Bifurcation and chaos in unidirectionally coupled oscillators

Routes to complex dynamics in a ring of unidirectionally coupled systems.

We study the dynamics of a ring of unidirectionally coupled autonomous Duffing oscillators. Starting from a situation where the individual oscillator without coupling has only trivial equilibrium dynamics, the coupling induces complicated transitions to periodic, quasiperiodic, chaotic, and hyperchaotic behavior. We study these transitions in detail for small and large numbers of oscillators. P...

Transition to Chaotic phase Synchronization through Random phase jumps

Phase synchronization is shown to occur between opposite cells of a ring consisting of chaotic Lorenz oscillators coupled unidirectionally through driving. As the coupling strength is diminished, full phase synchronization cannot be achieved due to random generation of phase jumps. The brownian dynamics underlying this process is studied in terms of a stochastic diffusion model of a particle in...

Bifurcation and Chaos in Coupled BVP oscillators

On Synchronization and Control of Coupled Wilson-cowan Neural oscillators

This paper investigates the complex dynamics, synchronization and control of chaos in a system of strongly connected Wilson–Cowan neural oscillators. Some typical synchronized periodic solutions are analyzed by using the Poincaré mapping method, for which bifurcation diagrams are obtained. It is shown that topological change of the synchronization mode is mainly caused and carried out by the Ne...

Synchronization properties of network motifs: influence of coupling delay and symmetry.

We investigate the effect of coupling delays on the synchronization properties of several network motifs. In particular, we analyze the synchronization patterns of unidirectionally coupled rings, bidirectionally coupled rings, and open chains of Kuramoto oscillators. Our approach includes an analytical and semianalytical study of the existence and stability of different in-phase and out-of-phas...
