โฆ Synopsis
Coupled oscillators in a ring are studied using perturbation and numerical methods. Stability of waves with nearest neighbor weak coupling is shown for a class of simple oscillators. Linkens' model for colorectal activity is analyzed and several stable modes are found. Stability of waves with general (non nearest neighbor coupling) is determined and comparisons to the nearest neighbor case are made. Approximate solutions to a ring with inhomogeneities are compared with numerical simulations.

The scaling of the solution of coupled conservative weakly nonlinear oscillators is demonstrated and analyzed through evaluating the normal modes and their bifurcation with an equivalent linearization technique and calculating the general solutions with a method of multiple scales. The scaling law f
In this paper, a general approach for studying rings of coupled biological oscillators is presented. This approach, which is group-theoretic in nature, is based on the finding that symmetric ring networks of coupled non-linear oscillators possess generic patterns of phaselocked oscillations. The ass
This paper summarizes in a nonmathematical way the major properties of coupled oscillators which relate to circadian rhythms. For certain values of the coupling strength it is far easier to maintain synchrony than to achieve it among the various interacting units. This property not only simulates th
