Periodic forcing of an oscillatory system produces frequency locking bands within which the system frequency is rationally related to the forcing frequency. We study extended oscillatory systems that respond to uniform periodic forcing at…

In the early 60's J. B. Keller and D. Levy discovered a fundamental property: the instability tongues in Mathieu-type equations lose sharpness with the addition of higher-frequency harmonics in the Mathieu potentials. 20 years later V.…
Nonautonomous driving of an oscillator has been shown to enlarge the Arnold tongue in parameter space, but little is known about the analogous effect for a network of oscillators. To test the hypothesis that deterministic nonautonomous…
We consider the stability of periodic map with period-$2$ in linear fractional difference equations where the function is $f(x)=ax$ at even times and $f(x)=bx$ at odd times. The stability of such a map for an integer order map depends on…
Frequency responses of multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems with weak forcing and damping can be studied as perturbations from their conservative limit. Specifically, recent results show how bifurcations near resonances can be…

Networks of coupled nonlinear oscillators model a broad class of physical, chemical and biological systems. Understanding emergent patterns in such networks is an ongoing effort with profound implications for different fields. In this work,…
It is well-known that the dynamics of the Arnold circle map is phase-locked in regions of the parameter space called Arnold tongues. If the map is invertible, the only possible dynamics is either quasiperiodic motion, or phase-locked…

The family of circle maps \begin{equation*} f_{b, \omega} (x) = x + \omega + b\, \phi(x) \end{equation*} is used as a simple model for a periodically forced oscillator. The parameter $\omega$ represents the unforced frequency, $b$ the…
