Amplitude death

Last updated

In the theory of dynamical systems, amplitude death refers to a complete stop of oscillations as a result of coupling interactions. The phenomenon can arise from systems either in periodic motion or chaotic motion before it goes to amplitude death. [1] Understanding the complex behavior of oscillators is important for applications in pendulums, fluid, ecological, and population dynamics.

A dynamical system can go to amplitude death because of change in intrinsic parameters of the system or its interaction with other systems or its environment. [2] [3] Amplitude death can appear also because of the delay in the coupling between the systems [4] [5]
