Gv. Osipov et Mm. Sushchik, THE EFFECT OF NATURAL FREQUENCY-DISTRIBUTION ON CLUSTER SYNCHRONIZATION IN OSCILLATOR ARRAYS, IEEE transactions on circuits and systems. 1, Fundamental theory andapplications, 44(10), 1997, pp. 1006-1010
The synchronization in an array of oscillators is investigated numeric
ally for different spatial distributions of natural frequencies along
the array. Principal attention is focused on the natural frequency dis
tribution when the total range of frequency values Is constant but par
ticular forms of distribution are changed. Under these condition, the
synchronization increases significantly at the transition from the Fre
quencies varying monotonically along the array to completely irregular
distribution.
