title: Generalized synchronization versus phase synchronization
abstract: The relation between generalized synchronization and phase synchronization is investigated. It was claimed that generalized synchronization always leads to phase synchronization, and phase synchronization is a weaker form than generalized synchronization. We propose examples that generalized synchronization can be weaker than phase synchronization, depending on parameter misfits. Moreover, generalized synchronization does not always lead to phase synchronization.
