The transition to anomalous behaviors is crucially dependent on asymmetries in the coupling configuration, while the presence of phase defects has the effect of enhancing the anomaly in frequency synchronization with respect to the case of merely time chaotic oscillators.}, language = {en} } @article{BoveBoccalettiBragardetal.2004, author = {Bove, I. and Boccaletti, Stefano and Bragard, Jean and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen and Mancini, H.}, title = {Frequency entrainment of nonautonomous chaotic oscillators}, year = {2004}, abstract = {We give evidence of frequency entrainment of dominant peaks in the chaotic spectra of two coupled chaotic nonautonomous oscillators. At variance with the autonomous case, the phenomenon is here characterized by the vanishing of a previously positive Lyapunov exponent in the spectrum, which takes place for a broad range of the coupling strength parameter. Such a state is studied also for the case of chaotic oscillators with ill-defined phases due to the absence of a unique center of rotation. Different phase synchronization indicators are used to circumvent this difficulty}, language = {en} }
