Mapping Model of Chaotic Phase Synchronization
  A coupled map model for the chaotic phase synchronization and its desynchronization phenomenon is proposed. The model is constructed by integrating the coupled kicked oscillator system, kicking strength depending on the complex state variables. It is shown that the proposed model clearly exhibits the chaotic phase synchronization phenomenon. Furthermore, we numerically prove that in the region where the phase synchronization is weakly broken, the anomalous scaling of the phase difference rotation number is observed. This proves that the present model belongs to the same universality class found by Pikovsky et al.. Furthermore, the phase diffusion coefficient in the de-synchronization state is analyzed.
