Abstract This paper presents a new scheme to achieve generalized synchronization (GS) between different discrete-time chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems. The approach is based on a theorem, which assures that GS is achieved when a structural condition on the considered class of response systems is satisfied. The method presents some useful features:it enables exact GS to be achieved in finite time (i.e., dead-beat synchronization); it is rigorous, systematic, and straightforward in checking GS; it can be applied to a wide class of chaotic maps. Some examples of GS, including the Grassi-Miller map and a recently introduced minimal 2-D quadratic map, are illustrated.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
