Generalized analytical solutions for secure transmission of signals using a simple communication scheme with numerical and experimental confirmation

A novel explicit analytical solution is reported for the transmission and recovery of information signals using a simple communication scheme. Analytical solutions are obtained for the normalized state equations of coupled second-order chaotic transmitter and receiver systems embedding the information signal. The analytical solution of the difference system obtained from the state equations of the transmitter and receiver systems has been identified as a measure of the recovered information signal which is transmitted securely by chaotic masking. The analytical solutions are used to reveal the nature of synchronization and the enhancement of the amplitude of recovered information signal. The difference signal of the coupled state variables indicating the recovered information signal obtained through numerical simulations is presented to validate the analytical results. The electronic circuit experimental results are presented to confirm the analytical and numerical results of the communication scheme discussed.     

Synchronization on coupled dynamical networks

In this paper, partial synchronization (PaS) in networks of coupled chaotic oscillator systems and synchronization in sparsely coupled spatiotemporal systems are explored. For the PaS, we reveal that the existence of PaS patterns depends on the symmetry property of the network topology, while the emergence of the PaS pattern depends crucially on the stability of the corresponding solution. An analytical criterion in judging the stability of PaS state on a given network are proposed in terms of a comparison between the Lyapunov exponent spectrum of the PaS manifold and that of the transversal manifold. The competition and selections of the PaS patterns induced by the presence of multiple topological symmetries of the network are studied in terms of the criterion. The phase diagram in distinguishing the synchronous and the asynchronous states is given. The criterion in judging PaS is further applied to the study of synchronization of two sparsely coupled spatiotemporal chaotic systems. Different synchronization regimes are distinguished. The present study reveals the intrinsic collective bifurcation of coupled dynamical systems prior to the emergence of global synchronization.

Effect of metal oxide arrester on the chaotic oscillations in the voltage transformer with nonlinear core loss model using chaos theory

In this paper, controlling chaos when chaotic ferroresonant oscillations occur in a voltage transformer with nonlinear core loss model is performed. The effect of a parallel metal oxide surge arrester on the ferroresonance oscillations of voltage transformers is studied. The metal oxide arrester(MOA) is found to be effective in reducing ferroresonance chaotic oscillations. Also the multiple scales method is used to analyze the chaotic behavior and different types of fixed points in ferroresonance of voltage transformers considering core loss. This phenomenon has nonlinear chaotic dynamics and includes sub-harmonic, quasi-periodic, and also chaotic oscillations. In this paper, the chaotic behavior and various ferroresonant oscillation modes of the voltage transformer is studied. This phenomenon consists of different types of bifurcations such as period doubling bifurcation(PDB), saddle node bifurcation(SNB), Hopf bifurcation(HB), and chaos. The dynamic analysis of ferroresonant circuit is based on bifurcation theory. The bifurcation and phase plane diagrams are illustrated using a continuous method and linear and nonlinear models of core loss. To analyze ferroresonance phenomenon, the Lyapunov exponents are calculated via the multiple scales method to obtain Feigenbaum numbers. The bifurcation diagrams illustrate the variation of the control parameter. Therefore, the chaos is created and increased in the system.     

Computational Analysis of Ca2+ Oscillatory Bio-Signals: Two-Parameter Bifurcation Diagrams

Two types of bifurcation diagrams of cytosolic calcium nonlinear oscillatory systems are presented in rectangular areas determined by two slowly varying parameters. Verification of the periodic dynamics in the two-parameter areas requires solving the underlying model a few hundred thousand or a few million times, depending on the assumed resolution of the desired diagrams (color bifurcation figures). One type of diagram shows period-n oscillations, that is, periodic oscillations having n maximum values in one period. The second type of diagram shows frequency distributions in the rectangular areas. Each of those types of diagrams gives different information regarding the analyzed autonomous systems and they complement each other. In some parts of the considered rectangular areas, the analyzed systems may exhibit non-periodic steady-state solutions, i.e., constant (equilibrium points), oscillatory chaotic or unstable solutions. The identification process distinguishes the later types from the former one (periodic). Our bifurcation diagrams complement other possible two-parameter diagrams one may create for the same autonomous systems, for example, the diagrams of Lyapunov exponents, Ls diagrams for mixed-mode oscillations or the 0–1 test for chaos and sample entropy diagrams. Computing our two-parameter bifurcation diagrams in practice and determining the areas of periodicity is based on using an appropriate numerical solver of the underlying mathematical model (system of differential equations) with an adaptive (or constant) step-size of integration, using parallel computations. The case presented in this paper is illustrated by the diagrams for an autonomous dynamical model for cytosolic calcium oscillations, an interesting nonlinear model with three dynamical variables, sixteen parameters and various nonlinear terms of polynomial and rational types. The identified frequency of oscillations may increase or decrease a few hundred times within the assumed range of parameters, which is a rather unusual property. Such a dynamical model of cytosolic calcium oscillations, with mitochondria included, is an important model in which control of the basic functions of cells is achieved through the Ca2+ signal regulation.     

