Amplitude death
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the theory of dynamical systems, amplitude death refers to a complete stop of oscillations as a result of coupling interactions. The phenomenon can arise from systems either in periodic motion or chaotic motion before it goes to amplitude death.[1] Understanding the complex behavior of oscillators is important for applications in pendulums, fluid, ecological, and population dynamics.
A dynamical system can go to amplitude death because of change in intrinsic parameters of the system or its interaction with other systems or its environment.[2][3] Amplitude death can appear also because of the delay in the coupling between the systems[4][5]
