Two distinct transitions in a population of coupled oscillators with turnover: desynchronization and stochastic oscillation quenching

Abstract

Synchronization, which is caused by mutual coupling, and turnover, which is the replacement of old components with new ones, are observed in various open systems consisting of many components. Although these phenomena can co-occur, the interplay of coupling and turnover has been overlooked. Here, we analyze coupled phase oscillators with turnover and reveal that two distinct transitions occur, depending on both coupling and turnover: desynchronization and what we name stochastic oscillation quenching. Importantly, the latter requires both the turnover and coupling to be sufficiently intense.
