Influence of low intensity noise on assemblies of diffusively coupled chaotic cells

The effect of time-correlated and white Gaussian noises of low intensity on one-dimensional arrays consisting of diffusively coupled chaotic cells is analyzed. An improvement or worsening of the synchronization between cells of the array driven by low-intensity colored noise is observed for a resonant interval of time correlation values. A comparison between colored and white noise and additive and multiplicative contribution has been carried out investigating the nonlinear cooperative effects of noise strength, correlation time, and coupling strength to control spatiotemporal chaos in coupled arrays of chaotic cells. The possibility to distinguish highly correlated areas of a diffusively coupled network of cells by using low-intensity time correlated noise is discussed.

Noise-induced synchronization and coherence resonance of a Hodgkin-Huxley model of thermally sensitive neurons

We study nontrivial effects of noise on synchronization and coherence of a chaotic Hodgkin-Huxley model of thermally sensitive neurons. We demonstrate that identical neurons which are not coupled but subjected to a common fluctuating input (Gaussian noise) can achieve complete synchronization when the noise amplitude is larger than a threshold. For nonidentical neurons, noise can induce phase synchronization. Noise enhances synchronization of weakly coupled neurons. We also find that noise enhances the coherence of the spike trains. A saddle point embedded in the chaotic attractor is responsible for these nontrivial noise-induced effects. Relevance of our results to biological information processing is discussed.     

Noise enhanced phase synchronization and coherence resonance in sets of chaotic oscillators with weak global coupling

The effect of noise on phase synchronization in small sets and larger populations of weakly coupled chaotic oscillators is explored. Both independent and correlated noise are found to enhance phase synchronization of two coupled chaotic oscillators below the synchronization threshold; this is in contrast to the behavior of two coupled periodic oscillators. This constructive effect of noise results from the interplay between noise and the locking features of unstable periodic orbits. We show that in a population of nonidentical chaotic oscillators, correlated noise enhances synchronization in the weak coupling region. The interplay between noise and weak coupling induces a collective motion in which the coherence is maximal at an optimal noise intensity. Both the noise-enhanced phase synchronization and the coherence resonance numerically observed in coupled chaotic R?ssler oscillators are verified experimentally with an array of chaotic electrochemical oscillators.     

Experimental study of the time-scale synchronization in the presence of noise

The time-scale synchronization of chaotic oscillations in two dissipatively coupled radiofrequency chaotic oscillators has been experimentally studied.

Effect of common noise on phase synchronization in coupled chaotic oscillators

We report a general phenomenon concerning the effect of noise on phase synchronization in coupled chaotic oscillators: the average phase-synchronization time exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior with the noise amplitude. In particular, we find that the time exhibits a local minimum for relatively small noise amplitude but a local maximum for stronger noise. We provide numerical results, experimental evidence from coupled chaotic circuits, and a heuristic argument to establish the generality of this phenomenon.     

Identifying parameter by identical synchronization between different systems

In this paper, parameters of a given (chaotic) dynamical system are estimated from time series by using identical synchronization between two different systems. This technique is based on the invariance principle of differential equations, i.e., a dynamical Lyapunov function involving synchronization error and the estimation error of parameters. The control used in this synchronization consists of feedback and adaptive control loop associated with the update law of estimation parameters. Our estimation process indicates that one may identify dynamically all unknown parameters of a given (chaotic) system as long as time series of the system are available. Lorenz and Rossler systems are used to illustrate the validity of this technique. The corresponding numerical results and analysis on the effect of noise are also given.     

Generalized chaotic synchronization in coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations

Generalized synchronization is analyzed in unidirectionally coupled oscillatory systems exhibiting spatiotemporal chaotic behavior described by Ginzburg-Landau equations. Several types of coupling between the systems are analyzed. The largest spatial Lyapunov exponent is proposed as a new characteristic of the state of a distributed system, and its calculation is described for a distributed oscillatory system. Partial generalized synchronization is introduced as a new type of chaotic synchronization in spatially nonuniform distributed systems. The physical mechanisms responsible for the onset of generalized chaotic synchronization in spatially distributed oscillatory systems are elucidated. It is shown that the onset of generalized chaotic synchronization is described by a modified Ginzburg-Landau equation with additional dissipation irrespective of the type of coupling. The effect of noise on the onset of a generalized synchronization regime in coupled distributed systems is analyzed.     

