In this paper, the recent and emerging phenomenon of hidden oscillations is observed in a newly implemented memristor-based autonomous Duffing oscillator for the first time. The hidden oscillations are presented and quantified by various statistical measures. The system shows a large number of hidden attractors for a wide range of the system parameters. This study indicates that hidden oscillations can exist not only in piecewise-linear but also in smooth nonlinear circuits and systems. The distribution of Lyapunov exponents and the basin of attraction are explored to understand the nature of the hidden oscillations. We have also discussed the new phenomenon of periodic line invariant. An experimental demonstration is also presented using real time analog circuit.
Stuart-Landau oscillators can be coupled so as to either preserve or destroy the rotational symmetry that the uncoupled system possesses. We examine some of the simplest cases of such couplings for a system of two nonidentical oscillators. When the coupling breaks the rotational invariance, there is a qualitative difference between oscillators wherein the phase velocity has the same sign (termed co-rotation) or opposite signs (termed counter-rotation). In the regime of oscillation death the relative sense of the phase rotations plays a major role. In particular, when rotational invariance is broken, counter-rotation or phase velocities of opposite signs appear to destabilize existing fixed points, thereby preserving and possibly extending the range of oscillatory behavior. The dynamical "frustration" induced by counter-rotations can thus suppress oscillation quenching when coupling breaks the symmetry.
The phenomenon of ageing in a population of autonomous oscillators, namely the increase in the number of inactive (or non-oscillatory) units due to coupling interactions is studied in a population of globally coupled Stuart–Landau oscillators. The initial populations are prepared either as a mixture of active and inactive oscillators or as an ensemble of active oscillators with a mixture of distinct frequencies. The ageing transition does not depend on whether the coupling breaks gauge symmetry or not, but is affected by the degree of diversity in the ensemble, namely the existence of different types of subsystems that can cause oscillation quenching when coupled. The scaling exponents depend on the nature of the coupling interaction.
Dynamics of nonlinear oscillators augmented with co- and counter-rotating linear damped harmonic oscillator is studied in detail. Depending upon the sense of rotation of augmenting system, the collective dynamics converges to either synchronized periodic behaviour or oscillation death. Multistability is observed when there is a transition from periodic state to oscillation death. In the periodic region, the system is found to be in mixed synchronization state, which is characterized by the newly defined "relative phase angle" between the different axes.
We study the propagation of rare or extreme events in a network of coupled nonlinear oscillators, where counter-rotating oscillators play the role of the malfunctioning agents. The extreme events originate from the coupled counter-oscillating pair of oscillators through a mechanism of saddle-node bifurcation. A detailed study of the propagation and the destruction of the extreme events and how these events depend on the strength of the coupling is presented. Extreme events travel only when nearby oscillators are in synchronization. The emergence of extreme events and their propagation are observed in a number of excitable systems for different network sizes and for different topologies.
