Synchronization of Chaotic Circuits with Stochastically-Coupled Network Topology

In recent years, research on synchronization between coupled chaotic circuits has attracted interest in a wide range of fields. This is because the synchronization of coupled chaotic circuits is a multidisciplinary phenomenon that occurs in various applications, such as broadband communication systems or secure communication. In this study, we propose a coupled chaotic circuit network model with stochastic couplings. We investigate the synchronization phenomena observed for the proposed network using different network structures such as fully-coupled, random, small world and scale-free networks. We find that the same synchronization characteristics can be obtained for these networks with a dynamic topology as when the coupling strength is changed in static networks.
