Description
We study dynamical systems composed of a set of linearly coupled quadratic maps which, if uncoupled, would be on the Feigenbaum accumulation point. For two units we prove the existence of an infinite number of sinks for an open set of coupling parameters. In the limit of many units a mean field analysis also implies the stabilization in periodic orbits of, at least, a subset of the coupled units. Possible applications in the fields of control of chaos, signal processing through complex dynamics and as models of self-organization, are discussed.
