The growing need to safeguard sensitive data in various fields, including in relation to education, banking over the phone, private voice conferences, and the military, has grown as dependence on technology in daily life has increased. Encryption schemes based on chaotic systems are among the most commonly utilized approaches in the security field due to their high levels of safety and reliability. This study proposes a secure audio encryption framework based on the Chameleon chaotic algorithm implemented on a Xilinx ZedBoard Zynq-7000 FPGA. The system was designed using a fixed-point arithmetic format with 32-bit precision (eight integers; 24 fractional bits) with the Xilinx System Generator in MATLAB Simulink R2021b and verified using Vivado. The Chameleon Chaotic System, characterized by its transition from self-excited to hidden attractors through parameter variation, adds complexity to the system dynamics and strengthens the encryption algorithm. The Adaptive Feedback Control technique was applied to synchronize the signals. These methods enhance the security of audio data by ensuring robust and fast synchronization during transmission. The performance of the proposed system was assessed using correlation analysis, the mean squared error, histogram analysis, and audio spectrogram analysis. The system demonstrated strong encryption capabilities with low correlation values (−0.0033). In decryption, they achieved high fidelity with a correlation exceeding 0.999 in noise-free conditions and above 0.9933 under 20 dB AWGN. Adaptive Feedback Control showed superior decryption precision with lower MSEU and higher PSNR, confirming its effectiveness under noisy environments.

This paper investigates the dynamics of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and controls its chaotic speed behavior using the synergetic control technique (SCT). The model includes electrical dynamics in the dq frame and mechanical speed dynamics, with a scalar parameter γ capturing cross-coupling effects. The equilibrium structure and local stability properties of the PMSM are analyzed. For zero input voltages and zero load torque, the system exhibits a pitchfork-type bifurcation in the electrical–mechanical equilibrium as γ crosses a critical value. Explicit expressions are derived for all equilibria, and their stability is characterized using eigenvalue analysis and the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, and a secondary loss of stability via a Hopf-type mechanism is identified. The case of nonzero input voltages with zero load torque is also discussed. Numerical simulations confirm the analytical results and highlight the parameter regions that admit stable operation. Bifurcation diagrams show the different PMSM behaviors as the parameter γ varies. For a certain interval of γ, the PMSM speed undergoes chaotic oscillations. The SCT is introduced to control the chaos. Macro variables are chosen to design the SCT. The derived SCT is implemented to eliminate the chaotic speed. The controller provides good performance in suppressing the chaos. The controller is tested under sudden reference speed change where the controller gets the new reference speed accurately. It is also evaluated under sudden and sinusoidal load torque variations.

We study the Cauchy problem for a loaded fractional integro-differential equation with a time-dependent diffusion coefficient. By reducing the problem to an equivalent Volterra integral equation of the second kind, we derive explicit analytical representations of solutions under appropriate regularity assumptions. The construction of the associated resolvent kernel allows us to establish existence and uniqueness results and to investigate the role of the fractional order and the loading term in the solution structure. Two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.

This article proposes a method for forming invariant stochastic differential systems, namely dynamic systems with trajectories belonging to a given smooth manifold. The Itô or Stratonovich stochastic differential equations with the Wiener component describe dynamic systems, and the manifold is implicitly defined by a differentiable function. A convenient implementation of the algorithm for forming invariant stochastic differential systems within symbolic computation environments characterizes the proposed method. It is based on determining a basis associated with a tangent hyperplane to the manifold. This article discusses the problem of basis degeneration and examines variants that allow for the simple construction of a basis that does not degenerate. Examples of invariant stochastic differential systems are given, and numerical simulations are performed for them.
