Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Logic is a fundamental concept of understanding real words. When logical dynamics is considered in hybrid systems, logical systems are encountered. Logical systems are an effective tool to model genetic regulatory networks as well as social networks, which has attracted much attention from various scientists, including several Nobel prize winners. Logical networks include Boolean networks, multi-valued logical networks, and mix-valued logical networks. In a Boolean network, each gene can take two possible values, 1 and 0, and its value (1 or 0) indicates its measured abundance (expressed or unexpressed; high or low). From a graphical perspective, genes in a Boolean network are nodes in this network, and edges describe regulatory relationships between genes. Based on Boolean networks, several important logical models are established, such as networked evolutionary games, hybrid automata, hybrid Petri nets, finite-field networks, feedback shift registers, fuzzy control, and so on. When delay, impulse, switching, and uncertainty are considered in logical systems, various generalized systems are obtained. Recently, there have been many new developments on logical systems based on the classical theory of studying Boolean networks. This includes but is not limited to the analysis of logical systems, design of logical control, applications of logical systems, and other related issues, such as computational complexity and mathematical foundation.

This paper investigates the robust stability and stabilization of networked evolutionary games (NEGs) with time delays. First, a mathematical model is presented to describe the dynamics of NEG with time-varying delays and disturbances. Second, an auxiliary system is constructed using the semi-tensor product of matrices and a dimension augmenting technique. Then, a verification condition of robust stability is derived. Third, in order to stabilize NEG to the Nash equilibrium, the robust stability problem is transformed into the robust stabilization problem. Moreover, an algorithm is proposed to design the stabilization controller. Finally, the validity of the results is verified by an example. Full article

Throughout the history of modern finance, very few financial instruments have been as strikingly volatile as cryptocurrencies. The long-term prospects of cryptocurrencies remain uncertain; however, taking advantage of recent advances in neural networks and volatility, we show that the trading algorithms reinforced by short-term price predictions are bankable. Traditional trading algorithms and indicators are often based on mean reversal strategies that do not advantage price predictions. Furthermore, deterministic models cannot capture market volatility even after incorporating price predictions. Thus motivated by these issues, we integrate randomness in the price prediction models to simulate stochastic behavior. This paper proposes hybrid trading strategies that take advantage of the traditional mean reversal strategies alongside robust price predictions from stochastic neural networks. We trained stochastic neural networks to predict prices based on market data and social sentiment. The backtesting was conducted on three cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, for over 600 days from August 2017 to December 2019. We show that the proposed trading algorithms are better when compared to the traditional buy and hold strategy in terms of both stability and returns. Full article

Since the 1930s, topological counting on finite sets has been an interesting work so as to enumerate the number of corresponding order relations on the sets. Starting from the semi-tensor product (STP), we give the expression of the relationship between subsets of finite sets from the perspective of algebra. Firstly, using the STP of matrices, we present the algebraic representation of the subset and complement of finite sets and corresponding structure matrices. Then, we investigate respectively the relationship between the intersection and union and intersection and minus of structure matrices. Finally, we provide an algorithm to enumerate the numbers of topologies on a finite set based on the above theorems. Full article

Today, and especially with the growing interest in distributed renewable energy sources (DRESs), modern electric power systems are becoming more and more complex. In order to increase DRES penetration, grid side converter (GSC) control techniques require appropriate synchronization algorithms that are able to detect the grid voltage status as fast and accurately as possible. The drawbacks of the published synchronization phase-locked loop (PLL) techniques were structured mainly around the slow dynamic responses, the inaccuracy of extracting the fundamental components of the grid voltages when they contain a DC offset, and the worsening of the imbalance rejection ability facing significant frequency changing. This paper proposes a new synchronization PLL technique ensuring efficient and reliable integration of DRESs under normal, abnormal, and harmonically distorted grid conditions. The proposed PLL uses the mixed second- and third-order generalized integrator (MSTOGI) in the prefiltering stage through its adaptability to power quality and numerous grid conditions and its low sensitivity to input DC and inter-harmonics. Moreover, a modified quasi type-1 PLL (MQT1-PLL), which integrates two compensation blocks for phase and amplitude errors, respectively, has been used in the control loop. The discussion of sizing requirements and the effectiveness of the so-called MSTOGI-MQT1-PLL are tested under grid voltage imbalances and distortions and confirmed through simulation results compared to double second-order generalized integrator PLL (DSOGI-PLL), cascaded delayed signal cancellation PLL (CDSC-PLL), and multiple delayed-signal cancellation PLL (MDSC-PLL).

Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy production is important in reducing global energy crises since it is transportable, scalable, and highly customizable dependent on the needs of the industry or end-user. In addition, compared to other renewable resources, photovoltaic systems can produce electricity without moving parts and have a long lifespan. Nevertheless, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems provide intermittent output electricity with a nonlinear output voltage. Due to this intermittent availability, PV installations are facing significant challenges. As a result, in PV power systems, a Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT), a power extraction mechanism, is required to assure maximum power delivery at any given moment. The main objective of this work is to study the MPPT method of extracting the maximum power from photovoltaic modules under different solar irradiation and temperatures. Several MPPT methods have been developed for photovoltaic systems to achieve MPP, depending on weather conditions and applications, ranging from simple to more complex methods. Among these methods, five techniques have been presented and compared that are P&O perturbation and observation method, INC incremental conductance method, the ANN neural network method, the open circuit voltage based neural network method FVCO, and the neural network method at the base of FCC (short circuit current).

The traditional set stability of Boolean networks (BNs) refers to whether all the states can converge to a given state subset. Different from the existing results, the set stability investigated in this paper is whether all states in a given initial set can converge to a given destination set. This paper studies the set stability and set stabilization avoiding undesirable sets of BNs and Boolean control networks (BCNs), respectively. First, by virtue of the semi-tensor product (STP) of matrices, the dynamics of BNs avoiding a given undesirable set are established. Then, the set reachability and set stability of BNs from the initial set to destination set avoiding an undesirable set are investigated, respectively. Furthermore, the set stabilization of BCNs from the initial set to destination set avoiding a given undesirable set are investigated. Finally, a design method for finding the time optimal set stabilizer is proposed, and an example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the results. Full article
