abstract
We consider a ring of identical elements with time delayed, nearest neighbour coupling. The individual elements are modelled by a scalar delay differential equation which includes linear decay and nonlinear delayed feedback. The linear stability of the trivial solution is completely analyzed and illustrated in the parameter space of the coupling strength and the coupling delay. Conditions for global stability of the trivial solution are also given. The bifurcation and stability of nontrivial synchronous solutions from the trivial solution is analyzed using a centre manifold construction.
