The behaviour of a class of pacemakers characterized by a V-shaped PRC has been determined, for all possible frequencies and amplitudes of stimulation. The analytical study of the phase transition equation reveals that all rhythmic stimuli, but for a set of measure zero, give rise to entrainment. The ratio between firing and stimulation frequencies is a generalized Cantor function of the ratio between spontaneous and stimulation frequencies. A procedure to compute the detailed input/output pattern that underlies each entrainment ratio is given. Finally, the neurophysiological assumptions and implications of the results obtained are discussed.
