Switching synchronization states of a ring of coupled chaotic circuits with one-direction delay effects

Synchronization states can be observed in coupled circuits. Further, interesting synchronization states were confirmed in coupled chaotic circuits containing time delay. In this study, we investigate the novel coupling methods and synchronization states observed in coupled chaotic circuits containing time delay. The novel coupling methods is a ring of coupled chaotic circuits with one-direction delay effects. Synchronization state observed the novel coupling methods is switching synchronization state. The switching synchronization state is changed by time delay of each subcircuit. We focus on relationships between switching synchronization state and the pattern of time delay. Moreover, we investigate the cycle of switching synchronization state.
