| Description | The contribution presents a bifurcation theory point of view to synchronization of a forced van der Pol oscillator, which is coupled to a master oscillator as a system with a stable limit cycle corresponding to harmonic oscillation. We present bifurcation manifolds, 3D sections of the phase space and its Poincaré sections for parameters close to these manifolds providing a clear visualization of the dynamics of the 4D system. Among other things, we present the coexistence of a stable torus and a stable cycle arising from q-fold bifurcation on an Arnold tongue. |
