Review text

The author deals with a system of \(N\) coupled identical oscillators in a ring, described by a system of \(N\)-dimensional ordinary differential equations of complex variables, equivalent to the classical \(2N\)-dimensional system with real variables. Each oscillator is defined by quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. It is diffusively and symmetrically coupled to both its neighbors. When uncoupled it is supposed that the isolated oscillator has undergone a bifurcation creating a stable periodic orbit from a parameter increase. The author uses center and normal form tools for showing that for sufficiently small coupling, the only stable rotating waves are either one or a conjugate pair. This result depends on the parity of \(N\) and on the sign of the coupling constant. It is proved that the magnitude of the rotating waves phase difference between neighboring oscillators is either zero (synchronization), or a maximum value, according to the sign of the coupling constant.
