TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the most representative examples of hidden attractors, discuss their theoretical properties and experimental observations, and also describe numerical methods which allow identification of the hidden attractor.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a systematic computer search to find chaotic flows with quadratic nonlinearities that have the unusual feature of having a line equilibrium, which is called hidden attractor chaotic flow.
Abstract: Using a systematic computer search, nine simple chaotic flows with quadratic nonlinearities were found that have the unusual feature of having a line equilibrium. Such systems belong to a newly introduced category of chaotic systems with hidden attractors that are important and potentially problematic in engineering applications.

TL;DR: Using the Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion and a systematic computer search, 23 simple chaotic flows with quadratic nonlinearities were found that have the unusual feature of having a coexisting stable equilibrium point.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present several types of rare chaotic flows with hidden attractors, including those with no equilibrium, rare flows with a line of equilibrium points, and rare flow with a stable equilibrium.
Abstract: Hidden attractors represent a new interesting topic in the chaos literature. These attractors have a basin of attraction that does not intersect with small neighborhoods of any equilibrium points. Oscillations in dynamical systems can be easily localized numerically if initial conditions from its open neighborhood lead to a long-time oscillation. This paper reviews several types of new rare chaotic flows with hidden attractors. These flows are divided into to three main groups: rare flows with no equilibrium, rare flows with a line of equilibrium points, and rare flows with a stable equilibrium. In addition we describe a novel system containing hidden attractors.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research.
Abstract: I have developed "tennis elbow" from lugging this book around the past four weeks, but it is worth the pain, the effort, and the aspirin. It is also worth the (relatively speaking) bargain price. Including appendixes, this book contains 894 pages of text. The entire panorama of the neural sciences is surveyed and examined, and it is comprehensive in its scope, from genomes to social behaviors. The editors explicitly state that the book is designed as "an introductory text for students of biology, behavior, and medicine," but it is hard to imagine any audience, interested in any fragment of neuroscience at any level of sophistication, that would not enjoy this book. The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or

TL;DR: In this paper, two major figures in adaptive control provide a wealth of material for researchers, practitioners, and students to enhance their work through the information on many new theoretical developments, and can be used by mathematical control theory specialists to adapt their research to practical needs.
Abstract: This book, written by two major figures in adaptive control, provides a wealth of material for researchers, practitioners, and students. While some researchers in adaptive control may note the absence of a particular topic, the book‘s scope represents a high-gain instrument. It can be used by designers of control systems to enhance their work through the information on many new theoretical developments, and can be used by mathematical control theory specialists to adapt their research to practical needs. The book is strongly recommended to anyone interested in adaptive control.
