Area of Science:

  • Chemical Kinetics
  • Nonlinear Dynamics
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Coupled oscillators exhibit complex synchronous behaviors.
  • Understanding coupling functions is crucial for predicting system dynamics.
  • Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reactions are a classic example of oscillating chemical systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To theoretically derive a new method for determining the coupling function in a phase model for coupled self-sustained oscillators.
  • To apply this method to Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) oscillators and explain their synchronous behavior.
  • To discuss the significance of higher-order harmonic terms in the coupling function.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical derivation of a coupling function for phase models.
  • Application of the derived method to coupled Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) oscillators.
