Synchronisation of chaos and its applications

Dynamical networks are important models for the behaviour of complex systems, modelling physical, biological and societal systems, including the brain, food webs, epidemic disease in populations, power grids and many other. Such dynamical networks can exhibit behaviour in which deterministic chaos, exhibiting unpredictability and disorder, coexists with synchronisation, a classical paradigm of order. We survey the main theory behind complete, generalised and phase synchronisation phenomena in simple as well as complex networks and discuss applications to secure communications, parameter estimation and the anticipation of chaos.     

Tracking controlled chaos: Theoretical foundations and applications

Tracking controlled states over a large range of accessible parameters is a process which allows for the experimental continuation of unstable states in both chaotic and non-chaotic parameter regions of interest. In algorithmic form, tracking allows experimentalists to examine many of the unstable states responsible for much of the observed nonlinear dynamic phenomena. Here we present a theoretical foundation for tracking controlled states from both dynamical systems as well as control theoretic viewpoints. The theory is constructive and shows explicitly how to track a curve of unstable states as a parameter is changed. Applications of the theory to various forms of control currently used in dynamical system experiments are discussed. Examples from both numerical and physical experiments are given to illustrate the wide range of tracking applications. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.     

Impulsive control of stochastic systems with applications in chaos control, chaos synchronization, and neural networks

Real systems are often subject to both noise perturbations and impulsive effects. In this paper, we study the stability and stabilization of systems with both noise perturbations and impulsive effects. In other words, we generalize the impulsive control theory from the deterministic case to the stochastic case. The method is based on extending the comparison method to the stochastic case. The method presented in this paper is general and easy to apply. Theoretical results on both stability in the pth mean and stability with disturbance attenuation are derived. To show the effectiveness of the basic theory, we apply it to the impulsive control and synchronization of chaotic systems with noise perturbations, and to the stability of impulsive stochastic neural networks. Several numerical examples are also presented to verify the theoretical results.     

Photonic integrated device for chaos applications in communications

A novel photonic monolithic integrated device consisting of a distributed feedback laser, a passive resonator, and active elements that control the optical feedback properties has been designed, fabricated, and evaluated as a compact potential chaotic emitter in optical communications. Under diverse operating parameters, the device behaves in different modes providing stable solutions, periodic states, and broadband chaotic dynamics. Chaos data analysis is performed in order to quantify the complexity and chaoticity of the experimental reconstructed attractors by applying nonlinear noise filtering.     

Analytical treatment of fluctuation spectra at the symmetry breaking chaos transition

The phase transition of characteristic exponents describing the fluctuations of temporal coarse grained quantities is investigated for the symmetry breaking bifurcation. The discussion of the eigenvalues of the transfer operator clarifies the origin of the phase transition and leads to scaling relations in the vicinity of the bifurcation point.     

Analytical treatment for synchronizing chaos through unidirectional coupling and implementation of logic gates

The idea of synchronization can be explicitly demonstrated by both numerical and analytical means on a nonlinear electronic circuit. Also, we introduce a scheme to obtain various logic gate structures, using synchronization of chaotic systems. By a small change in the response parameter of unidirectionally coupled nonlinear systems, one is able to construct various logic behaviours by both numerical and analytical methods.     

The 0-1 test algorithm for chaos and its applications

To determine whether a given deterministic nonlinear dynamic system is chaotic or periodic,a novel test approach named zero-one (0-1) test has been proposed recently.In this approach,the regular and chaotic motions can be decided by calculating the parameter K approaching asymptotically to zero or one.In this study,we focus on the 0-1 test algorithm and illustrate the selection of parameters of this algorithm by numerical experiments.To validate the reliability and the universality of this algorithm,it is applied to typical nonlinear dynamic systems,including fractional-order dynamic system.

Time-delay feedback control in a delayed dynamical chaos system and its applications

The feedback control of a delayed dynamical system, which also includes various chaotic systems with time delays, is investigated. On the basis of stability analysis of a nonautonomous system with delays, some simple yet less conservative criteria are obtained for feedback control in a delayed dynamical system. Finally, the theoretical result is applied to a typical class of chaotic Lorenz system and Chua circuit with delays. Numerical simulations are also given to verify the theoretical results.     

Analytical derivation of a nonlinear FET-equivalent-circuit for MMIC applications

A new method for the derivation of a FET-equivalent-circuit is presented in this paper. The model which is valid at least in the frequency range of 45 MHz to 26.5 GHz allows a large-signal simulation of the FET. The elements of the equivalent-circuit are calculated analytically from the measured scattering parameters of the FET.     

Generalized chaos synchronization theorems for bidirectional differential equations and discrete systems with applications

Two constructive generalized chaos synchronization (GCS) theorems for bidirectional differential equations and discrete systems are introduced. Using the two theorems, one can construct new chaos systems to make the system variables be in GCS. Five examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

A neural network model as a globally coupled map and applications based on chaos

First, a neural network model as the globally coupled map (GCM) is proposed. The model is obtained by modification of a Hopfield network model that has a negative self-feedback connection. Second, information processed by this model is interpreted in terms of the variety of the maps acting on the network elements, and a new, dynamic information processing model is described. The search for information using vague keywords, and solution of the traveling salesman problem (TSP) are introduced as applications.

Dynamic characterization of beam type structures: Analytical, numerical and experimental applications

A general algorithm for the free vibration analysis of stepped and tapered beam type structures with multiple elastic supports is developed in this work. The analytical formulation is based on the Ritz method and on the use of orthogonal polynomials within the framework of the first order shear deformation beam theory. To verify the validity and convergence of the general algorithm several numerical examples are analyzed. A further example concerned with the determination of the dynamical properties of a bell tower is also presented and compared with the finite element method and experimental results.     

Numerical study of chaos based on a shell model

A shell model is introduced to study a turbulence driven by the thermal instability (Rayleigh-Benard convection). This model equation describes cascade and chaos in the strong turbulence with high Rayleigh number. The chaos is numerically studied based on this model. The characteristics of the turbulence are analyzed and compared with those of the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada (GOY) model. Quantities such as a mean value of total fluctuation energy, it's standard deviation, time averaged wave spectrum, probability distribution function, frequency spectrum, the maximum instantaneous Lyapunov exponent, distribution of instantaneous Lyapunov exponents, are evaluated. The dependences of these quantities on the error of numerical integration are also examined. There is not a clear correlation between the numerical accuracy and the accuracy of these quantities, since the interaction between a truncation error and an intrinsic nonlinearity of the system exists. A finding is that the maximum Lyapunov exponent is insensitive to a truncation error. (c) 1999 American Institute of Physics.

Analytical eigenspectra of alternant edge-weighted graphs of linear chains and cycles: some applications

Analytical eigenspectra for the graphs of linear chains and cycles with alternant edge weights has been derived with the use of two independent methods, namely, the characteristic polynomial and the graph squaring. In the former method the rotational symmetry and the trigonometric identity have been exploited. These methods along with the expressions of eigenspectra so obtained have been found to be very useful in expressing analytical eigensolutions of some important as well as novel benzenoids, for example, linear p-methylene poly(p-phenylene), cylindrical poly(p-phenylene), zigzag edge graphene, carbon nanotube and carbon nanotori. Some of these eigensolutions have been analysed in exploring some consequences thereof.
