title: Chaos in networks with time-delayed couplings.
abstract: Networks of nonlinear units coupled by time-delayed signals can show chaos. In the limit of long delay times, chaos appears in two ways: strong and weak, depending on how the maximal Lyapunov exponent scales with the delay time. Only for weak chaos, a network can synchronize completely, without time shift. The conditions for strong and weak chaos and synchronization in networks with multiple delay times are investigated.
