Based on the oligopoly game theory, a dynamic duopoly Cournot model with bounded rationality and consumer surplus is established. On the one hand, the type and the stability of the boundary equilibrium points and the stability conditions of the Nash equilibrium point are discussed in detail. On the other hand, the potential complex dynamics of the system is demonstrated by a set of 2D bifurcation diagrams. It is found that the bifurcation diagrams have beautiful fractal structures when the adjustment speed of production is taken as the bifurcation parameter. And it is verified that the area with scattered points in the 2D bifurcation diagrams is caused by the coexistence of multiple attractors. It is also found that there may be two, three or four coexisting attractors. It is even found the coexistence of Milnor attractor and other attractors. Moreover, the topological structure of the attracting basin and global dynamics of the system are investigated by the noninvertible map theory, using the critical curve and the transverse Lyapunov exponent. It is concluded that two different types of global bifurcations may occur. Because of the symmetry of the system, it can be concluded that the diagonal of the system is an invariant one-dimensional submanifold. And it is controlled by a one-dimensional map which is equivalent to the classical Logistic map. The bifurcation curve of the system on the adjustment speed and the weight of the consumer surplus is obtained based on the properties of the Logistic map. And the synchronization phenomenon along the invariant diagonal is discussed at the end of the paper.

This paper proposes a new three-dimensional chaotic system with no equilibrium point but can generate hidden chaotic attractors. Dynamic characteristics of the system are analyzed in detail by theoretical analysis and simulating experiments, including hidden attractors, transient period and coexisting attractors. Different hidden coexisting attractors exist in this system, which shows abundant and complex dynamic characteristics and can be used to generate pseudorandom sequences for encryption fields. Besides, the presented system is realized by the digital signal processing (DSP) technology to construct a chaotic signal generator, whose statistical properties are tested by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) software. The obtained results are better than that of the Lorenz system and imply the presented system can be used in the encrypted fields.

In this paper, a dynamical two-stage game with R&D competition and joint profit maximization is built. The stability of all the equilibrium points is discussed through Jury condition, and the stability region of the Nash equilibrium point is then given. The influence of the parameters on the system is discussed, and we find that the firm can even benefit from chaos, when it has higher innovation efficiency and higher adjusting speed. And then the coexistence of multiple attractors is studied using basin of attraction. Our research result shows that the coexisting attractors can be observed in the two-parameter bifurcation diagram. At last, the boundary of feasible region, global bifurcations, and formation mechanism of fractal structure of attracting basin are analyzed through critical curves and noninvertible map theory.Hindawi

A large number of animal experiments show that there is irregular chaos in the biological nervous systems. An artificial chaotic neural network is a highly nonlinear dynamic system, which can realize a series of complex dynamic behaviors, optimize global search and neural computation, and generate pseudo-random sequences for information encryption. According to the superposition theory of sinusoidal signals with different frequencies of brain waves, a non-monotone activation function based on the multifrequency-frequency conversion sinusoidal function and a piecewise function is proposed to make a neural network more consistent with the biological characteristics. The analysis shows that by adjusting the parameters, the activation function can exhibit the EEG signals in its different states, which can simulate the rich and varying brain activities when the brain waves of different frequencies and types work at the same time. According to the activation function we design a new chaotic cellular neural network. The complexity of the chaotic neural network is analyzed by the structural complexity based SE algorithm and C0 algorithm. By means of Lyapunov exponential spectrum, bifurcation diagram and basin of attraction, the effects of the activation function’s parameters on its dynamic characteristics are analyzed in detail, and it is found that a series of complex phenomena appears in the chaotic neural network, such as many different types of chaotic attractors, coexistent chaotic attractors and coexistence limit cycles, which improves the performance of the chaotic neural network, and proves that the multi-frequency sinusoidal chaotic neural network has rich dynamic characteristics, so it has a good prospect in information processing, information encryption and other aspects.

It is found that the fractional order memristor model can better simulate the characteristics of memristors and that chaotic circuits based on fractional order memristors also exhibit abundant dynamic behavior. This paper proposes an active fractional order memristor model and analyzes the electrical characteristics of the memristor via Power-Off Plot and Dynamic Road Map. We find that the fractional order memristor has continually stable states and is therefore nonvolatile. We also show that the memristor can be switched from one stable state to another under the excitation of appropriate voltage pulse. The volt–ampere hysteretic curves, frequency characteristics, and active characteristics of integral order and fractional order memristors are compared and analyzed. Based on the fractional order memristor and fractional order capacitor and inductor, we construct a chaotic circuit, of which the dynamic characteristics with respect to memristor’s parameters, fractional order α, and initial values are analyzed. The chaotic circuit has an infinite number of equilibrium points with multi-stability and exhibits coexisting bifurcations and coexisting attractors. Finally, the fractional order memristor-based chaotic circuit is verified by circuit simulations and DSP experiments.
