Specific locking in populations dynamics: symmetry analysis for coupled heteroclinic cycles (Q869559)

The author studies numerically the dynamics of an array, which consists of two types of oscillators. The oscillators of the first type have a stable limit cycle in the absence of coupling and the oscillators of the second type have a heteroclinic cycle. The author discusses the symmetry properties of locked solutions, which appear due to the coupling, and their relations to the symmetry of the coupled array.
