New approach to synchronization analysis of linearly coupled ordinary differential systems.
(English)
[J] Physica D 213, No. 2, 214-230 (2006). ISSN 0167-2789

The authors consider the following linearly coupled system of ordinary differential equations $$\frac{dx_i(t)}{dt} = f(x_i(t),t)+\sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{ij}\Gamma x_j(t), \quad i=1,\dots,n,$$ where $x_i(t)\in \bbfR^n$, $A=(a_{ij})\in \bbfR^{n\times n}$ is the coupling matrix with $a_{ij}\ge 0$ for $i\ne j$, and $\Gamma = \mathrm{diag}\{ \gamma_1,\gamma_2,\dots,\gamma_n\}$ with $\gamma_i>0$. The main result of the paper is a number of criteria for synchronization of the above system, i.e., for the stability of the invariant subspace $S=\{x: x_i=x_j, i\ne j\}$. Using Lyapunov function approach, conditions for global synchronization are given. Presented criteria for local synchronization are mathematically rigorous reformulation of the so-called master stability function approach [{\it L. M. Pecora, T. L. Carroll, G. A. Johnson, D. J. Mar} and {\it J. F. Heagy}, Chaos 7, 520--543 (1997; Zbl 0933.37030)]. The paper presents two examples of linearly coupled neural networks.
