When random links are added to a one-dimensional lattice, the average size of the fluctuations becomes finite (synchronized state) and the extreme height diverges only logarithmically in the large system-size limit. This latter property ensures synchronization in a practical sense in small-world coupled multi-component autonomous systems. The statistics of the extreme heights is governed by the Fisher-Tippett-Gumbel distribution.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-11-25T20:52:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "relaxational dynamics", "extreme fluctuations", "extreme height diverges", "small-world coupled multi-component autonomous systems", "property ensures synchronization" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
