Analysis of regularization processes in an ensemble of coupled chaotic oscillators

We study how the collective dynamics of an ensemble of active coupled elements depends on the number of connections between them. We use Chua’s nonlinear oscillators as elements of this ensemble and assume nonlinear coupling. Regularization and suppression of oscillations in the transition from global to local coupling are examined.
