Novel Applications of Stochastic Resonance and Spatiotemporal Chaos Control

Abstract

This research project studied the spatiotemporal and stochastic coupled arrays of nonlinear elements using an dynamics of systems comprised of experimental method employing analog VLSI hardware. This is part of an ongoing initiative in our nonlinear dynamics group to exploit the sophisticated and highly flexible technology of semiconductor electronics for studying fundamental problems in many degree of freedom dynamical systems. Under this AASERT grant, a set of research projects involving the various phenomena of stochastic resonance, mutual synchronization, and spatiotemporal chaos were designed and carried out by Brian Meadows, a graduate student in the School of Physics. Meadows is a U.S. citizen, and received his PhD from Georgia Tech this spring (June 1998). Funds from the grant paid Meadows' salary, the purchase of laboratory equipment and associated laboratory expenses, and travel costs associated with his attending scientific conferences.