Chaos synchronization of a horizontal platform system

Chaos and chaos synchronization of the horizontal platform system are studied in this paper. Because of the non-linear terms of the systems, the systems exhibit both regular and chaotic motions. By applying various numerical results, such as phase portraits, Poincaré maps, time history and power spectrum analysis, the behaviors of the periodic and chaos synchronization are presented. The effects of the change of parameters in the system can be found in the bifurcation diagrams. Chaos synchronization of feedback methods in two coupled systems has been studied by Lyapunov exponent and coupling strength. Besides, phase effect of external excitations and the transient time in unidirectional synchronization also have been researched.     

Isochronous synchronization in mutually coupled chaotic circuits

This paper examines the robustness of isochronous synchronization in simple arrays of bidirectionally coupled systems. First, the achronal synchronization of two mutually chaotic circuits, which are coupled with delay, is analyzed. Next, a third chaotic circuit acting as a relay between the previous two circuits is introduced. We observe that, despite the delay in the coupling path, the outer dynamical systems show isochronous synchronization of their outputs, i.e., display the same dynamics at exactly the same moment. Finally, we give here the first experimental evidence that the central relaying system is not required to be of the same kind of its outer counterparts.     

Nonlinear dynamics of the membrane potential of a bursting pacemaker cell

This article presents the results of an exploration of one two-parameter space of the Chay model of a cell excitable membrane. There are two main regions: a peripheral one, where the system dynamics will relax to an equilibrium point, and a central one where the expected dynamics is oscillatory. In the second region, we observe a variety of self-sustained oscillations including periodic oscillation, as well as bursting dynamics of different types. These oscillatory dynamics can be observed as periodic oscillations with different periodicities, and in some cases, as chaotic dynamics. These results, when displayed in bifurcation diagrams, result in complex bifurcation structures, which have been suggested as relevant to understand biological cell signaling.     

Asymptotics of activity series at the divergence point

In this article, a simple autonomous transiently chaotic flow with cubic nonlinearities is proposed. This system represents some unusual features such as having a surface of equilibria. We shall describe some dynamical properties and behaviours of this system in terms of eigenvalue structures, bifurcation diagrams, time series, and phase portraits. Various behaviours of this system such as periodic and transiently chaotic dynamics can be shown by setting special parameters in proper values. Our system belongs to a newly introduced category of transiently chaotic systems: systems with hidden attractors. Transiently chaotic behaviour of our proposed system has been implemented and tested by the OrCAD-PSpise software. We have found a proper qualitative similarity between circuit and simulation results.     

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.

Chaotic spatial bifurcation by complex coupling

A spatial bifurcation (a transition from stationary to oscillatory regime) in a chain of unidirectionally coupled phase systems is studied. It is shown that complication of coupling terms can make this bifurcation spatially chaotic in contrast to the previously observed "regular" and "predictable" type. It is demonstrated that the found type of spatial bifurcation corresponds to a smooth (predictable) manifold in the parameter space, while its spatial location gets actually unpredictable being governed by regularities of chaotic behavior. We infer that complex collective dynamics may arise in networks with plain architecture and simple dynamics of individual elements if nontrivial coupling is realized.

