Synchronization of Oscillators Coupled Through Narrow-Band Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The ability of two coupled oscillators to synchronize depends critically on the coupling network. Previous analyses have accurately predicted the performance of quasi-optical microwave oscillator arrays for both weak and strong coupling, but have been limited to coupling networks with bandwidths considerably larger than the locking bandwidths of the oscillators. In this paper, the authors develop a method for deriving a suitable system of nonlinear differential equations describing the oscillator amplitude and phase dynamics using a generalization of Kurokawa’s method. The method is applied to the case of two Van der Pol oscillators coupled through a resonant network for a wide range of coupling strengths and bandwidths. Simple approximate formulas are developed for the size of the frequency locking region as functions of the basic circuit parameters.

We study the emergence of collective synchronization in large directed networks of heterogeneous oscillators by generalizing the classical Kuramoto model of globally coupled phase oscillators to more realistic networks. We extend recent theoretical approximations describing the transition to synchronization in large undirected networks of coupled phase oscillators to the case of directed networ...

We consider a model system of phase oscillators which are connected in a random network. The network favors the connection of oscillators with close values of phases. We extend the order parameter used in the study of synchronization of phase oscillators and define generalized order parameters for the model system. We investigate the equilibrium properties of the model and reveal a phenomenon o...

Mutual synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon that exists in various natural systems. The individual participants in this process can be modeled as oscillators, which interact by discrete pulses. In this paper, we analyze the synchronization condition of twoand multi-oscillators system, and propose a linear pulse-coupled oscillators model. We prove that the proposed model can achieve synchr...
