Hyperchaos, clustering and cooperative phenomena in CNN arrays composed of chaotic circuits

This paper presents a study of complex dynamic phenomena in arrays composed of interacting chaotic circuits. Such arrays are thought of as a new paradigm for signal processing. Depending on the connection strength between the cells the array can show disorganised hyperchaotic behavior or organised in a specific way coherent behavior which might be useful in information processing. Patterns of behavior depending on coupling values are studied in this paper. Chua´s circuits are taken as standard chaotic cells.
