TY - JOUR A1 - Politi, Antonio A1 - Rosenblum, Michael T1 - Equivalence of phase-oscillator and integrate-and-fire models T2 - Physical review : E, Statistical, nonlinear and soft matter physics N2 - A quantitative comparison of various classes of oscillators (integrate-and-fire, Winfree, and Kuramoto-Daido type) is performed in the weak-coupling limit for a fully connected network of identical units. An almost perfect agreement is found, with only tiny differences among the models. We also show that the regime of self-consistent partial synchronization is rather general and can be observed for arbitrarily small coupling strength in any model class. As a byproduct of our study, we are able to show that an integrate-and-fire model with a generic pulse shape can be always transformed into a similar model with delta pulses and a suitable phase response curve.
