Synchronization of driven nonlinear oscillators
نویسنده
چکیده
Mathematical models of nonlinear oscillators are used to describe a wide variety of physical and biological phenomena that exhibit self-sustained oscillatory behavior. When these oscillators are strongly driven by forces that are periodic in time, they often exhibit a remarkable ‘‘mode-locking’’ that synchronizes the nonlinear oscillations to the driving force. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a similar phenomenon occurs when nonlinear oscillators are strongly driven by a force that is varying randomly in time. In this case the synchronization is less obvious for a single oscillator, but when several oscillators with different initial conditions or phases are driven with the same aperiodic force, their fluctuating behavior may reliably converge to an identical response. Analytical estimates are derived for the conditions, rates, and structural stability for the synchronization of a broad class of aperiodically driven nonlinear oscillators. © 2002 American

Synchronization of uncoupled oscillators by common gamma impulses: From phase locking to noise-induced synchronization.
Nonlinear oscillators can mutually synchronize when they are driven by common external impulses. Two important scenarios are (i) synchronization resulting from phase locking of each oscillator to regular periodic impulses and (ii) noise-induced synchronization caused by the Poisson random impulses, but their difference has not been fully quantified. Here, we analyze a pair of uncoupled oscillat...

Heart chaotic system and the ability of particle swarm optimization (PSO) method motivated us to benefit the method of chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) to synchronize the heart three-oscillator model. It can be a suitable algorithm for strengthening the controller in presence of unknown parameters. In this paper we apply adaptive control (AC) on heart delay model, also examine the sys...
متن کاملSharp versus smooth synchronization transition of locally coupled oscillators.
We provide a general condition for the occurrence of a sudden transition to synchronization in an array of oscillators mutually coupled via the nearest neighbors. At the onset of synchronization a specific constraint must be fulfilled: precisely, the response time of a single system to signals from the adjacent sites must be smaller than the refractory period. We verify this criterion in some m...
متن کاملScaling and synchronization in a ring of diffusively coupled nonlinear oscillators.
Chaos synchronization in a ring of diffusively coupled nonlinear oscillators driven by an external identical oscillator is studied. Based on numerical simulations we show that by introducing additional couplings at (mN(c)+1)-th oscillators in the ring, where m is an integer and N(c) is the maximum number of synchronized oscillators in the ring with a single coupling, the maximum number of oscil...
متن کاملBifurcations, Chaos, Controlling and Synchronization of Certain Nonlinear Oscillators
In this set of lectures, we review briefly some of the recent developments in the study of the chaotic dynamics of nonlinear oscillators, particularly of damped and driven type. By taking a representative set of examples such as the Duffing, Bonhoeffer-van der Pol and MLC circuit oscillators, we briefly explain the various bifurcations and chaos phenomena associated with these systems. We use n...
