The chaos induced by an intrinsic spontaneous-emission noise in an optically injected semiconductor laser is investigated through a single-mode injection model. A method is developed to quantitatively study the scale-dependent noise effect in general, and the noise-induced chaotic feature in particular. We find that noise at an experimentally measured level can induce chaos in the system. This ...

Nearly thirty years of chaos research have shown that chaos is an ubiquitous phenomenon. Almost any dynamical system with a sufficiently large phase space described by nonlinear equations shows some kind of complexity in its time evolution, i.e. chaos. The degree of complexity is measured by topological entropy, Lyapunov exponents, decay of correlations, and, in the case of dissipative systems,...

Domain-wall free energy sigmaF, entropy sigmaS, and the correlation function C(temp) of sigmaF are measured independently in the four-dimensional +/-J Edwards-Anderson (EA) Ising spin glass. The stiffness exponent theta, the fractal dimension of domain walls d(s), and the chaos exponent zeta are extracted from the finite-size scaling analysis of sigmaF, sigmaS, and C(temp), respectively, well i...

Criterion for choosing chaos map to drive image bit permutation based on chaos permutation information entropy is proposed. An algorithm for image bit permutation is designed based on the fact that the output trajectory of chaotic system is very unpredictable. Image smallest granularity scrambling, namely, bit space maximum scrambling is implemented by applying the chaos that has been selected....
