Robust Synchronization for Multistable Systems

International audienceIn this note, we study a robust synchronization problem for multistable systems evolving on manifolds within an Input-to-State Stability (ISS) framework. Based on a recent generalization of the classical ISS theory to multistable systems, a robust synchronization protocol is designed with respect to a compact invariant set of the unperturbed system. The invariant set is assumed to admit a decomposition without cycles, that is, with neither homoclinic nor heteroclinic orbits. Numerical simulation examples illustrate our theoretical results

On the robust synchronization of Brockett oscillators

International audienceIn this article, motivated by a recent work of R. Brockett Brockett (2013), we study a robust synchronization problem for multistable Brockett oscillators within an Input-to-State Stability (ISS) framework. Based on a recent generalization of the classical ISS theory to multistable systems and its application to the synchronization of multistable systems, a synchronization protocol is designed with respect to compact invariant sets of the unperturbed Brockett oscillator. The invariant sets are assumed to admit a decomposition without cycles (i.e. with neither homoclinic nor heteroclinic orbits). Contrarily to the local analysis of Brockett (2013), the conditions obtained in our work are global and applicable for family of non-identical oscillators. Numerical simulation examples illustrate our theoretical results

Experimental evidence for vibrational resonance and enhanced signal transmission in Chua's circuit

We consider a single Chua's circuit and a system of a unidirectionally coupled n-Chua's circuits driven by a biharmonic signal with two widely different frequencies \omega and \Omega, where \Omega >> \omega. We show experimental evidence for vibrational resonance in the single Chua's circuit and undamped signal propagation of a low-frequency signal in the system of n-coupled Chua's circuits where only the first circuit is driven by the biharmonic signal. In the single circuit, we illustrate the mechanism of vibrational resonance and the influence of the biharmonic signal parameters on the resonance. In the n(= 75)-coupled Chua's circuits enhanced propagation of low-frequency signal is found to occur for a wide range of values of the amplitude of the high-frequency input signal and coupling parameter. The response amplitude of the ith circuit increases with i and attains a saturation. Moreover, the unidirectional coupling is found to act as a low-pass filter.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, Accepted for Publication in International Journal of Bifurcation and Chao
