Abstract
We calculate analytically the phase boundary for a nonequilibrium phase tra nsition in a one-dimensional array of coupled, overdamped parametric harmon ic oscillators in the limit of strong and weak spatial coupling. Our result s show hat he transition is re-entrant with respect to the spatial coupling in agreement with he prediction of the mean-field theory.
