However, there are still some issues, such as complex structure and difficulty in regulation. Thus, constructing simple MSHA systems with complex dynamics has become a research focus in recent years. In this article, a new simple multi-scroll chaotic system with only one sinusoidal non-linear term is proposed. In particular, with respect to different system parameters, the proposed system can generate self-excited or hidden multi-scroll attractors flexibly. Furthermore, periodic or chaotic states can be observed within individual scrolls of multi-scroll attractor, depending on the various system parameters. In addition, both the system parameters and the transient simulation time can be conveniently adjusted to control the scroll counts. It should be noted that the proposed simple three-dimensional chaotic system can exhibit interesting initial-boosted dynamic behavior. Also, the coordinates of the attractor can be shifted due to offset-boosted behavior. This can be achieved by adjusting the independent non-bifurcated parameter <span><math><mi>d</mi></math></span>. Both initial-boosted and offset-boosted behaviors are capable of altering the location of the attractor within the state space without transforming its shape.

Cylindrical elastic biodegradable flow diverters of uniform radius are deployed in the flow channel near the entry of the bifurcation region. Employing finite element methods, fluid dynamics equations and structural equations are solved. Although flow diverters have historically been employed for managing aneurysms by encouraging thrombosis, the current work presents a novel use of flow diverters to reduce the risk of stenosis by balancing hemodynamic asymmetry.

Revealing the switching mechanism between the two different vibration states is an important topic in nonlinear dynamics. This work proposes a novel switching mechanism based on a hybrid van der Pol-Rayleigh-Duffing oscillator with slow-varying harmonic excitations, known as pulse-shaped explosion (PSE for short). PSE behavior is manifested as the system roots tending to the positive or negative infinities near some certain critical values, which can formally transform a smooth system into a combination of several non-smooth systems. To explore the occurrence of the PSE, we calculate the equilibrium state characteristics of the model and obtain the variation law of the system real solution with the cosine excitation function by the function monotonicity theory. From the general analyses of the relaxation oscillations and mixed-mode vibrations, we show that three different vibration-switching modes namely the switching between the excited and silent states induced by the PSEs, the switching between the two excited states induced by the PSEs and the switching between the two silent states induced by the PSEs can be exhibited. In addition, we show that the bifurcation-delay phenomenon caused by the cosine function slowly varying through the supercritical Hopf bifurcations can significant prolong the silent state process and the slow passage effect can terminate the trajectories’ tendency to the positive and negative infinities with the PSE to form a complete periodic structure.

That allows an analog to the classical picture of the phase space as the cotangent bundle. The mass-independent quantum geodesic equations as equations of free particle motion under a generic metric as a quantum observable are obtained from an invariant Hamiltonian.
