Figure 1: Overview of the network of chaotic oscillators, their generated waveforms and synchronization behaviors. (IMAGE)
Caption
a) Topology of the network and node circuit diagram, b) Waveforms of a single node operating in periodic (top-left) and chaotic regions (bottom-left) followed by waveforms of two coupled nodes that are unsynchronized (top-right) and synchronized (bottom-right). c) Average synchronization across the entire network under the control of the coupling strength and a parameter that influences the dynamics of the circuit. The regions where the network is unsynchronized (blue), incompletely synchronized (yellow) and completely synchronized (red) are shown. A broad region of incomplete synchronization, when the network is operating near the edge of chaos, can be observed. Furthermore, the synchronization matrix in the region of incomplete synchronization shows the emergence of preferential entrainment between some node pairs with respect to others.
