Phase synchronization in coupled nonidentical excitable systems and array-enhanced coherence resonance

We study the dynamics of a lattice of coupled nonidentical Fitz Hugh-Nagumo system subject to independent external noise. It is shown that these stochastic oscillators can lead to global synchronization behavior without an external signal. With the increase of the noise intensity, the system exhibits coherence resonance behavior. Coupling can enhance greatly the noise-induced coherence in the system.     

Noise-induced switching in two adaptively coupled excitable systems

We demonstrate that the interplay of noise and plasticity gives rise to slow stochastic fluctuations in a system of two adaptively coupled active rotators with excitable local dynamics. Depending on the adaptation rate, two qualitatively different types of switching behavior are observed. For slower adaptation, one finds alternation between two modes of noise-induced oscillations, whereby the modes are distinguished by the different order of spiking between the units. In case of faster adaptation, the system switches between the metastable states derived from coexisting attractors of the corresponding deterministic system, whereby the phases exhibit a bursting-like behavior. The qualitative features of the switching dynamics are analyzed within the framework of fast-slow analysis.     

Local analytic first integrals of planar analytic differential systems

We study the existence of local analytic first integrals of a class of analytic differential systems in the plane, obtained from the Chua?s system studied in L.O. Chua (1992, 1995), N.V. Kuznetsov et al. (2011), G.A. Leonov et al. (2012) , ,  and . The method used can be applied to other analytic differential systems.     

Random shortcuts induce phase synchronization in complex Chua systems

This paper studies how phase synchronization in complex networks depends on random shortcuts, using the piecewise-continuous chaotic Chua system as the nodes of the networks. It is found that for a given coupling strength, when the number of random shortcuts is greater than a threshold the phase synchronization is induced. Phase synchronization becomes evident and reaches its maximum as the number of random shortcuts is further increased. These phenomena imply that random shortcuts can induce and enhance the phase synchronization in complex Chua systems. Furthermore, the paper also investigates the effects of the coupling strength and it is found that stronger coupling makes it easier to obtain the complete phase synchronization.     

Nonequilibrium noise-induced phase transitions in simple systems

The theory and the results of an investigation of nonequilibrium noise-induced phase transitions in the simple example of a physical pendulum with a randomly oscillating pivot are presented. It is shown that such transitions lead to the appearance of a more ordered state of the system. The possibility of a difference between noise-induced oscillations and chaotic oscillations of dynamic origin is discussed. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 111, 358–378 (January 1997)     

Polarization modulated coherent optical communication systems

Abstract

Polarization modulated coherent optical communication systems are interesting for low-phase noise-induced penalty and insensitivity to the fluctuations of the field state of polarization if a suitable tracking is adopted. In this paper, sever kinds of binary and multilevel polarization modulated systems are presented based c Stokes parameters detection. Quantum limit performance is determined and phase noise-induced penalty is evaluated both in the presence of a sample and hold decision device and in case of postdetection filtering.

Impulsive synchronization of chaotic systems

The issue of impulsive synchronization of a class of chaotic systems is investigated. Based on the impulsive theory and linear matrix inequality technique, some less conservative and easily verified criteria for impulsive synchronization of chaotic systems are derived. The proposed method is applied to the original Chua oscillators, and the corresponding synchronization conditions are obtained. Moreover, the boundary of the stable region is also estimated in terms of the equidistant impulse interval. The effectiveness of our method is shown by computer simulation.     

A chaotic map with a flat segment can produce a noise-induced order

Matsumoto and Tsuda studied the effects of noise on chaos in a one-dimensional Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) map and found noise-induced order, that is, an external noise destroys a chaotic behavior and produces some kind of order (periodicities). This phenomenon is very interesting in understanding the relation between chaos and natural phenomena. The present paper proposes a unimodal piecewise linear map which has a flat segment. It is shown numerically that the noise-induced order can be observed in this simple map in the same way as the BZ map. These numerical results clarify the mechanism of noise-induced order.     

Self-induced stochastic resonance in excitable systems

The effect of small-amplitude noise on excitable systems with strong time-scale separation is analyzed. It is found that vanishingly small random perturbations of the fast excitatory variable may result in the onset of a deterministic limit cycle behavior, absent without noise. The mechanism, termed self-induced stochastic resonance, combines a stochastic resonance-type phenomenon with an intrinsic mechanism of reset, and no periodic drive of the system is required. Self-induced stochastic resonance is different from other types of noise-induced coherent behaviors in that it arises away from bifurcation thresholds, in a parameter regime where the zero-noise (deterministic) dynamics does not display a limit cycle nor even its precursor. The period of the limit cycle created by the noise has a non-trivial dependence on the noise amplitude and the time-scale ratio between fast excitatory variables and slow recovery variables. It is argued that self-induced stochastic resonance may offer one possible scenario of how noise can robustly control the function of biological systems.     

Anticipating synchronization of chaotic Lur'e systems

In this paper we consider the anticipating synchronization of chaotic time-delayed Lur'e-type systems in a master-slave setting. We introduce three scenarios for anticipating synchronization, and give sufficient conditions for the existence of anticipating synchronizing slave systems in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The results obtained are illustrated on a time-delayed Rossler system and a time-delayed Chua oscillator.     

