Abstract :
This paper studies synchronous phenomena of a network of N relaxation oscillators. The network is constructed by intermittently coupled capacitors. In order to analyze the phenomena, we introduce a hybrid return map of one real and N binary variables. We analyze basic synchronous phenomena and clarify their occurrence rates for initial values.
