Numerical simulations of coupled map lattices with non-local interactions (i.e., the coupling of a given map occurs with all lattice sites) often involve a large computer time if the lattice size is too large. In order to study dynamical effects which depend on the lattice size we considered...

We investigate aspects of the spatio-temporal dynamics exhibited by a one-dimensional lattice of chaotic piecewise linear maps in a coupling prescription which includes both regular (nearest and next-to-nearest neighbors) and randomly chosen couplings. We discuss the conditions for the existence...

We used numerical diagnostics to quantify spatial disorder, and its relation with temporal chaos, for a one-dimensional chain of coupled logistic maps with a coupling strength which varies with the lattice distance in a power-law fashion. The main tool is spatial return plots, whose properties...
