The comparative analysis is performed for three different viscoelastic fluid models: Oldroyd-B, Maxwell, Rivlin-Ericksen fluid, along with the Newtonian fluid model. In weakly nonlinear stability analysis, a generalized eight-mode Lorenz model is developed that satisfies the general properties of a classical Lorenz model. From this reduced model, the critical points and Hopf-Rayleigh number, representing the initiation of chaos through Hopf bifurcation are determined. The Lyapunov exponents are used to characterize the chaotic, periodic and quasi-periodic motions of the system.

Three scenarios are considered: the anisotropic XY model, the Ising model, and the mixed ferromagnetic model. The findings demonstrate that the Stirling cycle can function as a refrigerator, accelerator, heat engine, or heater, with its operational mode highly tunable via external parameters, including the magnetic field, the anisotropy parameter, the temperature ratio of the heat baths, and the ratio of the magnetic coupling strengths. Transitions between these regimes are governed by quantum fluctuations, anisotropy effects, and thermal gradients.

Combining the Newman-Janis formalism and the Hamilton-Jacobi algorithm, we approach the rotating black hole shadows using one dimensional real curves.

For stellar matter content, we adopt a widely used quark-matter model that approximates a realistic equation of state (EoS). By numerically integrating the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations, we obtain interior solutions for static, spherically symmetric fluid spheres. The resulting sequences are compared directly with the predictions of General Relativity (GR). Our analysis focuses on three diagnostic indicators: (i) the mass-radius profiles under GR and three representative choices of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling; (ii) the stellar compactness factor, <em>C</em> ≡ <em>M</em>/<em>R</em>; and (iii) the relation between stellar mass and central energy density. Recent observational studies suggest that the maximum masses inferred from the mass-radius relation may be larger than previously expected. To address this, we include a comparative set of constraints from multi-messenger astrophysical observations, including gravitational-wave event GW190814, as well as X-ray measurements from NICER for PSR J0740+6620 and PSR J0030+0451. These data provide stringent, astrophysically grounded tests of the viability of the models discussed here. Our results indicate that compact stars within 4DEGB gravity are systematically less compact and achieve moderately higher maximum masses compared to the GR case. This trend is consistent with recent theoretical analyses of compact stars in higher-curvature gravity theories and with constraints from multi-messenger astrophysics.
