Abstract
We investigate common-noise-induced synchronization between two identical networks of coupled phase oscillators exhibiting fully locked collective oscillations. Using the collective phase description method for fully locked oscillators, we demonstrate that two noninteracting networks of coupled phase oscillators can exhibit in-phase synchronization between the networks when driven by weak common noise. We derive the Lyapunov exponent characterizing the relaxation time for synchronization and develop a method of obtaining the optimal input pattern of common noise to achieve fast synchronization. We illustrate the theory using three representative networks with heterogeneous, global, and local coupling. The theoretical results are validated by direct numerical simulations.
