Fig. 4.

A robust heteroclinic cycle for four all-to-all coupled phase oscillator system analogous to the cycle found in Figure 3 for the Hodgkin-Huxley type system. The heteroclinic cycle consists of two saddle equilibria <a onClick="popup('http://www.mathematical-neuroscience.com/content/1/1/13/mathml/M216','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.mathematical-neuroscience.com/content/1/1/13/mathml/M216">View MathML</a> and <a onClick="popup('http://www.mathematical-neuroscience.com/content/1/1/13/mathml/M217','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.mathematical-neuroscience.com/content/1/1/13/mathml/M217">View MathML</a> and connections <a onClick="popup('http://www.mathematical-neuroscience.com/content/1/1/13/mathml/M221','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.mathematical-neuroscience.com/content/1/1/13/mathml/M221">View MathML</a> and <a onClick="popup('http://www.mathematical-neuroscience.com/content/1/1/13/mathml/M223','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.mathematical-neuroscience.com/content/1/1/13/mathml/M223">View MathML</a> on invariant subspaces. The invariant subspaces are embedded in a cube that represents a unit cell for the torus of phase difference space- in this representation the vertices represent in-phase solutions where all oscillators are synchronized.
