Abstract
We report various modes of synchrony observed for a population of two, three and four pentanol drops in a rectangular channel at the air-water interface. Initially, the autonomous oscillations of a single 1-pentanol drop were studied in a ferroin DI water solution pre-mixed with some volume of pentanol. A pentanol drop performs continuous motion on the air-water interface due to Marangoni forces. A linear channel was prepared to study the uniaxial movement of the drop(s). Thereafter, a systematic study of the self-propelled motion of a 1-pentanol drop was reported as a function of the drop volume. Subsequently, the coupled dynamics were studied for two, three and four drops, respectively. We observed anti-phase oscillations in a pair of pentanol drops. In the case of three drops, relay synchronization was observed, wherein consecutive pairs of drops were exhibiting out-of-phase oscillations and alternate drops were performing in-phase oscillations. Four pentanol drops showed two different modes of synchrony: one was relay synchrony and the other was out-of-phase oscillations between two pairs of drops (within a pair, the drops exhibit in-phase oscillations).

Abstract
Relay synchronization in multi-layer networks implies inter-layer synchronization between two indirectly connected layers through a relay layer. In this work, we study the relay synchronization in a three-layer multiplex network by introducing degree-based weighting mechanisms. The mechanism of within-layer connectivity may be hubs-repelling or hubs-attracting whenever low-degree or high-degree nodes receive strong influence. We adjust the remote layers to hubs-attracting coupling, whereas the relay layer may be unweighted, hubs-repelling, or hubs-attracting network. We establish that relay synchronization is improved when the relay layer is hubs-repelling compared to the other cases. We determine analytically necessary stability conditions of relay synchronization state using the master stability function approach. Finally, we explore the relation between synchronization and the topological property of the relay layer. We find that a higher clustering coefficient hinders synchronizability, and vice versa. We also look into the intra-layer synchronization in the proposed weighted triplex network and establish that intra-layer synchronization occurs in a wider range when relay layer is hubs-attracting.

Abstract
Previous research on nonlinear oscillator networks has shown that chaos synchronization is attainable for identical oscillators but deteriorates in the presence of parameter mismatches. Here, we identify regimes for which the opposite occurs and show that oscillator heterogeneity can synchronize chaos for conditions under which identical oscillators cannot. This effect is not limited to small mismatches and is observed for random oscillator heterogeneity on both homogeneous and heterogeneous network structures. The results are demonstrated experimentally using networks of Chua's oscillators and are further supported by numerical simulations and theoretical analysis. In particular, we propose a general mechanism based on heterogeneity-induced mode mixing that provides insights into the observed phenomenon. Since individual differences are ubiquitous and often unavoidable in real systems, it follows that such imperfections can be an unexpected source of synchronization stability.

Abstract
We study relay and complete synchronization in a heterogeneous triplex network of discrete-time chaotic oscillators. A relay layer and two outer layers, which are not directly coupled but interact via the relay layer, represent rings of nonlocally coupled two-dimensional maps. We consider for the first time the case when the spatiotemporal dynamics of the relay layer is completely different from that of the outer layers. Two different configurations of the triplex network are explored: when the relay layer consists of Lozi maps while the outer layers are given by Henon maps and vice versa. Phase and amplitude chimera states are observed in the uncoupled Henon map ring, while solitary state regimes are typical for the isolated Lozi map ring. We show for the first time relay synchronization of amplitude and phase chimeras, a solitary state chimera, and solitary state regimes in the outer layers. We reveal regimes of complete synchronization for the chimera structures and solitary state modes in all the three layers. We also analyze how the synchronization effects depend on the spatiotemporal dynamics of the relay layer and construct phase diagrams in the parameter plane of inter-layer vs intra-layer coupling strength of the relay layer.

Abstract
Relay synchronization in complex networks is characterized by the synchronization of remote parts of the network due to their interaction via a relay. In multilayer networks, distant layers that are not connected directly can synchronize due to signal propagation via relay layers. In this work, we investigate relay synchronization of partial synchronization patterns like chimera states in three-layer networks of interacting FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators. We demonstrate that the phenomenon of relay synchronization is robust to topological random inhomogeneities of small-world type in the layer networks. We show that including randomness in the connectivity structure either of the remote network layers or of the relay layer increases the range of interlayer coupling strength where relay synchronization can be observed.

