Dealing with final state sensitivity for synchronous communication

We show di2erences ofthe synchronization basins oftwo Matsumoto-Chua’s circuit (operating in either the R6 ossler-type attractor regime or the Double-Scroll-type attractor regime), coupled unidirectionally or bidirectionally through a negative feed-back controller. The knowledge of the structure ofthe synchronization basins allows one to design a communication system robust to imperfections on the setting of the initial condition. c � 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
