Abstract

Oscillators abound in physics (Haken 1970, 1983a) and many other branches of the natural sciences such as chemistry (Kuramoto 1984), biology and medicine (Freeman 1975, Freund 1983, Steriade, Jones, Llinás 1990). These days the theory of oscillators is a well-established branch of nonlinear physics and mathematics (cf. Haken 1977, 1983a, Winfree 1980, Arnold 1983, Kuramoto 1984, Guckenheimer and Holmes 1990). It revealed many important insights into the interactions of oscillators and the reactions of an oscillator to external perturbations.
