Function projective synchronization of two-cell quantum-CNN chaotic oscillators by nonlinear adaptive controller

In this Letter, we investigate function projective synchronization of two-cell quantum-CNN chaotic oscillators using nonlinear adaptive controller. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the nonlinear adaptive control law is derived to make the state of two chaotic systems function projective synchronized. Two numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear adaptive control scheme, which is more effective than that in previous literature.     

Synchronization and Pattern Dynamics of Coupled Chaotic Maps on Complex Networks

The synchronization and pattern dynamics of coupled logistic maps on a certain type of complex network, constructed by adding random shortcuts to a regular ring, is investigated. For parameters where an isolated map is fully chaotic, the defect turbulence, which is dominant in the regular network, can be tamed into ordered periodic patterns or synchronized chaotic states when random shortcuts are added, and the patterns formed on the complex network can be grouped into two or three branches depending on the coupling strength.     

Function projective synchronization of different chaotic systems with uncertain parameters

This Letter investigates the function projective synchronization of different chaotic systems with unknown parameters. By Lyapunov stability theory, the adaptive control law and the parameter update law are derived to make the states of two different chaotic systems asymptotically synchronized up to a desired scaling function. Numerical simulations on Lorenz system and Newton-Leipnik system are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Synchronization and control of chaos in coupled chaotic multimode Nd:YAG lasers

In this Letter we numerically investigate the dynamics of a system of two coupled chaotic multimode Nd:YAG lasers with two mode and three mode outputs. Unidirectional and bidirectional coupling schemes are adopted; intensity time series plots, phase space plots and synchronization plots are used for studying the dynamics. Quality of synchronization is measured using correlation index plots. It is found that for laser with two mode output bidirectional direct coupling scheme is found to be effective in achieving complete synchronization, control of chaos and amplification in output intensity. For laser with three mode output, bidirectional difference coupling scheme gives much better chaotic synchronization as compared to unidirectional difference coupling but at the cost of higher coupling strength. We also conclude that the coupling scheme and system properties play an important role in determining the type of synchronization exhibited by the system.     

Projective synchronization of a class of delayed chaotic systems via impulsive control

The Letter studies the projective synchronization of a class of delayed chaotic systems. The drive-response system can be synchronized to within a desired scaling factor via impulsive control. Some sufficient conditions are derived by the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equations. An illustrative example is provided to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method and results.     

An Approach to Analyse Phase Synchronization in Oscillator Networks with Weak Coupling

We study phase synchronization in oscillator networks through phase reduced method. The dynamics of networks is reduced to phase equations by this method. Analysing the phase equations through the master stability function method, one obtains that the oscillators with identical frequency can be in-phase synchronized by weak balanced coupling. Similarly, the problem of frequency synchronization of oscillators with different frequencies is transformed to the existence of a locally asymptotically stable equilibrium of the phase error system.     

Projective cluster synchronization in drive-response dynamical networks

In this paper, we study the projective cluster synchronization in a drive-response dynamical network with 1+N coupled partially linear chaotic systems. Because the scaling factors characterizing the dynamics of projective synchronization remain unpredictable, pinning control ideas are adopted to direct the different scaling factors onto the desired values. It is also shown that the projection cluster synchronization can be realized by controlling only one node in each cluster. Numerical simulations on the chaotic Lorenz system are illustrated to verify the theoretical results.     

Adaptive function projective synchronization of two-cell Quantum-CNN chaotic oscillators with uncertain parameters

This work investigates function projective synchronization of two-cell Quantum-CNN chaotic oscillators using adaptive method. Quantum-CNN oscillators produce nano scale chaotic oscillations under certain conditions. By Lyapunove stability theory, the adaptive control law and the parameter update law are derived to make the state of two chaotic systems function projective synchronized. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive controllers.     

Global synchronization in arrays of coupled networks with one single time-varying delay coupling

Global synchronization in arrays of coupled networks with one single time-varying delay coupling is investigated in this Letter. A general linear coupled network with a time-varying coupling delay is proposed and its global synchronization is further discussed. Some sufficient criteria are derived based on Lyapunov functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI). It is shown that under one single delay coupling, the synchronized state changes, which is different from the conventional synchronized solution. Moreover, the degree of the nodes and the inner delayed coupling matrix play key roles in the synchronized state. In particular, the derivative of the time-varying delay can be any given value. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical results.     

Message filtering characteristics of semiconductor laser as receiver in optical chaos communication

The message filtering characteristics of the receiver in closed-loop chaotic optical communication system are numerically studied based on laser rate equations. A pair of external cavity semiconductor lasers was employed as the chaotic carrier transmitter and the synchronized chaos receiver. We examined the filtering properties of the semiconductor laser receiver for message encoded with chaos masking. Our results demonstrate that, the lower the message frequency, the more easily the receiver filters out the message from chaotic carrier. We also analyzed the effects of each parameter mismatches between the transmitter and the receiver on the quality of the recovered message. Comparing the synchronization quality with the signal-to-noise ratio affected by parameter mismatches, we find that the quality of the recovered message depends not only on the synchronization quality but also on the filtering characteristics of the receiver. The filtering characteristics of receiver will be playing an important role on the quality of the recovered message in the case of large mismatches.     

