Abstract:
The phenomenon of emergent amplified response is reported in two unidirectionally coupled identical chaotic systems when heterogeneity as a parameter mismatch is introduced in a state of complete synchrony. The amplified response emerges from the interplay of heterogeneity and a type of cross-feedback coupling. It is reflected as an expansion of the response attractor in some directions in the state space of the coupled system. The synchronization manifold is simply rotated by the parameter detuning while its stability in the transverse direction is still maintained. The amplification factor is linearly related to the amount of parameter detuning. The phenomenon is elaborated with examples of the paradigmatic Lorenz system, the Shimizu-Morioka single-mode laser model, the Rössler system, and a Sprott system. Experimental evidence of the phenomenon is obtained in an electronic circuit. The method may provide an engineering tool for distortion-free amplification of chaotic signals.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
