We proposed a simple model of coupled mechanical oscillators (e.g. metronomes) and analyzed both synchronization and quenching by performing weakly nonlinear analysis. Numerical bifurcation analyses of out-of-phase synchronization and beat-like solution are also addressed, which are highlighted in Figs. 5 and 6. 


Two unique dynamical features of an existing mathematical model (Nowak & May, J. Theor. Biol., 1992.), synchronized growth rates and damped oscillation, are focused on. We find that both the existence of a slowly-replicating agent and its small itinial value are essential for these features. Another contribution of this paper, we believe, is that we perform an stablity analysis to diverging solutions by applying change of variables and a time-scale separation.
