On parameter characteristics of chaotic synchronization in two nonlinear gyroscope systems

In this paper, the partial and full chaotic synchronizations of two nonlinear gyroscope systems with/without noise are investigated. From analytical conditions for synchronization and non-synchronization of two gyroscope systems, the parameter characteristic study is completed for a better understanding of the synchronization dynamics of two gyroscope dynamical systems. The boundaries of the parameter map for synchronization are determined by the onset and vanishing conditions of synchronization. The simple feedback control can make the noised gyroscope system synchronizing with chaotic behaviors of the expected gyroscope system. The methodology presented in this paper is different from other techniques for synchronization. The partial synchronization is an important phenomenon to be observed in engineering applications.     

Parameter-dependent synchronization of coupled neurons in cold receptor model

In this paper, synchronization in two coupled neurons with spiking, bursting and chaos firings is investigated as the coupling strength gets increased. Synchronization state can be identified by means of the bifurcation diagram, the correlation coefficient and ISI-distance. It is illustrated that the coupled neurons can exhibit different types of synchronization state when the coupling strength increases. The different synchronization processes appear similar, but their detailed processes are different depending on the parameter values. The synchronization of neuronal network with two different network connectivity patterns is also studied. It is shown that chaotic and high period pattern are more difficult to get complete synchronization than the situation in single spike and low period pattern. It is also demonstrated that the synchronization status of multiple neurons is dependent on the network connectivity patterns. These results may be instructive to understand synchronization in neuronal systems.     

Crack synchronization of chaotic circuits under field coupling

Nonlinear electric devices are important and essential for setting circuits so that chaotic outputs or periodical series can be generated. Chaotic circuits can be mapped into dimensionless dynamical systems by using scale transformation, and thus, synchronization control can be further investigated in numerical way. In case of synchronization approach, resistor is often used to bridge two chaotic circuits and gap junction connection is used to realize possible synchronization. In fact, complex electromagnetic effect in circuits should be considered when the capacitor and inductor (inductance coil) are attacked by high-frequency signals or noise-like disturbance. In this paper, two chaotic circuits are connected by using voltage coupling (via resistor) and triggering mutual induction electromotive force, which time-varying magnetic field is generated in the inductance coils. Therefore, magnetic field coupling is realized between two isolate inductance coils and induction electromotive force is generated to adjust the oscillation in circuits. It is found that field coupling can modulate the synchronization behaviors of chaotic circuits. In case of periodical oscillating state, the synchronization between two periodical circuits under voltage coupling is destroyed when field coupling is considered. Furthermore, the synchronization between chaotic circuits becomes more difficult when field coupling is triggered. Open problems for this topic are proposed for further investigation.     

Composite synchronization of four exciters driven by induction motors in a vibration system

In this paper, a newly composite synchronization scheme is proposed to ensure the straight line vibration form of a linear vibration system driven by four exciters. Composite synchronization is a combination of self-synchronization and controlled synchronization. Firstly, controlled synchronization of two pairs of homodromous coupling exciters with zero phase differences is implemented by using the master–slave control structure and the adaptive sliding mode control algorithm. On basis of controlled synchronization, self-synchronization of two coupling exciters rotating in the opposite directions is studied. Based on the perturbation method, the synchronization and stability conditions of composite synchronization are obtained. The theoretical results indicate that composite synchronization of four exciters with zero phase differences can be implemented with different supply frequencies and the straight line vibration form of the linear vibration system also can be obtained. Some simulations are conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed composite synchronization scheme. The effects of some structural parameters on composite synchronization of four exciters are discussed. Finally, some experiments are operated to validate the effectiveness of the proposed composite synchronization scheme.

     

The alternating between complete synchronization and hybrid synchronization of hyperchaotic Lorenz system with time delay

The various cases of synchronization in two identical hyperchaotic Lorenz systems with time delay are studied. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the sufficient conditions for achieving synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic Lorenz systems with time delay are derived, and a simple scheme only with a single linear controller is proposed. When the parameters in the response system are known, the alternating between complete synchronization and hybrid synchronization (namely, coexistence of antiphase and complete synchronization) is observed with the control feedback gain varying. Furthermore, when the parameters in the response system are unknown, for the same feedback controller, the complete synchronization and the hybrid synchronization can be obtained, respectively, as the associated parameters updated laws of the unknown parameters are chosen. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.     

Projective synchronization between two different time-delayed chaotic systems using active control approach

In this paper, we investigate the projective synchronization between two different time-delayed chaotic systems. A suitable controller is chosen using the active control approach. We relax some limitations of previous work, where projective synchronization of different chaotic systems can be achieved only in finite dimensional chaotic systems, so we can achieve projective synchronization of different chaotic systems in infinite dimensional chaotic systems. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, we suggest a generic method to achieve the projective synchronization between two different time-delayed chaotic systems. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated and verified by observing the projective synchronization between two well-known time-delayed chaotic systems; the Ikeda system and Mackey–Glass system. Numerical simulations fully support the analytical approach.     

