Amplitude suppression of oscillators with delay connections and slow switching topology.

The present paper shows that the amplitudes of oscillators in delay-coupled oscillator networks can be suppressed by switching the network topology at a rate much lower than the oscillator frequencies. The mechanism of suppression was clarified numerically, and a procedure for determining the connection parameters to induce suppression is presented. The analytical and numerical results were obtained with Stuart-Landau oscillators and were experimentally validated using double-scroll chaotic circuits.
