چکیده

Finger on the pulse: in a system of two pulse-coupled Belousov-Zhabotinsky oscillators, introducing a time delay or increasing the coupling strength brings about novel dynamic features (see picture, the two oscillators are shown in different colors), such as reversal of the roles of excitatory and inhibitory coupling or fast anti-phase oscillation. These features are not observed in diffusively coupled systems, and shed light on how such pulse coupling occurs at synapses.

Pulse-coupled BZ oscillators with unequal coupling strengths.

Coupled chemical oscillators are usually studied with symmetric coupling, either between identical oscillators or between oscillators whose frequencies differ. Asymmetric connectivity is important in neuroscience, where synaptic strength inequality in neural networks commonly occurs. While the properties of the individual oscillators in some coupled chemical systems may be readily changed, enfo...

New type of excitatory pulse coupling of chemical oscillators via inhibitor.

We introduce a new type of pulse coupling between chemical oscillators. A constant inflow of inhibitor in one reactor is interrupted shortly after a time delay after a sharp spike of activity in the other reactor. We proved experimentally and theoretically that this reversed inhibitory coupling is analogous to excitatory coupling. We did this by analyzing phase response curves, dependences of d...

Synchronization with time delay from a pulse-coupled network of spiking oscillators

We present a simple pulse-coupled network (PCN) of spiking oscillators (SOCs). The SOC has a periodic base and can generate chaotic spike-trains in which various unstable periodic spike-trains (UPSTs) are embedded. The PCN exhibits multi-phase synchronization with a spike-train input if the spikes pattern of the input is closed to one of the various UPSTs. In the multiphase synchronization, eac...

Synchronization of pulse-coupled oscillators to a global pacemaker

Pulse-coupled oscillators (PCOs) are limit cycle oscillators coupled by exchanging pulses at discrete time instants. Their importance in biology and engineering has motivated numerous studies aiming to understand the basic synchronization properties of a network of PCOs. In this work, we study synchronization of PCOs subject to a global pacemaker (or global cue) and local interactions between s...

Robustness 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...
