Abstract:
We investigate cluster synchronization in coupled map networks in the presence of heterogeneous delays. We find that while the parity of heterogeneous delays plays a crucial role in determining the mechanism of cluster formation, the cluster synchronizability of the network gets affected by the amount of heterogeneity. In addition, heterogeneity in delays induces a rich cluster pattern as compared to homogeneous delays. The complete bipartite network stands as an extreme example of this richness, where robust ideal driven clusters observed for the undelayed and homogeneously delayed cases dismantle, yielding versatile cluster patterns as heterogeneity in the delay is introduced. We provide arguments behind this behavior using a Lyapunov function analysis. Furthermore, the interplay between the number of connections in the network and the amount of heterogeneity plays an important role in deciding the cluster formation.

To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
