Anticipated and Lag Synchronization
In these cases the synchronized state is characterized by a time interval τ such that the dynamical variables of the oscillators, (x1,x2,,...,xn) and (x'1, x'2,...,x'n), are related by x'i(t)=xi(t+τ); this means that the dynamics of one of the oscillators follows, or anticipates, the dynamics of the other. Anticipated synchronization may occur between chaotic oscillators whose dynamics is described by delay differential equations, coupled in a drive-response configuration. In this case, the response anticipates the dynamics of the drive. Lag synchronization may occur when the strength of the coupling between phase-synchronized oscillators is increased.

Famous quotes containing the words anticipated and/or lag:
“He who rejoices even at the stake triumphs not over pain but over the absence of pain where he had anticipated feeling it. A parable.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I could be well content
To entertain the lag end of my life
With quiet hours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
