Collective behavior of coupled map lattices with different scales of local coupling

In this paper, I present a numerical study on the collective behavior of one-dimensional coupled map lattices with the nearest coupling to different scales for the whole system. Using the maximum Lyapunov exponent as a tool for subsystem and return mapping, I observed several basic patterns of collective behavior and investigated the contrasts between the different scales. To study the mechanism, the system under entirely random perturbations was investigated using the Monte Carlo method and the contrast wi...
