Generation of Synchronous Unpredictable Oscillations by Coupled Hopfield Neural Networks

A new criterion based on generalized synchronization is provided for the extension of unpredictable oscillations among coupled Hopfield neural networks (HNNs). It is shown that if a drive HNN possesses an unpredictable oscillation, then a response HNN also possesses such an oscillation provided that they are synchronized in the generalized sense. Extension of unpredictability in coupled 4D HNNs are exemplified with simulations. The auxiliary system approach and conditional Lyapunov exponents are utilized to demonstrate the presence of synchronization.
