Abstract

The onset of generalized synchronization of chaos in directionally coupled systems corresponds to the formation of a continuous mapping that enables one to persistently define the state of the response system from the trajectory of the drive system. A recently developed theory of generalized synchronization of chaos deals only with the case where this synchronization mapping is a single-valued function. In this paper, we explore generalized synchronization in a regime where the synchronization mapping can become a multivalued function. Specifically, we study the properties of the multivalued mapping that occurs between the drive and response systems when the systems are synchronized with a frequency ratio other than one-to-one, and address the issues of the existence and continuity of such mappings. The basic theoretical framework underlying the considered synchronization regimes is then developed.
