Research on Nonlinear Dynamics with Defense Applications

Abstract

The objectives of this project are: (1) inducing chaos in electronic circuits, and (2) anti-jamming with stochastic resonance. In close collaboration with AFRL scientists, we developed a general scheme to experimentally induce robust chaotic attractors in electronic circuits (Objective 1). For Objective 2, we discovered a measure to characterize stochastic resonance that has much higher sensitivity to noise variations than all existing measures. We expect it to be useful in various applications. In addition, we obtained interesting results on a number of related topics in nonlinear dynamics. The outcomes of the project are 36 papers published in, accepted by, or submitted to, refereed journals (including 5 papers published in Physical Review Letters). During the project period, 3 Ph.D. and 7 Master's students graduated under the supervision of the PI, and over 30 invited talks were given by the PI all over the world on the proposed research and related topics.
