Design of time-delayed connection parameters for inducing amplitude death in high-dimensional oscillator networks.

ABSTRACT

The present paper studies time-delayed-connection induced amplitude death in high-dimensional oscillator networks. We provide two procedures for design of a coupling strength and a transmission delay these procedures do not depend on the topology of oscillator networks (i.e., network structure and number of oscillators). A graphical procedure based on the Nyquist criterion is proposed and then is numerically confirmed for the case of five-dimensional oscillators, called generalized Rössler oscillators, which have two pairs of complex conjugate unstable roots. In addition, for the case of high-dimensional oscillators having two unstable roots, the procedure can be systematically carried out using only a simple algebraic calculation. This systematic procedure is numerically confirmed for the case of three-dimensional oscillators, called Moore-Spiegel oscillators, which have two positive real unstable roots.
