Experimental observation of partial amplitude death in coupled chaotic oscillators

The dynamics of coupled Lorenz circuits is investigated experimentally. The partial amplitude death reported in Phys. Rev. E 72, 057201（2005） is verified by physical experiments with electronic circuits. With the increase of coupling constant, the coupled circuits undergo the transition from the breakdown of both the reflection symmetry and the translational symmetry to the partial amplitude death. Its stability is also confirmed by analysing the effects of noise.

Explosive synchronization of complex networks with different chaotic oscillators

Recent studies have shown that explosive synchronization transitions can be observed in networks of phase oscillators [Goemez-Gardenes J, Goemez S, Arenas A and Moreno Y 2011 Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 128701] and chaotic oscillators [Leyva I, Sevilla-Escoboza R, Buldu J M, Sendifia-Nadal I, Goemez-Gardefies J, Arenas A, Moreno Y, Goemez S, Jaimes-Reaitegui R and Boccaletti S 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 108 168702]. Here, we study the effect of different chaotic dynamics on the synchronization transitions in small world networks and scale free networks. The continuous transition is discovered for R6ssler systems in both of the above complex networks. However, explosive transitions take place for the coupled Lorenz systems, and the main reason is the abrupt change of dynamics before achieving complete synchronization. Our results show that the explosive synchronization transitions are accompanied by the change of system dynamics.

Fixed time integral sliding mode controller and its application to the suppression of chaotic oscillation in power system

Chattering phenomenon and singularity are still the main problems that hinder the practical application of sliding mode control. In this paper, a fixed time integral sliding mode controller is designed based on fixed time stability theory, which ensures precise convergence of the state variables of controlled system, and overcomes the drawback of convergence time growing unboundedly as the initial value increases in finite time controller. It makes the controlled system converge to the control objective within a fixed time bounded by a constant as the initial value grows, and convergence time can be changed by adjusting parameters of controllers properly. Compared with other fixed time controllers, the fixed time integral sliding mode controller proposed in this paper achieves chattering-free control, and integral expression is used to avoid singularity generated by derivation. Finally, the controller is used to stabilize four-order chaotic power system. The results demonstrate that the controller realizes the non-singular chattering-free control of chaotic oscillation in the power system and guarantees the fixed time convergence of state variables, which shows its higher superiority than other finite time controllers.

Dynamical characteristics of an HP memristor based on an equivalent circuit model in a chaotic oscillator

To develop real world memristor application circuits, an equivalent circuit model which imitates memductance （mem- ory conductance） of the HP memristor is presented. The equivalent circuit can be used for breadboard experiments for various application circuit designs of memristor. Based on memductance of the realistic HP memristor and Chua＇s circuit a new chaotic oscillator is designed. Some basic dynamical behaviors of the oscillator, including equilibrium set, Lyapunov exponent spectrum, and bifurcations with various circuit parameters are investigated theoretically and numerically. To con- firm the correction of the proposed oscillator an analog circuit is designed using the proposed equivalent circuit model of an HP memristor, and the circuit simulations and the experimental results are given.

Temperature effects of GaAs/Al_(0.45)Ga_(0.55)As superlattices on chaotic oscillation

For widespectrum chaotic oscillation,superlattice cryptography is an autonomous controllable brand-new technology.Originating from sequential resonance tunneling of electrons,the chaotic oscillation is susceptible to temperature change,which determines the performance of superlattices.In this paper,the temperature effects of chaotic oscillations are investigated by analyzing the randomness of a sequence at different temperatures and explained with superlattice microstates.The results show that the bias voltage at different temperatures makes spontaneous chaotic oscillations vary.With the temperature of superlattices changing,the sequence dives in entropy value and randomness at specific bias.This work fills the gap in the study of temperature stability and promotes superlattice cryptography for practice.

This gives a theoretic analysis and a computational method for the purpose to control the nonlinear system with deviation stably running.

General hybrid projective complete dislocated synchronization with non-derivative and derivative coupling based on parameter identification in several chaotic and hyperchaotic systems

According to the Lyapunov stability theorem, a new general hybrid projective complete dislocated synchronization scheme with non-derivative and derivative coupling based on parameter identification is proposed under the framework of drive-response systems. Every state variable of the response system equals the summation of the hybrid drive systems in the previous hybrid synchronization. However, every state variable of the drive system equals the summation of the hybrid response systems while evolving with time in our method. Complete synchronization, hybrid dislocated synchronization, projective synchronization, non-derivative and derivative coupling, and parameter identification are included as its special item. The Lorenz chaotic system, Rssler chaotic system, memristor chaotic oscillator system, and hyperchaotic Lü system are discussed to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Impact of Temperature Variation on Performance of Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor-Based on Chaotic Oscillator:A Quantum Simulation Study

We evaluate the impact of temperature on the output behavior of a carbon nanotube field effect transistor （CNFET） based chaotic generator. The sources cause the variations in both current-voltage characteristics of the CNFET device and an overall chaotic circuit is pointed out. To verify the effect of temperature variation on the output dynamics of the chaotic circuit, a simulation is performed by employing the CNFET compact model of Wong et al. in HSPICE with a temperature range from -100℃ to 100℃. The obtained results with time series, frequency spectra, and bifurcation diagram from the simulation demonstrate that temperature plays a significant role in the output dynamics of the CNFET-based chaotic circuit. Thus, temperature-related issues should be taken into account while designing a high-quality chaotic generator with high stability.

