Abstract:
Experimental phase synchronization of chaos is demonstrated for two different chaotic oscillators: a plasma discharge and the Chua circuit. Our technique includes real-time capability for observing synchronization-desynchronization transitions. This capability results from a strong combination of synchronization and control, and allows tuning adjustments for search and stabilization of synchronous states. A power law is observed for the mean time between 2pi phase slips for different coupling strenghts. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical simulations.

A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...
