Frequency Plateaus in a Chain of Weakly Coupled Oscillators, I.

Ermentrout, George Bard, Kopell, Nancy·1984·SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis

Abstract

A chain of $n + 1$ weakly coupled oscillators with a linear gradient in natural frequencies is shown to exhibit “frequency plateaus,” or sequences of oscillators having the same frequency, with a jump in frequency from one plateau to another. We first show that the equations for the coupled oscillators admit an invariant $(n + 1)$-torus on which the equations have a special form, one in which an n-dimensional subsystem is approximately invariant. We then show that when the linear gradient becomes too steep to allow phaselocking, there emerges a large-scale invariant circle in this n-dimensional system which corresponds to the existence of a pair of plateaus, and whose homotopy class within the n-torus corresponds to the position of the frequency jump. Also discussed are the effects of anisotropic and nonuniform coupling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
