This paper introduces the derivation of basic reproduction numbers for several epidemic models. The basic reproduction number plays an important role in describing the dynamic behavior of infectious disease models,which is an important indicator to determine the prevalence of diseases. Therefore, the basic reproductive number is a significant reference for the prevention and control of diseases and the immunization strategy. The basic reproduction numbers can be derived by means of the definition, the monotonicity of the infected individuals at the initial moment, the existence of the positive equilibrium and the local stability of the disease-free equilibrium, the numerical simulation,respectively. This paper introduces many epidemic models especially network model and calculates their basic reproduction numbers. Finally, we analyze the changes in the basic reproduction numbers during different periods.

As a carrier of “21st Century Maritime Silk Road”, the structure and capability of shipping network will have a close relationship to the efficiency of national international trade along the road. In order to figure out the structure of the complex system and explore the factors which affect its performance, we build a network model based on a large number of container liner records, and verifies its scale-free characteristics. At the same time, based on BA scale-free network theory, a simulation experiment is designed to explore the impact on network performance. The experimental results show that reasonable node processing capacity allocation scheme and routing parameters can improve the performance of the shipping network. The conclusion of the research can provide the theoretical basis for the optimal allocation of ports and routes along the “Maritime Silk Road in the 21st Century”.

This paper took the vowels in pinyin as a bridge, and established the Tang poetry hypernetwork based on 762 nodes of Tang poetry and 24 hyperedges of vowels. Results of theoretical analysis show that hyperdegree distribution exhibit the scale-free property, and Tang poetry hypernetwork exhibits high clustered property and heterogeneity. In addition, for the Tang poetry that rhyme only includes two vowels, this paper built weighted complex network of vowel to further study the relationship between the vowels. It is found that the vowels ‘eng’ and ‘ing’, and the vowels ‘ou’ and ‘iu’ tend to appear at the same poem. The vowels ‘i’ and ‘eng’ play an important role in rhyme of Tang poetry.

The division of labor, the fast-paced life, the disease and other factors make the hand of the nervous system to reduce the sensitivity of external perception. Since these factors degrade the stability of human hand movements, the paper designs vibration-resonance aided system, and studies the feasibility of this system in the enhancement of human hand movements. The signal source of the vibration-resonance aided system is generated by several vibration micro-motors that act on the opisthenar with different vibrational intensities. Analysis of variance and correlation time of the autocorrelation function hand movement, we find that the vibration-resonance aided system can improve the responsiveness of the nervous system and improve the stability of human hand movements, which is also meaningful for the design of medical rehabilitation instruments.

Adaptive Fuzzy Synchronization Control for a Class of Uncertain Chaotic Systems

Complex Systems and Complexity Science. 2017, 14 (4): 79-88.

For a class of chaotic systems with unknown nonlinear functions, parameters and disturbances, by employing a time-varying parameter into T-S fuzzy logic systems with nonlinear consequents (T-S-FLS-NRC), the adaptive fuzzy synchronization controller is designed based on the online estimation of parameters by the adaptive method, and the asymptotical synchronization of drive-response chaotic systems is achieved. Generally speaking, T-S-FLS-NRC has higher approximation ability, and we can use the fewer fuzzy rules to approximate the unknown nonlinearities in master and slave systems. Moreover, the number of parameter adaptive laws is not related with the number of fuzzy rules during the process of designing the synchronization controller. Therefore, the synchronization method in this paper is able not only to reduce the on-line computational burden significantly but also to be broader applications for the fuzzy logic systems with few fuzzy rules and high interpretability by using intuition inferences. Finally, the simulations show the validity of the method in this paper.

Guaranteed Set Based Self-Triggered Control of Multi-Agent Systems

In order to address real-time manipulation of the networked cyber-physical systems in a distributed style, a new self-triggered strategy was suggested. Different from the already existed strategies, the guaranteed set was borrowed to join in, where agents could exchange information about their future reachable states. And moreover, the up-coming reachable states were collectively coined as guaranteed set. The available guaranteed set made it possible for the agents to autonomously schedule the instant requested information in the up-coming horizon. On account of that, the leveraged performance with lower cost, was turned into reality. At the same time, the Lyapunov function was built to verify the effectiveness of the suggested scheme, where the simulation results of a multi-agent system was also added in to keep the integrity of the touched upon idea.
