title: Synchronous regimes in ensembles of coupled Bonhoeffer-van der Pol oscillators.
abstract: We study synchronous behavior in ensembles of locally coupled nonidentical Bonhoeffer-van der Pol oscillators. We show that, in a chain of N elements not less than 2;{N-1}, different coexisting regimes of global synchronization are possible, and we investigate wave-induced synchronous regimes in a chain and in a lattice of coupled nonidentical Bonhoeffer-van der Pol oscillators.
