one of the basic tenets in recent international trade literature is about the effect of trade integration on business cycle synchronization (bcs) among trading countries. the objective of this paper is to explore the main determinants of business cycle synchronization, with emphasis on trade integration. to this end, we have specified two simultaneous regression equations which were estimated b...

In this paper, the synchronization of a new hyperchaotic complex system based on T-S fuzzy model is proposed. First, the considered hyperchaotic system is represented by T-S fuzzy model equivalently. Then, by using the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) method and by applying linear system theory and exact linearization (EL) technique, a fuzzy controller is designed to realize the synchron...

A decentralized control law using a backstepping scheme is proposed to deal with a leader follower multiple robots structure. Based on graph theory and Laplacian, the coordination strategy combines the leader follower control with the decentralized control. In fact, in the proposed approach, each follower robot only needs the information exchange with its connected neighbors and does not assume...

In this paper, a Fractional Adaptive Fuzzy Logic Control (FAFLC) strategy based on active fractional sliding mode (FSM) theory is considered to synchronize chaotic fractional-order systems. Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems are used to estimate the plant dynamics represented by unknown fractional order functions. One of the main contributions in this work is to combine an adaptive fractional order PI...

This paper investigates an active control method is proposed to generalize projective synchronize two identical chaotic dynamical systems by constructing the response system no matter whether they are identical. The proposed technique is applied to achieve generalized projective synchronization for the Four scroll attractor, where all state variables are in a proportional way. A strategy for pr...

Our goal is to develop a co-player music robot, i.e., a robot that presents a musical expression together with humans. A music interaction requires two important functions: synchronization with the music and musical expression, such as dancing or playing a musical instrument. Many instrumentperforming robots are only capable of the latter function, they may have difficulty in playing live with ...

In this paper we propose a strategy for modelling a human hand for Haptics interaction.The strategy consists in a parallel computing architecture that calculates the dynamics of a hand, this is accomplished by computing the dynamics of each finger in a parallel manner. In this approach multiple threads (e.g. haptics thread, graphics thread, collision detection thread, etc.) run concurrently and...

In recent years, investigating synchronization of business cycles among countries, after increasing integration of global economies, has been attracted more attention of policy makers and researchers. Perhaps an unknown origin of such similarities, as an open question, is the main reason of these interests. So, with regard to the mentioned question, the aim of this paper is to investigate some ...
