Abstract
When in an ensemble of oscillatory units the interaction occurs through a diffusion-like manner, the intrinsic oscillations can be quenched through two structurally different scenarios: amplitude death (AD) and oscillation death (OD). Unveiling the underlying principles of stable rhythmic activity against AD and OD is a challenging issue of substantial practical significance. Here, by developing a low-pass filter (LPF) to track the output signals of the local system in the coupling, we show that it can revoke both AD and OD, and even the AD to OD transition, thereby giving rise to oscillations in coupled nonlinear oscillators under diverse death scenarios. The effectiveness of the local LPF is proven to be valid in an arbitrary network of coupled oscillators with distributed propagation delays. The constructive role of the local LPF in revoking deaths provides a potential dynamic mechanism of sustaining a reliable rhythmicity in real-world systems.
