Experimental observation of a transition from amplitude to oscillation death in coupled oscillators

Abstract

We report the first experimental evidence of an important transition scenario, namely the transition from amplitude death (AD) to oscillation death (OD) state in coupled limit cycle oscillators. We consider two Van der Pol oscillators coupled through mean-field diffusion and show that this system exhibits a transition from AD to OD, which was earlier shown for Stuart-Landau oscillators under the same coupling scheme [T. Banerjee and D. Ghosh, arXiv:1403.2907, 2014]. We show that the AD-OD transition is governed by the density of mean-field and beyond a critical value this transition is destroyed; further, we show the existence of a nontrivial AD state that coexists with OD. Next, we implement the system in an electronic circuit and experimentally confirm the transition from AD to OD state. We further characterize the experimental parameter zone where this transition occurs. The present study may stimulate the search for the practical systems where this important transition scenario can be observed experimentally.
