Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Entropy is a basic and important concept in information theory. It is also often used as a measure of the degree of chaos in dynamical systems, for example, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimension, and entropy are usually used to describe the complexity of chaotic systems. Thus, it would be interesting to collect the latest advances in the field of studying entropy in nonlinear systems.

Additionally, in the last few years, there has been increasing interest in a new classification of nonlinear dynamical systems, including two kinds of attractors, namely: self-excited attractors and hidden attractors. Self-excited attractors can be localized straight forwardly by applying a standard computational procedure. Some interesting examples of systems with self-excited attractors are chaotic systems with different kinds of symmetry, with multi-scroll attractors, multiple attractors, and extreme multistability. On the other hand, in systems with hidden attractors, we have to develop a specific computational procedure to identify the hidden attractors because of the fact that the equilibrium points do not help in their localization. Some examples of these kinds of systems are chaotic dynamical systems with no equilibrium points, with only stable equilibria, curves of equilibria, surfaces of equilibria, and non-hyperbolic equilibria. There is evidence that hidden attractors play an important role in the various fields, ranging from phase-locked loops, oscillators describing a convective fluid motion, models of drilling systems, information theory, and cryptography to multilevel DC/DC converters. Furthermore, hidden attractors may lead to unexpected and disastrous responses. So, it is very useful to find new tools in order to study entropy for hidden attractors.

This Special Issue is dedicated to the presentation and discussion of the advanced topics of complex systems with hidden attractors and self-excited attractors. The contribution to the Special Issue should focus on the aspects of nonlinear dynamics, entropy, and applications of nonlinear systems with hidden and self-excited attractors.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Analytical–numerical methods for investing hidden oscillations
  • Bifurcation and chaos in complex systems
  • Chimera states, spiral waves, and pattern formation in networks of oscillators
  • Self-organization
  • Designing new nonlinear systems with desired features
  • Experimental study of nonlinear systems
  • Extreme multistability
  • Complex networks
  • Fractional order dynamical systems

Brain dynamics can exhibit narrow-band nonlinear oscillations and multistability. For a subset of disorders of consciousness and motor control, we hypothesized that some symptoms originate from the inability to spontaneously transition from one attractor to another. Using external perturbations, such as electrical pulses delivered by deep brain stimulation devices, it may be possible to induce such transition out of the pathological attractors. However, the induction of transition may be non-trivial, rendering the current open-loop stimulation strategies insufficient. In order to develop next-generation neural stimulators that can intelligently learn to induce attractor transitions, we require a platform to test the efficacy of such systems. To this end, we designed an analog circuit as a model for the multistable brain dynamics. The circuit spontaneously oscillates stably on two periods as an instantiation of a 3-dimensional continuous-time gated recurrent neural network. To discourage simple perturbation strategies, such as constant or random stimulation patterns from easily inducing transition between the stable limit cycles, we designed a state-dependent nonlinear circuit interface for external perturbation. We demonstrate the existence of nontrivial solutions to the transition problem in our circuit implementation. Full article

In this paper, a gradient descent algorithm is proposed for the parameter estimation of multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) total non-linear dynamic models. Firstly, the MIMO total non-linear model is mapped to a non-completely connected feedforward neural network, that is, the parameters of the total non-linear model are mapped to the connection weights of the neural network. Then, based on the minimization of network error, a weight-updating algorithm, that is, an estimation algorithm of model parameters, is proposed with the convergence conditions of a non-completely connected feedforward network. In further determining the variables of the model set, a method of model structure detection is proposed for selecting a group of important items from the whole variable candidate set. In order to verify the usefulness of the parameter identification process, we provide a virtual bench test example for the numerical analysis and user-friendly instructions for potential applications.

