Abstract

We investigate the combined effects of distributed delay and the balance between excitatory and inhibitory nodes on the stability of synchronous oscillations in a network of coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. To this end a symmetric network model is proposed for which the stability can be investigated analytically. It is found that beyond a critical inhibition ratio, synchronization tends to be unstable. However, increasing distributional widths can counteract this trend, leading to multiple resynchronization transitions at relatively high inhibition ratios. The extended applicability of the results is confirmed by numerical studies on asymmetrically perturbed network topologies. All investigations are performed on two distribution types, a uniform distribution and a Γ distribution.
