Transitions from partial to complete generalized synchronizations in bidirectionally coupled chaotic oscillators.
Generalized synchronization in an array of mutually (bidirectionally) coupled nonidentical chaotic oscillators is studied. Coupled Lorenz oscillators and coupled Lorenz-Rossler oscillators are adopted as our working models. With increasing the coupling strengths, the system experiences a cascade of transitions from the partial to the global generalized synchronizations, i.e., different oscillators are gradually entrained through a clustering process. This scenario of transitions reveals an intrinsic self-organized order in groups of interacting units, which generalizes the idea of generalized synchronizations in drive-response systems.
