The Origin of Non-chaotic Behavior in Identically Driven Systems

Abstract

Recently it has been found that different physical systems driven by identical random noise behave exactly identical after a long time. It is also suggested that this is an outcome of finite precision in numerical experiments. Here we show that the origin of the non-chaotic behavior lies in the structural instability of the attractor of these systems which changes to a stable fixed point for strong enough drive. We see this to be true in all the systems studied in literature. Thus we affirm that in chaotic systems, synchronization can not occur only by addition of noise unless the noise destroys the strange attractor and the system is no longer chaotic.
