Ragged Synchronizability and Clustering in a Network of Coupled Oscillators

In this chapter we describe phenomenon of ragged synchronizability. First we give a theoretical introduction about detecting of the complete synchronization in the network of coupled systems. As an example we choose a network of non-diagonally coupled forced van der Pol oscillators.We present construction of the single electrical van der Pol oscillator and array of such systems. We show numerical and experimental results of the existence of the complete synchronization in the array and we discuss it in the very detailed way. We also consider the synchronization in clusters, experimentally in the small array and numerically in the larger network. Our numerical simulations show good agreement with the experimental observations.
