Inferring coupling strength and natural frequency distribution in coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators using linear response

We propose a framework to infer the coupling strength and the natural frequency distribution in a coupled Stuart-Landau oscillator system with a large population. The inference method uses observation of linear response of a macroscopic quantity and of an oscillator. We first solve the direct problem on the response with transforming the system into the phase-amplitude equations. Solving the inverse problem, we show that the coupling strength is inferred from observation of an oscillator and the natural frequency distribution from macroscopic responses. The proposed method requires only one-dimensional observation in the two-dimensional Stuart-Landau system. Validity of the inference theory is examined by numerical simulations.
