Abstract

The plethora of systems considered during the study of coupling between entities exhibiting nonlinear behaviour has led to the emergence of a new field of study encompassing biological science and mathematics, where the connectivity between neurones proves to be a worthwhile quest. But this is not restricted only to the above mentioned domains. In this respect, the one thing that interests the scientific community at large is the random presence of synchrony and its absence in a cluster of nonlinear systems. Any large scale complex network is capable of exhibiting this phenomenon. First observed by Kuramoto et al. [1-3] the phenomena mentioned here has got a very interesting name dating back to the time of Homer. Chimera - a three headed fire-breathing monster having the head of a lion, the body of a goat and the tail of a serpent - is the name given to this phenomenon.
