Controlling Stochastic Sensitivity by Feedback Regulators in Nonlinear Dynamical Systems with Incomplete Information

The problem of synthesis of stochastic sensitivity for equilibrium modes in nonlinear randomly forced dynamical systems with incomplete information is considered. We construct a feedback regulator that uses noisy data on some system state coordinates. For parameters of the regulator providing assigned stochastic sensitivity, a quadratic matrix equation is derived. Attainability of the assigned stochastic sensitivity is reduced to the solvability of this equation. We suggest a constructive algorithm for solving this quadratic matrix equation. These general theoretical results are used to solve the problem of stabilizing equilibrium modes of nonlinear stochastic oscillators under conditions of incomplete information. Details of our approach are illustrated on the example of a van der Pol oscillator.

Asymptotic Phase and Amplitude for Classical and Semiclassical Stochastic Oscillators via Koopman Operator Theory

The asymptotic phase is a fundamental quantity for the analysis of deterministic limit-cycle oscillators, and generalized definitions of the asymptotic phase for stochastic oscillators have also been proposed. In this article, we show that the asymptotic phase and also amplitude can be defined for classical and semiclassical stochastic oscillators in a natural and unified manner by using the eigenfunctions of the Koopman operator of the system. We show that the proposed definition gives appropriate values of the phase and amplitude for strongly stochastic limit-cycle oscillators, excitable systems undergoing noise-induced oscillations, and also for quantum limit-cycle oscillators in the semiclassical regime.

Numerical discretization of stochastic oscillators with generalized numerical integrators

In this study, we propose a numerical scheme for stochastic oscillators with additive noise obtained by the method of variation of constants formula using generalized numerical integrators. For both of the displacement and the velocity components, we show that the scheme has an order of 3/2 in one step convergence and a first order in overall convergence. Theoretical statements are supported by numerical experiments.

Controlling oscillator coherence by multiple delay feedback

We consider the implementation of a weak feedback with two delay times for controlling the coherence of both deterministic chaotic and stochastic oscillators. This control strategy is revealed to allow one to decrease or enhance the coherence, which is quantified by the phase diffusion constant, by 2-3 orders of magnitude without destruction of the chaotic regime, which is by an order of magnitude more than one can achieve with a single delay time. Within the framework of the phase reduction, which is a rough approximation for the chaotic oscillators and rigorous for the stochastic ones, an analytical theory of the effect is constructed.
