Integral behavior for localized synchronization in nonidentical extended systems

We report the synchronization of two nonidentical spatially extended fields , ruled by one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equations. The two field s are prepared in different dynamical regimes, and interact via an imperfec t coupling consisting of a given number of local controllers N-c. The stren gth of the coupling is ruled by the parameter epsilon. We show that, in the limit of three controllers per correlation length, the synchronization beh avior is not affected if the product epsilonN(c) /N is kept constant, provi ding a sort of integral behavior for localized synchronization.
