Contraction of monotone phase-coupled oscillators

Dynamical Systems 2012-10-01 v3

Abstract

This paper establishes a global contraction property for networks of phase-coupled oscillators characterized by a monotone coupling function. The contraction measure is a total variation distance. The contraction property determines the asymptotic behavior of the network, which is either finite-time synchronization or asymptotic convergence to a splay state.
