Synchronization and Chaotization of Oscillations in Coupled Self-Oscillating Systems

Abstract

The effects of synchronization of chaotic and periodic self-oscillation systems are discussed. Two mechanisms of synchronization of periodic systems which manifest themselves at synchronization of chaotic systems are determinated. Examples of synchronization of chaotic systems by harmonic external force, mutual synchronization of periodic and chaotic systems, as well as of mutual synchronization of two and more chaotic systems are discussed.
