Generalized synchronization of coupled chaotic systems

In this paper we briefly report some recent developments on generalized synchronization. We discuss different methods of detecting generalized synchronization. We first consider two unidirectionally coupled systems and then two mutually coupled systems. We then extend the study to a network of coupled systems. In the study of generalized synchronization of coupled nonidentical systems we discuss the Master Stability Function (MSF) formalism for coupled nearly identical systems. Later we use this MSF to construct synchronized optimized networks. In the optimized networks the nodes which have parameter value at one extreme are chosen as hubs and the pair of nodes with larger difference in parameter are chosen to create links.     

Solitary pulses in linearly coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations

This article presents a brief review of dynamical models based on systems of linearly coupled complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equations. In the simplest case, the system features linear gain, cubic nonlinearity (possibly combined with cubic loss), and group-velocity dispersion (GVD) in one equation, while the other equation is linear, featuring only intrinsic linear loss. The system models a dual-core fiber laser, with a parallel-coupled active core and an additional stabilizing passive (lossy) one. The model gives rise to exact analytical solutions for stationary solitary pulses (SPs). The article presents basic results concerning stability of the SPs; interactions between pulses are also considered, as are dark solitons (holes). In the case of the anomalous GVD, an unstable stationary SP may transform itself, via the Hopf bifurcation, into a stable localized breather. Various generalizations of the basic system are briefly reviewed too, including a model with quadratic (second-harmonic-generating) nonlinearity and a recently introduced model of a different but related type, based on linearly coupled CGL equations with cubic-quintic nonlinearity. The latter system features spontaneous symmetry breaking of stationary SPs, and also the formation of stable breathers.     

Partial spatial synchronization of chaotic oscillations in the Ginzburg-Landau equation

A possibility of generalized synchronization between two parts of a spatially distributed system being in space-time chaos is demonstrated with the Ginzburg-Landau equation used as an example. Regions of the distributed system parameters at which the functional relationship is established between the parts of the system are determined.     

Generalized spatiotemporal chaos synchronization of the Ginzburg-Landau equation

In this paper, the generalized synchronization of two unidirectionally coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations is studied theoretically. It is demonstrated that the drive-response system has bounded attraction domain and compact attractors. It is derived that the correction equation has asymptotically stable zero solutions under certain conditions and that the sufficient conditions for smooth generalized synchronization and Hölder continuous generalized synchronization exist in the coupling system. Numerical result analysis shows the correctness of theory.     

Phase synchronization in unidirectionally coupled chaotic ratchets

We study chaotic phase synchronization of unidirectionally coupled deterministic chaotic ratchets. The coupled ratchets were simulated in their chaotic states and perfect phase locking was observed as the coupling was gradually increased. We identified the region of phase synchronization for the ratchets and show that the transition to chaotic phase synchronization is via an interior crisis transition to strange attractor in the phase space.     

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.     

Controlling projective synchronization in coupled chaotic systems

In this paper, a new method for controlling projective synchronization in coupled chaotic systems is presented. The control method is based on a partially linear decomposition and negative feedback of state errors. Firstly, the synchronizability of the proposed projective synchronization control method is proved mathematically. Then, three different representative examples are discussed to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control method.     

Phase synchronization in bi-directionally coupled chaotic ratchets

We show the existence of phase synchronization in bi-directionally coupled deterministic chaotic ratchets. The coupled ratchets were simulated in their chaotic states. A transition from a regime where the phases rotate with different velocities to a synchronous state where the phase difference is bounded was observed as the coupling was increased. In addition, the region of synchronization in which the system is permanently phase locked was identified. In this regime, the transverse Lyapunov exponent corresponding to both phases remain positive. Our calculations show that the transition to a synchronized state occurs via a crisis transition to an attractor filling the whole phase space.     

