Motivated by the increasingly important role of mathematical modeling and computer-aided analysis in engineering applications, we consider the problem of the mathematical modeling and computer-aided analysis of complex stochastic processes in thermo-kinetics. We study a mathematical model of the dynamic interaction of reagent concentration and temperature in autocatalysis. For the deterministic variant of this model, mono- and bistability parameter zones as well as local and global bifurcations are revealed, and we show how random multiplicative disturbances can deform coexisting equilibrium regimes. In a study of noise-induced transitions, we apply direct numerical simulation and an analytical approach based on the stochastic sensitivity technique. Two variants of bistability with different scenarios of stochastic transformations are studied and compared. Full article

We study a reliability system subject to occasional random shocks of random magnitudes W0,W1,W2, occurring at times τ0,τ1,τ2,. Any such shock is harmless or critical dependent on WkH or Wk>H, given a fixed threshold H. It takes a total of N critical shocks to knock the system down. In addition, the system ages in accordance with a monotone increasing continuous function δ, so that when δT crosses some sustainability threshold D at time T, the system becomes essentially inoperational. However, it can still function for a while undetected. The most common way to do the checking is at one of the moments τ1,τ2, when the shocks are registered. Thus, if crossing of D by δ occurs at time Tτk,τk+1, only at time τk+1, can one identify the system’s failure. The age-related failure is detected with some random delay. The objective is to predict when the system fails, through the Nth critical shock or by the observed aging moment, whichever of the two events comes first. We use and embellish tools of discrete and continuous operational calculus (D-operator and Laplace–Carson transform), combined with first-passage time analysis of random walk processes, to arrive at fully explicit functionals of joint distributions for the observed lifetime of the system and cumulative damage to the system. We discuss various special cases and modifications including the assumption that D is random (and so is T). A number of examples and numerically drawn figures demonstrate the analytic tractability of the results. Full article

In this paper, the design of a dynamic output feedback controller for a networked control system with dual-channel data packet loss and special discrete-time delay is studied, in which the data packet loss is described by the Markov process. In order to effectively alleviate the problem of network congestion, a quantizer was added to the sensor-to-controller channel. The transition probabilities of the Markov process are uncertain, but they exist in the convex sets of known convex polyhedron types. The mode-dependent Lyapunov function was constructed, and a sufficient condition was given to make the closed-loop system stochastically stable and satisfy the performance index. The parameters of the controller were solved by the linear matrix inequality method. Finally, an example of aircraft shows the validity of the proposed approach. A numerical example is compared with other literature, showing the superiority of the proposed approach. Full article

Blockchain Governance Game (BGG) is the stochastic model for describing the innovative security enhancement of decentralized network architectures. This hybrid model provides the best strategies to prepare for preventing network failures by attackers. Strategic alliance for the Blockchain Governance Game, a successor to BGG, adds the strategic alliance to prevent attacks by adapting the concept from business domains. The multi-layered Blockchain Governance Game was developed by combining these two basic models to defend complex networks. This paper not only provides a brief summary of each game model, but also identifies two key network security applications based on BGGs that could serve as a guide for actual implementation. This review is intended to encourage people to be inspired for their future research. The author hopes to encourage readers working in related research areas who might integrate BGG models into their research. Full article
