Abstract

We consider a master-slave pulse-coupled network of bifurcating integrate-and-fire circuits. The network exhibits in-phase chaotic synchronization and various periodic synchronization phenomena. In order to analyze these phenomena precisely, we derive a one-dimensional return map. Also using a simple test circuit, typical phenomena are demonstrated in the laboratory.
