Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Talking about dynamics is often challenging because it has gained importance in understanding natural phenomena through differential equations proposed by Newton and Leibniz at the start of the 17th century.

Following these seminal works, several fields of natural sciences developed models and ways to describe their study objects by considering how the various observable variables evolve depending on temporal and spatial dynamics.

Starting with ordinary equations for mechanical problems, the idea was to provide exact analytical solutions that, until now, are difficult to obtain in a general fashion.

Considering the broader development of engineering and physics during the 18th and 19th centuries, continuous fluid mechanics and electromagnetism were characterized by partial derivative equations with rigorous mathematical formulations, proposed by Navier, Stokes, and Maxwell.

At the start of the 20th century, Poincaré formulated the three-bodies problem, wherein initial proximity of the bodies could lead to divergence due to nonlinearities.

Connecting this idea with the turbulence phenomenon, Ruelle and Takens proposed that nonlinearities and high state space dimensions would be responsible for this intriguing nature manifestation.

Nowadays, chaos, initial condition sensitivity, noise due to nonlinearities, unpredictability, and complexity appear in all science studies: meteorology, physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, and social sciences; nonlinear dynamics is ubiquitous.

This Special Issue welcomes the inclusion of various approaches and study areas, which have been thoroughly examined and discussed.

Supply chains comprise various interconnected components like suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and customers, each with unique variables and interactions. Managing dynamic supply chains is highly challenging, particularly when considering various sources of risk factors. This paper extensively explores dynamical analysis and multistability analysis to understand nonlinear behaviors and pinpoint potential risks within supply chains. Different phase portraits are used to demonstrate the impact of various factors such as transportation risk, quality risk, distortion, contingency reserves, and safety stock on both customers and retailers. We introduced a sliding mode control method that computes the sliding surface and its derivative by considering the error and its derivative. The equivalent control law based on the sliding surface and its derivative is derived and validated for control purposes. Our results show that the controller SMC can significantly enhance supply chain stability and efficiency. This research provides a robust framework for understanding complex supply chain dynamics and offers practical solutions to enhance supply chain resilience and flexibility. Full article

This paper presents a First-Order Recurrent Neural Network activated by a wavelet function, in particular a Morlet wavelet, with a fixed set of parameters and capable of identifying multiple chaotic systems. By maintaining a fixed structure for the neural network and using the same activation function, the network can successfully identify the three state variables of several different chaotic systems, including the Chua, PWL-Rössler, Anishchenko–Astakhov, Álvarez-Curiel, Aizawa, and Rucklidge models. The performance of this approach was validated by numerical simulations in which the accuracy of the state estimation was evaluated using the Mean Square Error (MSE) and the coefficient of determination (r2), which indicates how well the neural network identifies the behavior of the individual oscillators. In contrast to the methods found in the literature, where a neural network is optimized to identify a single system and its application to another model requires recalibration of the neural algorithm parameters, the proposed model uses a fixed set of parameters to efficiently identify seven chaotic systems. These results build on previously published work by the authors and advance the development of robust and generic neural network structures for the identification of multiple chaotic oscillators.
