Abstract

A synchronization detection device includes: a pseudo-vorticity matrix calculation unit that inputs time evolution information of phases from an oscillator system including a finite number of oscillators and calculates a matrix having elements each of which is a discretized value of a phase difference obtained by two of the oscillators by time evolution; a synchronization graph generation unit that generates a synchronization graph that visualizes two-point synchronization with a graph representation; a partial synchronization set detection unit that detects a plurality of subsets of the oscillators having no common portion and partially synchronized in a set of a finite number of the oscillators in the synchronization graph; and a synchronization index calculation unit that generates an index characterizing partial synchronization of the oscillator system using a calculation result calculated by the pseudo-vorticity matrix calculation unit and a partial synchronization set detected by the partial synchronization set detection unit.
