Confinement and death of oscillations in coupled chaotic bistable oscillators
Abstract
Description
In coupled chaotic bistable systems such as Lorenz and Chua oscillators, two-phase domains corresponding to the two lobes of the strange attractor are formed. The dynamics of each domain is confined to one lobe and typically exhibits one of the two types of behavior: oscillation death or nearly periodic oscillations. We elucidate the role of intrinsic broad time scales on the confinement and the oscillation death.
