Traveling Waves in a Chain of Pulse-Coupled Oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive conditions for the existence of traveling wave solutions in a chain of pulse-coupled integrate-and-fire oscillators with nearest-neighbor interactions and distributed delays. A linear stability analysis of the traveling waves is carried out in terms of perturbations of the firing times of the oscillators. It is shown how traveling waves destabilize when the detuning between oscillators or the strength of the coupling becomes too large. [S0031-9007(98)06205-X]

Traveling waves and compactons in phase oscillator lattices.
We study waves in a chain of dispersively coupled phase oscillators. Two approaches--a quasicontinuous approximation and an iterative numerical solution of the lattice equation--allow us to characterize different types of traveling waves: compactons, kovatons, solitary waves with exponential tails as well as a novel type of semicompact waves that are compact from one side. Stability of these wa...
متن کاملMonotonicity of Phaselocked Solutions in Chains and Arrays of Nearest-neighbor Coupled Oscillators∗
The existence of phaselocked solutions in chains of weakly coupled oscillators is proven rigorously. The solutions show interesting monotonicity which plays an important role for the existence proofs. Under some conditions, we show that two-dimensional arrays can be decomposed into two one-dimensional problems. With this theory of decomposition, target patterns can be explained. Numerical resul...
متن کاملDeveloping Chaos on Base of Traveling Waves in a Chain of Coupled oscillators with Period-Doubling: Synchronization and Hierarchy of Multistability Formation
The work is devoted to the analysis of dynamics of traveling waves in a chain of self-oscillators with period-doubling route to chaos. As a model we use a ring of Chua’s circuits symmetrically coupled via a resistor. We consider how complicated are temporal regimes with parameters changing influences on spatial structures in the chain. We demonstrate that spatial periodicity exists until transi...
متن کاملSmall Planar Traveling Waves in Two Dimensional Networks of Coupled Oscillators
The existence of several small planar traveling waves with arbitrary direction of propagation is shown for two-dimensional cubic networks of oscillators with linear nearest-neighbor coupling. The analysis is based on a spatial dynamics reformulation of the relevant advance-delay equation. Whereas important aspects of the analysis are discontinuous in the direction of travel, continuity of the t...
متن کاملSynchrony, stability, and firing patterns in pulse-coupled oscillators
We study non-trivial firing patterns in small assemblies of pulse-coupled oscillatory maps. We find conditions for the existence of waves in rings of coupled maps that are coupled bi-directionally. We also find conditions for stable synchrony in general all-to-all coupled oscillators. Surprisingly, we find that for maps that are derived from physiological data, the stability of synchrony depend...
