Abstract: | In this paper, partial synchronization (PaS) in networks of coupled chaotic oscillator systems and synchronization in sparsely
coupled spatiotemporal systems are explored. For the PaS, we reveal that the existence of PaS patterns depends on the symmetry
property of the network topology, while the emergence of the PaS pattern depends crucially on the stability of the corresponding
solution. An analytical criterion in judging the stability of PaS state on a given network are proposed in terms of a comparison
between the Lyapunov exponent spectrum of the PaS manifold and that of the transversal manifold. The competition and selections
of the PaS patterns induced by the presence of multiple topological symmetries of the network are studied in terms of the
criterion. The phase diagram in distinguishing the synchronous and the asynchronous states is given. The criterion in judging
PaS is further applied to the study of synchronization of two sparsely coupled spatiotemporal chaotic systems. Different synchronization
regimes are distinguished. The present study reveals the intrinsic collective bifurcation of coupled dynamical systems prior
to the emergence of global synchronization. |