Synchronization of nonidentical chaotic fractional-order systems with different orders of fractional derivatives

This paper addresses the problem of synchronization of chaotic fractional-order systems with different orders of fractional derivatives. Based on the stability theory of fractional-order linear systems and the idea of tracking control, suitable controllers are correspondingly proposed for two cases: the first is synchronization between two identical chaotic fractional-order systems with different fractional orders, and the other is synchronization between two nonidentical fractional-order chaotic systems with different fractional orders. Three numerical examples illustrate that fast synchronization can be achieved even between a chaotic fractional-order system and a hyperchaotic fractional-order system.     

Hybrid phase synchronization between identical and nonidentical three-dimensional chaotic systems using the active control method

In this article, the active control method is used to investigate the hybrid phase synchronization between two identical Rikitake and Windmi systems, and also between two nonidentical systems taking Rikitake as the driving system and Windmi system as the response system. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the sufficient conditions for achieving the hybrid phase synchronization of two chaotic systems are derived. The active control method is found to be very effective and convenient to achieve hybrid phase chaos synchronization of the identical and nonidentical chaotic systems. Numerical simulation results which are carried out using the Runge–Kutta method show its feasibility and effectiveness for the synchronization of dynamical chaotic systems.     

Parameter identification and adaptive impulsive synchronization of uncertain complex-variable chaotic systems

Synchronization of nonlinear dynamical systems with complex variables has attracted much more attention in various fields of science and engineering. In this paper, the problem of parameter identification and adaptive impulsive synchronization for a class of chaotic (hyperchaotic) complex nonlinear systems with uncertain parameters is investigated. Based on the theories of adaptive control and impulsive control, a synchronization scheme is designed to make a class of chaotic and hyperchaotic complex systems asymptotically synchronized, and uncertain parameters are identified simultaneously in the process of synchronization. Particularly, the proposed adaptive–impulsive control laws for synchronization are simple and can be readily applied in practical applications. The synchronization of two identical chaotic complex Chen systems and two identical hyperchaotic complex Lü systems are taken as two examples to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed controllers and identifiers.     

Synchronization of two different chaotic systems with discontinuous coupling

This paper is concerned with the problem of synchronization between two different chaotic systems with discontinuous coupling. Based on the stability theory and the comparison theorem of differential equations, we derive less restrictive synchronization conditions than those resulting from the Lyapunov theory. The theoretical results show that generalized synchronization between two different chaotic systems can be achieved if the time-average coupling strength is large enough. Finally, the corresponding numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed schemes.     

Phase synchronization between nonlinearly coupled R(o)ssler systems

Phase synchronization between nonlinearly coupled systems With 1:1 and 1:2 resonances is investigated.BY introducing a concept of phase for a chaotic motion.it is demonstrated that for difierent internal resonances,with relatively small parameter epsilon,the difierence between the mean frequencies of the two sub-oscillators approaches zero.This implies that phase synchronization can be achieved for weak interaction between the two oscillators.With the increase in coupling strength,fluctuations of the frequency difference can be observed,and for the primary resonance,the amplitudes of the fluctuations of the difference seem much smaller compared to the case with frequency ratio 1:2.even with the weak coupling strength.Unlike the enhanced effect on synchronization for linear coupling,the increase in nonlinear coupling strength results in the transition from phase synchronization to a non-synchronized state.Further investigation reveals that the states from phase synchronization to non-synchronization are related to the critical changes of the Lyapunov exponents,which carl also be explained with the diffuse clouds.     

Broadband chaos synchronization and communication based on mutually coupled VCSELs subject to a bandwidth-enhanced chaotic signal injection

Based on two mutually coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (MC-VCSELs) subject to a bandwidth-enhanced chaotic signal injection, a bidirectional dual-channel broadband chaos communication system is proposed and investigated numerically. The results show that, adopting a bandwidth-enhanced chaotic signal (about 33 GHz) from a driving VCSEL (D-VCSEL) to drive two MC-VCSELs, high-quality isochronal chaos synchronization with over 30 GHz bandwidth between two corresponding LP modes in the two MC-VCSELs can be obtained under proper driving injection, and this synchronization has high tolerance to mismatched intrinsic parameters and frequency detuning. Moreover, based on the broadband chaos synchronization of two corresponding LP modes, the bidirectional dual-channel high-speed chaos communication can be realized and the communication performances have also been preliminarily examined under chaos masking (CMS) encryption scheme.     

Phase synchronization between nonlinearly coupled Rössler systems

Phase synchronization between nonlinearly coupled systems with 1：1 and 1：2 resonances is investigated. By introducing a concept of phase for a chaotic motion, it is demonstrated that for different internal resonances, with relatively small parameter epsilon, the difference between the mean frequencies of the two sub-oscillators approaches zero. This implies that phase synchronization can be achieved for weak interaction between the two oscillators. With the increase in coupling strength, fluctuations of the frequency difference can be observed, and for the primary resonance, the amplitudes of the fluctuations of the difference seem much smaller compared to the case with frequency ratio 1：2, even with the weak coupling strength. Unlike the enhanced effect on synchronization for linear coupling, the increase in nonlinear coupling strength results in the transition from phase synchronization to a non-synchronized state. Further investigation reveals that the states from phase synchronization to non-synchronization are related to the critical changes of the Lyapunov exponents, which can also be explained with the diffuse clouds.     