Abstract
Remote synchronization (RS) is characterized by the appearance of phase coherence between oscillators that do not directly interact through a structural link in a network but exclusively through other units that are not synchronized or more weakly synchronized with them. This form of phase synchronization was observed initially in starlike motifs and later in random networks. In this paper, we report on an experimental setup for the analysis of RS in networks of Stuart-Landau oscillators and in particular investigate the behavior of tree structures focusing on the path to synchronization, that is, on the analysis of how synchronization emerges as the coupling strength increases from zero. We find that RS occurs in a region wherein further increases of the coupling strength lead to a direct transition to global synchronization but may also be observed in a second region, corresponding to lower coupling values, wherein it first emerges and then disappears, hallmarking a scenario that we denote as fading of remote synchronization. We show that this result is related to the behavior of pairs of remotely synchronized nodes observed in networks with more general topologies. Experiments are corroborated by numerical simulations confirming the major findings and providing further characterization of the phenomenon. We demonstrate that the distribution of natural oscillation frequencies and the parameter uncertainty in the links both play a fundamental role in shaping the behaviors observed.

Abstract
Relay (or remote) synchronization between two not directly connected oscillators in a network is an important feature allowing distant coordination. In this work, we report a systematic study of this phenomenon in multiplex networks, where inter-layer synchronization occurs between distant layers mediated by a relay layer that acts as a transmitter. We show that this transmission can be extended to higher order relay configurations, provided symmetry conditions are preserved. By first order perturbative analysis, we identify the dynamical and topological dependencies of relay synchronization in a multiplex. We find that the relay synchronization threshold is considerably reduced in a multiplex configuration, and that such synchronous state is mostly supported by the lower degree nodes of the outer layers, while hubs can be de-multiplexed without affecting overall coherence. Finally, we experimentally validated the analytical and numerical findings by means of a multiplex of three layers of electronic circuits.

Abstract
A form of "remote synchronization" was recently described, wherein amplitude fluctuations across a ring of non-identical, non-linear electronic oscillators become entrained into spatially-structured patterns. According to linear models and mutual information, synchronization and causality dip at a certain distance, then recover before eventually fading. Here, the underlying mechanism is finally elucidated through novel experiments and simulations. The system non-linearity is found to have a dual role: it supports chaotic dynamics, and it enables the energy exchange between the lower and higher sidebands of a predominant frequency. This frequency acts as carrier signal in an arrangement resembling standard amplitude modulation, wherein the lower sideband and the demodulated baseband signals spectrally overlap. Due to a spatially-dependent phase relationship, at a certain distance near-complete destructive interference occurs between them, causing the observed dip. Methods suitable for detecting non-trivial entrainment, such as transfer entropy and the auxiliary system approach, nevertheless, reveal that synchronization and causality actually decrease with distance monotonically. Remoteness is, therefore, arguably only apparent, as also reflected in the propagation of external perturbations. These results demonstrate a complex mechanism of dynamical interdependence, and exemplify how it can lead to incorrectly inferring synchronization and causality.

Abstract
The phenomenon of “remote synchronization” (RS), first observed in a star network of oscillators, involves synchronization of unconnected peripheral nodes through a hub that maintains independent dynamics. In the RS regime the central hub was thought to serve as a passive gate for information transfer between nodes. Here, we investigate the physical origin of this phenomenon. Surprisingly, we find that a hub node can drive remote synchronization of peripheral oscillators even in the presence of a repulsive mean field, thus actively governing network dynamics while remaining asynchronous. We study this novel phenomenon in complex networks endowed with multiple hub-nodes, a ubiquitous feature of many real-world systems, including brain connectivity networks. We show that a change in the natural frequency of a single hub can alone reshape synchronization patterns across the entire network, and switch from direct to remote synchronization, or to hub-driven desynchronization. Hub-driven RS may provide a mechanism to account for the role of structural hubs in the organization of brain functional connectivity networks.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of coupled oscillators is important for the degree of their synchronization. According to the classical Kuramoto model, larger heterogeneity reduces synchronization. Here, we show that in a model for coupled pancreatic β-cells, higher diversity of the cells induces higher synchrony. We find that any system of coupled oscillators that oscillates on two time scales and in which heterogeneity causes a transition from chaotic to damped oscillations on the fast time scale exhibits this property. Thus, synchronization of a subset of oscillating systems can be enhanced by increasing the heterogeneity of the system constituents.
