Cooperation among non-identical oscillators connected in different topologies

Abstract

Various forms of oscillatory networks exist in our surrounding from neural cells to laser arrays. In many of these networks the nodes can go through a transient process of interaction and start oscillating in synchrony. Each of these nodes is characterized by its internal dynamics and changes its state accordingly. Using several forms of interactions, we numerically examine how the network dynamics is affected by network topology and potential random disturbances.
