title: Synchronizing chaotic maps using an arbitrary scalar signal.
abstract: A method we call the slide-and-match algorithm is presented whereby any transmitter-receiver pair of identical, chaotic maps may be synchronized using almost any scalar function of the driving transmitter state, transmitted to the receiver as the synchronizing signal. No prior investigation of either the map or the signal generating function is required. In order to illustrate the concepts, numerical simulations of applications are presented.
