Ratcheting is a novel phenomenon for coupled oscillator systems that gives
rise to asymmetric desynchronization and frequency locking of oscillators.
A particular type of robust heteroclinic network — heteroclinic
ratchet — induces the ratcheting effect. In this talk, this effect
will be explained with an example of 4-cell oscillator system and some
other examples that have the same effect will be shown. Finally, the
definition of heteroclinic ratchet will be given for more general dynamical
systems on N-dimensional torus and the relation between heteroclinic
ratchets and different synchronization types of oscillators will be
discussed.