Synchronization and coupling of Mandelbrot sets

The definitions of synchronization and coupling of two different Mandelbrot sets are introduced. By the nonlinear coupling method, the synchronization and coupling of two different Mandelbrot sets are achieved, which make one Mandelbrot set change to be another and also make two different Mandelbrot sets change to be the same one.     

Combination–combination synchronization among four identical or different chaotic systems

Based on one drive system and one response system synchronization model, a new type of combination–combination synchronization is proposed for four identical or different chaotic systems. According to the Lyapunov stability theorem and adaptive control, numerical simulations for four identical or different chaotic systems with different initial conditions are discussed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Synchronization about combination of two drive systems and combination of two response systems is the main contribution of this paper, which can be extended to three or more chaotic systems. A universal combination of drive systems and response systems model and a universal adaptive controller may be designed to our intelligent application by our synchronization design.     

Adaptive bidirectionally coupled synchronization of?chaotic?systems with unknown parameters

This paper investigates the chaos synchronization of two bidirectionally coupled chaotic systems. In comparison with previous methods (identical bidirectionally coupled synchronization), the present control scheme is different bidirectionally coupled synchronization, which includes different complete bidirectionally coupled synchronization and different partial bidirectionally coupled synchronization. Based on the Lasalle invariance principle, adaptive schemes are designed to make two different bidirectionally coupled chaotic systems asymptotically synchronized, and unknown parameters are identified simultaneously in the process of synchronization. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are shown to verify the results.     

Complete synchronization of delay hyperchaotic Lü system via a single linear input

This work is devoted to investigating the complete synchronization of two identical delay hyperchaotic Lü systems with different initial conditions, and a simple complete synchronization scheme only with a single linear input is proposed. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions of synchronization are obtained for both linear feedback and adaptive control approaches. The problem of adaptive synchronization between two nearly identical delay hyperchaotic Lü systems with unknown parameters is also studied. A?single input adaptive synchronization controller is proposed, and the adaptive parameter update laws are developed. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.     

Cluster oscillatory synchronization of networked Lagrangian systems with the distributed adaptive observers

This paper investigates cluster synchronization problem for uncertain networked Lagrangian systems with nonidentical oscillatory leaders. Firstly, in the case of positive couplings and in the case of positive and negative couplings, we propose two different distributed adaptive observers. Based on these adaptive observers, two adaptive controllers are developed. Then, some cluster synchronization criteria are given to ensure that the desired cluster synchronization scheme can be arrived. Due to introduction of these two adaptive observers, it is no longer necessary for each follower to obtain the frequency information of the corresponding leader system. Finally, the performance and effective of the provided controllers are verified by some numerical examples.     

Full- and reduced-order synchronization of a class of time-varying systems containing uncertainties

Investigation on chaos synchronization of autonomous dynamical systems has been largely reported in the literature. However, synchronization of time-varying, or nonautonomous, uncertain dynamical systems has received less attention. The present contribution addresses full- and reduced-order synchronization of a class of nonlinear time-varying chaotic systems containing uncertain parameters. A unified framework is established for both the full-order synchronization between two completely identical time-varying uncertain systems and the reduced-order synchronization between two strictly different time-varying uncertain systems. The synchronization is successfully achieved by adjusting the determined algorithms for the estimates of unknown parameters and the linear feedback gain, which is rigorously proved by means of the Lyapunov stability theorem for nonautonomous differential equations together with Barbalat’s lemma. Moreover, the synchronization result is robust against the disturbance of noise. We illustrate the applicability for full-order synchronization using two identical parametrically driven pendulum oscillators and for reduced-order synchronization using the parametrically driven second-order pendulum oscillator and an additionally driven third-order Rossler oscillator.     

Complex network analysis of forced synchronization in a hydrodynamically self-excited jet

Previous experiments by Li and Juniper (2013) have shown that a hydrodynamically self-excited jet can synchronize with external acoustic forcing via one of two possible routes: a saddle-node (SN) bifurcation or a torus-death (TD) bifurcation. In this study, we use complex networks to analyze and forecast these two routes to synchronization in a prototypical self-excited flow – an axisymmetric low-density jet at an operating condition close to its first Hopf point. We build the complex networks using two different methods: the visibility algorithm and the recurrence condition. We find that the networks built with the visibility algorithm are high-clustering, hierarchical, and assortative in the degree of their vertices, although only the TD networks are scale free. Nevertheless, we find that the assortativity coefficient is a sufficiently sensitive indicator by which to distinguish between the SN and TD routes to synchronization and to forecast the onset of synchronization. As for the networks built with the recurrence condition, we find that their topological features differ between the two routes to synchronization, but vary predictably along either route. We quantify these variations using statistical measures such as the mean degree, spectral radius, and transitivity dimension. This study shows that complex networks can be a useful tool for distinguishing between the SN and TD routes to synchronization, and for forecasting the proximity of a system to its synchronization boundaries. These findings could open up new opportunities for complex networks to be used in the development of open-loop control strategies for hydrodynamically self-excited flows.