Phase synchronization and its transition in two coupled bursting neurons: theoretical and numerical analysis

It is crucially important to study different synchronous regimes in coupled neurons because different regimes may correspond to different cognitive and pathological states. In this paper, phase synchronization and its transitions are discussed by means of theoretical and numerical analyses. In two coupled modified Morris--Lecar neurons with a gap junction, we show that the occurrence of phase synchronization can be investigated from the dynamics of phase equation, and the analytical synchronization condition is derived. By defining the phase of spike and burst, the transitions from burst synchronization to spike synchronization and then toward nearly complete synchronization can be identified by bifurcation diagrams, the mean frequency difference and time series of neurons. The simulation results suggest that the synchronization of bursting activity is a multi-time-scale phenomenon and the phase synchronization deduced by the phase equation is actually spike synchronization.     

Forming and implementing a hyperchaotic system with rich dynamics

A simple three-dimensional (3D) autonomous chaotic system is extended to four-dimensions so as to generate richer nonlinear dynamics. The new system not only inherits the dynamical characteristics of its parental 3D system but also exhibits many new and complex dynamics, including assembled 1-scroll, 2-scroll and 4-scroll attractors, as well as hyperchaotic attractors, by simply tuning a single system parameter. Lyapunov exponents and bifurcation diagrams are obtained via numerical simulations to further justify the existences of chaos and hyperchaos. Finally, an electronic circuit is constructed to implement the system, with experimental and simulation results presented and compared for demonstration and verification.     

Discrete Breathers in Lattices of Coupled Oscillators

Discrete breathers are generic solutions for the dynamics of nonlinearly coupled oscillators. We show that discrete breathers can be observed in low-dimensional and high-dimensional lattices by exploring the sinusoidally coupled pendulum. Loss of stability of the breather solution is studied. We also find the existence of discrete breather in lattices with parameter mismatches. Breather phase synchronization is exhibited for the coupled chaotic oscillators.     

Chaotic memristive circuit: equivalent circuit realization and dynamical analysis

In this paper, a practical equivalent circuit of an active flux-controlled memristor characterized by smooth piecewise-quadratic nonlinearity is designed and an experimental chaotic memristive circuit is implemented. The chaotic memristive circuit has an equilibrium set and its stability is dependent on the initial state of the memristor. The initial state-dependent and the circuit parameter-dependent dynamics of the chaotic memristive circuit are investigated via phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams and Lyapunov exponents. Both experimental and simulation results validate the proposed equivalent circuit realization of the active flux-controlled memristor.     

Synchronization of indirectly coupled Lorenz oscillators: An experimental study

The dynamics of indirectly coupled Lorenz circuits is investigated experimentally. The in-phase and anti-phase synchronization of indirectly coupled chaotic oscillators reported in Phys. Rev. E 81, 046216 (2010) is verified by physical experiments with electronic circuits. Two chaotic systems coupled through a common dynamic environment shows the verity of synchronization behaviours such as anti-phase synchronization, in-phase synchronization, identical synchronization, anti-synchronization, etc.     

Multiple period-doubling bifurcation route to chaos in periodically pulsed Murali-Lakshmanan-Chua circuit-controlling and synchronization of chaos

We consider a simple nonautonomous dissipative nonlinear electronic circuit consisting of Chua's diode as the only nonlinear element, which exhibit a typical period doubling bifurcation route to chaotic oscillations. In this paper, we show that the effect of additional periodic pulses in this Murali-Lakshmanan-Chua (MLC) circuit results in novel multiple-period-doubling bifurcation behavior, prior to the onset of chaos, by using both numerical and some experimental simulations. In the chaotic regime, this circuit exhibits a rich variety of dynamical behavior including enlarged periodic windows, attractor crises, distinctly modified bifurcation structures, and so on. For certain types of periodic pulses, this circuit also admits transcritical bifurcations preceding the onset of multiple-period-doubling bifurcations. We have characterized our numerical simulation results by using Lyapunov exponents, correlation dimension, and power spectrum, which are found to be in good agreement with the experimental observations. Further controlling and synchronization of chaos in this periodically pulsed MLC circuit have been achieved by using suitable methods. We have also shown that the chaotic attractor becomes more complicated and their corresponding return maps are no longer simple for large n-periodic pulses. The above study also indicates that one can generate any desired n-period-doubling bifurcation behavior by applying n-periodic pulses to a chaotic system.
