SPATIOTEMPORAL COOPERATIVE PHENOMENA IN CNN ARRAYS COMPOSED OF CHAOTIC CIRCUITS - SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS

This paper presents results of a simulation study of complex dynamic p henomena in arrays composed of interacting chaotic circuits. Such arra ys can be thought of as a new paradigm for modelling non-linear phenom ena in spatially extended (high-dimensional or infinite-dimensional) s ystems and active media with potential applications in signal processi ng. Depending on the connection structure between the cells, the array can show disorganized hyperchaotic behaviour or spatially ordered cha otic waves, Patterns of behaviour depending on the excitation of the a rray and the connection structure are studied in this paper. Chua circ uits are taken as standard chaotic cells.
