Synchronization of coupled forced oscillators (Q1380313)

The authors consider an array of diffusively coupled Josephine junctions with periodic forcing. By using the theory of attractors and stability theory they are able to prove the phenomena of synchronization when the parameters of the system satisfy certain conditions. This work is similar to recent works by Afraimovich, Chow and Hale, the difference being in studying solvability of a matrix Riccati equation.
