Diversity-induced synchronized oscillations in close-to-threshold excitable elements arranged on regular networks: Effects of network topology

The question of how network topology influences emergent synchronized oscillations in excitable media is addressed. Coupled van der Pol-FitzHugh-Nagumo elements arranged either in regular rings or in the square lattice networks are investigated. Clustered and declustered rings are constructed to hav...
