Cooperative Entrainment and Aging in Globally Coupled Oscillators.
H. Daido

A brief review is given on a couple of key subjects in the nonlinear dynamics of globally coupled dissipative oscillators. One is the phenomenon of cooperative entrainment in populations of limit-cycle oscillators, and the other is the effect of aging in assemblies of limit-cycle or chaotic oscillators. This review is based on the author's recent work.
Key words: coupled oscillators, cooperative entrainment, order function, aging transition, universal scaling
