Chaotic oscillators

The behavior of the Pierce diode has been considered from the point of view of the spatial Lyapunov exponents. The method of calculation of the spectrum of the spatial Lyapunov exponents for the electron spatial extended systems has been proposed. The autonomous dynamics of the Pierce diode as well as the behavior of two unidirectionally coupled Pierce diodes when the generalized synchronization is taken place have been considered.

In this paper the results of the study of the intermittent behavior taking place near the phase synchronization boundary on the different time scales of the observation are given. It has been shown that below the phase synchronization boundary, in the area of eyelet intermittency there are time scales where the ring intermittency is also observed. In other words, for the certain values of the coupling strength and time scale of observation both types of the intermittent behavior take place simultaneously. In this paper the theory of this type of the intermittent behavior is developed.

The behavior of the boundary of generalized synchronization in two unidirectionally coupled chaotic oscillators depending on the value of the control parameter mismatch between interacting systems has been studied. Peculiarities in its behavior in the field of the relatively large values of the control parameter mistuning have been found. The character of this behavior and physical mechanisms resulting in the generalized synchronization regime onset in such systems have been explained by the analysis of the spectral compound of signal from response system.
