Complex dynamics of a Holling type II prey–predator system with state feedback control
TL;DR: In this article, the complex dynamics of a Holling type II prey-predator system with impulsive state feedback control were studied in both theoretical and numerical ways, and sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of semi-trivial and positive periodic solutions were obtained by using the Poincare map and the analogue of the poincare criterion.

Chaos in Oil Prices? Evidence from Futures Markets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors test for the presence of low-dimensional chaotic structure in crude oil, heating oil, and unleaded gasoline futures prices from the early 1980s and find strong evidence of non-linear dependencies, but the evidence is not consistent with chaos.

On the Stability of the Passive Dynamics of Quadrupedal Running with a Bounding Gait
TL;DR: Surprisingly, numerical return map studies reveal that passive generation of a large variety of cyclic bounding motion is possible and local stability analysis shows that the dynamics of the open loop passive system alone can confer stability to the motion.

Capital market imperfections in a monetary growth model
John H. Boyd,Bruce D. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a monetary growth model with credit markets, a credit market friction, and an allocative function for financial intermediaries, and show that the model can be indeterminate and nonconvergence phenomena can be observed.

Dynamics and stability of legged locomotion in the horizontal plane: a test case using insects
TL;DR: A three-degree-of freedom, energetically conservative, rigid-body model with a pair of compliant virtual legs in intermittent contact with the ground allows us to study how dynamics depends on parameters such as mass, moment of inertia, leg stiffness, and length.
