Synchronization effects in multiplex networks of chaotic maps with memristive interlayer coupling

Models of two-layer multiplex networks of one-dimensional maps with memristive interlayer coupling are studied. In the absence of coupling, the layers exhibit different types of chimera states. Two types of maps are considered as the elements of networks: modified Ricker maps and cubic maps. The effects of complete and partial synchronization of the spatiotemporal dynamics of layers are observed in the case of a homogeneous and inhomogeneous network, respectively. The dependence of the synchronization threshold for the coupling parameter on the initial states of the memristors has been established. This dependence is partially preserved in the case of non-ideal memristors. Diagrams of the synchronization error are constructed on the plane of the initial state variable of memristors and the interlayer coupling coefficient. The effect of noise in memristive coupling elements on synchronization is considered.
