Recent Advances in Coupled Oscillator Theory
We review the theory of weakly coupled oscillators for smooth systems. We then examine situations where application of the standard theory falls short and illustrate how it can be extended. Specific examples are given to non-smooth systems with applications to the Izhikevich neuron. We then introduce the idea of isostable reduction to explore behaviors that the weak coupling paradigm cannot explain. In an additional example, we show how bifurcations that change the stability of phase locked solutions in a pair of identical coupled neurons can be understood using the notion of isostable reduction.
