Phase-amplitude reduction far beyond the weakly perturbed paradigm.

While phase reduction is a well-established technique for the analysis of perturbed limit cycle oscillators, practical application requires perturbations to be sufficiently weak thereby limiting its utility in many situations. Here, a general strategy is developed for constructing a set of phase-amplitude reduced equations that is valid to arbitrary orders of accuracy in the amplitude coordinates. This reduction framework can be used to investigate the behavior of oscillatory dynamical systems far beyond the weakly perturbed paradigm. Additionally, a patchwork phase-amplitude reduction method is suggested that is useful when exceedingly large magnitude perturbations are considered. This patchwork method incorporates the high-accuracy phase-amplitude reductions of multiple nearby periodic orbits that result from modifications to nominal parameters. The proposed method of high-accuracy phase-amplitude reduction can be readily implemented numerically and examples are provided where reductions are computed up to fourteenth order accuracy.
