Adaptive coupling for achieving stable synchronization of chaos.
We consider synchronization of coupled chaotic systems and propose an adaptive strategy that aims at evolving the strength of the coupling to achieve stability of the synchronized evolution. We test this idea in a simple configuration in which two chaotic systems (a sender and a receiver) are unidirectionally coupled and we study the conditions for the receiver to adaptively synchronize with the sender. Numerical simulations show that, under certain conditions, our strategy is successful in dynamically evolving the coupling strength until it converges to a value that is compatible with synchronization.
