This paper studies some special networks structured with self-organized and driven behavior that coexist in a cluster, moreover, the clusters have dominant intra-cluster and inter-cluster couplings. It is called mixed-system (M-S) here. For this study linear stability analysis was used, and stability conditions for the synchronized state were determined. For the coupling function g(x), the stability state of the network was discussed in two different cases: the linear case with g(x) = x and the nonlinear case with g(x) = f (x). Furthermore, the condition for the emergence of chaos in the networks was given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
