The effects of noise on phase synchronization (PS) coupled chaotic oscillators are explored. In contrast to periodic oscillators, is found enhance significantly below the threshold PS. This constructive role has been verified experimentally with electrochemical electrodissolution Ni in sulfuric acid solution.
For many biological and engineered systems, a central function or design goal is to abbreviate the time required synchronize rhythmic process an external forcing signal. We present theory for deriving input that effectively minimizes average transient entrain phase model, which enables practical technique constructing fast entrainment waveforms general nonlinear oscillators. This result verified in numerical simulations using Hodgkin-Huxley neuron experiments on oscillatory electrochemical system.

Phase model analysis combined with calculus variation to derive which an achieved minimum power forcing signal. Optimal waveforms are calculated from phase response curve and solution balancing condition. The tested in chemical experiments oscillations close further away Hopf bifurcation exhibited sinusoidal higher harmonic nontrivial optimal waveforms, respectively.

We report numerical and experimental results indicating successful stabilization of unstable steady states periodic orbits in an electrochemical system. Applying a continuous delayed-feedback technique not only chaotic oscillations are suppressed via steady-state solutions but also the dynamics can be converted to behavior. In all cases feedback perturbation vanishes as target state is attained.

This noninvasive technique can be advantageous biological...
