We investigate different states of synchronization in a ring of four mutually coupled van der Pol oscillators. The stability analysis and numerical simulation are performed to determine the suitable coupling parameters leading to high-quality synchronization. The consequences of parameter mismatch are also highlighted. Experimental realization is then used to show the existence of complete and partial synchronization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
