CLASSIFICATION OF SYNCHRONIZED STATES IN CNNS WITH HIGHER ORDER CELLS

The aim of this paper is to describe various types of syn-chronization phenomena discovered in our earlier studies of dynamics of Cellular Nonlinear Networks composed of lo-cally interconnected chaotic circuits. In our computer ex-periments we confirmed existence of many types of clusters of cells showing different dynamics, e.g. synchronized pe-riodic trajectories of different types, synchronized chaotic states; different lengths of synchronized clusters. Existence of synchronization and its type depends basically on the connection strengths. 1
