Abstract:
We study the dynamics of time-delay coupled limit-cycle oscillators in the amplitude death regime. Through a detailed analysis of the Jacobian at the fixed point, we show that the phase-flip transition, namely, the abrupt change from in-phase synchronized dynamics to antiphase synchronized dynamics, is associated with an interchange of the imaginary parts of complex pairs of eigenvalues at an "avoided crossing" of Lyapunov exponents as a parameter is varied. An order parameter for the transition is constructed through the eigenvectors of the Jacobian.

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the 20th century...
Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lag Control
Phase-lag controllers do not place a pole at zero, but instead influence the steady-state error by amplifying any finite,...
Phase Changes
A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...
Time and frequency -Domain Interpretation of Phase-lead Control
The design of phase-lead control involves the strategic placement of poles and zeros to balance steady-state error and system...
