Transition to Chaotic Rotating Waves in Arrays of Coupled Lorenz Oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present paper we report experimental observations of discrete spatiotemporal structures in rings of unidirectionally coupled analog Lorenz systems. This is an extension of the results previously reported in [Sánchez & Mat́ıas, 1998], studying now other parameter regimes. These studies are based on the use of an analog circuit corresponding to Lorenz equations. The more interesting new result is that a route has been found connecting periodic and chaotic rotating waves in a new kind of transition involving two symmetry related quasiperiodic attractors that merge at the transition point.

Desynchronization Transitions in Rings of Coupled Chaotic Oscillators
Rings of chaotic oscillators coupled unidirectionally through driving are studied. While synchronization is observed for small sizes of the ring, beyond a certain critical size a desynchronizing transition occurs. In the two examples studied here the system exhibits a transition to periodic rotating waves for rings of Lorenz systems, while one finds a sort of chaotic rotating waves when Chua’s ...
متن کاملExperimental study of the transitions between synchronous chaos and a periodic rotating wave.
In this work we characterize experimentally the transition between periodic rotating waves and synchronized chaos in a ring of unidirectionally coupled Lorenz oscillators by means of electronic circuits. The study is complemented by numerical and theoretical analysis, and the intermediate states and their transitions are identified. The route linking periodic behavior with synchronous chaos inv...
متن کاملSynchronization in a population of globally coupled chaotic oscillators
– We demonstrate synchronization transition in a large ensemble of non-identical chaotic oscillators, globally coupled via the mean field. We show that this coherent behaviour is due to synchronization of phases of these oscillators, while their amplitudes remain chaotic. Two types of transition, depending on the phase coherence properties of the individual systems, are described. A number of p...
متن کاملThe onset of synchronization in systems of globally coupled chaotic and periodic oscillators
A general stability analysis is presented for the determination of the transition from incoherent to coherent behavior in an ensemble of globally coupled, heterogeneous, continuous-time dynamical systems. The formalism allows for the simultaneous presence of ensemble members exhibiting chaotic and periodic behavior, and, in a special case, yields the Kuramoto model for globally coupled periodic...
متن کاملRoutes to complex dynamics in a ring of unidirectionally coupled systems.
We study the dynamics of a ring of unidirectionally coupled autonomous Duffing oscillators. Starting from a situation where the individual oscillator without coupling has only trivial equilibrium dynamics, the coupling induces complicated transitions to periodic, quasiperiodic, chaotic, and hyperchaotic behavior. We study these transitions in detail for small and large numbers of oscillators. P...
