Striped attractor generation and synchronization analysis for coupled Rössler systems

A model of networked chaotic Rössler systems with periodic couplings is discussed. New phenomena, including individual attractors in striped rectangular shapes and partial synchronization (or clustering), are shown for these locally coupled systems. Coupling-induced attractors with multiple stripes can be easily controlled by coupling parameters. Moreover, various interconnection topologies are also taken into consideration in the synchronization analysis, and dynamical behaviors of the coupled systems are illustrated by numerical results.
