Chaos-fractals theories and applications play an important
role in nonlinear science research. The subject has been
widely investigated with significant progress and achieve-
ments especially in recent years. In addition, it has been
applied to many scientific disciplines, such as meteorology,
physics, engineering, economics, biology, and even philos-
ophy. This special issue on Chaos-Fractals Theories and
Applications publishes 19 papers, most of which are carefully
reviewed by experts and peers in the field.
Some research on chaos theory is addressed by 5 papers.
For example, T. Lu et al. study the retentivity of chaos under
topological conjugation, proving that chaotic properties are
all preserved under such a condition. However, an example
is given to show that Li-Yorke chaos is not preserved under
topological conjugation if the domain is extended to a general
metric space. J. Luo suggests a state-feedback control method
for fractional-order nonlinear systems subject to input satu-
ration. It is shown that linear state-feedback controller can be
used to control the fractional-order nonlinear systems.
There are 6 papers focusing on fractals research. For
instance, M. Romera et al. introduce a method to draw
complete external rays based on the escape lines and Bézier
curves. It solves the limitation in drawing an external ray
because it reaches a point from which the drawing tool cannot
continue to work. J. Lu et al. develop a fractal color image
watermarking method. S. Zhu et al. explore an efficient fractal
video codec for compressing multiviews. They make full use
of the characteristic of fractal video coding and the nature of
video particularly.
In addition, there are 8 papers which address chaos-
fractals applications. Just to introduce a few, T. Zhao et al.
report their recent works on free space ranging with chaotic
light. Using a laser diode with optical feedback as a chaotic
source, a prototype of chaotic lidar was developed, which
can achieve a range-independent resolution of 18 cm and
measurable distance of 130 m in distance. Y. Wu et al. report
their investigation on the time delay signature in chaotic
semiconductors, subject to delayed filtered optical feedback,
of which a Fabry-Pérot interferometer type of filter is placed
in the external cavity. Especially, a new memristor based
chaotic circuit is presented by Y. Li et al. It is generated by
replacing the nonlinear resistor in Chua’s circuit with a flux-
controlled memristor and a negative conductor. The dynam-
ical behaviors are verified by both computer simulations and
laboratory experiments.
By filing these papers together in a special issue, we wish
to provide better views for our readers and researchers about
the important areas of chaos-fractals research, regarding both
theory and applications.
