title: Experimental observation of ragged synchronizability.
abstract: Synchronization thresholds of an array of nondiagonally coupled oscillators are investigated. We present experimental results which show the existence of ragged synchronizability, i.e., the existence of multiple disconnected synchronization regions in the coupling parameter space. This phenomenon has been observed in an electronic implementation of an array of nondiagonally coupled van der Pol's oscillators. Numerical simulations show good agreement with the experimental observations.
