Peskin. Because of the pacemaker’s function, two famous synchronization conjectures for identical and nonidentical oscillators wereformulated.ThefirstofPeskin’sconjectureswassolvedinthepaper(J.Phys. A 21:L699–L705, 1988) by S. Strogatz and R. Mirollo. The second conjecture was solved in the paper by Akhmet (Nonlinear Stud. 18:313–327, 2011). There are still many issues related to the nature and types of couplings. The couplings may be impulsive, continuous, delayed, or advanced, and oscillators may be locally or globally connected. Consequently, it is reasonable to consider various ways of synchronization if one wants the biological and mathematical analyses to interact productively. We investigate the integrate-and-fire model in both cases— one with identical and another with not-quite-identical oscillators. A combination of continuous and pulse couplings that sustain the firing in unison is carefully constructed. Moreover, we obtain conditions on the parameters of continuous couplingsthatmakepossiblearigorousmathematicalinvestigationoftheproblem.

Peskin developed the integrate-and-fire model of the cardiac pacemaker [32] to a population of identical pulse-coupled oscillators.

The cells of the sinoatrial node are able to depolarize spontaneously toward the threshold firing and then recover [9]. The electrical activityofthecardiacpacemakerproducesastrongpatternofvoltagechange.While the nerve cells require a stimulus to fire, cells of the cardiac pacemaker can be consideredtobe“self-firing.”Theyrepetitivelygothroughadepolarizingdischarge andthenrecovertofireagain.Thisactionisanalogoustoarelaxationoscillatorin electronics. The circuit involves a capacitor, which is charged by the energy of a battery(themembranesofthesinoatrialnodeandtheiontransportprocessesplay the role), and a resistor, which controls the flashing rate of the light. In the case of the sinoatrial node, there is input from the physiology of the body related to oxygen demand and other factors that control the rate of firing of the sinoatrial node and hence the heart rate. The question naturally arises of how the neurons organize their firing in unison. The simplest explanation is that the fastest neuron drivesalltheothers,bringingthemtothethreshold.Ifthatwerethecase,thenthe injury of a single cell could significantly change the frequency of the heartbeat. To avoid this important shortcoming, in the paper [50], Peskin proposed a cardiac pacemaker model where signals to fire do not arise from an outside stimuli but instead originate in the population of cells itself. Moreover, the paper proposed thatacardiacpacemakerisapopulationofneuronswithweakcouplingssuchthat synchronyemergesasaresultoftheinteractionofallcells,ratherthanasinglecell dominating. In the papers [3–6], we introduced a new method for the investigation of biological oscillators. The method seems to be universal to analyze integrate-and- fireoscillators.Inparticular,wesolvedthesecondPeskinconjecturein[3,5].Itwas provedthatanensembleofanarbitrarynumberofoscillatorssynchronizesevenif theyarenotquiteidentical. Inthischapterweextendtheapproachtothemodelwithdelayedpulsecoupling. Conditionsthatguaranteethesynchronizationofthemodelarefound.Oursystemis differentthanthatin[16]sincewesupposethatthepulsecouplingisinstantaneous if oscillators are close to each other and are near threshold. In upcoming papers, we plan to consider other models, varying types of the delay involvement, as well as inhibitory models such thatanalogs of resultsin [16] and [62]can be obtained. Moreover, we plan to develop for these systems the theory of the bifurcation of periodic solutions. Some open problems are discussed in Sect.1.5. The method of theanalysisofnonidenticaloscillatorsisbasedonresultsofthetheoryofdifferential equationswithdiscontinuitiesatnonfixedmoments[2].
