the efficiency and robustness of reliability methods are two important factors in first order reliability method (form). the conjugate choice control (ccc) and directional chaos control method (dcc) were developed to improve the robustness and efficiency of form formula using the stability transformation method. in this paper, the ccc and dcc methods are applied for reliability analysis of a co...

Analysis of nonlinear autonomous systems has been a popular field of study in recent decades. As an interesting nonlinear behavior, chaotic dynamics has been intensively investigated since Lorenz discovered the first physical evidence of chaos in his famous equations. Although many chaotic systems have been ever reported in the literature, a systematic and qualitative approach for chaos generat...

‎in the following text for arbitrary $x$ with at least two elements‎, ‎nonempty countable set $gamma$‎ ‎we make a comparative study on the collection of generalized shift dynamical systems like $(x^gamma,sigma_varphi)$ where $varphi:gammatogamma$ is an arbitrary self-map‎. ‎we pay attention to sub-systems and combinations of generalized shifts with counterexamples regarding devaney‎, ‎exact dev...

methods in this research, we utilized the chaos theory and fractal analysis in the interpretation of breast tumors on dce-mri. this cross-sectional study was done at pardisnoor imaging center during years 2015 and 2016 in iran. our sample size was 18 mass lesions, which were randomly selected among patients with birad 3 and birad 4 classification by the expert radiologist. the analysis was perf...

The nonlinear behavior analysis and chaos control for Duffing-Holmes chaotic system is discussed in the paper. In order to suppress the irregular chaotic motion, an optimal backstepping controller is designed. The backstepping method consists of parameters with positive values. The improper selection of the parameters leads to inappropriate responses or even may lead to instability of the syste...

Walking, as an important transportation mode, plays a large part in urban transportation systems. This mode is of great importance for planners and decision-makers because of its impact on environmental and health aspects of communities. However, this mode is so complex in nature that makes it difficult to study or model. On the other hand, chaos theory studies complex dynamical nonlinear syste...

In time series analysis, it has been considered of key importance to determine whether a complex time series measured from the system is regular, deterministically chaotic, or random. Recently, Gottwald and Melbourne have proposed an interesting test for chaos in deterministic systems. Their analyses suggest that the test may be universally applicable to any deterministic dynamical system. In o...

The emergence of second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a pivotal issue to the development of nano-optical devices and interfaces. Here, we perform a classical analysis of the SHG dynamics with the aim of determining critical values of the electric field. The signals of the SHG process are nonlinear, so it seems reasonable that chaos theory can be a suitable tool to analyze their dynamics. For thi...

In this paper, we derive new results for global chaos control of chaotic systems via sliding control. We also explore the analysis and global chaos control of the hyperchaotic Li system (2005) using sliding control. The global chaos control results via sliding control have been established using Lyapunov stability theory. Numerical simulations using MATLAB are shown to validate and depict the e...
