Coexistence of generalized synchronization and inverse generalized synchronization between chaotic and hyperchaotic systems

In this paper, we present new schemes to synchronize different dimensional chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. Based on coexistence of generalized synchronization (GS) and inverse generalized synchronization (IGS), a new type of hybrid chaos synchronization is constructed. Using Lyapunov stability theory and stability theory of linear continuous-time systems, some sufficient conditions are derived to prove the coexistence of generalized synchronization and inverse generalized synchronization between 3D master chaotic system and 4D slave hyperchaotic system. Finally, two numerical examples are illustrated with the aim to show the effectiveness of the approaches developed herein

Exponential stability via aperiodically intermittent control of complex-variable time delayed chaotic systems

summary:This paper focuses on the problem of exponential stability analysis of uncertain complex-variable time delayed chaotic systems, where the parameters perturbation are bounded assumed. The aperiodically intermittent control strategy is proposed to stabilize the complex-variable delayed systems. By taking the advantage of Lyapunov method in complex field and utilizing inequality technology, some sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the stability of uncertain complex-variable delayed systems, where the constrained time delay are considered in the conditions obtained. To protrude the availability of the devised stability scheme, simulation examples are ultimately demonstrated

Dynamical Systems

Complex systems are pervasive in many areas of science integrated in our daily lives. Examples include financial markets, highway transportation networks, telecommunication networks, world and country economies, social networks, immunological systems, living organisms, computational systems and electrical and mechanical structures. Complex systems are often composed of a large number of interconnected and interacting entities, exhibiting much richer global scale dynamics than the properties and behavior of individual entities. Complex systems are studied in many areas of natural sciences, social sciences, engineering and mathematical sciences. This special issue therefore intends to contribute towards the dissemination of the multifaceted concepts in accepted use by the scientific community. We hope readers enjoy this pertinent selection of papers which represents relevant examples of the state of the art in present day research. [...

A Novel Four-Wing Hyperchaotic Complex System and Its Complex Modified Hybrid Projective Synchronization with Different Dimensions

We introduce a new Dadras system with complex variables which can exhibit both four-wing hyperchaotic and chaotic attractors. Some dynamic properties of the system have been described including Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, and Poincaré maps. More importantly, we focus on a new type of synchronization method of modified hybrid project synchronization with complex transformation matrix (CMHPS) for different dimensional hyperchaotic and chaotic complex systems with complex parameters, where the drive and response systems can be asymptotically synchronized up to a desired complex transformation matrix, not a diagonal matrix. Furthermore, CMHPS between the novel hyperchaotic Dadras complex system and other two different dimensional complex chaotic systems is provided as an example to discuss increased order synchronization and reduced order synchronization, respectively. Numerical results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented schemes

Research on digital image watermark encryption based on hyperchaos

The digital watermarking technique embeds meaningful information into one or more watermark images hidden in one image, in which it is known as a secret carrier. It is difficult for a hacker to extract or remove any hidden watermark from an image, and especially to crack so called digital watermark. The combination of digital watermarking technique and traditional image encryption technique is able to greatly improve anti-hacking capability, which suggests it is a good method for keeping the integrity of the original image. The research works contained in this thesis include: (1)A literature review the hyperchaotic watermarking technique is relatively more advantageous, and becomes the main subject in this programme. (2)The theoretical foundation of watermarking technologies, including the human visual system (HVS), the colour space transform, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), the main watermark embedding algorithms, and the mainstream methods for improving watermark robustness and for evaluating watermark embedding performance. (3) The devised hyperchaotic scrambling technique it has been applied to colour image watermark that helps to improve the image encryption and anti-cracking capabilities. The experiments in this research prove the robustness and some other advantages of the invented technique. This thesis focuses on combining the chaotic scrambling and wavelet watermark embedding to achieve a hyperchaotic digital watermark to encrypt digital products, with the human visual system (HVS) and other factors taken into account. This research is of significant importance and has industrial application value

Symmetry in Chaotic Systems and Circuits

Symmetry can play an important role in the field of nonlinear systems and especially in the design of nonlinear circuits that produce chaos. Therefore, this Special Issue, titled “Symmetry in Chaotic Systems and Circuits”, presents the latest scientific advances in nonlinear chaotic systems and circuits that introduce various kinds of symmetries. Applications of chaotic systems and circuits with symmetries, or with a deliberate lack of symmetry, are also presented in this Special Issue. The volume contains 14 published papers from authors around the world. This reflects the high impact of this Special Issue

Dynamical analysis and boundedness for a generalized chaotic Lorenz model

The dynamical behavior of a 5-dimensional Lorenz model (5DLM) is investigated. Bifurcation diagrams address the chaotic and periodic behaviors associated with the bifurcation parameter. The Hamilton energy and its dependence on the stability of the dynamical system are presented. The global exponential attractive set (GEAS) is estimated in different 3-dimensional projection planes. A more conservative bound for the system is determined, that can be applied in synchronization and chaos control of dynamical systems. Finally, the finite time synchronization of the 5DLM, indicating the role of the ultimate bound for each variable, is studied. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the achieved theoretical results

Numerical methods for a four dimensional hyperchaotic system with applications

This study seeks to develop a method that generalises the use of Adams-Bashforth to solve or treat partial differential equations with local and non-local differentiation by deriving a two-step Adams-Bashforth numerical scheme in Laplace space. The resulting solution is then transformed back into the real space by using the inverse Laplace transform. This is a powerful numerical algorithm for fractional order derivative. The error analysis for the method is studied and presented. The numerical simulations of the method as applied to the four-dimensional model, Caputo-Lu-Chen model and the wave equation are presented. In the analysis, the bifurcation dynamics are discussed and the periodic doubling processes that eventually caused chaotic behaviour (butterfly attractor) are shown. The related graphical simulations that show the existence of fractal structure that is characterised by chaos and usually called strange attractors are provided. For the Caputo-Lu-Chen model, graphical simulations have been realised in both integer and fractional derivative orders.Mathematical SciencesM. Sc. (Applied Mathematics

Physics and Applications of Laser Diode Chaos

An overview of chaos in laser diodes is provided which surveys experimental achievements in the area and explains the theory behind the phenomenon. The fundamental physics underpinning this behaviour and also the opportunities for harnessing laser diode chaos for potential applications are discussed. The availability and ease of operation of laser diodes, in a wide range of configurations, make them a convenient test-bed for exploring basic aspects of nonlinear and chaotic dynamics. It also makes them attractive for practical tasks, such as chaos-based secure communications and random number generation. Avenues for future research and development of chaotic laser diodes are also identified.Comment: Published in Nature Photonic
