This paper presents a modification of an image encryption algorithm combining chaos and the Fibonacci matrix by integrating artificial intelligence via a Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT). The goal is to improve the robustness of the algorithm by dynamically adapting the parameters of the chaotic system and generating cryptographic keys based on image characteristics. The proposed methodology includes two main innovations: the implementation of GPT for automated generation of the initial parameters of the chaotic system, which allows for greater variability and security in encryption, and the use of GPT for dynamic determination of the Fibonacci Q-matrix, which provides additional complexity and increased resistance to attacks. The method is realized in the MATLAB (R2023a) environment through integration with OpenAI API and the MATLAB–Python interface for requesting GPT models. The efficiency and reliability of the modified algorithm are compared with those of standard chaotic encryption algorithms, and its robustness to various cryptographic attacks is also studied.

Methane concentration anomalies during coal mining operations are identified as important factors triggering major safety accidents. This study aimed to address the key issues of insufficient adaptability of existing detection methods in dynamic and complex underground environments and limited characterization capabilities for non-uniform sampling data. Specifically, an intelligent diagnostic model was proposed by integrating the improved Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm (SGDBO) with Transformer-SVM. A dual-path feature fusion architecture was innovatively constructed. First, the original sequence length of samples was unified by interpolation algorithms to adapt to deep learning model inputs. Meanwhile, statistical features of samples (such as kurtosis and differential standard deviation) were extracted to deeply characterize local mutation characteristics. Then, the Transformer network was utilized to automatically capture the temporal dependencies of concentration time series. Additionally, the output features were concatenated with manual statistical features and input into the LSSVM classifier to form a complementary enhancement diagnostic mechanism. Sine chaotic mapping initialization and a golden sine search mechanism were integrated into DBO. Subsequently, the SGDBO algorithm was employed to optimize the hyperparameters of the Transformer-LSSVM hybrid model, breaking through the bottleneck of traditional parameter optimization falling into local optima. Experiments reveal that this model can significantly improve the classification accuracy and robustness of anomaly curve discrimination. Furthermore, core technical support can be provided to construct coal mine safety monitoring systems, demonstrating critical practical value for ensuring national energy security production.

High-resolution (HR) remote sensing images contain rich, sensitive information regarding the distribution of geospatial objects and natural resources. With the widespread application of HR remote sensing images, there is an urgent need to protect the data security of HR remote sensing images during transmission and sharing. Existing encryption approaches typically employ a global encryption strategy, overlooking the varying texture complexity across different sub-regions in HR remote sensing images. This oversight results in low efficiency and flexibility for encrypting large-scale remote sensing image data. To address these limitations, this paper presents a texture-adaptive hierarchical encryption method that combines region-specific security levels. The method first decomposes remote sensing images into grid-based sub-blocks and classifies them into three texture complexity types (i.e., simple, medium, and complex) through gradient and frequency metrics. Then, chaotic systems of different dimensions are adaptively adopted to encrypt the sub-blocks according to their texture complexity. A more complex chaotic system encrypts a sub-block with a more complex texture to ensure security while reducing computational complexity. The experimental results on publicly available high-resolution remote sensing datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves adequate information concealment while maintaining an optimal balance between encryption security and computational efficiency. The proposed method is more competitive in encrypting large-scale HR remote sensing data compared to conventional approaches, and it shows significant potential for the secure sharing and processing of HR remote sensing images in the big data era.

