Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few years, entropy has been a basic and important concept in information theory. It is also often used as a measure of the degree of chaos in systems, e.g., Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimension, and entropy are usually used to describe the complexity of chaotic systems. Thus, it would be very interesting to study entropy in nonlinear systems. Additionally, there has been an increasing interest in a new classification of nonlinear dynamical systems including two kinds of attractors: 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, with multiple attractors, and with extreme multistability.

In systems with hidden attractors we have to develop a specific computational procedure to identify the hidden attractors due to the fact that the equilibrium points do not help in their localization. Some examples of this kind of systems are chaotic dynamical systems with no equilibrium points, with only stable equilibria, with curves of equilibria, with surfaces of equilibria, and with non-hyperbolic equilibria. There is evidence that hidden attractors play an important role in the various fields ranging from phase-locked loops, oscillators, describing convective fluid motion, model of drilling system, information theory, cryptography to multilevel DC/DC converter. Furthermore, hidden attractors may lead to unexpected and disastrous responses.

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

In this paper, we propose using paraxial matrix optics to describe a ring-phase conjugated resonator that includes an intracavity chaos-generating element; this allows the system to behave in phase space as a Bogdanov Map. Explicit expressions for the intracavity chaos-generating matrix elements were obtained. Furthermore, computer calculations for several parameter configurations were made; rich dynamic behavior among periodic orbits high periodicity and chaos were observed through bifurcation diagrams. These results confirm the direct dependence between the parameters present in the intracavity chaos-generating element. Full article

This paper presents a new no-equilibrium 4-D hyperchaotic multistable system with coexisting hidden attractors. One prominent feature is that by varying the system parameter or initial value, the system can generate several nonlinear complex attractors: periodic, quasiperiodic, multiple topology chaotic, and hyperchaotic. The dynamics and complexity of the proposed system were investigated through Lyapunov exponents (LEs), a bifurcation diagram, a Poincaré map, and spectral entropy (SE). The simulation and calculation results show that the proposed multistable system has very rich and complex hidden dynamic characteristics. Additionally, the circuit of the chaotic system is designed to verify the physical realizability of the system. This study provides new insights into uncovering the dynamic characteristics of the coexisting hidden attractors system and provides a new choice for nonlinear control or chaotic secure communication technology.

Based on the complex-variable inequality and stability theory for fractional-order complex-valued system, a new scheme is presented for adaptive synchronization of FOCCS with unknown complex parameters. The proposed scheme not only provides a new method to analyze fractional-order complex-valued system but also significantly reduces the complexity of computation and analysis.

Today, four-dimensional chaotic systems are attracting considerable attention because of their special characteristics. This paper presents a non-equilibrium four-dimensional chaotic system with hidden attractors and investigates its dynamical behavior using a bifurcation diagram, as well as three well-known entropy measures, such as approximate entropy, sample entropy, and Fuzzy entropy. In order to stabilize the proposed chaotic system, an adaptive radial-basis function neural network (RBF-NN)–based control method is proposed to represent the model of the uncertain nonlinear dynamics of the system. The Lyapunov direct method-based stability analysis of the proposed approach guarantees that all of the closed-loop signals are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded. Also, adaptive learning laws are proposed to tune the weight coefficients of the RBF-NN. The proposed adaptive control approach requires neither the prior information about the uncertain dynamics nor the parameters value of the considered system. Results of simulation validate the performance of the proposed control method. Full article

Derived from Lorenz-Haken equations, this paper presents a new 4D chaotic laser system with three equilibria and only two quadratic nonlinearities. Dynamics analysis, including stability of symmetric equilibria and the existence of coexisting multiple Hopf bifurcations on these equilibria, are investigated, and the complex coexisting behaviors of two and three attractors of stable point and chaotic are numerically revealed. Moreover, a conducted research on the complexity of the laser system reveals that the complexity of the system time series can locate and determine the parameters and initial values that show coexisting attractors. To investigate how much a chaotic system with multistability behavior is suitable for cryptographic applications, we generate a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) based on the complexity results of the laser system. The randomness test results show that the generated PRNG from the multistability regions fail to pass most of the statistical tests. Full article

The internet has provided a new means for manufacturers to reach consumers. On the background of the widespread multichannel sales in China, based on a literature review of the service game and multichannel supply chain, this paper builds a multichannel dynamic service game model where the retailer operates an offline channel and the manufacturer operates an online channel and offers customers the option to buy online and pick up from the retailer’s store (BOPS). The manufacturer and the retailer take maximizing the channel profits as their business objectives and make channel service game under optimal pricing. We carry on theoretical analysis of the model and perform numerical simulations from the perspective of entropy theory, game theory, and chaotic dynamics. The results show that the stability of the system will weaken with the increase in service elasticity coefficient and that it is unaffected by the feedback parameter adjustment of the retailer. The BOPS channel strengthens the cooperation between the manufacturer and the retailer and moderates the conflict between the online and the offline channels. The system will go into chaotic state and cause the system’s entropy to increase when the manufacturer adjusts his/her service decision quickly. In a chaotic state, the system is sensitive to initial conditions and service input is difficult to predict; the manufacturer and retailer need more additional information to make the system clear or use the method of feedback control to delay or eliminate the occurrence of chaos.

