Synchronization of identical chaotic systems subjected to common noise has been the subject of recent research. Studies on several chaotic systems have shown that, the synchronization is actually induced by the non-zero mean of the noise, and symmetric noise with zero-mean cannot lead to synchronization. Here it is presented that synchronization can be achieved by zero-mean noise in some chaotic maps with large convergence regions. The effect of common noise on the synchronization of identical chaotic systems has attracted much attention since the work by Maritan and Banavar [1], which claimed that two identical chaotic systems subjected to the same strong enough noise can be synchronized, with the logistic map and the Lorenz system as examples. Some authors have reconsidered their conclusion. Pikovsky [2] pointed out that the largest Lyapunov exponent of the noisy logistic map is positive which is in contradiction to the criterion of negative largest Lyapunov exponent for synchronization [3]. It was also pointed out [2] that the synchronization observed in [1] is an outcome of finite precision in numerical simulations, which was further confirmed by a detailed study by Longa et al [4].Several other authors, on the other hand, reconsidered the problem by examining the properties of the noise added to the systems. For the case of noisy logistic mapwhere the random number ξ is chosen from the interval [−W, W ] with the constraint x n+1 ∈ (0, 1); otherwise, a new random number is chosen. Such a state-dependent noise is no longer symmetric [5], but has a negative mean [6], and it is this nonzero mean that plays an important role in the coalescence of trajectories. A zero-mean noise, although is still state-dependent, cannot lead to synchronization [6]. For the case of the Lorenz system, synchronization was observed by Maritan and Banavar for uniform noise in [0, W ], but not for symmetric noise. In [5], it was shown that the largest Lyapunov exponent of the noisy Lorenz system is the same as that of the system driven constantly by the mean value of the noise, indicating that the bias of the noise plays the central role in synchronization. It was pointed out that the origin of nonchaotic behavior is that the Lorenz system driven by large enough constant perturbations is actually stable at the fixed points [5,7]. Very recently, Sanchez et al [8] analyzed the synchronization of chaotic systems by noise in an experiment with the Chua circuit, again drawing the conclusion that synchronization may be achieved only by biased noise, and not symmetric noise.So it seems that symmetric noise cannot convert a chaotic system into a nonchaotic one, so that synchronization will occur for systems in common noise. In this letter, we are going to present an example that synchronization can actually be achieved by symmetric, zero-mean common noise. In order to avoid the effect of the boundary of a system, such as the logistic map, on the realization of noise, we choose a system that can be driven by noise of any level. The cha...
