Phase synchronization of a pair of spiral waves.

The interaction of a pair of spiral waves with different independent rotation frequencies is studied. In a very large frequency mismatch searching region, we observe three different pattern formation phenomena: (a) phase-synchronization-induced invasion under a relatively small frequency mismatch, i.e., the spiral wave with slower frequency (longer period) is swept away by a traveling wave, which is induced and phase synchronized by the faster spiral wave; (b) the coexistence of two spiral waves at sufficiently large parameter mismatch; and (c) an intermediate state, a non-phase-synchronous invasion, that is, similarly the slower spiral wave is swept by an approximate planar wave, whose frequency, however, is intermediate between those of the faster and slower waves. A point-source model is studied to analyze all these phenomena in a unified way.

Public-key encryption based on generalized synchronization of coupled map lattices.

Currently used public-key cryptosystems are based on difficulties in solving certain numeric theoretic problems, in which the way to predict the private key from the knowledge of the public key is computationally infeasible. Here we propose a method of constructing public-key cryptosystems by generalized synchronization of coupled map lattices, in which the difficulty in predicting the synchronous function is used as the trap-door function to deduce the private key from the public key. In specific, we implement this idea on the method of "Merkle's puzzles," and find that, incorporated with the chaotic dynamics, this traditional method is equipped with some new features and can be practical in certain situations.

Strange nonchaotic attractors in random dynamical systems.

Whether strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs) can occur typically in dynamical systems other than quasiperiodically driven systems has long been an open question. Here we show, based on a physical analysis and numerical evidence, that robust SNAs can be induced by small noise in autonomous discrete-time maps and in periodically driven continuous-time systems. These attractors, which are relevant to physical and biological applications, can thus be expected to occur more commonly in dynamical systems than previously thought.

Error function attack of chaos synchronization based encryption schemes.

Different chaos synchronization based encryption schemes are reviewed and compared from the practical point of view. As an efficient cryptanalysis tool for chaos encryption, a proposal based on the error function attack is presented systematically and used to evaluate system security. We define a quantitative measure (quality factor) of the effective applicability of a chaos encryption scheme, which takes into account the security, the encryption speed, and the robustness against channel noise. A comparison is made of several encryption schemes and it is found that a scheme based on one-way coupled chaotic map lattices performs outstandingly well, as judged from quality factor.

Complete synchronization and generalized synchronization of one-way coupled time-delay systems.

The complete synchronization and generalized synchronization (GS) of one-way coupled time-delay systems are studied. We find that GS can be achieved by a single scalar signal, and its synchronization threshold for different delay times shows the parameter resonance effect, i.e., we can obtain stable synchronization at a smaller coupling if the delay time of the driven system is chosen such that it is in resonance with the driving system. Near chaos synchronization, the desynchronization dynamics displays periodic bursts with the period equal to the delay time of the driven system. These features can be easily applied to the recovery of time-delay systems.

Measure synchronization in coupled phi4 Hamiltonian systems.

Transitions to measure synchronization both in the quasiperiodic and chaotic cases are investigated based on numerical computation of two coupled phi(4) equations. Some relevant quantities such as the bare energies, the interaction energy, and the phase difference of the two oscillators are computed to clarify the characteristics of the transitions and the measure-synchronous states. A bifurcation with discontinuous bare energy and continuous interaction energy, which takes the maximum value at the critical point, is found for the transition from the desynchronous quasiperiodic state to the measure-synchronous quasiperiodic state, and the related power law scalings are deduced. Stick-slip and random-walk-like behavior of the phase difference is found for the chaotic measure-synchronous state, and this explains the monotonous increase of the interaction energy with an increase of coupling.

Transitions from partial to complete generalized synchronizations in bidirectionally coupled chaotic oscillators.

Generalized synchronization in an array of mutually (bidirectionally) coupled nonidentical chaotic oscillators is studied. Coupled Lorenz oscillators and coupled Lorenz-Rossler oscillators are adopted as our working models. With increasing the coupling strengths, the system experiences a cascade of transitions from the partial to the global generalized synchronizations, i.e., different oscillators are gradually entrained through a clustering process. This scenario of transitions reveals an intrinsic self-organized order in groups of interacting units, which generalizes the idea of generalized synchronizations in drive-response systems.
