Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As a rule, modern dynamical systems can be described by means of essential nonlinear differential equations and their systems. In most cases, analytical solutions to such systems cannot be found. In this regard, it is of interest to develop new and modernize known methods for the study of the stability of dynamic systems. In particular, it should be noted that the use of asymptotic methods makes it possible to study the evolution of slow variables and greatly simplifies the analysis of the stability of dynamical systems.

The intention of this Special Issue is to collect original and review articles devoted to the latest achievements in the field of mathematical modeling and the development of methods for the analysis of the stability of nonlinear dynamical systems.

The achievement and control of desired motions in active machines often involves precise manipulation of artificial muscles in a distributed and sequential manner, which poses significant challenges. A novel motion control strategy based on self-oscillation in active machines offers distinctive benefits, such as direct energy harvesting from the ambient environment and the elimination of complex controllers. Drawing inspiration from automobiles, a self-moving automobile designed for operation under steady illumination is developed, comprising two wheels and a liquid crystal elastomer fiber. To explore the dynamic behavior of this self-moving automobile under steady illumination, a nonlinear theoretical model is proposed, integrating with the established dynamic liquid crystal elastomer model. Numerical simulations are conducted using the Runge-Kutta method based on MATLAB software, and it is observed that the automobile undergoes a supercritical Hopf bifurcation, transitioning from a static state to a self-moving state. The sustained periodic self-moving is facilitated by the interplay between light energy and damping dissipation. Furthermore, the conditions under which the Hopf bifurcation occurs are analyzed in detail. It is worth noting that increasing the light intensity or decreasing rolling resistance coefficient can improve the self-moving average velocity. The innovative design of the self-moving automobile offers advantages such as not requiring an independent power source, possessing a simple structure, and being sustainable. These characteristics make it highly promising for a range of applications including actuators, soft robotics, energy harvesting, and more. Full article

We consider the two- and n-body problems on the two-dimensional conformal sphere MR2, with a radius R>0. We employ an alternative potential free of singularities at antipodal points. We study the limit of relative equilibria under the SO(2) symmetry; we examine the specific conditions under which a pair of positive-mass particles, situated at antipodal points, can maintain a state of relative equilibrium as they traverse along a geodesic. It is identified that, under an appropriate radius–mass relationship, these particles experience an unrestricted and free movement in alignment with the geodesic of the canonical Killing vector field in MR2. An even number of bodies with pairwise conjugated positions, arranged in a regular n-gon, all with the same mass m, move freely on a geodesic with suitable velocities, where this geodesic motion behaves like a relative equilibrium. Also, a center of mass formula is included. A relation is found for the relative equilibrium in the two-body problem in the sphere similar to the Snell law. Full article

In nonlinear dynamics, there is a continuous exploration of introducing systems with evidence of chaotic behavior. The presence of nonlinearity within system equations is crucial, as it allows for the emergence of chaotic dynamics. Given that quadratic terms represent the simplest form of nonlinearity, our study focuses on introducing a novel chaotic system characterized by only quadratic nonlinearities. We conducted an extensive analysis of this system’s dynamical properties, encompassing the examination of equilibrium stability, bifurcation phenomena, Lyapunov analysis, and the system’s basin of attraction. Our investigations revealed the presence of eight unstable equilibria, the coexistence of symmetrical strange repeller(s), and the potential for multistability in the system. Full article

Developing stability analysis methods for modern dynamical system solutions has been a significant challenge in the field. This study aims to formulate a qualitative analysis approach for the monotone stability region of a specific solution to a single differential equation within a dynamical system. The system in question comprises two first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations of a particular kind. The method proposed hinges on applying elements of combinatorics to the traditional mathematical investigation of a function with a single independent variable. This approach enables the exact determination of the different qualitative scenarios in which the desired solution changes, under the assumption that the function values monotonically diminish from a specified value down to a finite zero. This paper outlines the creation and decomposition of the monotone stability region associated with the solution under consideration. Full article
