Synchronization of coupled stochastic oscillators: The effect of topology

  • Published:
Pramana Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We study sets of genetic networks having stochastic oscillatory dynamics. Depending on the coupling topology we find regimes of phase synchronization of the dynamical variables. We consider the effect of time-delay in the interaction and show that for suitable choices of delay parameter, either in-phase or anti-phase synchronization can occur.
