Abstract

Coupling delays can play an important role in the dynamics of various networks, such as coupled semiconductor lasers, communication networks, genetic transcription circuits or the brain. A well established effect of a delay is to induce multistability: In oscillatory systems a delay gives rise to coexistent periodic orbits with different frequencies and oscillation patterns. Adding noise to the dynamics, the network switches stochastically between these delay-induced orbits. For phase oscillators, we compute analytically the distribution of frequencies, the robustness to noise and their dependence on system parameters as the coupling strength and coupling delay.
