Numerical studies on the dynamics of the globally coupled maps with sequential updating

A system of globally coupled logistic maps with sequential updating is anal yzed numerically. It is found that deterministic asynchronous updating sche mes may have dramatical influences on the dynamical behaviors of globally c oupled systems. Transitions from spatiotemporal chaos to spatially organize d states are observed as the coupling parameter varies. It is shown that th e model system may exhibit a variety of collective properties such as clust ering, traveling wave patterns, and spatial bifurcation cascades.
