Abstract :
There have been many investigations of the mutual synchronization of oscillators. In this study we consider N oscillators which have the same natural frequency, mutually coupled by one negative resistor. In this system, according to the negative range of the coupling negative resistor, we can observe various interesting synchronization phenomena, because this system tends to minimize the power consumption in the coupling negative resistor. Especially when the I-V characteristics of the coupling negative resistor are not third-power, but linear and negative, this system tends to be stable by producing the power in the coupling one. The phase states are changed according to the negative range of the coupling negative resistor
