5. A Model of Diffusive Coupling
We perform a simple analysis to determine the form of coupling function K(d) that corresponds to diffusion. Suppose the oscillators are distributed uniformly in space, and that an oscillator at spatial position q has xi= x(q, t) and y = y(q, t). In this case, we replace (1.1) by the continuum approximation

This is the reaction diffusion system studied in Chapter 5. Hence K(d)
v 2 o(d) provides a model of diffusive coupling.
6. A Diffusively Coupled System
We study synchronization in a system of diffusively coupled oscil- lators. Initially, the phases ~ of the oscillators are distributed uni- formly throughout [-

0, we recall that the distribution of phases be- comes sharply peaked about ~ 0 as B becomes large and negative.Since n(~, q, T) o(~) as q ~ 0, we require B(q, T) ~ - m as q ~ 0 for fixed T > 0.

The rate of synchronization is determined by q, decreasing as lql ~ oo This is illustrated in Figure7.6,
where n(~, q, T) is plotted vs.~ for various q at a fixed instant of time T.

Cohen's treatment of a nonlinear two point boundary value problem[?].For our constructive proof, it is convenient to consider
Y =- X(s).

(7. 7)The integrand of (7.6) is antisymmetric about the line u = v, hence, the contribution to the integral from the square 0

< v ~s is zero. This allows us to change the region of integration from
0

region of integration, and some simple algebraic manipulations, (7.6) becomes

This is the required result. The pincer movement in
(7.10)
closes, and the sequence{Y }
n converges to a single limit Y(s), which satisfies
Y(s) (7.23)
Y(s) provides the solution to the boundary value problem (7.2). Since, the iterates Y (s) are all monotone decreasing, the solution Y(s) is
n monotone decreasing.
