Self-oscillations underlie many natural phenomena such as heartbeat, ocean waves, and the pulsation of variable stars. From pendulum clocks to the behavior of animal groups, self-oscillation is one of the keys to the understanding of…

We consider the dynamical properties of a simple model of vibrational surface modes. We obtain the exact spectrum of surface excitations and discuss their dynamical features. In addition to the usually discussed localized and oscillatory…
