  We propose a method for controlling synchronization patterns of limit-cycle
oscillators by common noisy inputs, i.e., by utilizing noise-induced
synchronization. Various synchronization patterns, including fully synchronized
and clustered states, can be realized by using linear filters that generate
appropriate common noisy signals from given noise. The optimal linear filter
can be determined from the linear phase response property of the oscillators
and the power spectrum of the given noise. The validity of the proposed method
is confirmed by numerical simulations.
