Synchronization patterns in geometrically frustrated rings of relaxation oscillators

Abstract: Coupled nonlinear oscillators can exhibit a wide variety of patterns. We study the Brusselator as a prototypical autocatalytic reaction-diffusion model. Working in the limit of strong nonlinearity provides a clear timescale separation that leads to a canard explosion in a single Brusselator. In this highly nonlinear regime, it is numerically found that rings of coupled Brusselators do not follow the predictions from Turing analysis. We find that the behavior can be explained using a piecewise linear approximat… Show more

“…When a group of N identical oscillators are arranged in a ring such that each oscillator is coupled to its two neighbors, the simplest group of resulting oscillator states are splay states where each pair of oscillators is separated by a constant phase difference (2πk=N), yielding an integral number (k) of phase rotations around the ring (2πk) (34). However, a splay state with perfectly antiphase synchronization between neighboring oscillators is inherently impossible when an odd number of HNDs are configured into a ring, leading to a geometrically frustrated system (37). Experimentally, we observe complex phase dynamics when HNDs are arranged in a three-oscillator ring structure, the smallest of frustrated geometries (Fig.…”

“…It has been understood that the onset of synchronous behaviour can be affected by the local connectivity and correlations among the nodes [34], and global features captured by the network's spectral dimension [35]. The nature of synchronisation transition can depend on the process' sensitivity to the sign of interactions, time delay, and the frustration effects causing new phenomena [36][37][38][39][40][41]. Furthermore, the presence of higherorder interactions are shown to induce an abrupt desynchronisation, depending on the dimension of the dynamical variable, and the range of couplings [9,10].…”
