General approach for chaotic synchronization with applications to communication

Publisher Summary A general approach for constructing chaotic synchronized dynamical systems is discussed that is based on a decomposition of given systems into active and passive parts. As a possible application the chapter considers an improved encoding method where the information signal is injected into the dynamical system of the transmitter. Furthermore, it highlights how to design in a systematic way high-dimensional synchronized systems that may be used for efficient hyperchaotic encoding of information. Synchronization of periodic signals is a well-known phenomenon in physics, engineering, and many other scientific disciplines.
