Abstract
Identical nonlinear chaotic systems linked by a common noise term (or signal) may synchronize. The synchronization process, which is a combi ned effect of the noise and of the deterministic part of the map, coul d show much more complex behavior than the one suggested by recent stu dies. In particular, it is demonstrated that when the noise couples th e states of an ensemble of identical systems the change of sign of the largest Lyapunov exponent of the ensemble is not necessarily connecte d with the synchronization.