Phase synchronization in two coupled chaotic neurons

Chaotically-spiking dynamics of Hindmarsh–Rose neurons are discussed based on a flexible definition of phase for chaotic flow. The phase synchronization of two coupled chaotic neurons is in fact the spike synchronization. As a multiple time-scale model, the coupled HR neurons have quite different behaviors from the Rössler oscillators only having single time-scale mechanism. Using such a multiple time-scale model, the phase function can detect synchronization dynamics that cannot be distinguished by cross-correlation. Moreover, simulation results show that the Lyapunov exponents cannot be used as a definite criterion for the occurrence of chaotic phase synchronization for such a system. Evaluation of the phase function shows its utility in analyzing nonlinear neural systems.     

Generalized synchronization of two different chaotic systems

In this paper, generalized synchronization of two different chaotic dynamical systems is investigated. An active control is adopted to construct a response system which synchronizes with a given drive system for a function relation. Based on rigorous analysis, the error system is asymptotically stable at the equilibrium. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theory.

Global synchronization in lattices of coupled chaotic systems

Based on the concept of matrix measures, we study global stability of synchronization in networks. Our results apply to quite general connectivity topology. In addition, a rigorous lower bound on the coupling strength for global synchronization of all oscillators is also obtained. Moreover, by merely checking the structure of the vector field of the single oscillator, we shall be able to determine if the system is globally synchronized.     

Impulsive synchronization of nonlinear coupled chaotic systems

The issue of impulsive synchronization of the nonlinear coupled chaotic systems is investigated. A new framework for impulsive synchronization between such chaotic systems is presented, which makes the synchronization error system a linear impulsive control system. Therefore, it is easy to derive the impulsive synchronization law. To illustrate the effectiveness of the new scheme, a numerical example is given.     

耦合分数阶混沌振荡器的主-从同步

近年来对分数阶系统的动力学研究得到了较为广泛的关注。本文研究了基于主-从耦合同步法的同步技术并实现了两个耦合的分数阶振荡器的混沌同步。仿真结果表明：在适当的耦合强度的调节下，该方法可实现两个耦合分数阶混沌振荡器的准确同步，且分数阶混沌振荡器的同步率明显慢于整数阶混沌振荡器的同步率；而耦合分数阶混沌振荡器在实现同步的过程中，随着阶数的提高，同步误差曲线变得平滑，这表明，系统阶数的提高改善了耦合混沌振荡器实现同步的平稳性。     

强耦合混沌系统中的近似同步

以单向驱动耦合Lorenz振子一维链为研究对象，研究振子间的混沌同步行为. 数值计算结果表明，对于变量y驱动x的耦合方式，在合适的耦合强度下，会出现第一个振子和第二个振子不同步，而与次近邻非直接连接的振子(如第三个振子)近似同步. 进一步研究表明，出现这一现象的原因是在大耦合强度下，对于这种驱动方式，第一个振子和第二个振子间出现驱动单变量近似同步；虽然它们之间未出现所有变量的完全同步，但是驱动信号事实上已经传递下去了. 关键词： Lorenz振子 混沌同步 近似同步

Generalized projective synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems

In this paper, based on the idea of a nonlinear observer, a new method is proposed and applied to “generalized projective synchronization” for a class of fractional order chaotic systems via a transmitted signal. This synchronization approach is theoretically and numerically studied. By using the stability theory of linear fractional order systems, suitable conditions for achieving synchronization are given. Numerical simulations coincide with the theoretical analysis.     

Experimental investigation of partial synchronization in coupled chaotic oscillators

The dynamical behavior of a ring of six diffusively coupled R?ssler circuits, with different coupling schemes, is experimentally and numerically investigated using the coupling strength as a control parameter. The ring shows partial synchronization and all the five patterns predicted analyzing the symmetries of the ring are obtained experimentally. To compare with the experiment, the ring has been integrated numerically and the results are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental ones. The results are analyzed through the graphs generated plotting the y variable of the ith circuit versus the variable y of the jth circuit. As an auxiliary tool to identify numerically the behavior of the oscillators, the three largest Lyapunov exponents of the ring are obtained.
