The work is devoted to the systematic research of the periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic oscillations and the coexistence in the nonlinear Duffing-van der Pol type dynamical systems describing processes and phenomena in nature or engineering. The achieved result is the elaboration of the basic theory for searching nonlinear effects based on the concepts of periodic skeletons, bifurcation theor...

Since the idea of synchronizing two identical chaotic systems under different initial conditions was first introduced by Pecora and Carroll, the synchronization of chaotic systems has attracted much attention, and the synchronization of non-identical chaotic systems has also been investigated. Single-Machine Infinite-Bus (SMIB) power system has nonlinear behaviour. On account of avoiding undesi...

The problem of the dual synchronization of two different fractional-order chaotic systems is studied. By a linear controller, we realize the dual synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems. Finally, the proposed method is applied for dual synchronization of Van der Pol-Willis systems and Van der Pol-Duffing systems. The numerical simulation shows the accuracy of the theory.

Identification and control problems for unknown chaotic dynamical systems are considered. Our aim is to regulate the unknown chaos to a fixed point or a stable periodic orbit. This is realized by following two contributions. First, a dynamic neural network is used as identifier. The weights of the neural networks are adjusted by the sliding mode technique. Second, we derive a local optimal cont...

Backstepping design is a recursive procedure that combines the choice of a Lyapunov function with the design of a controller. In this paper it is proposed for synchronizing chaotic systems. There are several advantages in this method for synchronizing chaotic systems: (a) it presents a systematic procedure for selecting a proper controller in chaos synchronization; (b) it can be applied to a va...

To apply effective methods to analyze and distinguish all kinds of response patterns is an important issue of nonlinear dynamics. This paper contributes to develop an alternative Poincaré section method to analyze and identify the whirl responses of a nonlinear oscillator. This integration for analyzing high-order harmonic and chaotic motions is used to integrate the distance between state traj...

We explore the dynamics of a periodically driven Duffing resonator coupled elastically to a van der Pol oscillator in the case of 1 : 1 internal resonance in the cases of weak and strong coupling. Whilst strong coupling leads to dominating synchronization, the weak coupling case leads to a multitude of complex behaviours. A two-time scales method is used to obtain the frequencyamplitude modulat...

Based on a newly developed canonical dual transformation methodology, this paper presents a potentially useful duality theory and method for solving fully nonlinear distributed-parameter control problems. The extended Lagrange duality and the interesting triality theory proposed recently in finite deformation theory are generalized into nonconvex dissipative Hamiltonian systems. It is shown tha...

This work presents a new technique to securely transmit and retrieve a message signal via chaotic systems. In our system, a two-valued message signal modulates the frequency of a Duffing oscillator sinusoidal term. An observer is used in the receiver side to retrieve the sinusoidal signal that contains the message and a novel frequency estimator is then used to reproduce an approximated estimat...
