Synchronization of chaotic units with time delayed bi-directional couplings — Anja Englert, •Sven Heiligenthal, and Wolfgang Kinzel — Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Universitität Würzburg, Germany

The synchronization of chaotic units with bi-directional coupling may have applications for public channel cryptography [1]. However, two chaotic units can only synchronize if a self-feedback is added which is carefully adjusted to the transmission time delay. We investigate two methods to overcome this severe restriction:

1. Multiple feedback delay times [2] and

2. three mutually coupled chaotic units.

Numerical and analytical model calculations show the parameter space for which complete synchronization is achievable.