Periodic and chaotic oscillations in mutual-coupled mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers

Dynamic states in mutual-coupled mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers(QCLs) were numerically investigated in the parameter space of injection strength and detuning frequency based on the Lang-Kobayashi equations model. Three types of period-one states were found, with different periods of injection time delay τ_(inj), 2τ_(inj), and reciprocal of the detuning frequency. Besides, square-wave, quasi-period, pulse-burst and chaotic oscillations were also observed. It is concluded that external-cavity periodic dynamics and optical modes beating are the mainly periodic dynamics. The interaction of the two periodic dynamics and the high-frequency dynamics stimulated by strong injection induces the dynamic states evolution.This work helps to understand the dynamic behaviors in QCLs and shows a new way to mid-infrared wide-band chaotic laser.

Chaotic oscillations in a piecewise linear spring-mass system

Chaotic oscillations are useful in assessing the health of a structure. Hence, simple chaotic systems which can easily be realized mechanically or electro-mechanically are highly desired. We study a new pieeewise linear spring-tnass system. The chaotic behaviour in this system is characterized using bifurcation diagrams and the invariant parameters of the dynamics. We also show that there exists a stochastic analogue of this system, which mimics the dynamical features of its deterministic counterpart. This allows a greater flexibility in practical designs as the chaotic oscillations are obtained either deterministically or stochastically. Also, the oscillations are low dimensional, which reduces the computational resources needed for obtaining the invariant parameters of this system.

A new nonlinear oscillator with infinite number of coexisting hidden and self-excited attractors

In this paper,we introduce a new two-dimensional nonlinear oscillator with an infinite number of coexisting limit cycles.These limit cycles form a layer-by-layer structure which is very unusual.Forty percent of these limit cycles are self-excited attractors while sixty percent of them are hidden attractors.Changing this new system to its forced version,we introduce a new chaotic system with an infinite number of coexisting strange attractors.We implement this system through field programmable gate arrays.

Experimental observation of a multirhythmic pattern in chains of Rossler circuits

The influence of parameter mismatches on multirhythmic patterns in chains of coupled Rossler circuits are explored experimentally. The parameter mismatches in coupled chaotic oscillators are found to help form a kind of multirhythmic pattern as reported in chains of biological coupled oscillators [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92 228102]. Moreover, a new type of multirhythmic pattern based on the envelope of time series is observed.

Bifurcation behavior and coexisting motions in a time-delayed power system

With the increase of system scale, time delays have become unavoidable in nonlinear power systems, which add the complexity of system dynamics and induce chaotic oscillation and even voltage collapse events. In this paper, coexisting phenomenon in a fourth-order time-delayed power system is investigated for the first time with different initial conditions.With the mechanical power, generator damping factor, exciter gain, and time delay varying, the specific characteristic of the time-delayed system, including a discontinuous ＂jump＂ bifurcation behavior is analyzed by bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits, Poincar′e maps, and power spectrums. Moreover, the coexistence of two different periodic orbits and chaotic attractors with periodic orbits are observed in the power system, respectively. The production condition and existent domain of the coexistence phenomenon are helpful to avoid undesirable behavior in time-delayed power systems.

Complex dynamics of a harmonically excited structure coupled with a nonlinear energy sink

Nonlinear behaviors are investigated for a structure coupled with a nonlinear energy sink. The structure is linear and subject to a harmonic excitation, modeled as a forced single-degree-of-freedom oscillator. The nonlinear energy sink is modeled as an oscillator consisting of a mass,a nonlinear spring, and a linear damper. Based on the numerical solutions, global bifurcation diagrams are presented to reveal the coexistence of periodic and chaotic motions for varying nonlinear energy sink mass and stiffness. Chaos is numerically identified via phase trajectories, power spectra,and Poincaré maps. Amplitude-frequency response curves are predicted by the method of harmonic balance for periodic steady-state responses. Their stabilities are analyzed.The Hopf bifurcation and the saddle-node bifurcation are determined. The investigation demonstrates that a nonlinear energy sink may create dynamic complexity.

An innovative detection method of high frequency BPSK signal with low signal-to-noise ratio

Based on chaotic oscillator system, this paper proposes a novel method on high frequency low signal- to-noise ratio BPSK（ Binary Phase Shift Keying） signal detection. Chaotic oscillator system is a typical non-lin- ear system which is sensitive to periodic signals and immune to noise at the same time. Those properties make it possible to detect low signal-to-noise ratio signals. The BPSK signal is a common signal type which is widely used in modern communication. Starting from the analysis of advantages of chaotic, os~.illator system and signal features of the BPSK signal, we put forward a unique method that can detect low signar-to-noise ratio BPSK sig- nals with high frequency. The simulation results show that the novel method can dclct.t low signal-to-noise ratio BPSK signals with frequency in an order of magnitude of l0s Hz, and the input Signal-to-Noise Ratio threshold can be -20 dB.

Dynamical behaviors of a system with switches between the Rossler oscillator and Chua circuits

The behaviors of a system that alternates between the R¨ossler oscillator and Chua＇s circuit is investigated to explore the influence of the switches on the dynamical evolution.Switches related to the state variables are introduced,upon which a typical switching dynamical model is established.Bifurcation sets of the subsystems are derived via analysis of the related equilibrium points,which divide the parameters into several regions corresponding to different types of attractors.The dynamics behave typically in period orbits with the variation of the parameters.The focus/cycle periodic switching phenomenon is explored in detail to present the mechanism of the movement.The period-doubling bifurcation to chaos can be observed via the doubling increase of the turning points related to the switches.Furthermore,period-decreasing sequences have been obtained,which can be explained by the variation of the eigenvalues associated with the equilibrium points of the subsystems.

Betweenness centrality is taken as a sensible indicator of the synchronizability of complex networks. To test whether betweenness centrality is a proper measure of the synchronizability in specific realizations of random networks, this paper adds edges to the networks and then evaluates the changes of betweenness centrality and network synchronizability. It finds that the two quantities vary independently.
