Classification of synchronized states in CNNs with higher order cells

The aim of this paper is to describe various types of synchronization phenomena discovered in our earlier studies of dynamics of Cellular Nonlinear Networks composed of locally interconnected chaotic circuits. In our computer experiments we confirmed existence of many types of clusters of cells showing different dynamics, e.g. synchronized periodic trajectories of different types, synchronized chaotic states; different lengths of synchronized clusters. Existence of synchronization and its type depends basically on the connection strengths.
