Enhanced logical chaotic resonance

It was demonstrated recently that logical chaotic resonance (LCR) can be observed in a bistable system. In other words, the system can operate robustly as a specific logic gate in an optimal window of chaotic signal intensity. Here, we report that the size of the optimal window of chaotic signal intensity can be remarkably extended by exploiting the constructive interaction of chaotic signal and periodic force, as well as coupling, in a coupled bistable system. In addition, medium-frequency periodic force and an increasing system size can also lead to an improvement in the response speed of logic devices. The results are corroborated by circuit experiments. Taken together, a reliable and rapid-response logic operation can be realized based on periodic force- and array-enhanced LCR.
