High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A coupled map lattice is a dynamical system that models the behavior of non-linear systems. They are predominantly used to qualitatively study the chaotic dynamics of spatially extended systems. This includes the dynamics of spatiotemporal chaos where the number of effective degrees of freedom diverge as the size of the system increases . Features of the CML are discrete time dynamics, discrete underlying spaces, and real, local, continuous state variables. Studied systems include populations, chemical reactions, convection, fluid flow and biological networks. Even recently, CMLs have been applied to computational networks identifying detrimental attack methods and cascading failures. CML’s are comparable to cellular automata models in terms of their discrete features. However, the value of each site in a cellular automata network is strictly dependent on its neighbor from the previous time step. Each site of the CML is only dependent upon its neighbors relative to the coupling term in the recurrence equation. However, the similarites can be compounded when considering multicomponent dynamical systems.
