Synchronization and Control of Spatiotemporal Chaos using Time-Series Data from Local Regions

In this paper we show that the analysis of the dynamics in localized regions, i.e., sub-systems can be used to characterize the chaotic dynamics and the synchronization ability of the spatiotemporal systems. Using noisy scalar time-series data for driving along with simultaneous self-adaptation of the control parameter representative control goals like suppressing spatiotemporal chaos and synchronization of spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics have been discussed.
