In the last decade we have witnessed exciting technological advances in the fabrication and control of microelectromechanical and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS&NEMS) [16, 19, 26, 54, 55]. Such systems are being developed for a host of nanotechnological applications, such as highly sensitive mass [25, 34, 67], spin [56], and charge detectors [17, 18], as well as for basic research in the m...

Consider the stochastic Duffing-van der Pol equation ẍ = −ω2x− Ax −Bx2ẋ + εβẋ + εσxẆt with A ≥ 0 and B > 0. If β/2 + σ/8ω > 0 then for small enough ε > 0 the system (x, ẋ) is positive recurrent in R \ {0}. Let λ̃ε denote the top Lyapunov exponent for the linearization of this equation along trajectories. The main result asserts that λ̃ε ∼ ελ̃ as ε → 0 where λ̃ is the top Lyapunov exponent along tra...

The effect of the shape of six different periodic forces and second periodic forces on the onset of horseshoe chaos are studied both analytically and numerically in a Duffing oscillator. The external periodic forces considered are sine wave, square wave, symmetric saw-tooth wave, asymmetric saw-tooth wave, rectified sine wave, and modulus of sine wave. An analytical threshold condition for the ...

Recently the classical variational problem for a Duffing type equation received again some attention. In [1], [2], [7], some variational approaches were used in order to receive the existence of solutions for both periodic and Dirichlet type boundary value problems. Mainly direct method is applied under various conditions pertaining to at most quadratic growth imposed on the nonlinear term give...

In the present paper, a new analytical technique is introduced for obtaining approximate periodic solutions of Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator. Modified Harmonic Balance Method (MHBM) is adopted as the solution method. A classical harmonic balance method does not apply directly for solving Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator. Generally, a set of difficult nonlinear algebraic equations is found when MHBM ...

The so-called ``small denominator problem'' was a fundamental problem of dynamics, as pointed out by Poincar\'{e}. Small denominators appear most commonly in perturbative theory. Duffing equation is the simplest example non-integrable system exhibiting all problems due to small denominators. In this paper, using forced an example, we illustrate that famous problems'' never if non-perturbative a...

Abstract Nonlinear Auto-Regressive eXogenous input (NARX) models are a popular class of nonlinear dynamical models. Often polynomial basis expansion is used to describe the internal multivariate mapping (P-NARX). Resorting fixed functions convenient since it results in closed form solution estimation problem. The drawback, however, that predefined does not necessarily lead sparse representation...

The paper contains technical details and proofs of recent results developed by the author, regarding the design of LPV controllers directly from experimental data. A numerical example is also presented, about control of the Duffing oscillator.

this paper proposes a hybrid control scheme for the synchronization of two chaotic duffing oscillator system, subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. the novelty of this scheme is that the linear quadratic regulation (lqr) control, sliding mode (sm) control and gaussian radial basis function neural network (grbfnn) control are combined to chaos synchronization with respect to extern...
