Indentical synchronization in complete networks of reaction-diffusion equations of FitzHugh-Nagumo

Abstract

Synchronization is a ubiquitous feature in many natural systems and nonlinear science. This paper studies the synchronization in complete network consisting of n nodes. Each node is connected to all other nodes by linear coupling and represented by a reaction-diffusion system of FitzHugh-Nagumo type which can be obtained by simplifying the famous Hodgkin-Huxley model. From this complete network, the author seeks a sufficient condition on the coupling strength to achieve synchronization. The result shows that the more easily the nodes synchronize, the bigger the degrees of the networks. Based on this consequence, the author will test the theoretical result numerically to see if there is a compromise.
