Synchronization of two self-excited double pendula

We consider the synchronization of two self-excited double pendula. We show that such pendula hanging on the same beam can have four different synchronous configurations. Our approximate analytical analysis allows us to derive the synchronization conditions and explain the observed types of synchronization. We consider an energy balance in the system and describe how the energy is transferred between the pendula via the oscillating beam, allowing thus the pendula synchronization. Changes and stability ranges of the obtained solutions with increasing and decreasing masses of the pendula are shown using path-following.     

Limit cycles in self-excited multi-degree-of-freedom systems

A possibility of generating stable multi-frequency almost-periodic limit cycles in n-degree-of-freedom self-excited systems is investigated. Analytical approximate methods are used. Systems with non-linear forces described by analytical functions are considered. Several examples of two-degree-of-freedom systems with van der Pol terms are analyzed in detail. The effect of non-linear restoring forces is also considered. The possibility of occurrence of multi-frequency limit cycles is proved by means of analytical methods and confirmed by analogue computer results.

Synchronization of mutually coupled systems

General operation conditions to obtain anticipated or retarded synchronization in a mutually coupled system with feedback are analyzed. Different from a unidirectionally coupled system, which type of synchronization will occur in a mutually coupled system does not solely depend on the difference between the feedback-delay time and the coupling-delay time. We find that in addition to the feedback/coupling delay times, feedback strengths and coupling strengths all determine whether the system will preform anticipated or retarded synchronization. Experimental implementation using semiconductor lasers subject to optoelectronic feedback is provided as an example. A set of experimental data is presented and discussed.     

Synchronization of impulsively coupled complex systems with delay

This paper investigates the synchronization of complex systems with delay that are impulsively coupled at discrete instants only. Based on the comparison theorem of impulsive differential system, a distributed impulsive control scheme is proposed to achieve the synchronization for systems with delay. In the control strategy, the influence of all nodes to network synchronization relies on its weight. The proposed control scheme is applied to the chaotic delayed Hopfield neural networks and numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Synchronization rate of synchronized coupled systems

Synchronization phenomena, an emergent property in networks of interacting dynamical elements, are widely observed in nature, and have become the subject of intense research. Here we will investigate the synchronization rate problem in coupled limit-cycle and chaotic oscillators. Based on the mode decomposition method and Gershgörin's discs theorem, some sufficient conditions for synchronization of coupled systems are obtained, and a synchronization rate is then derived. Such a synchronization rate indicates that the error functions between state variables of underlying individual systems tend to zero in the exponential form as time tends to the infinity. Several numerical examples are also given to validate the theoretical results.     

Synchronization of a network coupled with complex-variable chaotic systems

In this paper, synchronization of a network coupled with complex-variable chaotic systems is investigated. Adaptive feedback control and intermittent control schemes are adopted for achieving adaptive synchronization and exponential synchronization, respectively. Several synchronization criteria are established. In these schemes, the outer coupling matrix is not necessarily assumed to be symmetric or irreducible. Further, for a class of networks with an irreducible and balanced outer coupling matrix, a pinning control scheme is adopted for achieving synchronization. Numerical simulations are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Synchronization in coupled Ikeda delay systems

In this work, we demonstrate the use of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) as a physical platform for realizing chaotic delay differential equations (DDE). Moreover, using our platform, we also experimentally study the synchronization between two time delayed systems. We illustrate two different experimental approaches – one is hardware co-simulation (using a Digilent Atlys with a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA) and the other is analog output (using a Terasic DE2-115 with an Altera Cyclone IV E FPGA).     

