Multiplicity of Limit Cycle Attractors in Coupled Heteroclinic Cycles
Abstract
A square lattice distribution of coupled oscillators that have heteroclinic cycle attractors is studied. In this system, we find a novel type of patterns that is spatially disordered and periodic in time. These patterns are limit cycle attractors in the ambient phase space (i.e. not chaotic) and many limit cycles exist dividing the phase space as their basins. The patterns are constructed with a local law of difference of phases between the oscillators. The number of patterns grows exponentially with increasing of the number of oscillators.