Two-way channel irrigation pumping stations are widely used along rivers for irrigation and drainage. Due to fluctuating internal and external water levels, these stations often operate under ultra-low or near-zero head conditions, leading to poor hydraulic performance. This study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate such systems’ pressure fluctuation and chaotic dynamic characteristics. A validated 3D model was developed, and the wavelet transform was used to perform time–frequency analysis of pressure signals. Phase space reconstruction and the Grassberger–Procaccia (G–P) algorithm were applied to evaluate chaotic behavior using the maximum Lyapunov exponent and correlation dimension. Results show that low frequencies dominate pressure fluctuations at the impeller inlet and guide vane outlet, while high-frequency components increase significantly at the intake bell mouth and outlet channel. The maximum Lyapunov exponent in the impeller and guide vane regions reaches 0.0078, indicating strong chaotic behavior, while negative values in the intake and outlet regions suggest weak or no chaos. This integrated method provides quantitative insights into the unsteady flow mechanisms, supporting improved stability and efficiency in ultra-low-head pumping systems. Full article

This paper presents a comprehensive dynamical analysis of a nonlinear oscillator subjected to both deterministic and stochastic excitations. Utilizing a diverse suite of analytical tools—including phase portraits, Poincaré sections, Lyapunov exponents, recurrence plots, Fokker–Planck equations, and sensitivity diagnostics—we investigate the transitions between quasi-periodicity, chaos, and stochastic disorder. The study reveals that quasi-periodic attractors exhibit robust topological structure under moderate noise but progressively disintegrate as stochastic intensity increases, leading to high-dimensional chaotic-like behavior. Recurrence quantification and Lyapunov spectra validate the transition from coherent dynamics to noise-dominated regimes. Poincaré maps and sensitivity analysis expose multistability and intricate basin geometries, while the Fokker–Planck formalism uncovers non-equilibrium steady states characterized by circulating probability currents. Together, these results provide a unified framework for understanding the geometry, statistics, and stability of noisy nonlinear systems. The findings have broad implications for systems ranging from mechanical oscillators to biological rhythms and offer a roadmap for future investigations into fractional dynamics, topological analysis, and data-driven modeling.

This paper proposes an innovative state-sequential sliding mode control (SS-SMC) to suppress chaotic behavior and achieve angular frequency control of incommensurate fractional-order permanent magnet synchronous motor (IFOPMSM) systems. The method is designed to handle both input perturbations and mismatched external disturbances. Conventional sliding mode control (SMC) is robust to matched uncertainties. However, the use of discontinuous sign functions causes chattering. This reduces control accuracy and overall performance. Many methods have been proposed to reduce chattering. Yet, for IFOPMSMs, achieving both robust stabilization and chattering suppression under mismatched disturbances and input uncertainties remains challenging. To address these issues, this study introduces an SS-SMC strategy that combines a fractional-order integral-type sliding surface with a continuous control law. Unlike conventional SMC methods that rely on discontinuous sign functions, the proposed approach uses a continuous control function. This preserves the robustness of traditional SMC while effectively eliminating chattering. The SS-SMC utilizes state-sequential control, allowing a single input to stabilize all system states sequentially and achieve the control objectives while reducing system complexity. Simulation results and comparative analyses confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. The findings show that the SS-SMC ensures robust angular frequency regulation of the IFOPMSM and suppresses chattering effectively. Full article

Boolean chaotic systems solely composed of logic devices have been successfully applied in fields such as random number generation, reservoir computing, and radar detection because of their simple structure and amenability to integration. However, noise in a circuit makes Boolean chaotic systems less robust, which means noise transforms the outputs from chaotic to periodic. In this paper, the characteristics of the process through which logic devices respond to input signals are called device response characteristics. A device’s response characteristic parameters can adjust its response speed and the results it yields to the same input signal. The relationship between logical device response characteristic parameters and the time delay parameter was studied. The results indicate that the distribution range and continuity of chaos in the time delay parameter space can be enhanced by reducing the logical device response characteristic parameters, thereby improving the robustness of a Boolean chaotic system. This research is significant for the hardware design of Boolean chaotic system, as it details the selection of appropriate devices for enhancing chaotic time delay parameter space and robustness.

