Abstract
The paper describes the sequence of bifurcations leading to multistability of periodic and chaotic synchronous attractors for the coupled Rössler systems which individually demonstrate the Feigenbaum route to chaos. We investigate how a frequency mismatch affects this phenomenon. The role of a set of coexisting synchronous regimes in the transitions to and between different forms of synchronization is studied.
