quasiperiodic dynamics.

Problem of interaction between self­sustained oscillating systems of different nature is discussed by an example of coupled brusselator and van der Pol oscillator. Picture of leading oscillator changing with the growth of coupling parameter is shown. Areas of different types of dynamics are indicated in the parameter space. The case of essentially different eigenfrequencies is discussed.

Synchronization phenomena are studied in phase dynamics approximation in the periodically driven system of two coupled oscillators. The cases are discussed when the autonomous oscillators demonstrate phase locking or beats with incommensurate frequencies. Lyapunov charts are presented, the possible regimes of dynamics of the driven system are discussed. Different types of two­dimensional tori are revealed and classified.

We consider the chain of three dissipatively coupled self-oscillating systems with non-identical controlling parameters. We observe situations, when coupling damps different oscillators. The structure of the frequency mismatch – coupling value parameter plane is investigated with a view to the location of oscillator death area, complete synchronization area, two- and three-frequency quasiperiodic regimes. Features, connected with non-identity in controlling parameters, are considered.
