Abstract

The stability of synchronous chaos of coupled oscillators with diffusive and gradient couplings is investigated. The stability boundaries of all transverse modes can be simultaneously drawn by justifying the boundary of a single mode, according to a scaling relation. Therefore, the distribution of stable and unstable regions can be explicitly shown in control parameter space. Bifurcations through different unstable modes, leading to different spatial orders, are analyzed.
