Abstract

Some criteria for the local activity theory in two-port cellular neural network cells with three local state variables are applied to a coupled Lorenz-cell model. The numerical simulation exhibited that emergence may exist if the selected cell parameters are nearby or on the edge of chaos domain. The local activity theory has provided a new tool of studying the complexity of high dimensional coupled nonlinear physical systems.
