TL;DR

Synchronization among globally coupled, chaotic map lattices can be related to stable periodic windows in isolated chaotic maps, which provides a simple predictive tool for the understanding of complicated behavior in coupled physical, chemical and biological systems.

Abstract

Synchronization among globally coupled, chaotic map lattices can be related to stable periodic windows in isolated chaotic maps. This relation provides a simple predictive tool for the understanding of complicated behavior in coupled physical, chemical and biological systems.

The relationship between the model and real communities of biological oscillators is discussed; examples include populations of synchronously flashing fireflies, crickets that chirp in unison, electrically synchronous pacemaker cells, and groups of women whose menstrual cycles become mutually synchronized.

It is proposed that self-entraining communities of this sort may exist within individual metazoan animals and plants as the basis of the observed diurnal coordination of their physiological process.

Bifurcation theory is used to discuss the role that symmetry plays in determining the form and the stability of these oscillations, and it is found that arbitrarily large, dc-biased, arrays of Josephson junctions will phase lock most strongly when the capacitance parameter ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{c}$1 and the bias current is about the same as the critical current of the individual junctions.

It is shown that, for sufficiently large clusters, the cells both synchronize and begin to burst with moderate, physiologically reasonable gap junctional conductance, and an unexpected finding is that the burst period is longer, and calcium amplitude greater, than when coupling is infinitely strong.

The finite coherence length of the chaotic state in the presence of weak noise is calculated and this state is associated with the appearance of a gap at zero wave number in the spectrum of the linear operator describing the fluctuations about the uniform state.

The analysis of the stability matrix shows that period doubling bifurcation occurs when an eigenvalue whose eigenvector has a structure with doubled spatial period exceeds unity.
