Synchronization of chaotic systems, a patently nonlinear phenomenon, has emerged as a highly active interdisciplinary research topic at the interface of physics, biology, applied mathematics and engineering sciences. In this connection, time-delay systems described by delay differential equations have developed as particularly
suitable tools for modeling specific dynamical systems. Indeed, time-delay is ubiquitous in many physical systems, for example due to finite
switching speeds of amplifiers in electronic circuits, finite lengths of vehicles in traffic flows, finite signal propagation times in biological networks and circuits, and quite generally whenever memory effects are relevant.

This monograph presents the basics of chaotic time-delay systems and their synchronization with an emphasis on the effects of time-delay feedback which give rise to new collective dynamics.
Special attention is devoted to scalar chaotic/hyperchaotic time-delay
systems, and some higher order models, occurring in different branches of science and technology as well as to the synchronization of their coupled versions.

Last but not least, the presentation as a whole strives for a balance between the necessary mathematical description of the basics
and the detailed presentation of real-world applications.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The main emphasis of this book is on chaotic dynamics and synchronization in delay-differential equations with a particular emphasis on coupled systems. ... This book would serve as a good starting point for anyone wanting to explore further the research topics presented. In particular, it is a good introduction to topics and questions in delay-differential equations mostly explored by physicists and the considerable literature in physics journals that has emerged in recent years." (Pietro-Luciano Buono, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 d)

"The book is well organized and presents the most important classical and modern essentials of chaotic time delay systems and synchronization. It is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as practical engineers and researchers interested in dynamics of nonlinear time-delay systems and synchronization." (Seenith Sivasundaram, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1230, 2012)
