Abstract
In a generalized framework, where multi-state and inter-state linkages are allowed, we derive a sufficient condition for the stability of synchronization in a network of chaotic attractors. This condition explicitly relates the network structure and the local and coupling dynamics to synchronization stability. For large Erdös-Rényi networks, the obtained condition is translated into a lower bound on the probability of stability of synchrony. Our results show that the probability of stability quickly increases as the randomness crosses a threshold which for large networks is inversely proportional to the network size.
