PARTIAL SYNCHRONIZATION OF DIFFUSIVELY COUPLED CHUA SYSTEMS: AN EXPERIMENTAL CASE STUDY

In this paper partial synchronization of diffusively coupled Chua systems is presented. Partial synchronization is defined as the situation where some circuits synchronize with each other, while others do not. An experimental setup, consisting of maximal four Chua circuits operating in the double scroll regime, is used to show the existence of linear invariant manifolds corresponding to the partial synchronized state.
