In this manuscript, we study a Leslie–Gower predator-prey model with a hyperbolic functional response and weak Allee effect. The results reveal that the model supports coexistence and oscillation of both predator and prey populations. We also identify regions in the parameter space in which different kinds of bifurcations, such as saddle-node bifurcations, Hopf bifurcations and Bogdanov–Takens bifurcations.

Recent Trends of Controlling Chaotic Resonance and Future Perspectives

Stochastic resonance is a phenomenon in which the effects of additive noise strengthen the signal response against weak input signals in non-linear systems with a specific barrier or threshold. Recently, several studies on stochastic resonance have been conducted considering various engineering applications. In addition to additive stochastic noise, deterministic chaos causes a phenomenon similar to the stochastic resonance, which is known as chaotic resonance. The signal response of the chaotic resonance is maximized around the attractor-merging bifurcation for the emergence of chaos-chaos intermittency. Previous studies have shown that the sensitivity of chaotic resonance is higher than that of stochastic resonance. However, the engineering applications of chaotic resonance are limited. There are two possible reasons for this. First, the stochastic noise required to induce stochastic resonance can be easily controlled from outside of the stochastic resonance system. Conversely, in chaotic resonance, the attractor-merging bifurcation must be induced via the adjustment of internal system parameters. In many cases, achieving this adjustment from outside the system is difficult, particularly in biological systems. Second, chaotic resonance degrades owing to the influence of noise, which is generally inevitable in real-world systems. Herein, we introduce the findings of previous studies concerning chaotic resonance over the past decade and summarize the recent findings and conceivable approaches for the reduced region of orbit feedback method to address the aforementioned difficulties.

Entrainment Dynamics Organised by Global Manifolds in a Circadian Pacemaker Model

Circadian rhythms are established by the entrainment of our intrinsic body clock to periodic forcing signals provided by the external environment, primarily variation in light intensity across the day/night cycle. Loss of entrainment can cause a multitude of physiological difficulties associated with misalignment of circadian rhythms, including insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, gastrointestinal disturbances, and general malaise. This can occur after travel to different time zones, known as jet lag; when changing shift work patterns; or if the period of an individual’s body clock is too far from the 24 h period of environmental cycles. We consider the loss of entrainment and the dynamics of re-entrainment in a two-dimensional variant of the Forger-Jewett-Kronauer model of the human circadian pacemaker forced by a 24 h light/dark cycle. We explore the loss of entrainment by continuing bifurcations of one-to-one entrained orbits under variation of forcing parameters and the intrinsic clock period. We show that the severity of the loss of entrainment is dependent on the type of bifurcation inducing the change of stability of the entrained orbit, which is in turn dependent on the environmental light intensity. We further show that for certain perturbations, the model predicts counter-intuitive rapid re-entrainment if the light intensity is sufficiently high. We explain this phenomenon via computation of invariant manifolds of fixed points of a 24 h stroboscopic map and show how the manifolds organise re-entrainment times following transitions between day and night shift work.
