Synchronization of spatiotemporal chaos in large scale rich-club network

Abstract

The Plankton spatiotemporal chaos system is taken as network node and constructed as a rich-club network through nonlinear coupling. The synchronization of spatiotemporal chaos for the above network is investigated. The general selection rule of nonlinear coupling function connecting nodes in the rich-club network is presented. Furthermore, the condition to realize the network synchronization is analyzed theoretically based on Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the synchronization effect of spatiotemporal chaos for the rich-club network is checked through artificial simulation. The results show that complete synchronization can be realized for all rich nodes in the rich-club network and all nodes in every subnetwork constructed in star-shape.
