Abstract
wIn this paper, the role of multiplicative noise in synchronization of bidirectionally coupled chain is studied. For coupled chain with three nodes, we demonstrate that noise plays positive role in synchronization based on stability theory of stochastic differential equation, and numerical simulations show the theoretical results is correct. For coupled chain with more than three nodes, we discuss the noise’s effect on synchronization by numerical simulations. By the numerical results, one may conjecture that the noise also have positive effect on synchronization when node number is larger than three. However, the positive effect of noise on synchronization is weaken with node number increasing.
