title: Synchronization in a ring of four mutually coupled van der Pol oscillators: theory and experiment.
abstract: We investigate different states of synchronization in a ring of four mutually coupled van der Pol oscillators. The stability analysis and numerical simulation are performed to determine the suitable coupling parameters leading to high-quality synchronization. The consequences of parameter mismatch are also highlighted. Experimental realization is then used to show the existence of complete and partial synchronization.
