Abstract
A chaotic trajectory can be synchronized with a desired unstable orbit (chaotic, periodic, or fixed point) by using a drive variable for which the response subsystem Lyapunov exponents (SLE’s) are negative. Unexpectedly, for the Lorenz and Rössler systems, the SLE’s obtained for synchronization with the fixed point showed good agreement with those obtained for chaotic orbits. For the Duffing oscillator, a similar agreement was found between the SLE’s of the chaotic orbit and those of the unstable period-six orbit. It is conjectured that the SLE’s of the chaotic orbit retain a memory of the periods of the orbit’s origin.

- Note that the total Lyapunov exponents for the chaotic orbits and the fixed points 2 and 3 are quite different. For the parameter values σ = 10, b = case 8 over 3, and r = 60, they are (1.37, 0.004, -15.04) and (0.72, 0.72, -15.10), respectively, where only the real parts of the Lyapunov exponents are given.
- Unlike the cases of the Lorenz and Rössler attractors, for the Duffing oscillator, the total Lyapunov exponents of the chaotic orbit and the period-six orbit show a reasonable agreement.
