Spatio‐temporal co‐operative phenomena in CNN arrays composed of chaotic circuits—simulation experiments

This paper presents results of a simulation study of complex dynamic phenomena in arrays composed of interacting chaotic circuits. Such arrays can be thought of as a new paradigm for modelling non-linear phenomena in spatially extended (high-dimensional or infinite-dimensional) systems and active media with potential applications in signal processing. Depending on the connection structure between the cells, the array can show disorganized hyperchaotic behaviour or spatially ordered chaotic waves. Patterns of behaviour depending on the excitation of the array and the connection structure are studied in this paper. Chua circuits are taken as standard chaotic cells.
