Synchronization is common in both nature and human physiology, often used to illustrate nonlinear dynamics. Interestingly, one can initiate their comprehension of this phenomenon from pure linear systems. In this Tutorial, we begin with a theoretical exploration of coupled oscillators’ dynamic behavior, enabling us to discern and contrast the unique attributes of dissipative coupling as opposed to commonly observed coherent coupling. We then examine synchronization in two dissipative coupled linear systems: one with two pendulums mutually linked via the Lenz effect and the other with two RLC oscillators coupled via a resistor. This Tutorial is designed to serve as a concise starting point for researchers interested in exploring synchronization phenomena using a simplified model driven solely by dissipative coupling.
