Intermittent Behavior and Synchronization of Two Coupled Noisy Driven Oscillators

The coupled system of two forced Liénard-type oscillators has applications in diode-based electric circuits and phenomenological models for the heartbeat. These systems typically exhibit intermittent transitions between laminar and chaotic states; what affects their performance and, since noise is a...
