Wave propagation of phase difference in coupled oscillator arrays
There are many synchronization phenomena in coupled oscillator arrays. There is a wave of a phase difference which is one of synchronization phenomena. The wave, which a phase difference between adjacent oscillators propagates, continuously exists. We call the wave a phase-inversion wave. The phase-inversion waves can be observed on a ladder and a cross constructed by van der Pol oscillators. In this section, the phase-inversion waves are introduced.
