Solitary states in a 2D lattice of bistable elements with global and close to global interaction

This paper is concerned with the spatiotemporal dynamics of the 2D lattice of cubic maps with nonlocal coupling. Different types of chimera structures have been found. Also, the underexplored regime of solitary states has been found. It is shown that the solitary states are typical of a large coupling radius. The possibility of detecting such a regime increases with the transition to global interaction, while chimera states disappear.
