Master Stability Function for networks of coupled non-smooth oscillators

Abstract: This paper describes extension of the Master Stability Function for arrays of non-smooth oscillators. This extension is based on the previously introduced Jacobi matrix estimation method, which can be applied to networks of non-smooth coupled oscillators. Proposed method and its limitations were described. Then the new algorithm was applied to calculate MSF for an impact oscillator. The results were presented and validated using an alternative MSF estimation method.
