title: Chaotic synchronization in large map networks.
abstract: The chaotic synchronization in n-dimensional large map networks with local coupling and their size stabilities in the node number N-->infinity are studied analytically and numerically. The analytical results show that the chaotic synchronization is stable for N-->infinity in the presence of the external driving or global coupling. The numerical calculations show that, as the driving or global interaction strength increases from zero, the network states have the whole route: spatiotemporal chaotic state --> cluster chaotic synchronous state --> complete chaotic synchronous state --> spatiotemporal pattern --> spatiotemporal chaotic state.
