Description
Summary:We explore the transition to in-phase synchronization in globally coupled oscillator arrays, and compare results for van der Pol arrays with Josephson junction arrays. Our approach yields in each case an analytically tractable iterative map; the resulting stability formulas are simple because the expansion procedure identifies natural parameter groups. A third example, an array of Duffing-van der Pol oscillators, is found to be of the same fundamental type as the van der Pol arrays, but the Josephson arrays are fundamentally different owing to the absence of self-resonant interactions.
