Frequency locking in forced oscillatory systems typically occurs in V-shaped domains in the plane spanned by the forcing frequency and amplitude, the so-called Arnold tongues. Here, we show that if the medium is spatially extended and monotonically heterogeneous, e.g., through spatially-dependent natural frequency, the resonance tongues can also display U and W shapes; to the latter, we refer as inverse camel shape. We study the generic forced complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for damped oscillations under parametric forcing and, using linear stability analysis and numerical simulations, uncover the mechanisms that lead to these distinct shapes. Additionally, we study the effects of discretization, by exploring frequency locking of oscillators chains. Since we study a normal-form equation, the results are model-independent near the onset of oscillations, and, therefore, applicable to inherently heterogeneous systems in general, such as the cochlea. The results are also applicable to controlling technological performances in various contexts, such as arrays of mechanical resonators, catalytic surface reactions, and nonlinear optics.
Spatially localized oscillations in periodically forced systems are intriguing phenomena. They may occur in spatially homogeneous media (oscillons), but quite often emerge in heterogeneous media, such as the auditory system, where localized oscillati
Nonlinear oscillator systems are ubiquitous in biology and physics, and their control is a practical problem in many experimental systems. Here we study this problem in the context of the two models of spatially-coupled oscillators: the complex Ginzb
We study quasiperiodically forced circle endomorphisms, homotopic to the identity, and show that under suitable conditions these exhibit uncountably many minimal sets with a complicated structure, to which we refer to as `strangely dispersed. Along t
The emergence of localised vibrations in cyclic and symmetric rotating structures, such as bladed disks of aircraft engines, has challenged engineers in the past few decades. In the linear regime, localised states may arise due to a lack of symmetry,
We address the nonlinear inverse source problem of identifying a time-dependent source occurring in one node of a network governed by a wave equation. We prove that time records of the associated state taken at a strategic set of two nodes yield uniq