This study introduces a memristive Hopfield neural network (M-HNN) model to investigate electromagnetic radiation impacts on neural dynamics in complex electromagnetic environments. The proposed framework integrates a magnetic flux-controlled memristor into a three-neuron Hopfield architecture, revealing significant alterations in network dynamics through comprehensive nonlinear analysis. Numerical investigations demonstrate that memristor-induced electromagnetic effects induce distinctive phenomena, including coexisting attractors, transient chaotic states, symmetric bifurcation diagrams and attractor structures, and constant chaos. The proposed system can generate more than 12 different attractors and extends the chaotic region. Compared with the chaotic range of the baseline Hopfield neural network (HNN), the expansion amplitude reaches 933%. Dynamic characteristics are systematically examined using phase trajectory analysis, bifurcation mapping, and Lyapunov exponent quantification. Experimental validation via a DSP-based hardware implementation confirms the model’s operational feasibility and consistency with numerical predictions, establishing a reliable platform for electromagnetic–neural interaction studies.

With the rapid advancement of information technology, as critical information carriers, images are confronted with significant security risks. To ensure the image security, this paper proposes an image encryption algorithm based on a dynamic rhombus transformation and digital tube model. Firstly, a two-dimensional hyper-chaotic system is constructed by combining the Sine map, Cubic map and May map. The analysis results demonstrate that the constructed hybrid chaotic map exhibits superior chaotic characteristics in terms of bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, sample entropy, etc. Secondly, a dynamic rhombus transformation is proposed to scramble pixel positions, and chaotic sequences are used to dynamically select transformation centers and traversal orders. Finally, a digital tube model is designed to diffuse pixel values, which utilizes chaotic sequences to dynamically control the bit reversal and circular shift operations, and the exclusive OR operation to diffuse pixel values. The performance analyses show that the information entropy of the cipher image is 7.9993, and the correlation coefficients in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions are 0.0008, 0.0001, and 0.0005, respectively. Moreover, the proposed algorithm has strong resistance against noise attacks, cropping attacks, and exhaustive attacks, effectively ensuring the security of images during storage and transmission.

In this paper, a predator–prey model with hunting cooperation and maturation delay is studied. Through theoretical analysis, we investigate the existence of multiple stability switches of the positive equilibrium. By applying Hopf bifurcation theory, the conditions for Hopf bifurcation are derived, indicating the emergence of periodic solutions as the maturation delay passes through critical values. Utilizing center manifold theory and normal form analysis, we determine the stability and direction of the bifurcating orbits. Numerical simulations are performed to validate the theoretical results. Furthermore, the simulations vividly demonstrate the appearance of period-doubling bifurcations, which is the onset of chaotic behavior. Bifurcation diagrams and phase portraits are employed to precisely characterize the transition processes from a stable equilibrium to periodic, period-doubling solutions and chaotic states under different maturation delay values. The study reveals the significant influence of maturation delay on the stability and complex dynamics of predator–prey systems with hunting cooperation. Full article

Random parametric errors (RPEs) are introduced into the model establishment of a laminated composite cantilever beam (LCCB) to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of a recurrent neural network (RNN) in predicting the chaotic vibration of a LCCB, and a comparative analysis of training performance and generalization capability is conducted with a convolutional neural network (CNN). In the process of dynamic modeling, the nonlinear dynamic system of a LCCB is established by considering RPEs. The displacement and velocity time series obtained from numerical simulation are used to train and test the RNN model. The RNN model converts the original data into a multi-step supervised learning format and normalizes it using the MinMaxScaler method. The prediction performance is comprehensively evaluated through three performance indicators: coefficient of determination (R2), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE). The results show that, under the condition of introducing RPEs, the RNN model still exhibits high prediction accuracy, with the maximum R2 reaching 0.999984548634328, the maximum MAE being 0.075, and the maximum RMSE being 0.121. Furthermore, performing predictions at the free end of the LCCB verifies the applicability and robustness of the RNN model with respect to spatial position variations. These results fully demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the RNN model in predicting the chaotic vibration of a LCCB. Full article