Synchronization of coupled metronomes on two layers

Coupled metronomes serve as a paradigmatic model for exploring the collective behaviors of complex dynamical systems, as well as a classical setup for classroom demonstrations of synchronization phenomena. Whereas previous studies of metronome synchronization have been concentrating on symmetric coupling schemes, here we consider the asymmetric case by adopting the scheme of layered metronomes. Specifically, we place two metronomes on each layer, and couple two layers by placing one on top of the other. By varying the initial conditions of the metronomes and adjusting the friction between the two layers, a variety of synchronous patterns are observed in experiment, including the splay synchronization (SS) state, the generalized splay synchronization (GSS) state, the anti-phase synchronization (APS) state, the in-phase delay synchronization (IPDS) state, and the in-phase synchronization (IPS) state. In particular, the IPDS state, in which the metronomes on each layer are synchronized in phase but are of a constant phase delay to metronomes on the other layer, is observed for the first time. In addition, a new technique based on audio signals is proposed for pattern detection, which is more convenient and easier to apply than the existing acquisition techniques. Furthermore, a theoretical model is developed to explain the experimental observations, and is employed to explore the dynamical properties of the patterns, including the basin distributions and the pattern transitions. Our study sheds new lights on the collective behaviors of coupled metronomes, and the developed setup can be used in the classroom for demonstration purposes.     

Synchronization in coupled nonidentical incommensurate fractional-order systems

Synchronization of fractional-order nonlinear systems has received considerable attention for many research activities in recent years. In this Letter, we consider the synchronization between two nonidentical fractional-order systems. Based on the open-plus-closed-loop control method, a general coupling applied to the response system is proposed for synchronizing two nonidentical incommensurate fractional-order systems. We also derive a local stability criterion for such synchronization behavior by utilizing the stability theory of linear incommensurate fractional-order differential equations. Feasibility of the proposed coupling scheme is illustrated through numerical simulations of a limit cycle system, a chaotic system and a hyperchaotic system.     

Synchronization of spectral components in unidirectionally coupled systems

The object of investigation is synchronization of spectral components in unidirectionally coupled chaotic systems. It is shown that the behavior of the spectral components in this case is governed by the amount of detuning between interacting systems. Universal laws of spectral component synchronization are discovered.

Synchronization of a class of coupled chaotic delayed systems with parameter mismatch

In this paper, we study the effect of parameter mismatch on the synchronization of a class of coupled chaotic systems with time delays. In the presence of parameter mismatch, the delayed coupled chaotic systems are investigated in terms of the quasisynchronization. A simple and yet easily applicable criterion for quasisynchronization of a large class of coupled chaotic systems with delays is derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory. As an example, the Ikeda oscillator is simulated, thereby validating the theoretical result in this paper.

Synchronization between two different chaotic systems with nonlinear feedback control

This paper presents chaos synchronization between two different chaotic systems by using a nonlinear controller, in which the nonlinear functions of the system are used as a nonlinear feedback term. The feedback controller is designed on the basis of stability theory, and the area of feedback gain is determined. The artificial simulation results show that this control method is commendably effective and feasible.     

Synchronization between two different noise-perturbed chaotic systems with unknown parameters

In this paper, a general method of synchronizing noise-perturbed chaotic systems with unknown parameters is proposed. Based on the LaSalle-type invariance principle for stochastic differential equations and by employing a combination of feedback control and adaptive control, some sufficient conditions of chaos synchronization between these noise-perturbed systems with unknown parameters are established. The model used in the research is the chaotic system, but the method is also applicable to the hyperchaotic systems. Unified system and noise-perturbed RSssler system, hyperchaotic Chen system and nolse-perturbed hyperchaotic RSssler system are taken for illustrative examples to demonstrate this technique.[第一段]     

Oscillatory Turing patterns in reaction-diffusion systems with two coupled layers

A model reaction-diffusion system with two coupled layers yields oscillatory Turing patterns when oscillation occurs in one layer and the other supports stationary Turing structures. Patterns include "twinkling eyes," where oscillating Turing spots are arranged as a hexagonal lattice, and localized spiral or concentric waves within spot-like or stripe-like Turing structures. A new approach to generating the short-wave instability is proposed.
