Nonlinearly driven transverse synchronization in coupled chaotic systems (Q2565760)

The authors investigate the synchronization transition in coupled chaotic maps. In particular, they argue that there exist two different scenarios for the transition depending on the ``relative weight of linear and nonlinear instability mechanisms associated to the single map''. In the case of strong nonlinearities, finite amplitude instabilities should be taken into account. As an example, a one-dimensional lattice of chaotic maps with power-law coupling is considered.
