Anticipatory synchronization with variable time delay and reset

Abstract

A method to synchronize two chaotic systems with anticipation or lag, coupled in the drive response mode, is proposed. The coupling involves variable delay with three time scales. The method has the advantage that synchronization is realized with intermittent information about the driving system at intervals fixed by a reset time. The stability of the synchronization manifold is analyzed with the resulting discrete error dynamics. The numerical calculations in standard systems such as the Rossler and Lorenz systems are used to demonstrate the method and the results of the analysis.