This paper is concerned with the co-existence of different synchronization types for fractional-order discrete-time chaotic systems with different dimensions. In particular, we show that through appropriate nonlinear control, projective synchronization (PS), full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS), and generalized synchronization (GS) can be achieved simultaneously. A second nonlinear control scheme is developed whereby inverse full state hybrid projective synchronization (IFSHPS) and inverse generalized synchronization (IGS) are shown to co-exist. Numerical examples are presented to confirm the findings. Full article

This paper brings analysis of the multiple-valued memory system (MVMS) composed by a pair of the resonant tunneling diodes (RTD). Ampere-voltage characteristic (AVC) of both diodes is approximated in operational voltage range as common in practice: by polynomial scalar function. Mathematical model of MVMS represents autonomous deterministic dynamical system with three degrees of freedom and smooth vector field. Based on the very recent results achieved for piecewise-linear MVMS numerical values of the parameters are calculated such that funnel and double spiral chaotic attractor is observed. Existence of such types of strange attractors is proved both numerically by using concept of the largest Lyapunov exponents (LLE) and experimentally by computer-aided simulation of designed lumped circuit using only commercially available active elements.

In this work, a new fractional-order chaotic system with a single parameter and four nonlinearities is introduced. One striking feature is that by varying the system parameter, the fractional-order system generates several complex dynamics: self-excited attractors, hidden attractors, and the coexistence of hidden attractors. In the family of self-excited chaotic attractors, the system has four spiral-saddle-type equilibrium points, or two nonhyperbolic equilibria. Besides, for a certain value of the parameter, a fractional-order no-equilibrium system is obtained. This no-equilibrium system presents a hidden chaotic attractor with a `hurricane’-like shape in the phase space. Multistability is also observed, since a hidden chaotic attractor coexists with a periodic one. The chaos generation in the new fractional-order system is demonstrated by the Lyapunov exponents method and equilibrium stability. Moreover, the complexity of the self-excited and hidden chaotic attractors is analyzed by computing their spectral entropy and Brownian-like motions. Finally, a pseudo-random number generator is designed using the hidden dynamics. Full article

Designing a chaotic system with infinitely many attractors is a hot topic. In this paper, multiscale multivariate permutation entropy (MMPE) and multiscale multivariate Lempel–Ziv complexity (MMLZC) are employed to analyze the complexity of those self-reproducing chaotic systems with one-directional and two-directional infinitely many chaotic attractors. The analysis results show that complexity of this class of chaotic systems is determined by the initial conditions. Meanwhile, the values of MMPE are independent of the scale factor, which is different from the algorithm of MMLZC. The analysis proposed here is helpful as a reference for the application of the self-reproducing systems. Full article

The uniqueness is based on the doubling variable method. For the existence, we develop a new scheme of parabolic approximation motivated by the method of vanishing viscosity given by Feng and Nualart (J. Funct. Anal. 2008, 255, 313–373).

In this paper, a three-dimensional chaotic system with a hidden attractor is introduced. The complex dynamic behaviors of the system are analyzed with a Poincaré cross section, and the equilibria and initial value sensitivity are analyzed by the method of numerical simulation. Further, we designed a new algorithm based on complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and permutation entropy (PE) that can effectively enhance digital chaotic sequence complexity. In addition, an image encryption experiment was performed with post-processing of the chaotic binary sequences by the new algorithm.

In this paper, we introduce a new chaotic system that is used for an engineering application of the signal encryption. It has some interesting features, and its successful implementation and manufacturing were performed via a real circuit as a random number generator. In addition, we provide a parameter estimation method to extract chaotic model parameters from the real data of the chaotic circuit. The parameter estimation method is based on the attractor distribution modeling in the state space, which is compatible with the chaotic system characteristics. Here, a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is used as a main part of cost function computations in the parameter estimation method. To optimize the cost function, we also apply two recent efficient optimization methods: WOA (Whale Optimization Algorithm), and MVO (Multi-Verse Optimizer) algorithms. The results show the success of the parameter estimation procedure. Full article

This paper reports about a novel three-dimensional chaotic system with three nonlinearities. The system has one stable equilibrium, two stable equilibria and one saddle node, two saddle foci and one saddle node for different parameters. One salient feature of this novel system is its multiple attractors caused by different initial values. With the change of parameters, the system experiences mono-stability, bi-stability, mono-periodicity, bi-periodicity, one strange attractor, and two coexisting strange attractors. The complex dynamic behaviors of the system are revealed by analyzing the corresponding equilibria and using the numerical simulation method. In addition, an electronic circuit is given for implementing the chaotic attractors of the system. Using the new chaotic system, an S-Box is developed for cryptographic operations. Moreover, we test the performance of this produced S-Box and compare it to the existing S-Box studies. Full article
