文摘The collective behavior of coupled oscillators has been widely studied, owing to their relevance in a variety of areas such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Generally, complete synchronization (CS) is believed to be the strongest type of collective behavior, which implies that the oscillators behave in the same fashion. CS occurs to identical oscillators if their interactions are sufficiently strong, so that it is only a very specific behavior. More common is the collective behavior arising in small coupling, which is far from the condition of CS.
