Study of Self-Sustained Oscillators
It is further divided into two categories:
(1) Study of Autonomous Behavior, i.e. the study of an isolated oscillator.
(2) Study of Coupled or Collective Behavior, i.e. the study of interacting oscillators.

Linear vs Nonlinear
Linear systems either show decaying behavior like radioactive substances or
exhibit growth which eventually saturates like population growth of any species.
In contrast, Nonlinear systems have an ability to display self-sustained behavior, i.e. rhythmic activity, like heart rhythms, neuron activities in brain, etc.
