Abstract:
The amplitude-dependent frequency of the oscillations, termed nonisochronicity, is one of the essential characteristics of nonlinear oscillators. In this paper, the dynamics of the Rössler oscillator in the presence of nonisochronicity is examined. In particular, we explore the appearance of a new fixed point and the emergence of a coexisting limit-cycle and quasiperiodic attractors. We also describe the sequence of bifurcations leading to synchronized, desynchronized attractors and oscillation death states in the coupled Rössler oscillators as a function of the strength of nonisochronicity and coupling parameters. Furthermore, we characterize the multistability of the coexisting attractors by plotting the basins of attraction. Our results open up the possibilities of understanding the emergence of coexisting attractors and into a qualitative change of the collective states in coupled nonlinear oscillators in the presence of nonisochronicity.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
