Solitons, spatiotemporal chaos and synchronization in arrays of damped driven nonlinear oscillators

Includes bibliographical references (p. 91-95). === Simulating the homogeneous chain, we demonstrate the existance of periodically oscillating solitons, the period-doubling sequence of transitions to temporal chaos and the degeneration into spatiotemporal chaos for larger driving strengths. Next, we...
