Oscillators as Systems and Synchrony as a Design Principle

[en] The chapter presents an expository survey of ongoing research by the author on a system theory for oscillators. Oscillators are regarded as open systems that can be interconnected to robustly stabilize ensemble phenomena characterized by a certain level of synchrony. The first part of the chapter provides examples of design (stabilization) problems in which synchrony plays an important role. The second part of the chapter shows that dissipativity theory provides an interconnection theory for oscillators.
