Patterns of Chaos Synchronization
Wolfgang Kinzel
We investigate small networks of chaotic units which are coupled by their time-delayed variables. In spite of the time delay, the units can synchronize isochronally, i.e. without time shift. Moreover, networks can not only synchronize completely, but can also split into different synchronized sublattices. These synchronization patterns are stable attractors of the network dynamics. In this contribution we present different networks with their associated behaviors and synchronization patterns.
