MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Synchronization analysis of linearly coupled systems described by differential equations with a coupling delay

Wenlian Lu, Tianping Chen and Guanron Chen

Abstract

When a transmission delay occurs in the interconnection of linearly coupled systems described by ordinary differential equations (LCODEs), both synchronization and the final synchronized state will vary. In this paper, mathematical analysis is presented on the synchronization phenomena of LCODEs with a single coupling delay. Criteria are derived for both local and global synchronization. It is known that addition to the dynamical behaviors of the underlying uncoupled system and the coupling configuration, the coupling strength and the coupling delay also play key roles on the stability of synchronization. Both theoretical and numerical analysis indicate that under some conditions, if the coupling strength is large enough, the coupled system can be completely synchronized for any coupling delays. On the other hand, in some case, the coupled system can be synchronized if the coupling delay is small enough.
