A type of nonlinearity in vibrational engineering systems emerges when the restoring force is a nonlinear function of displacement. The derivative of this function is known as stiffness. If the stiffness increases by increasing the value of displacement from the equilibrium position, then the system is known as hardening type oscillator and if the stiffness decreases by increasing the value of ...

Recently, the phase-flip bifurcation has been described as a fundamental transition in time-delay coupled, phase-synchronized nonlinear dynamical systems. The bifurcation is characterized by a change of the synchronized dynamics from being in-phase to antiphase, or vice versa; the phase-difference between the oscillators undergoes a jump of pi as a function of the coupling strength or the time ...

It is shown, that increasing the stability of synchronous self-oscillations in fiber lasers with nonlinear mirrors, based on micro-optomechanical resonators (micro-oscillators), can be achieved due to transformation wavefront laser radiation, interacting micro-oscillators. These transformations are unique properties mode interference composite singlemode-multimode-singlemode structures. Keyword...

There have been many investigations of mutual synchronization and multimode oscillation in coupled oscillators1)–4). Endo et al. have reported the multimode oscillations in various types of the coupled oscillators networks1). The synchronization phenomena in resistively coupled oscillators have been reported2)–4). In particular, we have reported synchronization phenomena observed from N oscilla...

– We consider a population of parametrically excited globally coupled oscillators in a weakly nonlinear state. The instabilities of collective modes lead to a traveling-wave regime, where intensities of oscillations of each oscillator vary periodically in time. For large excitation amplitudes a frozen state with nearly uniform oscillation intensities is observed. Ensembles of coupled oscillator...

The study of the collective dynamics of synchronization among genetic oscillators is essential for the understanding of the rhythmic phenomena of living organisms at both molecular and cellular levels. Genetic oscillators are biochemical networks, which can generally be modelled as nonlinear dynamic systems. We show in this paper that many genetic oscillators can be transformed into Lur'e form ...

Vibrational transitions contain some of the richest fingerprints of molecules and materials, providing considerable physicochemical information. Vibrational transitions can be characterized by different spectroscopies, and alternatively by several imaging techniques enabling to reach sub-microscopic spatial resolution. In a quest to always push forward the detection limit and to lower the numbe...

Various properties of human rhythmic movements have been successfully modeled using nonlinear oscillators. However, despite some extensions towards stochastical differential equations, these models do not comprise different statistical features that can be explained by nondynamical statistics. For instance, one observes certain lag one serial correlation functions for consecutive periods during...

The plasmodium of the true slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, which shows various nonlinear oscillatory phenomena, for example, in its thickness, protoplasmic streaming and concentration of intracellular chemicals, can be regarded as a collective of nonlinear oscillators. The plasmodial oscillators are interconnected by microscale tubes whose dimensions can be closely related to the strength of...

Intracellular oscillators entrain to periodic signals by adjusting their phase and frequency. However, the low copy numbers of key molecular players make the dynamics of these oscillators intrinsically noisy, disrupting their oscillatory activity and entrainment response. Here, we use a combination of computational methods and experimental observations to reveal a functional distinction between...
