We propose a new approach to investigate the frequency synchronization in networks of coupled oscillators. By making use of the theory of monotone dynamical systems, we show that frequency synchronization occurs in networks of coupled oscillators, provided the coupling scheme is symmetric, connected, and strongly cooperative. Our criterion is independent of the system size, the coupling strength and the details of the connections, and applies also to nonlinear coupling schemes.

Discrete Time Dynamical Systems

This article describes a method — called here "the method of Stretching Along the Paths" (SAP) — to prove the existence of chaotic sets in discrete-time dynamical systems. The method of SAP, although mathematically rigorous, is based on some elementary geometrical considerations and is relatively easy to apply to models arising in applications. The paper provides a description of the basic mathematical ideas behind the method, as well as three applications to economic models. Incidentally, the paper also discusses some questions concerning the definition of chaos and some problems arising from economic models in which the dynamics are defined only implicitly.
