Phase synchronization of the sunspot cycle and the SIM is found and statistically confirmed in three epochs (1734-1790, 1855-1875 and 1907-1960) of the whole period 1700-2000. These results give quantitative support to the hypothesis that there is a weak interaction between the solar activity and the SIM.}, language = {en} } @article{PalusKurthsSchwarzetal.2001, author = {Palus, Milan and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen and Schwarz, Udo and Novotn{\´a}, Dagmar and Charv{\´a}tov{\´a}, Ivanka}, title = {Is the solar activity cycle synchronized with the solar inertial motion?}, year = {2001}, abstract = {The 300 year record of the yearly sunspot numbers and numerically generated trajectory of the solar inertial motion (SIM) were subjects of a synchronization analysis.
