The Effect of a Non-Local Fractional Operator in an Asymmetrical Glucose-Insulin Regulatory System: Analysis, Synchronization and Electronic Implementation

Abstract

For studying biological conditions with higher precision, the memory characteristics defined by the fractional-order versions of living dynamical systems have been pointed out as a meaningful approach. Therefore, we analyze the dynamics of a glucose-insulin regulatory system by applying a non-local fractional operator in order to represent the memory of the underlying system, and whose state-variables define the population densities of insulin, glucose, and β-cells, respectively. We focus mainly on four parameters that are associated with different disorders (type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypoglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia) to determine their observation ranges as a relation to the fractional-order. Like many preceding works in biosystems, the resulting analysis showed chaotic behaviors related to the fractional-order and system parameters. Subsequently, we propose an active control scheme for forcing the chaotic regime (an illness) to follow a periodic oscillatory state, i.e., a disorder-free equilibrium. Finally, we also present the electronic realization of the fractional glucose-insulin regulatory model to prove the conceptual findings.

“…e digital implementations of chaotic systems have attracted increasing interest in the last few years [37,38]. ey provide certain advantages in comparison with analogbased systems, like accuracy and possible integration in embedded applications, especially in data encryption and secure communications, which exhibit various practical difficulties like the sensitivity of components to temperature, aging, etc.…”

Adaptive Dual Synchronization of Fractional-Order Chaotic System with Uncertain Parameters

“…Chaotic synchronization is one of the crucial branches of nonlinear science; its applications include secure communication [10], chemical and biological systems [11] and physical systems. At present, the synchronization problem of fractional-order chaotic systems has potential application prospects in secure communication, control processing, chemical reactions, biological systems, etc.…”

Multistability Route in a PWL Multi-scroll System through Fractional-Order Derivatives

“…With the recent increase of studies and experiments with fractional order systems, the possibilities of finding new behaviors and better descriptions of natural phenomena are a recurring theme in the literature [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, the use of this numerical tool has been neglected because it is used as a dynamical validation mechanism and the effects and physical implications associated with the use of fractional order derivatives are ignored.…”
