Synchronization of symmetrically nonlinear-coupled chaotic systems

Abstract

The synchronization of two symmetrical nonlinear-coupled chaotic systems is discussed. A special nonlinear-coupled term is constructed by suitable separation between linear and nonlinear terms of the chaotic system. The phenomenon of stab le chaotic synchronization has been found in a certain region of the coupled str ength α=05. The stability of the synchronous state is examined by the sta bility criterion of linear systems and the conditional Lyapunov exponent. The Lo renz system and the hyper-chaotic Rssler system are treated as numerical exam ples. It is shown that the proposed method is effective for chaotic synchronizat ion of time-continued systems and hyper-chaotic systems.
