Despite the prevalence of biological and physical systems for which synchronization is critical, existing theory for optimizing synchrony depends on global information and does not sufficiently explore local mechanisms that enhance…
Oscillators coupled in a network can synchronize with each other to yield a coherent population rhythm. If multiple such networks are coupled together, the question arises whether these rhythms will synchronize. We investigate the impact of…
Bearings are mechanical dissipative systems that, when perturbed, relax toward a synchronized (bearing) state. Here we find that bearings can be perceived as physical realizations of complex networks of oscillators with asymmetrically…
Anticipated synchronisation occurs when a driven dynamical system synchronises with the future state of the driver system to which it is unidirectionally coupled. Previous theoretical and experimental studies have focused on setups with a…
A novel viewpoint, i.e., adaptive synchronization, is proposed to explore collective rhythm observed in many complex, self-organizing systems. We show that a simple adaptive coupling is able to tip arrays of oscillators towards collective…
We experimentally study the synchronization of two chaotic electronic circuits whose dynamics is relayed by a third parameter-matched circuit, to which they are coupled bidirectionally in a linear chain configuration. In a wide range of…
The mechanism of phase synchronization between uncoupled limit-cycle oscillators induced by common external impulsive forcing is analyzed. By reducing the dynamics of the oscillator to a random phase map, it is shown that phase…
Synchronization by exchange of pulses is a widespread phenomenon, observed in flashing fireflies, applauding audiences and the neuronal network of the brain. Hitherto the focus has been on integrate-and-fire oscillators. Here we consider…
A biophysical model of arousal dynamics is used to study mechanisms of synchronisation and loss of synchrony among the three key oscillators controlling sleep-wake cycles: the circadian, homeostatic, and light oscillators. Synchronisation…
Synchronization of actively oscillating organelles such as cilia and flagella facilitates self-propulsion of cells and pumping fluid in low Reynolds number environments. To understand the key mechanism behind synchronization induced by…
Synchronization is studied in an array of identical linear oscillators of arbitrary order, coupled through a dynamic network comprising dissipative connectors (e.g., dampers) and restorative connectors (e.g., springs). The coupling network…
Synchronization is studied in an array of identical oscillators undergoing small vibrations. The overall coupling is described by a pair of matrix-weighted Laplacian matrices; one representing the dissipative, the other the restorative…
We show that the synchronized states of two systems of identical chaotic maps subject to either, a common drive that acts with a probability p in time or to the same drive acting on a fraction p of the maps, are similar. The synchronization…
An oscillatory system can have clockwise and anticlockwise senses of rotation. We propose a general rule how to obtain counter-rotating oscillators from the definition of a dynamical system and then investigate synchronization. A type of…
A new method is introduced for analysis of interactions between time-dependent coupled oscillators, based on the signals they generate. It distinguishes unsynchronized dynamics from noise-induced phase slips, and enables the evolution of…
Synchronization of two or more self-sustained oscillators is a well-known and studied phenomenon, appearing both in natural and designed systems. In some cases, the synchronized state is undesired, and the aim is to destroy synchrony by…
Synchronization of coupled oscillators is observed in many natural and engineered systems and emerges due to the interactions within the system. It can be both beneficial, e.g., in power grids, and harmful, e.g., in epileptic seizures. In…
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…
Spontaneous synchronization is a general phenomenon in which a large population of coupled oscillators of diverse natural frequencies self-organize to operate in unison. The phenomenon occurs in physical and biological systems over a wide…
The functional significance of correlations between action potentials of neurons is still a matter of vivid debates. In particular it is presently unclear how much synchrony is caused by afferent synchronized events and how much is…
