Unstable Attractors: Existence and Robustness in Networks of Oscillators With Delayed Pulse Coupling
We consider unstable attractors: Milnor attractors A such that, for some neighbourhood U of A, almost all initial conditions leave U . Previous research strongly suggests that unstable attractors exist and even occur robustly (i.e. for open sets of parameter values) in a system modelling biological phenomena, namely in globally coupled oscillators with delayed pulse interactions. In the first p...
متن کاملPrevalence of unstable attractors in networks of pulse-coupled oscillators.
We present and analyze the first example of a dynamical system that naturally exhibits attracting periodic orbits that are unstable. These unstable attractors occur in networks of pulse-coupled oscillators, and become prevalent with increasing network size for a wide range of parameters. They are enclosed by basins of attraction of other attractors but are remote from their own basin volume suc...
متن کاملRobustness of unstable attractors in arbitrarily sized pulse-coupled networks with delay
We consider arbitrarily large networks of pulse-coupled oscillators with nonzero delay where the coupling is given by the Mirollo–Strogatz function. We prove that such systems have unstable attractors (saddle periodic orbits whose stable set has non-empty interior) in an open parameter region for three or more oscillators. The evolution operator of the system can be discontinuous and we propose...
متن کاملSynchronization in Pulse-Coupled Oscillators with Delayed Excitatory/Inhibitory Coupling
Due to their rich behaviors, pulse-coupled oscillator (PCO) networks have been widely studied. Prior research has focused on systems with excitatory, inhibitory, and mixed excitatory/inhibitory coupling, as well as on systems with and without delays in pulse transmission. This article focuses on PCO networks with delayed excitatory/inhibitory coupling. We consider a simple phase transition rule...
متن کاملDesynchronization of pulse-coupled oscillators with delayed excitatory coupling
Collective behavior of pulse-coupled oscillators has been investigated widely. As an example of pulse-coupled networks, fireflies display many kinds of flashing patterns. Mirollo and Strogatz (1990) proposed a pulse-coupled oscillator model to explain the synchronization of South East Asian fireflies (Pteroptyx malaccae). However, transmission delays were not considered in their model. In fact,...
