Abstract

A coupling function that describes the interaction between self-sustained oscillators in a phase equation is derived and applied experimentally to Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) oscillators. It is demonstrated that the synchronous behavior of coupled BZ reactors is explained extremely well in terms of the coupling function thus obtained. This method does not require comprehensive knowledge of either the oscillation mechanism or the interaction among the oscillators, both of these being often difficult to elucidate in an actual system. These facts enable us to accurately analyze the weakly coupled entrainment phenomenon through the direct measurement of the coupling function.
