title: Multiparameter estimation using only a chaotic time series and its applications.
abstract: An important extension to the techniques of synchronization-based parameter estimation is presented. Based on adaptive chaos synchronization, several methods are proposed to dynamically estimate multiple parameters using only a scalar chaotic time series. In comparison with previous schemes, the presented methods decrease the cost of parameter estimation and are more applicable in practice. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the presented methods. As an example application, an implementation of multichannel digital communication is proposed, where multiparameter modulation is used to simultaneously transmit more than one digital message. From a theoretical perspective, such an encoding increases the difficulty to directly read out the message from the transmitted signal and decreases the implementation cost.
