RESUMEN
Understanding the dynamics of complex systems defined in the sense of Caputo, such as fractional differences, is crucial for predicting their behavior and improving their functionality. In this paper, the emergence of chaos in complex dynamical networks with indirect coupling and discrete systems, both utilizing fractional order, is presented. The study employs indirect coupling to produce complex dynamics in the network, where the connection between the nodes occurs through intermediate fractional order nodes. The temporal series, phase planes, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponent are considered to analyze the inherent dynamics of the network. Analyzing the spectral entropy of the chaotic series generated, the complexity of the network is quantified. As a final step, we demonstrate the feasibility of implementing the complex network. It is implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), which confirms its hardware realizability.
RESUMEN
In this work, the problem of master-slave outer synchronization in different inner-outer network topologies is presented. Specifically, the studied inner-outer network topologies are coupled in master-slave configuration, where some particular scenarios concerning inner-outer topologies are addressed in order to disclose a suitable coupling strength to achieve outer synchronization. The novel MACM chaotic system is used as a node in the coupled networks, which presents robustness in its bifurcation parameters. Extensive numerical simulations are presented where the stability of the inner-outer network topologies is analyzed through a master stability function approach.
