Multistability Analysis and Function Projective Synchronization in Relay Coupled Oscillators

Regions of stability phases discovered in a general class of Genesio-Tesi chaotic oscillators are proposed. In a relatively large region of two-parameter space, the system has coexisting point attractors and limit cycles. The variation of two parameters is used to characterize the multistability by plotting the isospike diagrams for two nonsymmetric initial conditions. The parameters window in which the jerk system exhibits the unusual and striking feature of multiple attractors (e.g., coexistence of six disconnected periodic chaotic attractors and three-point attraction) is investigated. The second aspect of this study presents the synchronization of systems that act as mediators between two dynamical units that, in turn, show function projective synchronization (FPS) with each other. These are the so-called relay systems. In a wide range of operating parameters; this setup leads to synchronization between the outer circuits, while the relaying element remains unsynchronized. The results show that the coupled systems can achieve function projective synchronization in a determined time despite the unpredictability of the scaling function. In the coupling path, the outer dynamical systems show finite-time synchronization of their outputs, that is, displaying the same dynamics at exactly the same moment. Further, this effect is rather general and it has a wide range of applications where sustained oscillations should be retained for proper functioning of the systems. © 2018 Ahmad Taher Azar et al.
