Abstract In this paper, we try to discuss the mechanism of synchronization or cluster synchronization in the coupled Van der Pol oscillator networks with different topology types by using the theory of rotating periodic solutions. The synchronous solutions here are transformed into rotating periodic solutions of some dynamical systems. By analyzing the bifurcation of rotating periodic solutions, the critical conditions of synchronous solutions are given in three different networks. We use the rotating periodic matrix in the rotating periodic theory to judge various types of synchronization phenomena, such as complete synchronization, anti-phase synchronization, periodic synchronization, or cluster synchronization. All rotating periodic matrices which satisfy the exchange invariance of multiple oscillators form special groups in these networks. By using the conjugate classes of these groups, we obtain various possible synchronization solutions in the three networks. In particular, we find symmetry has different effects on synchronization in different networks. The network with better symmetry has more elements in the corresponding group, which may have more types of synchronous solutions. However, different types of symmetry may get the same type of synchronous solutions or different types of synchronous solutions, depending on whether their corresponding rotating periodic matrices are similar.

This study investigates the wavelet-based system identification capabilities on determining the system nonlinearity based on the system impulse response function. Wavelet estimates of the instantaneous envelopes and instantaneous frequency are used to plot the system backbone curve. This wavelet estimate is then used to estimate the values of the parameter for the system. Two weakly nonlinear oscillators, which are the Duffing and the Van der Pol oscillators, have been analyzed using this wavelet approach. A case study based on a model of an oscillating flap wave energy converter (OFWEC) was also discussed in this study. Based on the results, it was shown that this technique is recommended for nonlinear system identification provided the impulse response of the system can be captured. This technique is also suitable when the system's form is unknown and for estimating the instantaneous frequency even when the impulse responses were polluted with noise.

Abstract The existence of multiple stable states of higher order m:n locking in coupled limit cycle oscillators has been studied by prior authors in the context of injection-locking in systems driven by an external periodic force. The current work builds on this concept to study the higher order locking characteristics of pairs of limit cycle oscillators self-synchronizing under coupling forces. To this end we analyze three oscillator systems: Van der Pol oscillators using numerical analysis, a simplified model for MEMS oscillators using numerical analysis as well as perturbation theory, and a full model of thermo-optically driven MEMS oscillators using numerical analysis. For the Van der Pol system, higher order locking is observed for the strongly nonlinear case corresponding to relaxation oscillations and the transition from weak to strong nonlinearity is studied using a parameter sweep. Additionally, coupling of a different nature such as quadratic coupling is also capable of inducing higher order coupling in Van der Pol oscillators. For the MEMS systems with linear coupling, higher order locking is observed when a strong cubic stiffness nonlinearity exists. Devil’s staircase-like structures are obtained for the coupling strength-frequency ratio parameter space which suggest overlapping Arnold locking regions for m:n locks corresponding to different integers.
