We report experimental results on the defect turbulent state of undulation chaos in inclined layer convection of a fluid with Prandtl number approximately 1. By measuring defect density and undulation wave number, we find that the onset of undulation chaos coincides with the theoretically predicted onset for stable, stationary undulations. At stronger driving, we observe a competition between o...

Synchronisation of chaotic systems is an important research problem in chaos theory. In this research work, a novel sliding mode control method is proposed for the global chaos synchronisation of identical chaotic systems. The general result derived using novel sliding mode control method is established using Lyapunov stability theory. As an application of the general result, the problem of glo...

BACKGROUND The six item Confusion, Hubbub and Order Scale (CHAOS-6) has been validated as a reliable tool to measure levels of household disorder. We aimed to investigate the goodness of fit and reliability of a new Malay version of the CHAOS-6. METHODS The original English version of the CHAOS-6 underwent forward-backward translation into the Malay language. The finalised Malay version was a...

Chaos control is of vital importance in the fields of chaos application. To avoid too much artificial control factors, by transforming problems related to chaos system into those of different functions’ optimizations, a novel application through particle swarm optimization simulating the swarm intelligence is proposed. It makes the processes of tracing unstable periodic orbits, directing and mu...

We study classical and quantum dynamics of a particle in a circular billiard with a straight cut. Classically, this system can be integrable, nonintegrable with soft chaos, or nonintegrable with hard chaos as we vary the size of the cut. We plot Poincaré surfaces of section to study chaos. Quantum mechanically, we look at Husimi plots, and also use the quantum web, the technique primarily used ...

In this paper, the performance of some communication systems using chaos synchronization is evaluated and compared. A new channel model taking the attenuation, impedance mismatch and noise into account, is proposed for the performance evaluation. The evaluation of bit error rate is done for both ideal and non-ideal conditions using the channel model. It is confirmed that some chaos-based commun...

We introduce a novel approach for controlling fast chaos in time-delay dynamical systems and use it to control a chaotic photonic device with a characteristic time scale of approximately 12 ns. Our approach is a prescription for how to implement existing chaos-control algorithms in a way that exploits the system's inherent time delay and allows control even in the presence of substantial contro...

In this paper, four kinds of chaos mapping equations such as Logistic, Henon, Quadratic and MacKeyGlass were discussed, and the numerical characteristics of those chaos mapping equations were analyzed and compared by histogram and correlation coefficient. Then the better chaos encryption system was selected according to analyzing result, and the encryption method of poor chaos encryption system...

Robust chaos is defined as the absence of periodic windows and coexisting attractors in some neighborhood of the parameter space since the existence of such windows in the chaotic region implies fragility of the chaos. In this paper, we introduce a new terminology called robustification of chaos, which means creating robust chaos (in the sense of the above definition) in a dynamical system. As ...
