In this paper, we prove numerically and computationally that the attractors synthesis algorithm introduced in [1] for a class of dynamical systems can be applied for a class of networks too. While the underlying initial value problem is numerically integrated, if the control parameter is switched within a considered set of values, the obtained attractor will belong to the class of all attractors of the considered network. Moreover, this synthesized

The aim of this paper is to prove numerically, via computer graphic simulations, that the synthesis algorithm provided by Danca et al. in [M.-F. Danca, W. K. S. Tang, G. Chen, A switching scheme for synthesizing attractors of dissipative chaotic systems, Appl. Math. Comput. 201 (2008) 650-667] can be utilized to synthesize any attractor of a dynamical system modeling a two-predator, one prey Lotka-Volterra like system. The algorithm switches in a

Dear Colleagues, Do you know of graduate students interested in Mathematics and Climate Change?

More information and application instructions can be found at http:// www.image.ucar.edu/Workshops/TOY2010/focus03/. The deadline for applications is

In this paper we provide numerical evidence, via graphics generated with the help of computer simulations, that switching the control parameter of a dynamical system belonging to a class of fractional-order systems in a deterministic way, one obtains an attractor which belongs to the class of all admissible attractors of the considered system. For this purpose, while a multistep numerical method for fractional-order differential equations approximates

Integrity Under Attack: The State of Scholarly Publishing By Douglas N. Arnold (SIAM News) Scientific journals are surely important. They provide the most effective means for disseminating and archiving scientific results, and so are a key part of an enterprise on which our health, security, and prosperity ultimately depend. Publications are used by universities, funding agencies, and others as a primary measure of research productivity and impact.

Dear Colleague: Because of your considerable expertise in the field, we would like to cordially invite you to participate in the symposium on Dynamical Data Analysis of Multiscale Systems to be held at The 16th US National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNCTAM) at Penn State University, June 27 - July 2, 2010. This symposium will examine new developments in time series analysis that allow researchers to experimentally characterize

Dear Colleagues, The 2010 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC 2010 in Chicago) is very pleased to organize a Doctoral Consortium for Ph.D. students from all over the world. We would appreciate it very much if you could forward the following message to Ph.D. students in your institution. Sincerely, Houshang Darabi Program Chair 2010 IEEE ICNSC and Haibo He Doctoral Consortium Chair 2010 IEEE ICNSC -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this paper the chaos persistence in a class of discontinuous dynamical systems of fractional-order is analyzed. To that end, the Initial Value Problem is first transformed, by using the Filippov regularization [1], into a set-valued problem of fractional-order, then by Cellina's approximate selection theorem [2,3], the problem is approximated into a single-valued fractional-order roblem, which is numerically solved by using a numerical scheme
