Abstract

Perfect synchronization is only possible if the SM is invariant. There are other forms of generalized synchronization such as phase synchronization occurring, for instance, when the systems are non-identical, but we will restrict our analysis to perfect synchronization and a very weak form of generalized synchronization in lasers.
