In this paper, we discuss the Lyapunov exponent definition of chaos and how it can be used to quantify the chaotic behavior of a system. We derive a way to practically calculate the Lyapunov exponent of a one-dimensional system and use it…
We present an index for the local sensitivity of spatiotemporal structures in coupled oscillatory systems based on the asymptotic scaling of local-in-space, finite-time Lyapunov Exponents. For a system of nonlocally-coupled R\"{o}ssler…
Many real-world dynamics exhibit chaos, a phenomenon in which neighboring trajectories in the state space of a dynamical system diverge exponentially over time. A common measure used for quantifying the degree of this divergence is the…
Local bifurcations of stationary points and limit cycles have successfully been characterized in terms of the critical exponents of these solutions. Lyapunov exponents and their associated covariant Lyapunov vectors have been proposed as…

Synchronized chaos has previously been predicted and observed in a small number (3) of mutually coupled lasers. In this work, we demonstrate that this phenomenon can theoretically persist in significantly broader scenarios, extending to…

A new method based on the phenomenon of synchronization and the properties of chaos is proposed to reduce interference in the transferred chaotic signals of synchronized systems. In this paper, the interference is considered as a series of…
We show two examples of noise--induced synchronization. We study a 1-d map and the Lorenz systems, both in the chaotic region. For each system we give numerical evidence that the addition of a (common) random noise, of large enough…
We study the variation of Lyapunov exponents of simple dynamical systems near attractor-widening and attractor-merging crises. The largest Lyapunov exponent has universal behaviour, showing abrupt variation as a function of the control…
A one-dimensional chain of sporadic maps with asymmetric nearest neighbour couplings is numerically studied. It is shown that in the region of strong asymmetry the system becomes spatially fully synchronized, even in the thermodinamic…
We study the coherent dynamics of globally coupled maps showing macroscopic chaos. With this term we indicate the hydrodynamical-like irregular behaviour of some global observables, with typical times much longer than the times related to…
The synchronization behavior of networked chaotic oscillators with periodic coupling is investigated. It is observed in simulations that the network synchronizability could be significantly influenced by tuning the coupling frequency, even…
We propose a mechanism which produces periodic variations of the degree of predictability in dynamical systems. It is shown that even in the absence of noise when the control parameter changes periodically in time, below and above the…
