General form of coupling leading to synchronization of oscillating dynamical systems.
There are numerous examples in nature where oscillating or pulsing physical and biological systems automatically synchronize. Here we pose the question: Is there a general type of coupling that leads to such synchronization? It is demonstrated on numerous examples that dissipative coupling results in synchronization for a variety of systems.
