Phase synchronization of coupled chaotic multiple time scales systems

Abstract

The brushless dc motor (BLDCM) with multi-time scales is an electric machine. By coupled BLDCM, it is discovered that chaotic routes of the uncoupled systems influence synchronous result of coupled identical and nonidentical chaotic systems. Another multi-time scales form, Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neurons, when the chaotic parameter is selected only in the range of the period-doubling route to chaos, phase synchronization can be predicted via Laypunov exponent. Finally, Laypunov exponent however cannot be used as a criterion for phase synchronization of coupled chaotic systems with either single or multi-time scales in our study. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
