Deterministic description of a phase transition in a medium of interacting waves

We describe an effect of phase-locking catastrophe arising in an ensemble of a great number of oscillators interacting by means of their emitting waves. These waves can be either pulsatile, that is, soliton-like, or continuous stationary waves generated by the oscillators considered as resonators. E...
