural network were optimized with PSO-QI and the time series of network traffic data was modeled and predicted based on wavelet neural network and PSO-QI. Experiments showed that PSOQI-wavelet neural network has better precision and adaptability compared with the traditional neural network. Full article

In this paper, we have presented a special finite difference method for solving a singular perturbation problem with layer behaviour at one end. In this method, we have used a second order finite difference approximation for the second derivative, a modified second order upwind finite difference approximation for the first derivative and a second order average difference approximation for y to reduce the global error and retaining tridiagonal system. Then the discrete invariant imbedding algorithm is used to solve the tridiagonal system. This method controls the rapid changes that occur in the boundary layer region and it gives good results in both cases i.e., h ≤ ε and ε << h. The existence and uniqueness of the discrete problem along with stability estimates are discussed. Also we have discussed the convergence of the method. We have presented maximum absolute errors for the standard examples chosen from the literature. Full article

In this paper, a general algebraic method based on the generalized Jacobi elliptic functions expansion method, the improved general mapping deformation method and the extended auxiliary function method with computerized symbolic computation is proposed to construct more new exact solutions of a generalized KdV equation with variable coefficients. As a result, eight families of new generalized Jacobi elliptic function wave solutions and Weierstrass elliptic function solutions of the equation are obtained by using this method, some of these solutions are degenerated to soliton-like solutions, trigonometric function solutions in the limit cases when the modulus of the Jacobi elliptic functions m → 1 or 0, which shows that the general method is more powerful and will be used in further works to establish more entirely new solutions for other kinds of nonlinear partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics.

Analysis and controlling of bifurcation for a class of chaotic Van der Pol- Duffing system with multiple unknown parameters are conducted. The stability of the equilibrium of the system is studied by using Routh-Hurwitz criterion, and the critical value of Hopf bifurcation is investigated. Based on the center manifold theory and normal form reduction, the stability index of bifurcation solution is given. Linear and nonlinear washout filter feedback controllers are designed respectively to control the bifurcation critical value and the amplitude of the limit cycle. Numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate analytical results found. Full article
