The analyses and simulations of some typical dynamical systems on Watts-Strogatz networks are given, including the $n$-dimensional torus, the identity component of 3-dimensional general linear group, the special unitary group, and the special orthogonal group. In all cases, the greater disorder of networks will predict better synchronizability, and the small-world effect ensures the global synchronization for sufficiently large coupling strength. The collective synchronized behaviors of many dynamical systems, such as the integrable systems, the two-state quantum systems and the top systems, can be described by the present phase synchronization frame. In addition, it is intuitive that the low-dimensional systems are more easily to synchronize, however, to our surprise, we found that the high-dimensional systems display obviously synchronized behaviors in regular networks, while these phenomena can not be observed in low-dimensional systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-07-05T05:30:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "phase synchronization", "small-world networks", "non-abelian oscillators", "display obviously synchronized behaviors", "systems display" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
