Abstract
Chaotic synchronization has been observed experimentally and numerical ly in arrays of Chua's circuits, arranged in both linear and ring geom etries, that are coupled by using the method recently introduced by Gu emez and Matias [Phys. Rev. E52, R2145 (1995)]. For open linear geomet ries, the chaotic cells are seen to synchronize consecutively as a syn chronization wave spreads through the array. Instead, for circular loo ps it is found that there is a critical number of cells above which th e uniform synchronized state is not stable.
