Abstract
Periodic pulsatile perturbation of nonlinear oscillators generates phase-locking, quasiperiodic, and chaotic responses. This work shows that the application of external noise to ensembles of such forced systems can synchronize oscillations, even in regimes where neither the noise nor the periodic forcing, when applied alone, would lead to such a phenomenon.Keywords
