Abstract:
This paper studies the effects of two different types of distributed-delay coupling in the system of two mutually coupled Kuramoto oscillators: one where the delay distribution is considered inside the coupling function and the other where the distribution enters outside the coupling function. In both cases, the existence and stability of phase-locked solutions is analyzed for uniform and gamma distribution kernels. The results show that while having the distribution inside the coupling function only changes parameter regions where phase-locked solutions exist, when the distribution is taken outside the coupling function, it affects both the existence, as well as stability properties of in- and anti-phase states. For both distribution types, various branches of phase-locked solutions are computed, and regions of their stability are identified for uniform, weak, and strong gamma distributions.

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...
