CAREER: Communicating with Chaos

非线性动力学和混沌的研究在科学和工程的许多学科中有着重要的应用。 该提案的研究部分集中在一个问题上：具有混沌的非线性数字通信，这在科学中具有根本重要性，并且在现代经济和国家安全中发挥着极其重要的作用的数字通信中具有重要的应用。 具体而言，我们计划研究利用混沌传输数字信息的通信的基本理论，并开发设计混沌信息源的实用算法。 非线性数字通信设备的潜在优点包括更高的效率、重量轻、紧凑、更大的信息承载能力、更多的通信信道、低成本制造、低截获和检测概率。 教育部分强调本科生和研究生教学的积极和创新的方法，以及研究生的扎实训练。 这个NSF职业奖，这是由物理学和实验计划，以模拟竞争性研究（EPSCoR）计划在堪萨斯部门的支持，将提供一个支持基础，在前沿跨学科科学启动一个重要的新领域。 PI的长期职业目标是在堪萨斯大学建立一个强大的非线性科学研究和教育计划。

The study of nonlinear dynamics and chaos has had significant applications to a large variety of disciplines in science and engineering. The research component of this proposal focuses on one problem: nonlinear digital communication with chaos, which is of fundamental importance in science, and has significant applications to digital communication that plays an extremely important role in a modern economy and in national security. Specifically, we plan to investigate the fundamental theory of utilizing chaos to transmit digital information for communication and to develop practical algorithms for designing chaotic information sources. The potential advantages of nonlinear digital communication devices include greater efficiency, light weight, compactness, greater information-bearing capacity, greater number of communication channels, low-cost manufacturing, low probability of interception and detection. The education component emphasizes on vigorous and innovative methods of undergraduate and graduate teaching, and solid training of graduate students on research. This NSF Career Award, which is supported by the Division of Physics and the Experimental Program to Simulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Program in Kansas, will provide a supporting base for initiating an important new area in frontier interdisciplinary science. The PI's long-term career goal is to establish a strong research and education program on nonlinear science at the University of Kansas.
