On Resonance in Periodically Forced Oscillators and Coupled Systems of Excitable Systems and Nonlinear Oscillators

We analyze some mathematical problems that arise in studies of phenomena observed in the cardiac action. We illustrate a method to characterize the response of a nonlinear oscillator to an external forcing, and introduce some numerical results. We also introduce some results of numerical computation in an example of a coupled system of an excitable system and a nonlinear oscillator
