Synchronization of Short-Range Pulse-Coupled Oscillators
Abstract
We explore systems of pulse-coupled oscillators beyond the mean-field limit [R.E. Mirollo and S.H. Strogatz, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 50, 1645 (1990)] by means of a manageable description which leads to a great simplification of the dynamics. Sufficient conditions for synchronization are exactly obtained for a ring with nearest-neighbor directed interactions, turning out to be the same as in the all-to-all case. Our analysis shows new synchronization mechanisms occurring when the interactions are local.
