Chaos, an inherent phenomenon manifested by both continuous and discrete dynamic nonlinear systems has become an essential component of engineering design. This study examines the relationship between chaos and bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms from two distinct angles: the presence of chaos within the realm of algorithms, and the application of bio-inspired algorithms for the identification, control, or synthesis of complex systems. Furthermore, this paper offers an in-depth exploration of the interplay between metaheuristics and complex nonlinear dynamics, including potential avenues for future research. The presented simulation studies, along with the design of objective functions for optimization and the implementation of metaheuristics, serve as a valuable foundation for subsequent experiments involving discrete nonlinear systems and complex systems with time delays. Such systems may benefit from multiparametric or multicriteria optimization approaches, paving the way for novel advancements in the field.","PeriodicalId":15616,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Difference Equations and Applications","volume":"149 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86124794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model behaviours are discussed mainly from the point of view of stability, bifurcations and chaos. By utilizing Jury's stability criteria, the Cournot-Nash equilibrium's asymptotic stability is examined. We found that under certain conditions, when consumer willingness to pay was taken as a bifurcation parameter, the system undergoes a flip bifurcation and a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation. Lyapunov exponents are used to demonstrate that the system becomes chaotic through each of the previous bifurcations.","PeriodicalId":15616,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Difference Equations and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75583281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To increase signal transmission security over the public channel, this system is composed of two chaotic systems on the transmitter and receiver sides. Borne and Gentina criterion associated with the Benrejeb arrow form matrix is used for stability study and system description to ensure the synchronization between these chaotic systems. The case of electrocardiogram encryption and decryption is considered an application to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed chaotic encryption approach. The performance analyses of the proposed secure communication under the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel, brute force attack and some statistical attacks have shown that the proposed encryption scheme exhibited a high level of security, could maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the transmitted information and the original signal can be accurately recovered even in the presence of noise.A comparitive study between different methods is given to show the advantages and the drawbacks of the proposed communication system.","PeriodicalId":15616,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Difference Equations and Applications","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81955584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
