In 1665, Christiaan Huygens reported the observation of the synchronization of two pendulum clocks hanged on the wall of his workshop. After synchronization, the clocks swung exactly in the same frequency and $180^{o}$ out of phase --…
In 1665, Huygens observed that two pendulum clocks hanging from the same board became synchronized in antiphase after hundreds of swings. On the other hand, modern experiments with metronomes placed on a movable platform show that they…
We introduce an interaction mechanism between oscillators leading to exact anti-phase and in-phase synchronization. This mechanism is applied to the coupling between two nonlinear oscillators with a limit cycle in phase space, leading to a…
This paper investigates the synchronization of three identical oscillators, or clocks, suspended from a common rigid support. We consider scenarios where each clock interacts with the other two, achieving synchronization through small…
The synchronization of two pendulum clocks hanging from a wall was first observed by Huygens during the XVII century. This type of synchronization is observed in other areas, and is fundamentally different from the problem of two clocks…
Weakly coupled oscillators adjust their dynamics to work in unison: they synchronize. This ubiquitous phenomenon is observed for oscillating pendulum, electronic devices, as well as clapping crowds or flashing fireflies. In effect,…
This study examines the synchronization of three identical oscillators arranged in an array and coupled by small impacts, wherein each oscillator interacts solely with its nearest neighbor. The synchronized state, which is asymptotically…
The phenomenon of phase synchronization was evidenced in the 17th century by Huygens while observing two pendulums of clocks leaning against the same wall. This phenomenon has more recently appeared as a widespread phenomenon in nature, and…
353 years ago, in a letter to the Royal Society of London, Christiaan Huygens described "an odd kind of sympathy" between two pendulums mounted side by side on a wooden beam, which inspired the modern studies of synchronization in coupled…
We propose a quantum analogue of the Huygens clock, in which the phases of two spins achieve synchronization through their interaction with a shared environment. The environment functions analogously to the escapement mechanism in a…

We consider $N$ oscillators coupled by a mean field as in the Winfree model. The model is governed by two parameters: the coupling strength $\kappa$ and the spectrum width $\gamma$ of the frequencies of each oscillator. In the uncoupled…
We study the synchronization phenomena in a system of globally coupled oscillators with time delay in the coupling. The self-consistency equations for the order parameter are derived, which depend explicitly on the amount of delay. Analysis…
Synchronization is a hallmark of collective behavior that emerges when nonlinear systems interact, spanning scales from mechanical oscillators to planetary orbits. As a universal phenomenon it underpins the study of complex systems and has…
Clock synchronization is a widely discussed topic in the engineering literature. Ensuring that individual clocks are closely aligned is important in network systems, since the correct timing of various events in a network is usually…
This paper proposes a novel method to achieve and preserve synchronization for a set of connected heterogeneous Van der Pol oscillators. Unlike the state-of-the-art synchronization methods, in which a large coupling gain is applied to…
We investigate the stability of the synchronization manifold in a ring and an open-ended chain of nearest neighbors coupled self-sustained systems, each self-sustained system consisting of multi-limit cycles van der Pol oscillators. Such…
Synchronization of forced reactively coupled van der Pol oscillators is investigated in the phase approximation. We discuss essential features of the reactive coupling. Bifurcation mechanisms for the destruction of complete synchronization…
The model we consider consists in a double pendulum set, where the pivot points are free to shift along a horizontal line. Moreover, the two pendula are coupled by means of a spring whose extremities connect two points of each pendulum, at…
