Initials-Boosted Coexisting Chaos in a 2-D Sine Map and Its Hardware Implementation

When chaotic sequences are used in engineering applications, their oscillating amplitudes need to be adjusted nondestructively. To accommodate this issue, this article presents a simple 2-D sine map. It can not only generate the chaotic sequences with high complexity, but also boost the oscillating amplitudes by switching their initial states. To show the complex dynamics of the sine map, this article investigates its control parameters-related dynamical behaviors and initials-boosted coexisting bifurcations using numerical methods. The results demonstrate that the oscillating amplitudes of chaotic sequences generated by the sine map can be nondestructively controlled by switching their initial states. This makes the sine map more suitable for many chaos-based engineering applications. Furthermore, we develop a microcontroller-hardware test platform to implement the sine map. The experimental results show that the platform synchronously outputs multichannel initials-controlled chaotic sequences. We also design a pseudorandom number generator to explore the application of the sine map.
