Phys. Rev. E 66, 026201 (2002) [4 pages]Stable heteroclinic cycles for ensembles of chaotic oscillatorsReceived 2 November 2001; published 6 August 2002 We study the formation of synchronous clusters in ensembles of globally coupled chaotic oscillators. We reveal that at least three clusters of identical synchronization are formed in such a system for large enough values of coupling strength. Our main result is an unexpected intermittent process of clusterization. This process gives strong indication to the existence of a stable heteroclinic cycle. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
