Discussion of mechanisms leading to multistability in the van der Pol–Duffing oscillator indicates shared mechanisms in single and coupled systems.
We discuss the mechanism leading to the multistability in the externally excited van der Pol–Duffing oscillator. It has been shown that the mechanism (the sequence of bifurcations) leading to the phase multistability in coupled oscillators is the same as the mechanism leading to the bistability in the single oscillator.
