Electronic implementation of a dynamical network with nearly identical hybrid nodes via unstable dissipative systems

Abstract

A circuit architecture is proposed and implemented for a dynamical network composed of a type of hybrid chaotic oscillator based on Unstable Dissipative Systems (UDS). The circuit architecture allows selecting a network topology with its link attributes and to study, experimentally, the practical synchronous collective behavior phenomena. Additionally, based on the theory of dynamical networks, a mathematical model of the circuit was described, taking into account the natural tolerance of the electronic components. The network is analyzed both numerically and experimentally according to the parameters mismatch between nodes.