Synchronization of Chaotic Intensities and Phases in an Array of N Lasers

A linear array of N mutually coupled single-mode lasers is investigated. It is shown that the intensities of N lasers are chaotically synchronized when the coupling between lasers is relatively strong. The chaotic synchronization of intensities depends on the location of the lasers in the array. The chaotic synchronization appears between two outmost lasers, the second two outmost lasers, etc. There is no synchronization between nearest neighbors of the lasers. If the number of N is odd, the middle laser is never synchronized between any lasers. The chaotic synchronization of phases between nearest lasers in the array is examined by using the analytic signal and the Gaussian filter methods based on the peak of the power spectrum of the intensity. It can be seen that the message of chaotic intensity synchronization is conveyed through the phase synchronization.

Synchronization in a Mutualism Ecosystem Induced by Noise Correlation

Understanding the cause of the synchronization of population evolution is an important issue for ecological improvement. Here we present a Lotka-Volterra-type model driven by two correlated environmental noises and show, via theoretical analysis and direct simulation, that noise correlation can induce a synchronization of the mutualists. The time series of mutual species exhibit a chaotic-like fluctuation, which is independent of the noise correlation, however, the chaotic fluctuation of mutual species ratio decreases with the noise correlation. A quantitative parameter defined for characterizing chaotic fluctuation provides a good approach to measure when the complete synchronization happens.

Using white noise to enhance synchronization of coupled chaotic systems

In the paper, complete synchronization of two chaotic oscillators via unidirectional coupling determined by white noise distribution is investigated. It is analytically proved that chaos synchronization could be achieved with probability one merely via white-noise-based coupling. The established theoretical result supports the observation of an interesting phenomenon that a certain kind of white noise could enhance chaos synchronization between two chaotic oscillators. Furthermore, numerical examples are provided to illustrate some possible applications of the theoretical result.     

Adaptive complete synchronization of two identical or different chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems with fully unknown parameters

This paper studies the adaptive complete synchronization of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems with fully unknown parameters. In practical situations, some systems' parameters cannot be exactly known a priori, and the uncertainties often affect the stability of the process of synchronization of the chaotic oscillators. An adaptive scheme is proposed to compensate for the effects of parameters' uncertainty based on the structure of chaotic systems in this paper. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, an adaptive controller and a parameters update law can be designed for the synchronization of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. The drive and response systems can be nonidentical, even with different order. Three illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the validity of this technique, and numerical simulations are also given to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization method. In addition, this synchronization scheme is quite robust against the effect of noise.     

Chaotic synchronization of coupled ergodic maps

With few exceptions, studies of chaotic synchronization have focused on dissipative chaos. Though less well known, chaotic systems that lack dissipation may also synchronize. Motivated by an application in communication systems, we couple a family of ergodic maps on the N-torus and study the global stability of the synchronous state. While most trajectories synchronize at some time, there is a measure zero set that never synchronizes. We give explicit examples of these asynchronous orbits in dimensions two and four. On more typical trajectories, the synchronization error reaches arbitrarily small values and, in practice, converges. In dimension two we derive bounds on the average synchronization time for trajectories resulting from randomly chosen initial conditions. Numerical experiments suggest similar bounds exist in higher dimensions as well. Adding noise to the coupling signal destroys the invariance of the synchronous state and causes typical trajectories to desynchronize. We propose a modification of the standard coupling scheme that corrects this problem resulting in robust synchronization in the presence of noise.     

Observability of lag synchronization of coupled chaotic oscillators

Lag synchronization is a recently discovered theoretical phenomenon where the dynamical variables of two coupled, nonidentical chaotic oscillators are synchronized with a time delay relative to each other. We investigate experimentally and numerically to what extent lag synchronization can be observed in physical systems where noise is inevitable. Our measurements and numerical computation suggest that lag synchronization is typically destroyed when the noise level is comparable to the amount of average system mismatch. At small noise levels, lag synchronization occurs in an intermittent fashion.

Effect of a fluctuating parameter mismatch and the associated time-scales on coupled Rossler oscillators

We study the effect of parameter fluctuations and the resultant multiplicative noise on the synchronization of coupled chaotic systems. We introduce a new quantity, the fluctuation rate ϕ as the number of perturbations occurring to the parameter in unit time. It is shown that ϕ is the most significant quantity that determines the quality of synchronization. It is found that parameter fluctuations with high fluctuation rates do not destroy synchronization, irrespective of the statistical features of the fluctuations. We also present a quasi-analytic explanation to the relation between ϕ and the error in synchrony.
