Synchronization and control of coupled ginzburg-landau equations using local coupling
In this paper we discuss the properties of a recently introduced coupling scheme for spatially extended systems based on local spatially averaged coupling signals [see Z. Tasev et al., Int. J. Bifurcation Chaos Appl. Sci. Eng. (to be published); and L. Junge et al., Int. J. Bifurcation Chaos Appl. Sci. Eng. 9, 2265 (1999)]. Using the Ginzburg-Landau model, we performed an extensive numerical examination of this coupling scheme, i.e., a complete scan through the relevant coupling parameters. Furthermore, we demonstrate suppression and control of spatiotemporal chaos, e.g., stabilizing the homogeneous steady state and spatially localized control. As an application all model parameters of the Ginzburg-Landau equation are estimated given only the local information of the system.
