Stable heteroclinic cycles for ensembles of chaotic oscillators.
We study the formation of synchronous clusters in ensembles of globally coupled chaotic oscillators. We reveal that at least three clusters of identical synchronization are formed in such a system for large enough values of coupling strength. Our main result is an unexpected intermittent process of clusterization. This process gives strong indication to the existence of a stable heteroclinic cycle.
