Simulation of ideal material blocks using cellular automata
We consider deterministic and probabilistic cellular automata to study and describe certain types of patterns in idealized material blocks. We have particular interest in patterns similar to fractures. The int...

Using Couplings to Suppress Chaos and Produce a Population Stabilisation Strategy
The chaotic behaviour of dynamical systems can be suppressed if we couple them in some way. In order to do that, the coupling strengths must assume particular values. We illustrate it for the situation that le...

Open AccessFull command of a network by a new node: some results and examples
We consider that a network of chaotic identical dynamical systems is connected to a new node. Depending on some properties of the network and on the way that connection is made, the new node may control the ne...

Full-Commanding a Network: The Dictator
A network of chaotic dynamical systems may synchronize. For some networks there is the possibility that, coupling a new node to the network, the synchronization will be commanded by that new node. That possibi...

Article
Complete synchronization and delayed synchronization in couplings
We consider a general coupling of two identical chaotic dynamical systems, and we obtain the conditions for synchronization. We consider two types of synchronization: complete synchronization and delayed synch...
