Microscopic build-up of synchronization for the Logistic map system. (a) Synchronization error E as function of coupling strength k. Complete synchronization \(E\sim 0\) is reached around \(k\sim 0.9\). (b)–(e) Topological synchronization and the zipper effect. General dimension \(D_{q}\) as function of the parameter q of master (blue) and slave (red) attractors. As the coupling k increases a zipper effect from the negative (\(q\le 0\)) to the positive (\(q>0\)) part of \(D_{q}\) is seen.
