Noise-induced synchronization of two-dimensional complex spatiotemporal systems

A type of noise-induced synchronization in two-dimensional (2D) complex spatiotemporal system is studied in this paper. First, we employ a 2D complex Ginzburg-Laudau equation (CGL) to present spatiotemporal chaos. Then the synchronization in the CGL equation driven by spatiotemporal noise is studied. Theoretically, the critical control intensity is obtained by linear stability analysis of a constant forced CGL system. Combining with randomness and non-zero mean of the noise, we reveal the mechanism of synchronization and give the required conditions for control parameters and noise intensity resulting in synchronization theoretically and numerically. A complete synchronization in a pair of uncoupled CGL equations is achieved. A good agreement between the theoretical analyses and the numerical results is obtained.
