Chaos Pass Filter: Linear Response of Synchronized Chaotic Systems

Abstract

The linear response of synchronized chaotic units with delayed couplings and feedback to small external perturbations is investigated in the context of communication with chaos synchronization. For iterated chaotic maps, the distribution of distances is calculated numerically and, for some special cases, analytically as well. Depending on model parameters, this distribution has power law tails leading to diverging moments of distances in the region of synchronization. The corresponding linear equations have multiplicative and additive noise due to perturbations and chaos. The response to small harmonic perturbations shows resonances related to coupling and feedback delay times. For perturbation from a binary message the bit error rate is calculated. The bit error rate is not related to the transverse Lyapunov exponents, and it can be reduced when additional noise is added to the transmitted signal. For some special cases, the bit error rate as a function of coupling strength has the structure of a devil's staircase, related to an iterated function system. Finally, the security of communication is discussed by comparing uni- and bi-directional couplings.

Trigonometric Nosé--Hoover oscillator: chaos, periodic orbits and integrability

We introduce a trigonometric version of the Nosé-Hoover oscillator in which the quadratic mechanical terms and unbounded thermostat coupling are replaced by bounded trigonometric functions. This formulation replaces the harmonic potential by a pendulum-type potential and confines the thermostat interaction to a bounded periodic form. The resulting two-parameter system is naturally defined on the three-dimensional torus and reduces near the origin, to leading order, to the classical polynomial Nosé-Hoover model. We investigate its global dynamics using Poincaré sections, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov spectra, Kaplan-Yorke dimensions, and the Lyapunov Integrability Test (LIT). The numerical results reveal the coexistence of regular and chaotic dynamics and characterize changes in dissipative behavior across the parameter plane. We then analyze the two limiting cases associated with the parameter axes. For $a=0$, we construct two functionally independent first integrals on regular domains, whereas for $b=0$ the dynamics reduces to a family of two-dimensional systems on invariant tori, which are analyzed using Darboux polynomials and exponential factors. First-order averaging near the intersection of these integrable limits yields periodic solutions bifurcating from unperturbed periodic orbits and an obstruction to regular $C^1$ first integrals in their neighborhoods. Independently, differential Galois theory applied to the normal variational equation, together with the Ayoul-Zung and Li-Shi criteria, excludes meromorphic $B$-integrability and non-constant meromorphic first integrals near a particular non-equilibrium phase curve for $ab\neq0$. Thus, despite retaining the local structure of the classical Nosé-Hoover oscillator, its trigonometric counterpart exhibits markedly different global dynamics and integrability.

Experimental detection of energy transfer into the antiphase mode in a branched double pendulum

Multiple pendulum with branching is proposed as a convenient platform to study energy transfer between different modes. The antiphase oscillation mode is localized to the "child" links, which makes it easy to prepare initial conditions without exciting the antiphase mode. A manageable expression for the energy transfer is derived theoretically and evaluated with experimental data.

A New Route to Chaos through the Geometric Composition of Non-Normal Amplification

Chaos emerges when stretching is repeatedly recycled by reinjection. We uncover a new route to chaos in which the decisive variable is the temporal order of non-normal tangent maps: periodic and chaotic states can share essentially the same one-step stretching statistics while their ordered products acquire opposite Lyapunov growth. We introduce the ordered-product growth rate $h_L$ over $L$ successive tangent maps, which reveals how states indistinguishable at one step separate under geometric composition and identifies the finite composition scale at which chaos emerges. We use this mechanism to establish a new form of global chaos control: minute phase actions reorient the successive non-normal amplification directions so that their geometric composition becomes contracting, suppressing chaos at fixed dissipation without reducing local amplification or targeting a preselected orbit.