Noise-induced synchronization of spatiotemporal chaos in the Ginzburg-Landau equation

We have studied noise-induced synchronization in a distributed autooscillatory system described by the Ginzburg-Landau equations, which occur in a regime of chaotic spatiotemporal oscillations. A new regime of synchronous behavior, called incomplete noise-induced synchronization (INIS), is revealed, which can arise only in spatially distributed systems. The mechanism leading to the development of INIS in a distributed medium under the action of a distributed source of noise is analytically described. Good coincidence of analytical and numerical results is demonstrated.     

Systems with Hysteresis in an Extremely Slowly Fluctuating Environment

Systems exhibiting hysteresis are considered in an extremely slowly fluctuating environment. The parameter causing the hysteresis is assumed to be a Markovian diffusion process elapsing much more slowly than the internal dynamics. The infinitesimal generator for the resulting Markov process including the hysteresis jumps is derived and explicit expressions for the probability densities are given. A numerical example shows the change from monomodal to bimodal behaviour of the stationary distribution if the variance of the external noise increases representing a new kind of noise-induced transition.     

Adaptive synchronization of memristor-based Chuaʼs circuits

In this Letter, a memristor-based Chua?s system is presented, and the chaotic behavior of this system is demonstrated by phase portraits. This Letter also deals with the problem of adaptive synchronization control of this chaotic system using the drive–response concept, and presents an adaptive control scheme for the synchronization of memristor-based Chua?s circuit, when the parameters of the drive system are fully unknown and different with those of the response system. The sufficient condition for the adaptive synchronization has been analyzed. Moreover, the controller design method is further extended to more general cases, where the physical plant contains parameter uncertainties, represented in either polytopic or structured frameworks. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate these results.     

Stabilizing stochastically-forced oscillation generators with hard excitement: a confidence-domain control approach

In this paper, noise-induced destruction of self-sustained oscillations is studied for astochastically-forced generator with hard excitement. The problem is to design a feedbackregulator that can stabilize a limit cycle of the closed-loop system and to provide arequired dispersion of the generated oscillations. The approach is based on the stochasticsensitivity function (SSF) technique and confidence domain method. A theory about thesynthesis of assigned SSF is developed. For the case when this control problem isill-posed, a regularization method is constructed. The effectiveness of the new method ofconfidence domain is demonstrated by stabilizing auto-oscillations in a randomly-forcedgenerator with hard excitement.     

Stochastic sensitivity analysis of noise-induced intermittency and transition to chaos in one-dimensional discrete-time systems

We study a phenomenon of noise-induced intermittency for the stochastically forced one-dimensional discrete-time system near tangent bifurcation. In a subcritical zone, where the deterministic system has a single stable equilibrium, even small noises generate large-amplitude chaotic oscillations and intermittency. We show that this phenomenon can be explained by a high stochastic sensitivity of this equilibrium. For the analysis of this system, we suggest a constructive method based on stochastic sensitivity functions and confidence intervals technique. An explicit formula for the value of the noise intensity threshold corresponding to the onset of noise-induced intermittency is found. On the basis of our approach, a parametrical diagram of different stochastic regimes of intermittency and asymptotics are given.     

Experimental observation of direct current voltage-induced phase synchronization

The dynamics of two uncoupled distinct Chua circuits driven by a common direct current voltage is explored experimentally. It was found that, with increasing current intensity, the dominant frequencies of these two Chua circuits will first vary at different speeds, approach an identical value for a certain current intensity and then separate. Techniques such as synchronization index and phase difference distribution were employed to analyze the phase coherence between these two Chua circuits.

Activated escape of periodically modulated systems

The rate of noise-induced escape from a metastable state of a periodically modulated overdamped system is found for an arbitrary modulation amplitude A. The instantaneous escape rate displays peaks that vary with the modulation from Gaussian to strongly asymmetric. The prefactor nu in the period-averaged escape rate depends on A nonmonotonically. Near the bifurcation amplitude A(c) it scales as nu proportional, variant(A(c) - A)(zeta). We identify three scaling regimes, with zeta = 1/4, -1, and 1/2.     

Stabilization by dissipation and stochastic resonant activation in quantum metastable systems

In this tutorial paper we present a comprehensive review of the escape dynamics from quantum metastable states in dissipative systems and related noise-induced effects. We analyze the role of dissipation and driving in the escape process from quantum metastable states with and without an external driving force, starting from a nonequilibrium initial condition. We use the Caldeira–Leggett model and a non-perturbative theoretical technique within the Feynman–Vernon influence functional approach in strong dissipation regime. In the absence of driving, we find that the escape time from the metastable region has a nonmonotonic behavior versus the system-bath coupling and the temperature, producing a stabilizing effect in the quantum metastable system. In the presence of an external driving, the escape time from the metastable region has a nonmonotonic behavior as a function of the frequency of the driving, the thermal-bath coupling and the temperature. The quantum noise enhanced stability phenomenon is observed in both systems investigated. Finally, we analyze the resonantly activated escape from a quantum metastable state in the spin-boson model. We find quantum stochastic resonant activation, that is the presence of a minimum in the escape time as a function of the driving frequency. Background and introductory material has been added in the first three sections of the paper to make this tutorial review reasonably self-contained and readable for graduate students and non-specialists from related areas.
