BLENDING CHAOTIC ATTRACTORS USING THE SYNCHRONIZATION OF CHAOS

Building a source of low-dimensional chaotic signals with specified properties poses new challenges in the study of nonlinear systems. We address this problem using two synchronized asymmetrically coupled chaotic systems. As an uncoupled oscillator, each produces chaotic signals with distinctively different properties. The chaotic signal produced by the synchronized oscillators possesses properties intermediate with respect to the two original signals. The properties of this synthesized signal can be controlled by the ratio of the coupling parameters.
