    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study explores radial isochron clocks (RICs), modeling them as phase approximations of self-sustained oscillators. We analyzed their responses to external signals and coupling, revealing phenomena like rhythm splitting.

    Main Results:

    • The response of RICs to impulses can be either harmonic or chaotic.
    • Coupling between RICs can lead to rhythm splitting, a phenomenon observed in biological systems.
    • New phase locking results were derived for general weakly coupled RIC systems.

    Conclusions:

    • RICs provide a valuable framework for studying oscillator dynamics and responses.
    • The study demonstrates that coupled RICs can exhibit complex behaviors like rhythm splitting.
    • The derived phase locking results offer new insights into the synchronization of coupled oscillators.
