Diversity-induced synchronized oscillations in close-to-threshold excitable elements arranged on regular networks: Effects of network topology

The question of how network topology influences emergent synchronized oscillations in excitable media is addressed. Coupled van der Pol-FitzHugh-Nagumo elements arranged either in regular rings or in the square lattice networks are investigated. Clustered and declustered rings are constructed to hav...

description The question of how network topology influences emergent synchronized oscillations in excitable media is addressed.
