Dynamics of nonlinear time-delay systems

Synchronization of chaotic systems, a patently nonlinear phenomenon, has emerged as a highly active interdisciplinary research topic at the interface of physics, applied mathematics and engineering sciences. In this connection, time-delay systems described by delay differential equations have developed as a particularly suitable tool for modeling specific dynamical systems. Indeed, time-delay is ubiquitous in many physical systems due to finite switching speeds of amplifiers in electronic circuits, finite lengths of vehicles in traffic flows, finite signal propagation times in biological networks and circuits, and quite generally whenever memory effects are relevant. This monograph presents the foundations of chaotic time-delay systems and their synchronization with anemphasis on the effects of time-delay feedback which give rise to new collective dynamics. Special attention is devoted to scalar chaotic/hyperchaotic time-delay systems, including some higher order models, occurring in different branches of science and technology as well as to the synchronization of their coupled versions. Last but not least, the presentation as a whole strives for a balance between the necessarily mathematical description of the foundations andthe detailed presentation of real-world applications. Bridges a gap in the literature by providing an introduction to this specific subfield of chaotic dynamical systems Unique in the thorough presentation on scalar hyperchaotic (up to higher-order) time-delay systems Strives a balance between mathematical treatment and real-world applications INDICE: Delay Differential Equations.- Linear Stability and Bifurcation Analysis.- Bifurcation and Chaos in Time-delayed Piecewise Linear.- A Few Other Interesting Chaotic Delay Differential Equations.- Implications of Delay Feebdack: Amplitude Death and Other Effects.- Recent Developments on Delay Feedback/Coupling: Complex.- Complete Synchronization in Coupled Time-delay Systems.- Transition from Anticipatory to Lag Synchronization via Complete.- Intermittency Transition to Generalized Snychronization.- Transition from Phase to Generalized Synchronization.- DTM Induced Oscillating Synchronization.- Exact Solutions of Certain Time Delay Systems: The Car-following Models.- A Computing Lyapunov Exponents for Time-delay systems.- B A Brief Introduction to Synchronization in Chaotic Dynamical Systems.- C Recurrence Analysis.- References.- Glossary.- Index.
