Diversity-induced coherence resonance in spatially extended chaotic systems.
The effect of parameter diversity on coupled Chua systems is investigated. In the absence of diversity, the systems jump back and forth between two variable domains of a chaotic attractor, and the residence times within a single domain are uncertain. By introducing parameter diversity, a combined numerical and analytical approach indicates that the systems can jump regularly from one domain to another at an intermediate range of diversity, a signature of coherence resonance. Furthermore, the influences of coupling strength and the number of units are also considered. Our results provide a possibility for the control of chaos in spatially extended chaotic systems by the manipulation of parameter diversity.
