Abstract

Synchronization of spatiotemporal chaos is studied using the method of variable feedback with coupled map lattices as model systems. A variety of feedback functions are introduced and the diversity in their choices for synchronizing any given system is exemplified. Synchronization in the presence of noise and with sporadic feedback is also presented.
