Synchronization Stability of Coupled Near-Identical Oscillator Network

Chaotic Dynamics 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

We derive variational equations to analyze the stability of synchronization for coupled near-identical oscillators. To study the effect of parameter mismatch on the stability in a general fashion, we define master stability equations and associated master stability functions, which are independent of the network structure. In particular, we present several examples of coupled near-identical Lorenz systems configured in small networks (a ring graph and sequence networks) with a fixed parameter mismatch and a large Barabasi-Albert scale-free network with random parameter mismatch. We find that several different network architectures permit similar results despite various mismatch patterns.
