We propose an algorithm of coupling design for a long-term anticipating synchronization of chaos and demonstrate its efficacy for typical chaotic systems: namely, the Rössler system, the double-scroll Chua circuit, and the Lorenz system. The maximum prediction time attained with our algorithm is several times larger than with the diagonal coupling usually used in the literature.
We consider a weakly nonlinear van der Pol oscillator subjected to a periodic force and delayed feedback control. Without control, the oscillator can be synchronized by the periodic force only in a certain domain of parameters. However, outside of this domain the system possesses unstable periodic orbits that can be stabilized by delayed feedback perturbation. The feedback perturbation vanishes if the stabilization is successful and thus the domain of synchronization can be extended with only small control force. We take advantage of the fact that the system is close to a Hopf bifurcation and derive a simplified averaged equation which we are able to treat analytically even in the presence of the delayed feedback. As a result we obtain simple analytical expressions defining the domain of synchronization of the controlled system as well as an optimal value of the control gain. The analytical theory is supported by numerical simulations of the original delay-differential equations.
Abstract−A novel Duffing−Holmes type autonomous chaotic oscillator is described. In comparison with the well−known nonautonomous Duffing−Holmes circuit it lacks the external periodic drive, but includes two extra linear feedback subcircuits, namely a direct positive feedback loop, and an inertial negative feedback loop. In contrast to many other autonomous chaotic oscillators, including linear unstable resonators and nonlinear damping loops, the novel circuit is based on nonlinear resonator and linear damping loop in the negative feedback. SPICE simulation and hardware experimental investigations are presented. The Lyapunov exponents calculated from the rate equations confirm dynamical nature of chaotic oscillations.
Periodic pulse train stimulation is generically used to study the function of the nervous system and to counteract disease-related neuronal activity, e.g., collective periodic neuronal oscillations. The efficient control of neuronal dynamics without compromising brain tissue is key to research and clinical purposes. We here adapt the minimum charge control theory, recently developed for a single neuron, to a network of interacting neurons exhibiting collective periodic oscillations. We present a general expression for the optimal waveform, which provides an entrainment of a neural network to the stimulation frequency with a minimum absolute value of the stimulating current. As in the case of a single neuron, the optimal waveform is of bang-off-bang type, but its parameters are now determined by the parameters of the effective phase response curve of the entire network, rather than of a single neuron. The theoretical results are confirmed by three specific examples: two small-scale networks of FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons with synaptic and electric couplings, as well as a large-scale network of synaptically coupled quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons.