Simulating nonlinear classical dynamics on a quantum computer is an inherently challenging task due to the linear operator formulation of quantum mechanics. In this work, we provide a systematic approach to alleviate this difficulty by developing an explicit quantum algorithm that implements the time evolution of a second-order time-discretized version of the Lorenz model. The Lorenz model is a celebrated system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations that has been extensively studied in the contexts of climate science, fluid dynamics, and chaos theory. Our algorithm possesses a recursive structure and requires only a linear number of copies of the initial state with respect to the number of integration time-steps. This provides a significant improvement over previous approaches, while preserving the characteristic quantum speed-up in terms of the dimensionality of the underlying differential equations system, which similar time-marching quantum algorithms have previously demonstrated. Notably, by classically implementing the proposed algorithm, we showcase that it accurately captures the structural characteristics of the Lorenz system, reproducing both regular attractors–limit cycles–and the chaotic attractor within the chosen parameter regime.

In this study, we present a novel, six-dimensional, multistable, memristive, hyperchaotic system model demonstrating two positive Lyapunov exponents. With the maximum Lyapunov exponents surpassing 21, the developed system shows pronounced hyperchaotic behavior. The dynamical behavior was analyzed through phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponent spectra. Parameter b was a key factor in regulating the dynamical behavior of the system, mainly affecting the strength and direction of the influence of z1 on z2. It was found that when the system parameter b was within a wide range of [13,300], the system remained hyperchaotic throughout. Analytical establishment of multistability mechanisms was achieved through invariance analysis of the state variables under specific coordinate transformations. Furthermore, offset boosting control was realized by strategically modulating the fifth state variable, z5. The FPGA-based experimental results demonstrated that attractors observed via an oscilloscope were in close agreement with numerical simulations. To validate the system’s reliability for cybersecurity applications, we designed a novel image encryption method utilizing this hyperchaotic model. The information entropy of the proposed encryption algorithm was closer to the theoretical maximum value of 8. This indicated that the system can effectively disrupt statistical patterns. Experimental outcomes confirmed that the proposed image encryption method based on the hyperchaotic system exhibits both efficiency and reliability. Full article

In this study, the periodic function is implanted for attractor self-reproducing, while the signum function and absolute value function are integrated for the attractor symmetrization. For the offset interlocking across dimensions, the coexisting attractors can be reproduced in phase space with the shapes of “V” and “X”.

In this study, we propose a novel metaheuristic algorithm named Kangaroo Escape optimization Technique (KET), inspired by the survival-driven escape strategies of kangaroos in unpredictable environments. The algorithm integrates a chaotic logistic energy adaptation strategy to balance a two-phase exploration process—zigzag motion and long-jump escape—and an adaptive exploitation phase with local search guided by either nearby elite solutions or random peers. A unique decoy drop mechanism is introduced to prevent premature convergence and ensure dynamic diversity. KET is applied to optimize the parameters of a fractional-order Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller for Load Frequency Control (LFC) in interconnected power systems. The designed fractional-order PID controller-based KET optimization extends the conventional PID by introducing fractional calculus into the integral and derivative terms, allowing for more flexible and precise control dynamics. This added flexibility enables enhanced robustness and tuning capability, particularly useful in complex and uncertain systems such as modern power systems. Comparative results with existing state-of-the-art algorithms demonstrate the superior robustness, convergence speed, and control accuracy of the proposed approach under dynamic scenarios. The proposed KET-fractional order PID controller offers 29.6% greater robustness under worst-case conditions and 36% higher consistency across multiple runs compared to existing techniques. It achieves optimal performance faster than the Neural Network Algorithm (NNA), achieving its best Integral of Time Absolute Error (ITAE) value within the first 20 iterations, demonstrating its superior learning rate and early-stage search efficiency. In addition to LFC, the robustness and generality of the proposed KET were validated on a standard speed reducer design problem, demonstrating superior optimization performance and consistent convergence when compared to several recent metaheuristics.
