We investigate the dynamic processes of synchronizing chaotic van der Pol systems driven by periodic force. For a given set of rate parameters, a driven oscillator could possess two types of chaotic attractor. Different initial condition results in the appearance of two trajectories which have...

We investigate the transient characteristics of a system that consists of coupled van der Pol oscillators. Special attention is paid to the synchronization dynamics. Numerical simulation reveals that genuine, transient and generalized synchronizations are possible with appropriate interactions....

The transient characteristics of a nonequilibrium phase transition is investigated in a model of abiased van der Pol oscillator. The state-independent driving term which triggers the bifurcation from limit cycle to fixed point is treated as a randomly fluctuating quantity. The advancement of the...

Transient characteristics of a van der Pol oscillator perturbed by additive and multiplicative noises of different non-linearities are studied and compared systematically. We numerically determine the noise dependence of the period and of the life-time of a noisy oscillator. Attraction basins...
