Abstract

Considering the fact that the distances between coupled oscillators may delay the receiving of signals, we study here the influence of uniformly distributed delays in an array of coupled pendulums instead of studying the influence of the coupling strength. We find that with an increase of the range of distributed delays, the chaotic behaviors of the coupled arrays may be controlled and different synchronized patterns can be induced. An analytic solution is given to confirm the numerical results. This finding may provide further insight into information processing in neurons.
