A Study of Partial Synchronization in Networks of Delay-Coupled Systems KU Leuven
This thesis studies partial synchronization in networks of delay-coupled systems. Partial synchronization refers to the phenomenon that coupled systems can be grouped into clusters such that synchrony is only observed within each cluster. The coupling considered here contains a time-delay. A pattern of partial synchronization can be characterized by a partial synchronization manifold which is a linear invariant subspace of the state space of the ...
