“…Most of the works related to collective synchronization in the last decade studied populations of stable limit cycle oscillators described by ordinary differential equations continuously coupled in time [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27]. Much theoretical understanding has been obtained for such systems, as well on models where the phases are the only relevant dynamical parameters [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,29,30] or on models where phase and amplitude can vary [26,31,27], and for populations of identical or almost similar oscillators.…”
