We study an infinite assembly of integrate and fire oscillators with global delta-function like pulse-coupling. Numerical simulations reveal that the time required for the mutual synchrony of all the oscillators exhibits singular behavior as a function of the interaction strength. The origin of this anomalous synchronization is elucidated by a theoretical analysis.
