ON SELF-ORGANIZED CRITICALITY AND SYNCHRONIZATION IN LATTICE MODELS OF COUPLED DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

Abstract
Lattice models of coupled dynamical systems lead to a variety of complex behaviors. Between the individual motion of independent units and the collective behavior of members of a population evolving synchronously, there exist more complicated attractors. In some cases, these states are identified with self-organized critical phenomena. In other situations, they are identified with clusterization or phase-locking. The conditions leading to such different behaviors in models of integrate-and-fire oscillators and stick-slip processes are reviewed.