A modification of the classic logistic map is proposed, using fuzzy triangular numbers. The resulting map is analysed through its Lyapunov exponent (LE) and bifurcation diagrams. It shows higher complexity compared to the classic logistic map and showcases phenomena, like antimonotonicity and crisis. The map is then applied to the problem of pseudo random bit generation, using a simple rule to generate the bit sequence. The resulting random bit generator (RBG) successfully passes the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) statistical tests, and it is then successfully applied to the problem of image encryption.

This paper provides readers with three partial results that are mutually connected. Firstly, the gallery of the so-called constant phase elements (CPE) dedicated for the wideband applications is presented. CPEs are calculated for 9° (decimal orders) and 10° phase steps including ¼, ½, and ¾ orders, which are the most used mathematical orders between zero and one in practice. For each phase shift, all necessary numerical values to design fully passive RC ladder two-terminal circuits are provided. Individual CPEs are easily distinguishable because of a very high accuracy; maximal phase error is less than 1.5° in wide frequency range beginning with 3 Hz and ending with 1 MHz. Secondly, dynamics of ternary memory composed by a series connection of two resonant tunneling diodes is investigated and, consequently, a robust chaotic behavior is discovered and reported. Finally, CPEs are directly used for realization of fractional-order (FO) ternary memory as lumped chaotic oscillator. Existence of structurally stable strange attractors for different orders is proved, both by numerical analyzed and experimental measurement. Full article

A rare three-dimensional chaotic system with all eigenvalues equal to zero is proposed, and its dynamical properties are investigated. The chaotic system has one equilibrium point at the origin. Numerical analysis shows that the equilibrium point is unstable. Bifurcation analysis of the system shows various dynamics in a period-doubling route to chaos. We highlight that from the evaluation of the entropy, bifurcation points can be predicted by identifying early warning signals. In this manner, bifurcation points of the system are analyzed using Shannon and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. The results are compared with Lyapunov exponents. Full article

In this paper, dynamical behavior and synchronization of a non-equilibrium four-dimensional chaotic system are studied. The system only includes one constant term and has hidden attractors. Some dynamical features of the governing system, such as invariance and symmetry, the existence of attractors and dissipativity, chaotic flow with a plane of equilibria, and offset boosting of the chaotic attractor, are stated and discussed and a new disturbance-observer-based adaptive terminal sliding mode control (ATSMC) method with input saturation is proposed for the control and synchronization of the chaotic system. To deal with unexpected noises, an extended Kalman filter (EKF) is implemented along with the designed controller. Through the concept of Lyapunov stability, the proposed control technique guarantees the finite time convergence of the uncertain system in the presence of disturbances and control input limits. Furthermore, to decrease the chattering phenomena, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the controller parameters. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the performance of the designed control scheme in the presence of noise, disturbances, and control input saturation. Full article

We analyzed a dynamic duopoly game where players adopt specific preferences. These preferences are derived from Cobb–Douglas utility function with the assumption that they depend on past choices. For this paper, we investigated two possible cases for the suggested game. The first case considers only focusing on the action done by one player. This action reduces the game’s map to a one-dimensional map, which is the logistic map. Using analytical and numerical simulation, the stability of fixed points of this map is studied. In the second case, we focus on the actions applied by both players. The fixed points, in this case, are calculated, and their stability is discussed. The conditions of stability are provided in terms of the game’s parameters. Numerical simulation is carried out to give local and global investigations of the chaotic behavior of the game’s map. In addition, we use a statistical measure, such as entropy, to get more evidences on the regularity and predictability of time series associated with this case. Full article

In this study, the design of an adaptive terminal sliding mode controller for the stabilization of port Hamiltonian chaotic systems with hidden attractors is proposed. This study begins with the design methodology of a chaotic oscillator with a hidden attractor implementing the topological framework for its respective design. With this technique it is possible to design a 2-D chaotic oscillator, which is then converted into port-Hamiltonia to track and analyze these models for the stabilization of the hidden chaotic attractors created by this analysis. Adaptive terminal sliding mode controllers (ATSMC) are built when a Hamiltonian system has a chaotic behavior and a hidden attractor is detected. A Lyapunov approach is used to formulate the adaptive device controller by creating a control law and the adaptive law, which are used online to make the system states stable while at the same time suppressing its chaotic behavior. The empirical tests obtaining the discussion and conclusions of this thesis should verify the theoretical findings. Full article

