The synchronization behavior of delay coupled chaotic smooth unimodal maps over a ring network with stochastic switching of links at every time step is reported in this paper. It is observed that spatiotemporal synchronization never appears for nearest neighbor connections; however, stochastic switching of connections with homogeneous delay (τ ) is capable of synchronizing the network to homogeneous steady state or periodic orbit or synchronized chaotically oscillating state depending on the delay parameter, stochasticity parameter and map parameters. Linear stability analysis of the synchronized state is done analytically for unit delay and the value of the critical coupling strength, at which the onset of synchronization occurs is determined analytically. The logistic map rx(1 − x) (a smooth unimodal map) is chosen for numerical simulation purpose. Synchronized steady state or synchronized period-2 orbit is stabilized for delay τ = 1. On the other hand for delay τ = 2 the network is stabilized to the fixed point of the local map. Numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the analytically obtained linear stability analysis results. Another interesting observation is the existence of synchronized chaos in the network for delay τ > 2. Calculating synchronization error and plotting time series data and Poincare first return map the existence of synchronized chaos is confirmed. The results hold good for other smooth unimodal maps also.PACS numbers: 05.45.-a Due to the nonzero propagation speed of the transmitted signals the time delay in coupling arises in any system. Delay systems are in general infinite dimensional and can display complex dynamics and a very little is known about the basic relations between network structure and delay dynamics. Delay induced synchronization in coupled map lattice (CML) has already been discussed in many papers. However, in many systems (for example, communication, ecological, social and contact networks) links are not always active and the connectivity between the units changes (stochastically or deterministically) in time with a rate ranging from slow to fast. These facts motivates us to find out the effects of time delay in a CML having stochastically switching network topology. In a stochastically switching network connection between nodes changes randomly with time. Conditions for the stability of the synchronized steady state and periodic orbit are derived analytically using the properties of block circulant matrix. It is shown that in certain range of coupling (depending on probability of random connection) the CML synchronizes to periodic or chaotic orbit depending on delay time(τ ) and map parameters. In case of τ = 1 synchronized period − 2 is observed whereas for τ = 2 synchronized steady state and for higher values of τ synchronized chaos are observed.
