Robust synchronization of chaotic systems.

The question of robustness of synchronization with respect to small arbitrary perturbations of the underlying dynamical systems is addressed. We present examples of chaos synchronization demonstrating that normal hyperbolicity is a necessary and sufficient condition for the synchronization manifold to be smooth and persistent under small perturbations. The same examples, however, show that in real applications normal hyperbolicity is not sufficient to give quantitative bounds for deformations of the synchronization manifold, i.e., even in the case of normal hyperbolicity two almost identical systems may cause large synchronization errors.

Synchronization and control of coupled ginzburg-landau equations using local coupling

In this paper we discuss the properties of a recently introduced coupling scheme for spatially extended systems based on local spatially averaged coupling signals [see Z. Tasev et al., Int. J. Bifurcation Chaos Appl. Sci. Eng. (to be published); and L. Junge et al., Int. J. Bifurcation Chaos Appl. Sci. Eng. 9, 2265 (1999)]. Using the Ginzburg-Landau model, we performed an extensive numerical examination of this coupling scheme, i.e., a complete scan through the relevant coupling parameters. Furthermore, we demonstrate suppression and control of spatiotemporal chaos, e.g., stabilizing the homogeneous steady state and spatially localized control. As an application all model parameters of the Ginzburg-Landau equation are estimated given only the local information of the system.

Fast nearest-neighbor searching for nonlinear signal processing

A fast algorithm for exact and approximate nearest-neighbor searching is presented that is suitable for tasks encountered in nonlinear signal processing. Empirical benchmarks show that the algorithm's performance depends mainly on the (fractal) dimension D(d) of the data set, which is usually smaller than the dimension D(s) of the vector space in which the data points are embedded. We also compare the running time of our algorithm with those of two previously proposed algorithms for nearest-neighbor searching.

Phase synchronization of coupled ginzburg-landau equations

The occurrence of phase synchronization of a pair of unidirectionally coupled nonidentical Ginzburg-Landau equations is demonstrated and characterized using cyclic and extended phases. Furthermore, it is shown that weak coupling first leads to frequency synchronization and later to phase synchronization. For strong coupling there is evidence for generalized synchronization.