In this paper, a new image encryption transmission algorithm based on the parallel mode is proposed. This algorithm aims to improve information transmission efficiency and security based on existing hardware conditions. To improve efficiency, this paper adopts the method of parallel compressed sensing to realize image transmission. Compressed sensing can perform data sampling and compression at a rate much lower than the Nyquist sampling rate. To enhance security, this algorithm combines a sequence signal generator with chaotic cryptography. The initial sensitivity of chaos, used in a measurement matrix, makes it possible to improve the security of an encryption algorithm. The cryptographic characteristics of chaotic signals can be fully utilized by the flexible digital logic circuit. Simulation experiments and analyses show that the algorithm achieves the goal of improving transmission efficiency and has the capacity to resist illegal attacks. Full article

To reduce the consumption of receiving devices, a number of devices at the receiving end undergo low-element treatment (the number of devices at the receiving end is less than that at the transmitting ends). The underdetermined blind-source separation system is a classic low-element model at the receiving end. Blind signal extraction in an underdetermined system remains an ill-posed problem, as it is difficult to extract all the source signals. To realize fewer devices at the receiving end without information loss, this paper proposes an image restoration method for underdetermined blind-source separation based on an out-of-order elimination algorithm. Firstly, a chaotic system is used to perform hidden transmission of source signals, where the source signals can hardly be observed and confidentiality is guaranteed. Secondly, empirical mode decomposition is used to decompose and complement the missing observed signals, and the fast independent component analysis (FastICA) algorithm is used to obtain part of the source signals. Finally, all the source signals are successfully separated using the out-of-order elimination algorithm and the FastICA algorithm. The results show that the performance of the underdetermined blind separation algorithm is related to the configuration of the transceiver antenna. When the signal is 3 × 4 antenna configuration, the algorithm in this paper is superior to the comparison algorithm in signal recovery, and its separation performance is better for a lower degree of missing array elements. The end result is that the algorithms discussed in this paper can effectively and completely extract all the source signals. Full article

As a new type of nonlinear electronic component, a memristor can be used in a chaotic system to increase the complexity of the system. In this paper, a flux-controlled memristor is applied to an existing chaotic system, and a novel five-dimensional chaotic system with high complexity and hidden attractors is proposed. Analyzing the nonlinear characteristics of the system, we can find that the system has new chaotic attractors and many novel quasi-periodic limit cycles; the unique attractor structure of the Poincaré map also reflects the complexity and novelty of the hidden attractor for the system; the system has a very high complexity when measured through spectral entropy. In addition, under different initial conditions, the system exhibits the coexistence of chaotic attractors with different topologies, quasi-periodic limit cycles, and chaotic attractors. At the same time, an interesting transient chaos phenomenon, one kind of novel quasi-periodic, and weak chaotic hidden attractors are found. Finally, we realize the memristor model circuit and the proposed chaotic system use off-the-shelf electronic components. The experimental results of the circuit are consistent with the numerical simulation, which shows that the system is physically achievable and provides a new option for the application of memristive chaotic systems.

Designing chaotic systems with specific features is a hot topic in nonlinear dynamics. In this study, a novel chaotic system is presented with a unique feature of crossing inside and outside of a cylinder repeatedly. This new system is thoroughly analyzed by the help of the bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponents’ spectrum, and entropy measurement. Bifurcation analysis of the proposed system with two initiation methods reveals its multistability. As an engineering application, the system’s efficiency is tested in image encryption. The complexity of the chaotic attractor of the proposed system makes it a proper choice for encryption. States of the chaotic attractor are used to shuffle the rows and columns of the image, and then the shuffled image is XORed with the states of chaotic attractor. The unpredictability of the chaotic attractor makes the encryption method very safe. The performance of the encryption method is analyzed using the histogram, correlation coefficient, Shannon entropy, and encryption quality. The results show that the encryption method using the proposed chaotic system has reliable performance. Full article

