Tuning coupling rate to control oscillation quenching in fractional-order coupled oscillators

2020 
Introducing the fractional-order derivative into the coupled dynamical systems intrigues gradually the researchers from diverse fields. In this work, taking Stuart–Landau and Van der Pol oscillators as examples, we compare the difference between fractional-order and integer-order derivatives and further analyze their influences on oscillation quenching behaviors. Through tuning the coupling rate, as an asymmetric parameter to achieve the change from scalar coupling to non-scalar coupling, we observe that the onset of fractional-order not only enlarges the range of oscillation death, but attributes to the transition from fake amplitude death to oscillation death for coupled Stuart–Landau oscillators. We go on to show that for a coupled Van der Pol system only in the presence of a fractional-order derivative, oscillation quenching behaviors will occur. The results pave a way for revealing the control mechanism of oscillation quenching, which is critical for further understanding the function of fractional-order in a coupled nonlinear model.
