The pulsatile periodic stimulation of an integrate-and-fire oscillator which is an approximation of some biological oscillating systems has been studied. Possible phase-locked patterns between the intrinsic rhythms and two different forcing oscillation perturbations are investigated. Phase transition curves are analyzed by means of functional iterations. It is believed that this study is a step of a global program aimed at disclosing the properties of biological rhythms submitted to periodic stimulations.
