29. A. Pikovsky, M. Rosenblum, and J. Kurths, Synchronization: A Universal Concept in Nonlinear sciences, (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge 2001). The terms synchronization, locking and entrainment are used in the literature in various ways. In the current paper entrainment is taken to describe the state of a limit-cycle oscillator when its frequency conforms precisely to that of an external forcing. We choose the term locking for the same case, but to emphasize the fixed phase relation. The term synchronization is used here to describe the autonomous entrainment of a set of auto-oscillators to their mutual radiation field in the absence of a prescribed forcing. A fourth term, pulling, describes change-but without full conformation-of the frequency of a nonlinear oscillator under the influence of a continuous harmonic force.
