Abstract
Nonlinear Polarisationoscillations To describe a metastable electric dipole state in a biological system, Fröhlich suggested a nonlinear model potential. In this paper we investigate a system of two nonlinear dipoles, which are coupled by a dipole-dipole interaction. We apply an external field and add linear damping terms. The external drive leads to a phase-locking of the dipoles. Mathematically, the system corresponds to an externally driven anharmonic oscillator with damping. We investigate the system of coupled oscillators and look for the stable and metastable solutions as a function of the internal and external parameters.
