VARIETY OF SYNCHRONOUS REGIMES IN ENSEMBLES OF NONIDENTICAL OSCILLATORS: Two coupled elements

We study synchronization of two coupled nonidentical Bonhoeffer–van der Pol oscillators. Coexistence of two different synchronous regimes is proved. Mechanisms of synchronous regimes origination and destruction are investigated. Fluctuations influence on syncronous regimes is considered. It is found that noise can cause: i) synchronization destruction and beating originations; ii) fluctuations-caused bistability destruction; iii) fluc-tuations-caused intermittency of synchronous regimes without synchronization destruction.
