Abstract

A new form of cluster synchronization is explored in cellular arrays of chaotic oscillators. Previously, it was shown in the literature that symmetries of the coupling topology with uniform interaction weights lead to several coexisting clusters of synchronized cells. In this study a new phenomenon is presented where highly asymmetric interaction weights can give rise to cluster synchronization regimes with partial synchronization. In addition, cluster or partial synchronization regimes corresponding to asymmetric interaction patterns can break the underlying symmetries of the network topology and boundary conditions at the expense of some residual synchronization error.
