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.

Global Analysis of Synchronization in Coupled Maps

Jürgen Jost and Kiran M. Kolwankar

Abstract

We introduce a new method for determining the global stability of synchronization in systems of coupled identical maps. The method is based on the study of invariant measures. We apply it here to the simplest non-trivial example, namely two symmetrically coupled tent maps. We thus identify the precise value of the coupling parameter where synchronizing and desynchronizing transitions take place.
