title: Phase synchronization of coupled ginzburg-landau equations
abstract: The occurrence of phase synchronization of a pair of unidirectionally coupled nonidentical Ginzburg-Landau equations is demonstrated and characterized using cyclic and extended phases. Furthermore, it is shown that weak coupling first leads to frequency synchronization and later to phase synchronization. For strong coupling there is evidence for generalized synchronization.
