摘要
We derive return maps and phase diagrams to identify mechanisms of synchronization of pulse-coupled oscillators and emphasize the importance of temporal delays and inhibitory coupling. Optimum synchronization between two oscillators is obtained for inhibitory coupling, where delays give rise to stable in-phase synchronization; those with excitatory coupling only synchronize with a phase lag. In large ensembles of globally coupled oscillators the delayed interaction leads to new collective phenomena like synchronization in multistable clusters of common phases for inhibitory coupling; for excitatory coupling a mechanism of emerging and decaying synchronized clusters prevails. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
