Phys. Rev. E 62, 6440–6446 (2000)Disorder can eliminate oscillator deathReceived 20 April 2000; published in the issue dated November 2000 We use an array of diffusively coupled limit-cycle oscillators with a regular monotonic trend of natural frequencies to demonstrate that the disorder introduced in the form of random deviations from a linear trend of frequencies can weaken considerably desynchronization-induced oscillator death and, as a result, increase oscillation intensity substantially. There exist definite optimal levels of magnitude of spatial disorder at which maximal oscillatory energy is attained in the array. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
