| Summary: | Synchronization is one of the most important
emerging collective behaviors in nature, which results from
the interaction in groups of organisms. In this paper, network
synchronization of discrete-time dynamical systems is studied. In
particular, network synchronization with fireflies oscillators like
nodes is achieved by using complex systems theory. Different cases
of interest on network synchronization are studied, including for
a large number of fireflies oscillators; we consider synchronization
in small-world networks and outer synchronization among
different coupled networks topologies; for all presented cases,
we provide appropriate ranges of values for coupling strength
and extensive numerical simulations are included. In addition,
for illustrative purposes, we show the effectiveness of network
synchronization by means of experimental implementation of
coupled nine electronics fireflies in different topologies. |
