Synchronization Conditions for Nonlinear Oscillator Networks
<|reference_start|>Synchronization Conditions for Nonlinear Oscillator Networks: Understanding conditions for the synchronization of a network of interconnected oscillators is a challenging problem. Typically, only sufficient conditions are reported for the synchronization problem. Here, we adopted the Lyapunov-Floquet theory and the Master Stability Function approach in order to derive the synchronization conditions for a set of coupled nonlinear oscillators. We found that the positivity of the coupling constant is a necessary and sufficient condition for synchronizing linearly full-state coupled identical oscillators. Moreover, in the case of partial state coupling, the asymptotic convergence of volume in state space is ensured by a positive coupling constant. The numerical calculation of the Master Stability Function for a benchmark two-dimensional oscillator validates the synchronization corresponding to the positive coupling. The results are illustrated using numerical simulations and experimentation on benchmark oscillators.<|reference_end|>
