The large-inertia and large-initial-velocity oscillator-death conjecture for the inertial Winfree model

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let V∈RN\mathcal{V}\in\mathbb{R}^N be the vector of intrinsic velocities, and let κc(V)\kappa_c(\mathcal{V}) denote the critical coupling strength of the Winfree system. Let initial data (Θ0,Ω0)∈R2N(\Theta^0,\Omega^0)\in\mathbb{R}^{2N} and positive inertia m>0m>0 be given. The large-inertia and large-initial-velocity oscillator-death conjecture. If

κ≥κc(V),\kappa\geq\kappa_c(\mathcal{V}),

then, for any initial data (Θ0,Ω0)∈R2N(\Theta^0,\Omega^0)\in\mathbb{R}^{2N} and any positive inertia m>0m>0, the solution Θ(t)\Theta(t) to the inertial Winfree system exhibits oscillator death. This is a more ambitious open problem than the preceding uniform-constant conjecture because it imposes no smallness condition on the inertia or initial velocity.
