The present study investigates amplitude death in an oscillator network with asymmetric connection delays and a tree graph topology. A frequency domain analysis reveals that the local steady-state stability is dominated by the sum of the connection delays between connected oscillators. Based on this observation, we show that the local steady-state stability can be reduced to that with symmetric connection delays, as long as the sum of the connection delays between connected oscillators satisfies a certain condition. Numerical simulations verify the analytical results.
1 Introduction Mutual interactions among oscillators cause two major oscillation quenching phenomena: oscillation death (OD) and amplitude death (AD) [1–3]. Oscillation death is the emergence of a stable heterogeneous steady state by interactions, whereas AD is the stabilization of a homogeneous steady state in coupled oscillators. Since AD can eliminate unwanted oscillations in many practical systems, it has been actively investigated not only from an academic perspective [4–18], but also from an engineering point of view [19–24]. The connection delay in the interactions plays a crucial role in the occurrence of AD [25]. Since connection delay is inherent in real-world networks, AD in delayedcoupled oscillators has been intensively investigated both analytically and experimentally [5–12,16–18,20–23]. Most studies on AD consider only symmetric connection delays: τij = τji holds for any i and j, where τij is the connection delay from oscillator j to oscillator i (see Fig. 1). In real-world networks, however, such as neural networks [26], the connection delays are usually not symmetric, and are instead asymmetric (i.e., τij 6= τji ). To the best of our knowledge, there have been few efforts to deal with AD induced with asymmetric connection delays, because such delays complicate the analytical treatment of the stability. Amplitude death induced with asymmetric connection delays has been numerically observed [26,27]. Although these studies [26,27] confirm the occurrence of AD in various network topologies, they a
