Successful identification of directed dynamical influence in complex systems is relevant to significant problems of current interest. Traditional methods based on Granger causality and transfer entropy have issues such as difficulty with nonlinearity and large data requirement. Recently a framework based on nonlinear dynamical analysis was proposed to overcome these difficulties. We find, surpr...

−A systematic formulation of constitutive relations for general field systems is explored, which takes into account the main material features. These are dispersion, inhomogeneity, which can be present in linear and nonlinear systems. There are two main difficulties associated with existing representations: Dispersion is usually referred to in the spectral domain, while inhomogeneity is obvious...

In this paper, using a power series methodology a design procedure applicable to analytic nonlinear plants is described . The technique used is a generalization of the linear HOC> theory. In contrast. to previolls work on this topic (lIndiana J. Math., 36 (1987), pp. 693-7091. rOper. Theory Adv. Appl., 41 (1989), pp . 255-277]' [SIAM J. Control Optim., 27 (1989), pp. 842­ 860]), the authors are...

herbicide toxicities are considered as an important issue in public health programs of developing countries. this investigation aims at studying epidemiologic toxicities caused by paraquat herbicide and comparing factors influencing these patients’ causality in kermanshah imam khomeini hospital. in a descriptive-survey study, 9 patients poisoned by paraquat herbicide were considered statistical...

Recently, methods have been developed to analyse couplings in dynamic systems. In the field of medical analysis of complex cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory systems, there is growing interest in how insights may be gained into the interaction between regulatory mechanisms in healthy and diseased persons. The couplings within and between these systems can be linear or nonlinear. However, the ...

This paper investigates the endogenous money supply hypothesis in Iran. To this end, we attempt to find causality directions between bank credits and money aggregates. Utilizing Diks and Panchenko’s (2006) nonparametric Granger causality test for the time series data over the period 2006:04-2018:12 confirms the existence of a significant causality running from bank credits to money aggregates. ...

This paper investigates the relationship between total energy consumption and GDP in six countries of the Middle East , including Iran,Pakistan,Saudi Arabia,Oman,Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. The data are annual and spanning the period 1980-2012.We employed Hsiao’s (1981) methodology to examine causality relation between total energy consumption and GDP.The empirical findings show a uni...

With the assumption that the effect is a mathematical function of the cause in a causal relationship, FUNCHISQ, a chi-square test defined on a non-parametric representation of interactions, infers network topology considering both interaction directionality and nonlinearity. Here we show that both experimental and in silico biological network data suggest the importance of directionality as evi...

Lattice control can unify nonlinear control systems where the basic vector and signal superpositions or transformations are based on the lattice supremum and infimum. In this paper we introduce a special case of lattice control that can model fuzzy dynamical systems in state space. Vector and signal transformations are represented as lattice dilations or erosions. The state and output responses...