This paper describes evolution of new active element that is able to significantly simplify the design process of lumped chaotic oscillator, especially if the concept of analog computer or state space description is adopted. The major advantage of the proposed active device lies in the incorporation of two fundamental mathematical operations into a single five-port voltage-input current-output element: namely, differentiation and multiplication. The developed active device is verified inside three different synthesis scenarios: circuitry realization of a third-order cyclically symmetrical vector field, hyperchaotic system based on the Lorenz equations and fourth- and fifth-order hyperjerk function. Mentioned cases represent complicated vector fields that cannot be implemented without the necessity of utilizing many active elements. The captured oscilloscope screenshots are compared with numerically integrated trajectories to demonstrate good agreement between theory and measurement. Full article

In this paper, a new three-dimensional chaotic system is proposed for image encryption. The core of the encryption algorithm is the combination of chaotic system and compressed sensing, which can complete image encryption and compression at the same time. The Lyapunov exponent, bifurcation diagram and complexity of the new three-dimensional chaotic system are analyzed. The performance analysis shows that the chaotic system has two positive Lyapunov exponents and high complexity. In the encryption scheme, a new chaotic system is used as the measurement matrix for compressed sensing, and Arnold is used to scrambling the image further. The proposed method has better reconfiguration ability in the compressible range of the algorithm compared with other methods. The experimental results show that the proposed encryption scheme has good encryption effect and image compression capability. Full article

In this paper, a new voltage-controlled memristor is presented. The mathematical expression of this memristor has an absolute value term, so it is called an absolute voltage-controlled memristor. The proposed memristor is locally active, which is proved by its DC V–I (Voltage–Current) plot. A simple three-order Wien-bridge chaotic circuit without inductor is constructed on the basis of the presented memristor. The dynamical behaviors of the simple chaotic system are analyzed in this paper. The main properties of this system are coexisting attractors and multistability. Furthermore, an analog circuit of this chaotic system is realized by the Multisim software. The multistability of the proposed system can enlarge the key space in encryption, which makes the encryption effect better. Therefore, the proposed chaotic system can be used as a pseudo-random sequence generator to provide key sequences for digital encryption systems. Thus, the chaotic system is discretized and implemented by Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) test and Approximate Entropy analysis of the proposed chaotic system are conducted in this paper. Full article

When chaotic systems are used in different practical applications, such as chaotic secure communication and chaotic pseudorandom sequence generators, a large number of chaotic systems are strongly required. However, for a lack of a systematic construction theory, the construction of chaotic systems mainly depends on the exhaustive search of systematic parameters or initial values, especially for a class of dynamical systems with hidden chaotic attractors. In this paper, a class of quadratic polynomial chaotic maps is studied, and a general method for constructing quadratic polynomial chaotic maps is proposed. The proposed polynomial chaotic maps satisfy the Li–Yorke definition of chaos. This method can accurately control the amplitude of chaotic time series. Through the existence and stability analysis of fixed points, we proved that such class quadratic polynomial maps cannot have hidden chaotic attractors. Full article

In this paper, inspired by a newly proposed two-dimensional nonlinear oscillator with an infinite number of coexisting attractors, a modified nonlinear oscillator is proposed. The original system has an exciting feature of having layer–layer coexisting attractors. One of these attractors is self-excited while the rest are hidden. By forcing this system with its twin, a new four-dimensional nonlinear system is obtained which has an infinite number of coexisting torus attractors, strange attractors, and limit cycle attractors. The entropy, energy, and homogeneity of attractors’ images and their basin of attractions are calculated and reported, which showed an increase in the complexity of attractors when changing the bifurcation parameters.
