title: Synchronization of chaotic oscillators due to common delay time modulation.
abstract: We have found a synchronization behavior between two identical chaotic systems when their delay times are modulated by a common irregular signal. This phenomenon is demonstrated both in two identical chaotic maps whose delay times are driven by a common chaotic or random signal and in two identical chaotic oscillators whose delay times are driven by a signal of another chaotic oscillator. We analyze the phenomenon by using the Lyapunov exponents and discuss it in relation to generalized synchronization.