Detecting synchronization in coupled stochastic ecosystem networks

Instantaneous phase difference, synchronization index and mutual information are considered in order to detect phase transitions, collective behaviours and synchronization phenomena that emerge for different levels of diffusive and reactive activity in stochastic networks. The network under investigation is a spatial 2D lattice which serves as a substrate for Lotka-Volterra dynamics with 3rd order nonlinearities. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the system spontaneously organizes into a number of asynchronous local oscillators, when only nearest neighbour interactions are considered. In contrast, the oscillators can be correlated, phase synchronized and completely synchronized when introducing different interactivity rules (diffusive or reactive) for nearby and distant species. The quantitative measures of synchronization show that long distance diffusion coupling induces phase synchronization after a well defined transition point, while long distance reaction coupling induces smeared phase synchronization.     

Investigation of a Unified Chaotic System and Its Synchronization by Simulations*

We investigate a unified chaotic system and its synchronization including feedback synchronization and adaptive synchronization by numerical simulations. We propose a new dynamical quantity denoted by K, which connects adaptive synchronization and feedback synchronization, to analyze synchronization schemes. We find that K can estimate the smallest coupling strength for a unified chaotic system whether it is complete feedback or one-sided feedback. Based on the previous work, we also give a new dynamical method to compute the leading Lyapunov exponent.     

Theory and Applications of Discontinuous State Feedback Generating Chaos for Linear Systems

We investigate a kind of chaos generating technique on a type of n-dimensional linear differential systems by adding feedback control items under a discontinuous state. This method is checked with some examples of numeric simulation. A constructive theorem is proposed for generalized synchronization related to the above chaotic system.     

Control-oriented approaches to anticipating synchronization of chaotic deterministic ratchets

In virtue of techniques derived from nonlinear control system theory, we establish conditions under which one could obtain anticipating synchronization between two periodically driven deterministic ratchets that are able to exhibit directed transport with a finite velocity. Criteria are established in order to guarantee the anticipating synchronization property of such systems as well as characterize phase space dynamics of the ratchet transporting behaviors. These results allow one to predict the chaotic direct transport features of particles on a ratchet potential using a copy of the same system that performs as a slave, which are verified through numerical simulation.     

Experimental Investigation of Chaos Synchronization in DFB Diode Lasers with Unsymmetrical Scheme

We experimentally generate high dimension chaotic waveforms with smooth spectrum using a distributed feedback （DFB） semiconductor laser with unidirectional fibre ring long-cavity feedback, and implement the stable chaos synchronization when the chaotic light is injected into a solitary DFB laser diode. The synchronization quality is investigated by time-domain and frequency-domain analysis separately, The frequency-domain analysis indicates that the synchronization has higher quality in the high frequency band. The influences of the injection strength and the frequency detuning on the synchronization are measured. Our experimental results show that the robust synchronization can be maintained with the optical frequency detuning from -11GHz to 40 GHz.     

Global chaos synchronization of coupled parametrically excited pendula

In this paper, we study the synchronization behaviour of two linearly coupled parametrically excited chaotic pendula. The stability of the synchronized state is examined using Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI); and some sufficient criteria for global asymptotic synchronization are derived from which an estimated critical coupling is determined. Numerical solutions are presented to verify the theoretical analysis. We also examined the transition to stable synchronous state and show that this corresponds to a boundary crisis of the chaotic attractor.

Wave propagation along interacting fiber-like lattices

A fiber-like lattice with resistively coupled electronic elements mimicking a 1-D discrete reaction-diffusion system is considered. The chosen unit or element in the fiber is the paradigmatic Chua's circuit, capable of exhibiting bistable, excitable, oscillatory or chaotic behavior. Then the dynamics of a structure of two such interacting parallel active fibers is studied. Suitable conditions for the interaction to yield synchronization and other forms of collective behavior involving both fibers are obtained. They include wave front propagation, pulse reentry and pulse propagation failure, overcoming of propagation failure, and the appearance of a source of synchronized pulses. The possibility of designing controlled dynamic contacts by means of one or a few inter-fiber couplings is also discussed. Received 12 December 1998     

Multi-Synchronization Caused by Uniform Disorder for Globally Coupled Maps

We investigate the motion of the globally coupled maps （logistic map） driven by uniform disorder. It is shown that this disorder can produce multi-synchronization for the globally coupled chaotic maps studied by us. The disorder determines the synchronized dynamics, leading to the emergence of a wide range of new collective behaviour in which the individual units in isolation are incapable of producing in the absence of the disorder. Our results imply that the disorder can tame the collective motion of the coupled chaotic maps.     

Synchronization of mutually versus unidirectionally coupled chaotic semiconductor lasers

Synchronization dynamics of mutually coupled chaotic semiconductor lasers are investigated experimentally and compared to identical synchronization of unidirectionally coupled lasers. Mutual coupling shows high quality synchronization in a broad range of self-feedback and coupling strengths. It is found to be tolerant to significant parameter mismatch which for unidirectional coupling would result in loss of synchronization. The advantages of mutual coupling are emphasized in light of its potential use in chaos communications.
